I can’t set my HomePod minis as the default Audio Output Hello, i recently bought 2 HomePod Mini's for my Apple TV but somehow i am not able to set them as default audio output. They are paired as stereo speakers. Navigation sounds (even while activated) are also not playing. Is this something only working with the latest Apple TV 4k? I do have the 4th generation HD (A1625). I also tried to set the default audio device through HomeKit on my iPhone but there is no such option. Going under settings for Audio on the Apple TV it self it only says "TV speakers" on default but i can't change it to the HomePod's. I am running the latest software on all devices. I restarted them several times too.

How do you setup the HomePod mini as default speakers on the Apple TV 4K when it doesn’t automatically show up as an option in the settings? I don’t get the option to automatically select the HomePod mini paired set to use as default speakers on my Apple TV 4K. Do you know how to do this, when the option doesn’t automatically show up or the Apple TV doesn’t recognize it on the audio settings?

HomePod not showing up in default audio output appleTV 4K In my Apple TV audio settings, I am unable to see my HomePod Mini as an option to set as my default audio output. Both the Apple TV 4K and HomePod Mini are running the last Software 14.3, and both are located in the same room and connected to the same WiFi network.

The Default Audio Output option is only available with Apple TV 4K and original HomePod. You can AirPlay to HomePod mini. See Use AirPlay to stream audio - Apple Support.
