I have an Apple TV 4K and use a stereo pair of Sonos Ones for audio via Airplay 2. Problem is, the audio output on the Apple TV never stays set to the Sonos, so I always have to manually switch it back via the control center, which is quite cumbersome when you have to do it constantly. What I’m looking for is a shortcut that would allow me to tell the ATV to switch its audio output to that group of Sonos speakers to avoid needing to do this every time. I’m running the iOS 14 beta, which does have several more options for controlling the Apple TV, but I still do not see a way to do this. Do any of you Shortcuts wizards know of a way to do this?
Question
Is there a Siri Shortcut to switch audio from an Apple TV to Sonos speakers via Airplay?

Welcome, thank you for reaching out to Sonos Community.
I know you need to do extra steps for you to pair your speakers with ATV.
But like with other wireless devices using Airplay 2 you need to pair your speakers manually with your ATV.
But I'll submit a feature request to our development team. We don't have a timeline we can share for this feature, but we'll be sure to make an announcement if we have any updates
