Strange shortcut automation error with speaker output

Cupertino, November 3, 2021

Hello. I made a HomeKit automation (shortcut) that plays an audio file from my Music app through a Sonos speaker that I added to the HomeKit. I noticed that when I triggered this, it interrupted my Apple TV video and switched the sound to go through the Sonos speaker ... totally random. I could watch the Foundation on Apple TV +, trigger this shortcut and then 1) playback of the video stops; 2) the desired audio file is played through Sonos; 3) when I resume playing the video on Apple TV, I hear it playing through Sonos now instead of normal TV speakers .... I tried to remove the "Adjust speaker volume" option and that didn't help. Why the hell is this happening? Https://homekit.blog.com/link/qm558m/video/nk1ysyxgagx71/player
