Home Pod not connecting to Apple TV

At one time my Apple tv was synced to my Home Pod and I could listen to programs through the Home Pod. One day it would not connect. I have tried resetting the Home Pod and verified that they are both on the same network. In the settings for the Apple TV, under audio, it shows the Home Pod but will not connect. How chan I get them to sync again.

HomePod, iOS 12

I can’t connect my Apple TV to home pod Whatever I do, I can’t see both my HomePod and Apple TV under the Home app. There’s only HomePod that appears. I tried everything I could find online. They’re both on the same network, logged in to the same account. My goal is to use the HomePod as an Apple TV Speaker.

Apple TV will not stay synched with Home Pods via AirPlay 2 My Home Pods will not stay synched with my Apple TV 2nd Gen 1080p. It happens with Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and Prime. Sometimes I can binge watch for hours on end with no problems. Other times the audio will drop out mid-movie. Then I have to unplug my Home Pods and / or TV before they'll see each other again. I won't claim to be an expert but I'm not exactly a novice. I have tried restoring and updating the TV, resetting the Home Pods, and changing device and Room names. Sometimes the Home Pods will still appear to be available (under Apple TV as an option in AirPlay using TV OS) but will not connect to the TV to play audio. Sometimes they will be appear in AirPlay on TV OS to the right of Apple TV but do not appear under Apple TV. The last few days I've had to unplug the silly things after roughly an hour and a half of run time. I have 3 total (a stereo pair in the living room and one in the kitchen so I can hear while I cook). I think they're fantastic but this is frustrating. Bonus: It seems like if I speak to Siri to play music or ask a question, I may as well unplug them because they won't be available when I go to watch something. Bonus #2: Sometimes I can use my iPhone or my iMac to reconnect them but it doesn't always work. Bonus #3: I think I set my iPad up as a Home Hub when I first got the TV but have never used it to control anything Home-related. Help?
