    Big Sur 12.4 M1 Music not Connecting to HomePods

    My Intel systems connect fine. The Music app on my M1 connects and the domes light, but there is no sound. I had the same issue with the Monterey beta. Restarting HomePods has no impact as is tapping the volume in case that is set too low. This is with ALL my HomePods - two stereo pairs each of...

    Yesterday, for some unknown reason, my paired HomePods decided to not go to sleep. By this I mean that the -/+ lights are staying on perpetually. They are running 14.6. They are running as the default speakers of my Apple TV, which is set as the ARC audio of my TV. The set up is relatively new...

    How Does a HomePods Surround Sound System Compare?

    Curious how a (two) HomePods setup compares to a good soundbar (like the Bose “TV Speaker” soundbar). I know the HomePod Mini doesn’t support Atmos, but with a high vaulted ceiling, I don’t benefit from Atmos anyway. Also curious about the base if anyone has experience.

    AirPlay from Wired Ethernet Connection, No WiFi

    Hi folks- I spent awhile trying to figure out issues with sending audio from my Music app on Big Sur to my HomePods. I'm posting this just to add to the list of troubleshooting steps, as I couldn't find the resolution anywhere (just in case anyone needs this). :) Story: My MacPro 5,1 Westmere...

    2 OG HomePods or AirPods Pro for best Atmos experience?

    I’m aware of the fact that Apple discontinued the OG HomePod and is now fully promoting the HomePod minis. I just wanted to ask you guys for advice. Do you guys think it’s still worth buying the OG HomePod? If I do buy a set, will they give an impressive full immersive experience? Are they...

    Issues with personal update on HomePod since 14.5?

    My HomePods haven’t been able to give me my personal update anymore since updating them to 14.5. I’m in Germany, and both of my HomePod minis just keep telling me there is a problem with the connection and that I should check if the HomePod is in the same WiFi as my iPhone. Everything else works...

    HomeKit “It seems that you are not home” 14.5

    Ever since updating to 14.5 I can’t seem to say ‘goodnight’ to Siri, as it always accuses me of not being at home… I have a scene named “goodnight” and this used to reliably switch off all my HomeKit devices. Now I get this message and selecting yes just shows an error. This occurs on any iOS...

    HomePod Odd behavior from full sized HomePod stereo pair

    Odd behavior... I have a full sized HomePod stereo pair in 1 room, another full sized single HomePod upstairs, and a HomePod Mini. Since the latest OS update (was it TVOS 14.5??), the full sized stereo pair has gotten annoyingly quirky. Now, if I tell the full sized pair to play 'everywhere'...
