    AirPlay to Stereo Paired HomePods

    So, I thought that Catalina was supposed to bring AirPlay 2 support to MacOS. Yet, when I look at audio outputs from my iMac, I only see one of my paired HomePods. Am I missing something obvious?

    iPhone 7/Plus Streaming 4K HDR content through iPhone 7

    I have several iTunes movies available in 4K HDR, however I don’t have a screen to play them on. My friends have a 4K tv which will be getting the Airplay 2 update. So while I know my iPhone 7 can’t play 4K HDR movies, I was wondering if it’d be possible to Airplay them to my friend’s tv. Does...

    HomePod For those with TVs that support Airplay 2, can you use your HomePod as a tv speaker?

    Extremely curious to see how (or if) this is handled. I'm aware the Apple TV can play audio to HomePod so it seemed reasonable that newly supporting TV's might as well.

    iPhone XS AirPlay 2 with existing stereo?

    I've just bought a new Denon (CD and DAB (Satellite) receiver) and currently stream using an old AirPort Express which is not of course AirPlay 2 compatible. What's my best (and cheapest )option for adding AirPlay 2 to existing equipment? Can I output via an Apple TV to a stereo? I don't want...

    HomePod or pair of Sonos Ones

    My First MacRumors poll, apologies if someone posted similar. In the UK you can get a HomePod for £300 a Sonos One costs £199, there was an offer for 2 Ones for £360 but couldn’t find that offer any more. No way I can afford £600 for a stereo and if I’m honest I can’t afford £400. If cost wasn’t...

    iPhone 6(S)/Plus iPhone streaming to airplay-2-speakers but missing multiroom option

    Problem: iPhone 6 (full updated) can connect to one set of speakers only - not multiroom as expected with new airplay2. Speakers in house is actually working as multiroom, when music is streamed from a MacBookPro. The iPhone sees the same speakers as MBP and can connect to them independently...

    Home AirPlay 2 'hubs' vs AirPlay 2 'clients'

    (This is a slightly modified cross-post from the AirPort Express AirPlay 2 news thread.) I don't know about everyone else, but it's taken me a while to fully piece together what the AirPlay 2 ecosystem can really do and how we're supposed to use it. The promise of AirPlay 2 is multi-room...

    HomeKit AirPlay 2 Over HomeKit Doesn't Reach Multiple Speakers

    So, I have my Apple TV (4th gen) set up in HomeKit in my living room. Then I have my old Airport Express set up with some speakers plugged in in the dining room. When I say, "Hey, Siri, play Bruce Springsteen on all speakers," music comes out of the dining room speaker, but not the Apple TV...

    iPhone Airplay Dropouts to 11.4.1 HomePod?

    Have Public Beta 5 installed on my iPhone X. 11.4.1 on my HomePod (since no PB there). My question: Is anyone else experiencing random Airplay 2 audio dropouts on the HomePod in a similar setup? For me, in different apps, the audio will just go silent for a few seconds and come back. No...

    HomePod Sonos and HomePods latency issue with AirPlay 2

    I was extremely excited to update my Sonos system today after I read that the new 9.0 update was bringing AirPlay to Sonos finally! I currently own two Ones, two Play:1s, a Playbar, a Sub, and three HomePods. This update meant I could finally use my HomePods and Sonos system as one, cohesive...

    HomePod Can you AirPlay audio to a Stereo Homepod pair from Mac by putting an Apple TV in-between?

    Ok so since I don't have an Apple TV myself, I'd like to ask if someone with an Apple TV and two (or even just one) HomePod can confirm whether or not the following is possible. I know that you can stream audio to a Stereo HomePod pair from an Apple TV 4th and 5th generation via AirPlay 2, and...

    iOS 11.4 AirPlay to AirPort Express disconnects constantly

    Anybody else seeing iOS devices automatically disconnect AirPlay audio from their AirPort Express on their own? Ever since the 11.4 update, it stays connected to the AEBS while audio is playing, but if leave it for 10 minutes after it stops, and it defaults back to playing through the iPad's...

    Airplay 2

    Airplay 2 has introduced multiroom streaming and some better (read more stable) streaming, hopefully resulting in fewer dropouts etc. All this multiroom stuff is nice of course, but nowhere have I seen any tech specs on Airplay 2, what I am interested in is if the quality of the audio format...
