Apple’s latest tvOS 26 update has unlocked a game-changing feature for music lovers: you can now set any AirPlay-compatible speaker as your permanent default output on Apple TV.
For years, this convenience was limited to HomePods—but now it extends to all AirPlay speakers, including your Lithe Audio speakers.
Set It Once, Enjoy Forever
Your Lithe Audio speakers can now be saved as the default output on Apple TV. No more reconnecting each time—you’ll always have room-filling sound ready to go.
Seamless Streaming
Whether you’re watching films, gaming, or listening to Apple Music, your Lithe Audio system becomes the heart of your entertainment setup.
Home Cinema Simplified
With your Apple TV remembering your preferred speaker setup, every movie night or sports match kicks off with crystal-clear audio instantly—no setup delays.
Expanding Choice
This change makes Apple TV far more flexible, letting you pair it with professional-grade AirPlay speakers like Lithe Audio for installations in living rooms, media rooms, or even commercial spaces.
At Lithe Audio, we’ve always designed our speakers to be at the forefront of smart home audio. With tvOS 26, Apple has made it even easier for customers to unlock the full potential of their Lithe Audio AirPlay system.
This is not just a software update—it’s a major usability improvement that ensures our speakers deliver a seamless, cinema-quality experience every time you switch on your Apple TV.
In short: With tvOS 26, Apple TV now remembers your Lithe Audio speakers as the permanent audio output. That means less hassle, more enjoyment, and sound that’s always ready when you are.
