Sonos One became invisible in AppleTV AirPlay sound options

Up to yesterday I was able to connect to a pair of Sonos One via Airplay/Wifi (same network) from my AppleTV 4K and used the Ones as Speakers for movie sound - worked fine.

Since of today, the Sonos speakers are not visible any more in AppleTV's "audio and sound" setting.

 

As I have in total 4 Wifi Access Points in the house, I played with them too. The Sonos connects to one, the AppleTV to another. However, all devices are in the same subnet.

I can stream to the Sonos speakers from other Apple devices in the Network via AirPlay without problems.

Any idea? How can I check what could be wrong?

@wgeithner  I found this in another forum. https://en.community.sonos.com/troubleshooting-228999/apple-tv-wont-connect-with-airplay-6847724    Maybe this will work for you. Seems like the iOS update changed some stuff

@Mkringl1 : Thanks for the link! this solved my problem! As it seems, an update by Apple changed the user interface for the coupling of Airplay devices - or maybe the option for Couling via the “Menu” was there all the time, but I never used it.

@Smilja: yes I am aware of that. However, one issue in our setup is that the Sonos ARC has only one USB-connector. I guess the design assumption is that you connect the ARC to your TV and you keep it connected all the time. We want to connect the Sonos ARC in a changing environment once TV-Set (where it is no problem), once DLP project, both supplied by an AppleTV. Using the TV-set seems not to be a problem, as it has two HDMI ARC connectors. In the projector environment, the projector has only one output connector so I do not see an option to connect the projector and the AppleTV at the same time. There we need Airplay definitely, even knowing that this is a second best solution.
