Disabling airplay in sound preferences mac OS catalina

Hi,
Is there a way to not have airplay devices show up in the sound settings in system preferences? The situation is this. Apparently, my parents have an airplay capable TV upstairs, and when I had to change my sound device, that popped up in the list. I don't have an airplay capable device, nor do I want one. The airplay pop up messed up Dad's game. So is there any way at all that I can disable airplay on my 2018 macbook running catalina?
Thanks,
