Shortcuts for Switching Audio Outputs on Apple TV
Do you often
binge-watch your favorite TV shows late in the night? Do your housemates get
bothered with the TV volume? Well, watching films and shows with the volume set
to minimum or mute lowers the viewing experience. Well if you have AirPods,
then you can just hook them up with your Apple TV. Are you excited after
learning this? Hold on! The process to connect AirPods to your Apple TV needs
you to dig into the Apple TV menu. But, thankfully, with the help of the Siri
Remote shortcut, you can easily switch outputs.
How
to quickly change audio outputs on Apple TV?
Apple TV comes with a handy shortcut for switching audio
outputs. You need to go to the Apple TV’s home screen and long press the Play
or Pause button located in the TV’s remote. Now, a pane containing a list
of all the available AirPlay devices will appear. Owing to the wizardry of
Apple’s integration, AirPods will be listed on the menu even when they use
Bluetooth rather than Wi-Fi.
Using
Siri
You can also change audio outputs by using Siri. Just activate
Siri and say Audio Settings within the hearing range. Now, the Audio Output
will open and then you can easily select the output using the remote. However,
it will launch the audio settings screen accessed the last time. Therefore,
some screen deep within the Settings app may launch in the place of the Audio
Output screen. However, if you have recently changed the audio outputs, then
you can use the Siri command.
AirPods
and HomePod
Since AirPods are linked to an Apple ID, they get automatically
paired to all devices that are signed into the same Apple ID. Therefore, all of
your iPhones, iPads, Macs, and Apple TV using the same Apple ID will be linked
to your AirPods.
If you have a HomePod, then just go to audio output settings,
and select HomePod.
