Using ipad speakers in stage manager

Has anyone figured out how to use the ipad speakers with stage manager? My external monitor does not have speakers, and I don’t want to wear headphones. Seems odd that the monitor is the default for sound and not the ipad with 4 speakers…..

iPad Pro, 12.9-inch, 6th Gen, Wi-Fi

Audio output in Stage Manager mode Why can't I leave audio playback on my iPad while connecting an external monitor? My monitor does not have built-in speakers, does not have a 3.5 mm connector, and even HomePod Mini does not support AirPlay playback mode. My hands are tied. Will there ever be an option to leave sound playback on the iPad while it is connected to an external monitor in stage manager mode?

how to change audio output when using stage manager. I recently got my Ipad Air 5 and got a dongle to connect it to the monitor. However on doing so it sets the audio output to the Monitor which only has an audio out port but no speaker. I am connected to a bluetooth speaker however it doesnt route audio that way. Is it possible to do so?

My external monitor does not have speakers, so I expected the sound to play at the iPad, but no; the iPad does not reproduce any sound, and this is very frustrating.

When connecting your iPad to an external monitor via HDMI, both video and audio are automatically routed to the monitor - as is common with any HDMI signal source.
