When Apple TV launches I always get a screen to select audio output

My Apple TV (3rd Gen) is connected to a Sonos soundbar via an HDMI cable.


When Apple TV launches I always get a screen to select audio output that shows other devices in my house (that aren’t connected to the TV).


In Settings I have the HDMI set as the output.


Is there anything I can do to stop this screen from always popping up?

The port on the soundbar is for connecting to a TV via HDMI ARC, you can't connect it directly to an Apple TV.
