I have 2. I HomePods, stereo for Apple TV. Perfect. I have a mini in the kitchen for Apple Music, streaming radio, cooking alarms etc. Perfect. I bought a second mini to get this big, old fashioned computer speakers off the desk. How naive i was to think a speaker made by apple would be compaywith its own compute! I have read every post in this thread, and tried a thousand different fixes. All I want is half an hour of YouTube at lunch, my system sounds and the Siri assistant. I don’t know whether I’m shocked or not that Apple didn’t first think ‘this will be the ideal Mac speaker, people will but it for that’ and make it work. This is such a ridiculous and embarrassing oversight from Apple. It is the very first thing I wanted to do with it, only to get told I’ve bought an ‘entertainment centre’, not a computer speaker. they Should have a big note on the bic that says ‘no, basically this thing won’t work with your Mac even though everything suggests it will’. Homepods are great speakers, but until they work prop with a darn Mac they will always be evidence of the lack of joined up thinking at Apple which we have become used to.
