ATV autoplay through Airplay2 instead of HDMI

Question

Hi, I'm using an AppleTV 4K and a Beam connected to my TVs HDMI ARC. When I start my Apple TV it choose to play the sound on Airplay 2 in on my Sonos One in the kitchen instead of just playing through HDMI. I've chosen HDMI as the default output on my ATV. Anyone got any sugestions?
