Muti-room airplay audio no longer working

Muti-room airplay quit working from my iMac around the time Apple enabled Hi Res and Spatial audio. I have 2 HomePods in different rooms (non paired) and 2 Airport express receivers connected to amplifier/speaker arrangements. All devices are running the latest revisions. This environment did not come about immediately following updates but some time later when the new enhancements were put into effect! All my airplay2 devices appear upon clicking on the Airplay icon but upon selecting the additional device, no sound plays through any speakers even though the time is moving on the playback until I select the computer speakers only again. Please help! Extremely puzzled?

iMac 27″ 5K, macOS 11.4

See: If screen mirroring or streaming isn't working on your AirPlay-compatible device - Apple Support

Close the app you’re using on the Mac and restart the Mac
Reboot your wifi
Restart the HomePods:

Open the Home App - go to the Room it’s in

Long press on the HomePod icon to bring up settings, scroll down to the gear icon, tap that, scroll to the bottom to Reset HomePod - then select Restart HomePod

Or you can do this on your Mac
