Samsung soundbar Apple home connection issues

Hi,

After IOS update to 17.4 I cannot add Samsung soundbar HW-Q990C to Home app. It is visible through add accessories/nearby, but there is an error message “Unable to connect to speaker”, “make sure that your iPhone is connected to Wi-Fi”.

I can play music via Airplay now, however in March it was working ok, then after iOS update it didn’t and after another update it started working again.

Situation via iPhone 17.4.1 through Apple TV 17.4 Hub

All devices are connected to same network

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 17

Strange problem Apple Music not finding Sonos speaker via airplay I have a really strange problem where my Iphone after iOS 14.2 can't find my Sonos speakers in Airplay. If I use the Sonos app on my IPhone it connects to these speakers no problem but if I open Apple Music and go to the Airplay icon at the bottom of the screen it is only showing my Apple TV? To make matters more confusing I can connect to the speakers no problem on my iPad by tapping the AirPlay icon. It only seems to be a problem on my IPhone? All was working fine until recently and I'm unsure if its maybe to do with the latest OS update? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated.

Airplay 2 to Apple TV - volume greyed out on iPhone I have 2 x Apple TV’s 4th gen and an AirPlay express and have been using them with AirPlay 2 and my iPhone XR for multi room audio. However, on one of the Apple TV’s, if I am on the same wi fi network as the Apple TV, when I stream music to it, the volume slider on my iPhone is greyed our and there is no way to control the volume. If I change network (to 4g, so not the same network as the Apple TV) the volume slider comes back onto my iPhone and I can control the volume. Obviously the downside of being in 4g is that I can no longer do multi room. It only happens on 1 Apple TV. The other Apple TV and the airport express both have the volume control slider available on my iPhone when on the same network as my iPhone. I’m going to try resetting the Apple TV later to see if that helps, but any guidance would be appreciated.

It’s screen on iPhone does not have airplay icon but I can usually call up control centre and click on the ‘broadcast’ lines in the corner. However, now when I do it I just get audio. No video.
