Connecting HomePods to Apple TV 4K while playing video through HDMI to projector

I own an Apple TV 4K and was wondering whether it is possible to connect it through HDMI cable to a projector while connecting the Apple TV to a couple of HomePods through Airplay.

Could you please tell me whether this set-up would work and not generate lag between audio and video?

many thanks

the fact that it's a projector rather than a normal tv should be transparent for the appletv it just sees a hdmi connector which meets the required standard.


you can connect homepods to an appletv try reading Set up home theater audio with HomePod or HomePod mini and Apple TV 4K - Apple Support


if it would be 100% in sync depend on

  1. the wifi signal quality, the more data retransmits required to get the data from the appletv to the homepod the more a risk of it not being in sync
  2. the hdmi signal processing time of the projector
