The original poster, known as mongobongo, initiated a discussion on May 1, 2007, on MacRumors regarding the new Home architecture in the 16.4 beta. They inquired if, with this update, it became possible to set third-party AirPlay speakers as the default audio output for the Apple TV, rather than being limited to only HomePods.
As the conversation progressed, on March 31, 2023, mongobongo followed up, asking if anyone had insights on the 16.4 version now that it had been officially released. This prompted responses from other users, including a newcomer named bcadou, who expressed interest in hearing more about the situation.
On June 15, 2023, mongobongo sought further updates related to iOS 16.5 or the iOS 17 beta. However, by June 26, a member named nikhilnagaraj24 confirmed that setting third-party AirPlay speakers as the default output was still not possible.
Mongobongo then asked for clarification regarding which iOS version nikhilnagaraj24 was referencing. Fast forward to the latest update, where mongobongo announced that finally, there was progress, stating, “Took a while but finally this is happening!
tvOS 26 let’s go!” This reflects an exciting development in the ongoing discussion about AirPlay functionality and the evolving capabilities of Apple’s operating systems.
It seems that users are eagerly awaiting to see how these updates will enhance their audio experiences with Apple TV.
