deafaut output speakers for apple TV

I would much much apreciate if i could setup the default speaker for my 4K apple TV my external Bang & Olufsen Beoplay A9 . Is really stupid all the time when i open apple TV ( linked with an LG TV) to setup the speaker to my B&O external speaker ( i need to spend about 30 seconds all the time when tv is opened, to go to menu , to choose external speaker instead of default apple ones bla bla) , there is no option in apple TV to choose a default speaker other then TV or ( not sure , homepod), is it any logic for us the users to do that daily instead of having the option to choose a default speaker other the apple tv or homepod ? is it any chance to change this in the future ? or please , Apple, produse speakers as goos and the b&o ones and then i would have no problem..

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 15

A TV or external speaker connected to it will automatically be set as default. It is only when using HomePod that you have the choice to set as default.


When setting up HomePod as default it is no longer using airplay and has a specific direct connection that is only made possible via the feature built into TVOS. 3rd party speakers can only use airplay and cannot take advantage of features that are specific to Apple hardware.
