AirPod Pro Spatial Audio Choppy Sound Problem

Use my AirPod Pros to view Fox Nation programming without disturbing the family during early morning sessions (Yeah, gasp, Snowflakes. I am a tech savvy conservative!) with my 4K Apple TV.

Anyway, noticed the audio becomes increasingly choppy and eventually cuts out. Needed to repeatedly pause video streaming to ‘reset’ the audio. This morning I realized a talk show gains nothing from spatial audio, i.e., Fox Nation probably doesn’t support it.

Turned off the feature and audio cleared up.

HomePod Stereo Pairs as default audio for AppleTV4K experiencing volume fluctuations while watching content. It seems that something in a recent update may have changed how stereo pair HomePod setups are handling their audio streams resulting in the audio volume getting suddenly quieter for a few minutes, then jumping back to a louder volume, rinsing and repeating over and over to the point where watching anything is becoming obnoxious. I haven’t changed anything in my set-up and have restored some of the devices, but this issue is affecting all three of the Apple TV 4K with Stereo Paired HomePod (full size and minis) in our home. The audio problems are happening with content being played on the AppleTV (it’s system-wide, affecting all apps I stream content through). I was thinking it might have something to do with the surround/Atmos options with the Stereo Pair having issues handling the channels correctly, but those options are all completely locked in the settings app, so my ability to troubleshoot is very limited. I would rather have consistent audio than a surround sound experience, so if there is any way to disable this for video content on the Apple TV + HomePod pairs, that would be great. I welcome any other troubleshooting tips you may have.

Homepod 2 volume won't decrease all the way I have a Homepod stereo pair in the living room with an Apple TV 4K (3rd Gen) but the volume won't decrease all the way with the remote. When we press the volume down button on the remote the volume bar appears and we can decrease the volume until the bar is empty but there's still very audible noise coming from the speakers. What can we do to adjust this so that we have better control of the volume? All devices are currently up to date (16.6).

AppleTV with Stereo HomePod mini's - audio mutes sporadically Apple TV 4K with two HomePod mini sporadically drops audio while TV video continues to play. A small rewind using remote demonstrates that the audio can play properly for that section of content. Issues occurs across multiple apps. YouTubeTV, Paramount+ and others. All SW is latest public released (non-beta) version. Now is this resolved?
