TTS to AirPlay not working

I am trying to setup TTS (text to speech) to play on my Apple TV 4th Gen. I can verify the .mp3 file is generated correctly and in the tts folder, but the file doesn’t play any audio on my Apple TV. The screen blanks for several seconds like it is trying to play a file, but no sound. The time it blanks out is probably 10-15 seconds even though the .mp3 file is only about 2 seconds. I am not seeing any error messages in the home-assistant.log file or hass.io supervisor logs. How do I start to troubleshoot or fix this problem?
