I’ve updated the beta version of tvOS twice, the current version is 14.2 beta (18K5057a). After the update, I can’t find my airplay speakers in the audio output option. I just bought a pair of ‘sonos x ikea’ airplay speaker, it worked well under tvOS before, if this issue is permanent, that will be a waste of this purchase....hope Apple can solve it soon. 🤞

This is not an issue. The audio option in settings is now used for setting a default speaker system (before you could see all your airplay speakers here). There is a chance that Apple will make it possible to set any airplay 2 speaker as default.

For now, you can select your sonos speaker through the menu while playing music or a video on the apple tv.

I knew that I can’t set the airplay speakers as default and have to choose them as audio output before I play any video on Apple TV, but at least I can find those speakers in the list, then choose. But now, in the list, I only can see the TV speaker, no others. So this is the change of the tvOS beta version. This is what I mean.

For the other Apple decices, like iPhone and iPad, I still can find and choose airplay speakers.

I just found out that this settings has moved.

To select an AirPlay device, hold down the Home button on the AppleTV remote.

This IS an Issue! Not being able to default speaker like before it’s a BIG problem! You need to do it manually every time you turn on the AppleTV. Before it was set automatically until you changed it, so you could use your speakers as TV speakers, which is the goal here. No you can’t! It worked about a week ago, but not anymore.
