Q: Apple TV has to be manually turned on to airplay iTunes

I recently moved and something has changed that has me baffled. It used to be that when I wanted to play music through my stereo connected to the Apple TV that all I had to do was open up iTunes on the MacBook Pro and hit the play button, and the Apple TV would turn itself on. Now, I have to manually turn it on with the remote, and then--even though the Apple TV IS selected as the speakers--no sound comes through until I reselect it again. So, music playback went from a two-step process (turn on the stereo, hit "play" in iTunes), to a four-step process. What gives?

Apple TV (3rd generation), iOS 8.2
