Apple TV 4K shuts down when using AirPods

When using AirPods Pro or Pro MAX with my Apple TV 4K, the Apple TV will spontaneously shut down (along with LG display) after about 10-15 minutes. This doesn't happen when sound is directed through the LG display to my Bose soundbar. I can't determine the problem after checking all the settings on the Apple TV and display. Thoughts and/or suggestions?

Very strange, use my Pros regularly with my Apple TV and have never experienced that. Make sure Apple TV is up to date (TVOS 26.1). Reboot. If it persists a do a restore. Beyond that you may need to contact Apple support.
