Q: How to use audio only AirPlay on iOS10?

HI guys, maybe I am really dumb, but I cannot find how to use music stream after upgrade.

 

Usecase:

 

- listening to music via headphones on my way home

- when reached home turned on stereo and enable AirPlay

 

iOS9 - bottom menu slide - AirPlay - Audio sent to Apple TV and stereo playing music (took about 3 seconds)

iOS10 - bottom menu slide - AirPlay - there is only enable AirPlay with mirroring. Which is causing to turn on my TV automatically and also phone is drained and you know - I want to use phone no stream everything to TV.  (Spent 10 minutes and can not find how to do this)

 

Any hints?

    Hello Tomas Vrabec,

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. Based on the information you've provided, it sounds like you're unable to use AirPlay to play content only mirroring after updating to iOS 10. I can surely understand your concern, especially since it was working as you needed on the previous software version. I am happy to help.

    It sounds like you're taking the correct steps. First, I recommend restarting. This can resolve many unexpected errors. Use the restart steps below if needed.

    1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the red slider appears.
    2. Drag the slider to turn your device completely off.
    3. After the device turns off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button again until you see the Apple logo

    Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

    If the issue persists, please use the steps and images in the link below for further troubleshooting information:

    The specialist was not very helpful, so I found the solution for that problem.
    The new control center contains of 2 pages.
    The first screen only allows Connections to Apple TV devices.


    The trick is to swipe to the right panel (the Audio Control Center), there find another Airplay Button that still lists your "audio only" airplay devices (like my Denon Receiver)
