apple tv 4k wont play both homepods

I have recently purchased another Apple Homepod to make a pair with my other. They will play in stereo when I get them to play music but only one works when I have them set as a stereo pair on my Apple TV 4K.

HomePod, 14

Have you set them up as Default Audio?

Do a hard reset of the faulty one, you'll need to ungroup the stereo pair first. Use the Pressing the top method: Reset HomePod - Apple Support.

You will need to set HomePod up again on a device that is using the latest software. Stereo pair them again.


Then Restart your Apple TV and set up as home theatre mode . Make sure it’s also running the latest tvOS.


Or you can first just try restarting Apple TV, in case this is why.
