    HomePod Distortion on some bass-heavy tracks on several HomePods.

    Hi, New HomePod user here (from Europe). I noticed thanks to the compulsory Massive Attack's Angel bass test that my HomePod had a noticeable distortion when the heavy, low frequency beat hits. This is most noticeable from 6:00 to the end, where the beat can be easily isolated, when putting my...

    iPhone GarageBand for iOS to HomePod

    GarageBand for iOS was once able to go to HomePod via Airplay. Now it doesn't seem to work, except for music for the iPhone. Has anyone successfully been able to send their GarageBand for iOS audio to a HomePod? Jacques PS - this worked fine before 11.4

    HomePod Apple TV always starts

    Hello all I have been having an issue with HomePod. Every time I ask it to play something it starts the Apple TV. Both the HomPod and Apple TV are in the same room. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I could stop the tv from starting when asking the HomePod to start playing songs?

    HomePod HomePod Disconnects all the time

    For some reason, when I am using airplay2 from my iPhone to HomePod, ANY incoming text message or email will stop the HomePod from playing. With texts there is a notification popup and it cancels, and I do not use notifications for emails and it also stops playing. It gets annoying, I cannot get...

    HomePod HomePod :: "I'm having trouble connecting to the internet!"

    I didn't have any major issues with my HomePod until I updated to 11.3. After leaving the house for a few hours, the HomePod will randomly respond to me with the phrase "I'm having trouble connecting to the internet!" after any "Hey, Siri..." commands. I could power cycle the HomePod to fix this...

    I updated all my idevices last night including my two homepods. I'm enjoying having multi room audio. However, I also have two Apple TVs that were added to the Home app on my phone. When I tell Siri to "play <whatever> playlist" everywhere, both of my TVs turn on and have four digit codes on...

    HomePod Thank You Apple for the HomePod

    I want to publicly thank Apple for giving me multi-speaker audio via Airplay 2. Trying to get the the same audio to play in multiple rooms simultaneously has been a 20-year struggle for me. I started with US Robotics FM transmitter / receivers distributing audio from my PC's sound card to the...

    HomePod Using HomePod & Alexa

    Any body using HomePod and Alexa together? I have the HomePod but am disappointed with the slow roll out of its abilities. Considering adding an Alexa unit that would be easier for the wife to use. Any body using both in the same household? Any issues? Thanks

    HomePod ~0.5 second of additional delay when using HomePod from my iMac – any way around this issue?

    Now first of all, I know that AirPlay 1 has about 2 seconds of delay, and this is not the delay I'm talking about here. Usually when you stream from a Mac or iOS device to an AirPlay receiver, the OS will account for these two seconds and delay the video playback accordingly so that they are in...

    HomePod May have stubbled upon Siri's problem...

    We recently got a HomePod and have been enjoying it for music and operating some HomeKit switches in the house. I have noticed that occasionally Siri will not be able to complete a task I have requested, responding that she was unable to find a component, etc. If I then make the same request...

    HomePod 'Hey Siri, Volume Up!'

    On my HomePod, I listen to playlists containing multiple artists. The originals come from many sources, CDs, purchases on Apple & Amazon, etc. They have different volume levels, as is to be expected. Now, I’d think the iCloud Music Library and the HomePod computer would be smart enough to...

    HomePod HomePod randomly pauses songs

    I just got a HomePod a few days ago, and while I love the sound (no problem with reduced bass on 11.3), it sometimes pauses songs randomly when played from a playlist. This happens at the beginning of a song, after 1 or 2 seconds, and when I say “hey Siri, play”, it will continue from where it...
