Inconsistent volume on HomePod 2

Why does the Homepod 2 play songs at different volumes all the time, even when Soundcheck is turned on.

Sometimes it gets louder after a few seconds, next song is superquiet again.

All music gets streamed from apple music, no other music involved so they should fogured the volume levels of their own music by now shouldn't they?

Homepod volume sounds low while on Apple music Hello. I have tried both Apple Music and YOUTUBE music in the 2nd generation HOMEPOD but while the music from youtube music is very loud and full, songs from apple music sounds very low. My Audio quality has been set to LOSSLESS. why would this happen in a 300$ speaker?

Homepod 2nd gen unbalanced stereo pair Most of the tracks on Apple Music sounds unbalanced. Most frequently the left Homepod sounds higher in volume. When I switch to Spotify the sounds is correct. Dolby Atmos is off on the Music app. This is VERY annoying. I tried everything but still the sounds from Apple Music is always uneven. Any suggestions?

HomePod cutting off songs and rebeginning follow song This problems happened with HomePosOS 18. When I use my iPhone to let my HomePod (first gen) Stereo pair play an album unregularly the song stops a few seconds before it was ended, then there is a silcence for about 2 seconds, then the next song begins for about 1 second, it stops for 1 second and then it begins again and continues playing. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I hope it was fixed with HomePodOS 18.1 but it is not.

first make sure they’re running the latest sideware (16.6) otherwise you might need to reset them and set back up again . If paired, ungroup the stereo pair first before resetting.
