Did you set up the HomePod without being connected to Apple TV, as explained in this article?

Can you control your HomePods with your iOS device?

Are the HomePods connected to the 2.4 or 5 GHz Wi-Fi and is your iOS device connected to the same 2.4 or 5GHz band?

Can you stream music from your iOS device to your HomePods?


Did you already restart all devices and your Wi-Fi and try again after that?

That connection works both ways. If you set the HomePod up as a default speaker then it expects Apple TV to be active when it is active. I use AirPlay selectively instead.
