    HomePod Nintendo Switch + HomePods

    I have a stereo pair of HomePod minis and 1 HomePod gen 1 that I would be interested in using with my Nintendo Switch. I know natively the switch does not utilize airplay, but certain TVs now have airplay. The tv I’m looking at buying is the TCL 40SF54 which does have airplay. So if I connect...

    Battery life with earbuds connected

    I use Beats Studio Buds+. When wearing my Series 9, I noticed that I can either connect directly to the earbuds by Airplay from the watch or control my iPhone as another device with the earbuds connected to the iPhone. Is there a difference in battery life for the Apple Watch when doing that...

    Apple TV 4K + HomePod pair: stream TV and play music simultaneously

Currently, it pauses the video feed on the TV and the audio (with graphics) takes over. I don't mind there being no...

    iPadOS 17.2 Beta AirPlay Receiver Setting

    So, in the iPadOS 17.2 Beta, there’s a new setting for “AirPlay Receiver”. Underneath in little print, it says “stream or share content from Apple Vision Pro to your iPad.” Does this mean that the AirPlay Receiver function only works between a Vision Pro and the iPad? Or does this also work...

    Was there a UI change to the airplay icon in control centre?

    Just updated to ios 17 yesterday. I was fixing my settings for control centre, and noticed that the airplay icon has a faint white circle situated as kind of a background of the icon. Was that always there or is that a change? I thought it might mean I'd enabled it accidentally, but I always...

    AirPlay - iPad + HomePod simultaneously?

    I'm using AirPlay to to stream some music from my iPad to 2 HomePods in two separate rooms in the house. I would like to still have the audio come from the iPad itself as well, so that it's coming from 3 simultaneous sources instead of 2. I can't seem to find a way to do this: when I select the...

    Sonos Beam and Apple TV, yay or nay?

    I'm looking to add a sound bar for a projector and Apple TV HD setup. I don't want any wires running to the Beam so the idea of just using AirPlay to send the audio is appealing to me however I can't seem to find reliable information on how well this would work and what audio formats it would...

    Apple Fitness Airplay

    I know when streaming video and audio content from an iOS device to an Apple TV via AirPlay. Depend on the sources, it might be a local wifi tranmission of the content form the iOS device to the Apple TV (like local videos and photos on iPhone Photo app), or a direct streaming over the internet...

    HomePod Why is airplay on HomePods so bad!?

    Like seriously I use my 5 HomePods daily and I’m usually telling them what to play from my phone and selecting where to play and I’d say 80% of the time one, or multiple HomePods never start playing , lock up entirely, or lately, play music out of sync with the others. It gets so annoying that...

    Playing ripped music files from my iPhone to an AirPort Express, the connection to the AEX always reverts to the phone if I pause for a few minutes. Auto lock is off on the iPhone. Any way to select an Airplay device and have it stay there, even if I pause?

    Apple Music Does Sound Check work over Airplay?

    For a few years now it feels like local music files streamed over Airplay 2 do not use Sound Check to even out the volume levels. I switched to Airfoil a while back, which seems to totally resolve the issue, but just tried Airplay again and volume levels are all over the place. Sound Check over...
