Karen,

I have an apple homepod and for some time now I have had similar problems with my setup.  For example, I have an apple tv 4k which I use for playing my tv sound through the homepod using airplay which works for a time and then without random, It will just switch back to the tv output.  I also find that for what ever reason, my apple mac when playing music through apple music it will eith skip a song in the play list or play a song for a few seconds and then stop and move to the next song.  In any event, I don't find apple music too not be as relible as it used to be and seems to be getting worce.

Problem with Home Pod Mini

Has anyonehad any strange happenings with HomePod Mini?  I’ve had 3 of them for several years. Recently they have been really misbehaving.

When I ask Siri to play aradio station or music from Spotify, it will often tell me it can’t find it on my iPhone.  WhenSiridoes play the music, it often stoped, and would sometimes resume, and sometimes not.  The last few days they has started playingrandomly,on their own.  I finally had to unplug thembecause they would play for awhile, then stop for awhile, then play again, then stop again, etc.

I also have a smallGoogle speaker, which works just fine,That indicates to me that the problem is not with my internet or wifi. I don’t like the quality of the sound as well as the HomePod Minis.

I spent almost 2 hours on the phonethis morning with Apple.  The tech ran some diagnostics and updates, and was unable to resolve the problem.  Shesaidthere have been some reported problems, and thatshe was sending the information to the Engineering Department, and would get back to me.Since we’re into the holidays, I know it may be awhile before they are able to get back to me. So, I just thought I’d check to see if any of you have had a similar problem.
