Q: changing airplay speakers doesn't work, also photostream

I have a network of airplay speakers that work perfectly all over my house from my iPhone and mac perfectly.  I was playing around with my newest generation Apple TV 1080P, and while it finds all of the rooms, when I select another room no sound comes out.  I am very confused.  Also, I noticed that my photostream has not updated in a while.  I restarted the Apple TV and it added another 50 photos or so, but still 100 short of the photos I had updated.

    Then this function in Airplay settings is completely useless.  It's just a screen.  What is the point of being able to select a different room through the AppleTV (with a checkmark), and nothing happens?  It was one of the touted features of the latest update for the AppleTV.

    Changing AirPlay speakers

    You can use AirPlay to play music or other audio content on the Apple TV on other AirPlay speakers.
