After recent tvOS update HomePod pair doesn't stay connected. I have a LG TV with a soundbar connected. Also a HomePod pair. Prior to the recent (Jan23) tvOS update I had sound playing through the HomePods. Now if I select HomePod it stays connected for a few minutes and then want to revert the TV speakers. Even worse it plays through both the TV and soundbar with a slight annoying delay. Previously I had to disconnect the AppleTV from the internet and connect via wifi only. Reconnecting continued to work as expected. Playing through both the TV speakers and the soundbar is new. Any suggestions?

Close the youtube app and restart Apple tv.

Restart HomePod also; You can do this in the home app or by unplugging for 10 seconds.

Also make sure all software is up to date on 16.4
