tvOS 15 and audio options in playback

In tvOS 15, Apple removed the elegant shortcut menu to audio adjustments (slide down on Siri remote pad), in favor of a more iPhone looking menu above the playback timeline. The UI and placement are nice, but the options are abbreviated. The is no longer audio output options available here. So I can’t send music to my bedroom speakers, or reconnect to my AirPods.

This is a tragedy. Anyone know a way of adding more functionality to the audio options during playback?

Maybe someone else can chime in with a good idea on AirPort Express, as I don’t have that equipment. Else I would suggest to contact an expert from the the Apple Support staff for further assistance. Contact Apple for support and service (phone numbers) or start your support request online (chat/email/callback).
