What was the Problem?

In one room, the AppleTV is paired with a HomePod for audio output. If I now connect the iPhone to the AppleTV and HomePod group via AirPlay, the TV is automatically switched on when I start playback under iOS with the ABS-App.

With Plappa, Prologue and Apple Music, for example, I don't have this problem, here only the audio output is started on the HomePod and the TV remains off.

Steps to Reproduce the Issue

  1. Connect the iPhone per Airplay with the group of HomePod & AppleTV
  2. Start a audiobook in ABS-App
  3. See error

What was Expected?

That only the audio is output on the HomePod, the TV remains off.

Phone Model

iPhone 15 Pro

Phone OS

iOS 18.1
