Airplay unable to connect to honepod. You can switch to TV Speakers in Settings

Since the tvos15 got installed on the new apple 4k tv. I get the error:

Airplay unable to connect to honepod. You can switch to TV Speakers in Settings

i have the new apple 4k tv, a pair of homepod minis. They are both on the same room in the home app. Im not sure what do so or why no audio will work at all when the default audio is selected to use the homepod mini pair. the pair of homepod mini speakers only work if I set the default audio to my tv. Then use the airplay icon in the side menu to select the homepod pair.

Try these steps in the order listed:

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

See if that helps.

Make sure also, everything is on the same wifi network, signed in with the same Apple ID and all software is up to date. This applies to the Apple TV, HomePods and the iOS version device you set up HomePods with
