When I take out Airpods music begins playing on Apple TV

I usually use AirPods when watching the Apple TV and sometimes when I take them out of my ears, music begins to play. What causes that? And is there anything I can do to keep it from happening? It can happen when I'm on the home screen or even when I'm in an app.

Apple TV HD, tvOS 12

AirPods Max play my music from turned off Apple TV I have an Apple TV and connect my AirPods Max for sound (which is great mostly!) When I put the Max headphones on this morning, they immediately started playing my music. They weren’t connected to my iPad or iPhone, and neither had anything playing. It was from the Apple TV, which was turned off. Confirmed this by checking Now Playing in Music when I turned the Apple TV on. I don’t listen to Music from the TV. How do I stop it from starting up? The Apple TV is up to date on the current tvOS 16.2 (20K5331f). The AirPods are current on firmware. This issue is intermittent and has happened on older tvOS versions. Thanks!

Homepods don't play music after watching Apple TV ( audio Homepods ) Hi After updating all my devices too 15 I have a problem with my HomePods. We watch TV with Apple TV, the audio connectie with Homepods. When we stop watching Apple TV and ask Siri on Homepods to play music, Siri respons with “sorry there was a problem with Apple Music" When I change setting in Apple TV too the TV speakers, the HomePods have no playing music. But this is not what I want offcourse. I tried these steps: Reboot your wifi On the Apple TV in settings - Users Accounts- your name - iCloud- sign out. Change the default audio to tv speakers Restart Apple TV then sign back in. Set up AirPlay & HomeKit again on the ATV Change the default audio back to HomePods No result And other ideas or is it maybe a bug in TVOS 15? Thanks in Advance Harrie

Sound is cut out from Homepod Two homepods (one is mini) are linked to Apple TV. When playing music from YouTube, the homepod mini always cut out and never come back even after the advertising is done.
