Homepods/Apple TV

Hello I have two large HomePods set up as a pair to my Apple TV (not the 4k one, the version before). I have recently changed TV's and no longer can ask my HomePods to play music without the Apple TV being turned on. This is very annoying has anyone else had this problem and is there a work around?

Apple TV & HomePod Mini volume issues I have an Apple TV with two HomePod minis set up as a stereo pair to my TV in the living room. Periodically one of the HomePods will stop changing volume or muting. So if I try to mute the adverts, only one will mute, which is really annoying. Usually, I just turn the HomePod off for about 10 seconds and wait for it to restart and then swap the Apple TV output to TV and back to HomePods. But now it won’t work properly anymore. I have tried everything and it is doing my nut in. I ungrouped them, and then created a stereo pair again. No luck. I factory reset them both and set them up with the Apple TV but still the same. Does anyone have any ideas?
