Can you suggest any workarounds?

I feel your pain...but I can't help commenting that this is really on Apple, who, for whatever reason, have not implemented their proprietary AirPlay 2 protocol in their proprietary iTunes for Windows product (at least for Win10; I have no knowledge of Win11 or associated products)
The open-source shairport sync devs have managed (mostly) to reverse engineer the proprietary AirPlay and AirPlay 2 protocols and state explicitly in their docs that
Quote:Shairport Sync can be built as an AirPlay 2 player (with some limitations) or as "classic" Shairport Sync – a player for the older, but still supported, AirPlay (aka "AirPlay 1") protocol.
Note the "or".
Sadly, trying to support both AirPlay and AirPlay 2 in moOde using shairport sync (e.g., turning that "or" into "and/or") has gotten to be too fiddly.
Maybe Apple's iTunes app for Windows 11 will support AirPlay 2. I'm unlikely to get Windows 11 any time soon so someone else will have to chime in.
