changing airplay speakers doesn't work, also photostream

I have a network of airplay speakers that work perfectly all over my house from my iPhone and mac perfectly. I was playing around with my newest generation Apple TV 1080P, and while it finds all of the rooms, when I select another room no sound comes out. I am very confused. Also, I noticed that my photostream has not updated in a while. I restarted the Apple TV and it added another 50 photos or so, but still 100 short of the photos I had updated.

Then this function in Airplay settings is completely useless. It's just a screen. What is the point of being able to select a different room through the AppleTV (with a checkmark), and nothing happens? It was one of the touted features of the latest update for the AppleTV.

Here is the note from Apple TV Support Section. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5517

Changing AirPlay speakers

You can use AirPlay to play music or other audio content on the Apple TV on other AirPlay speakers.
