I’m still having this problem. I wonder if my problem is related to this thread. I only have this issue when playing on the Apple TV that uses the paired HomePods. If I use the Apple TV that uses my HDMI connected Sony speakers I don’t have the problem. Both Apple TVs are running Apple TVOS 17.3 and Plex Player Version 8.31. The only difference is where the audio output goes. If you want to test by turning on the old audio engine, go to your settings and scroll way down. Under the Advanced section there’s a setting called Use Old Audio Engine. I have this turned on for the Apple TV that uses the paired HomePods.
