Homepod Delay Causing Stutter in Beginning

When playing via Infuse, there’s a second or two delay with the stereo homepods setup connected and it causes a stutter in the beginning of the playback as the audio tries to sync up. When I play via Plex, the homepods play seamless and there is no stutter.

When I change the audio output to the tv speakers or by bluetooth using the beats pill as a test, it plays seamless like the Plex playback. I’ve tested this on both the LG C5 and Samsung M7 monitor and the same occurs - the issue seems to be caused homepods.

Although this only affects the beginning of the playback in Infuse, is there a fix for this?

I have attached a link to the video as an example.

Currently using:
Infuse - 8.1.9
Apple TV - 18.5
Match Dynamic Range and Match Frame Rate: On
