I have my Apple TV device, soundbar and HomePod grouped to the Living Room because they’re all in the same room. When I stream music via Airplay to Living Room, it would also turn on my TV. Should I not put my Apple TV device in the same room in the Home app?

 

I have the setup below. How can I play audio from both the soundbar and Homepod on Apple TV?

  • Samsung - 43" Class TU690T
  • Apple TV 4k
  • Bose Soundbar 600
  • HomePod Mini
 

I'm not sure why I bought an Apple TV 4k device when my Samsung TV already has the app. What's the value of have a separate device for Apple TV?

 

I have a Samsung TV with Bose 600 soundbar plugged into the TV’s eARC HDMI port. I have my Apple TV plugged in the TV’s HDMI 2 port and the volume goes through the Apple TV instead of the soundbar. In Apple TV audio settings I can choose TV speakers or HomePod mini for default audio or my Bose soundbar under temporary audio output. When I choose Bose, it still uses the TV speakers for audio and switches back to TV speakers in settings. How do I make Apple TV play through Soundbar? I need soundbar directly connected to TV because I am using HD antenna TV.
