    All Devices AirPlay to HomePod from iPad/iPhone No Longer Plays Just Sound

    I'm not certain if this relates to the firmware on iPadOS/iOS 13 or HomePod, but I used to be able to airplay just audio to my HomePod and watch video on my iPad Pro 11 or iPhone 11 Pro. Now if I use any app: Spectrum, Infuse Pro, Apple TV+, anytime I select one of my HomePod's to play just the...

    HomePod Use HomePod for Audio + Projector for Video

    I'm looking to purchase a hopefully relatively inexpensive projector to play movies in my bedroom, but I'd like to use the HomePod for the audio source.

    HomePod Siri Working VERY Poorly After Update to 13.2.1

    Yes, I didn't update my HomePod to 13.2 and waited for the 13.2.1 which initially seemed to work. Unfortunately, it now seems that my HomePod has lost the ability to respond to many requests. When I ask for the weather it just says, "Sorry, something's wrong. Please try again." When I ask about...

    HomePod On the HomePod, can you play music as a wake-up alarm?

    This wasn't possible under the initial release nearly two years ago, it was still missing in the iOS 12 update, and now that we have iOS 13 is this STILL not possible? What I want is a way to say, "Hey Siri, play my Morning Playlist at 7:15AM." Interestingly enough, my $30 Google Mini can do...

    So I had 13.2 pop up in the Home app for my HomePod and I went to update on Monday evening (central time) around 8pm or so. The update never progressed and just said "update requested". I left it then read about the brick issues etc and decided to quit it. Thankfully my HomePod is still working...

    HomePod Any way to way Siri say less??

    Is there any way to make Siri less verbose? I had an echo dot connected to my Philips hue lights and whenever I gave a command it just did it but on my HomePod Siri likes to tell me all the steps it is going through when I’d rather they just happened without me being told. I want to say the...

    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?
