Hi, Actually, if all you’re doing is playing music or other media, then going through System Preferences is not the best choice. Instead, in the Music app, you’ll find an AirPlay button. All devices that support AirPlay and some Bluetooth devices will be listed there. You can select one or more from there and the music will begin playing through the selected device. VoiceOver will remain going through the Mac speakers.
You can use media volume, or cmd-up/down within the Music app to control volume. One limitation is that for devices that are not HomePods or HomePod Minis, the maximum volume is what the current volume of that device is set to. So, if you want it to be louder, you may need to adjust the volume of that sounc bar etc with it’s remote. This process is also available through the TV app if you wish to push the audio from your movie or TV show over to a sound bar or set of HomePods. HTH.
