Youtube App doesn't play sound on Apple TV 4K

When I play videos on the Youtube app (via Yamaha soundbar output) on an Apple TV 4K box, the sound always stops after several seconds. I don't have this problem with Netflix, Disney and other apps on the same device. Any idea how to fix this?

Update your Apple TV system software to the current version, if not done already. How to update your Apple TV - Apple Support


Try this for any misbehaving app:


Else please test without the soundbar temporarily. Does the app play audio over TV speakers then? That might help determine where the problem lies.
