Use Apple TV to play audio throughout your home
You can send audio from Apple TV to one or more AirPlay-enabled devices (such as HomePod and other smart speakers and TVs) connected to the same network in your home. You can also send audio from AirPlay speakers like HomePod to Apple TV.
Before you start, make sure you’ve set up your devices in the Home app on an iPhone, iPad, or Mac (with macOS Catalina or later). See Set up accessories with Home in the iPhone User Guide.
On Apple TV, do either of the following:
Press and hold

For the best audio quality, choose Receiver Speakers. If you hear an echo or delay in the audio, see Calibrate audio between your wired and wireless speakers.
Adjust the volume of devices in another room: Highlight the volume control for the speaker, then navigate left or right on the remote to adjust the slider, or press
