Hi, You’ll also notice when in the Music app, within the AirPlay section, that you can control other devices too. So, if your HomePods were playing music in another room, under the Control Other Devices section, you will see that the HomePods are playing and what they are playing. VO-space on that item and your controls within the Music app will now be controlling the music on the HomePods.
Also, the benefit of this method in comparison to selecting through the Sound pane of System Prefs is latency. I’ve heard from my sighted family that when watching movies or TV shows, if we select the sound path via System Prefs, the mouths don’t properly move with what they are saying. This is fine for me, as I don’t see their mouths moving, but drives the sighted folks crazy. Now, I don’t mind driving them crazy sometimes, but they might start moving the furniture around on me if I’m not nice to them.
