AirPlay not working after setting up PiHole

Hello everyone,

Today i've set up Pihole on an Raspberry Pi

All I did was set up a local DNS Server in my Fritzbox's IPv4 and IPv6 settings and ever since then Airplay is not working on my 2 Homepods minis nor are the voice commands to play music. Siri can however tell me the weather and I still see the option to connect to them in the AirPlay settings on iPhone and Mac.

Is Pihole blocking something or is it because of the local DNS server?

Does anyone perhaps know what I would have to do to get it working again?

HomePod mini, 17

I use PiHole for my local DNS and DHCP, and have created static DHCP MAC->IP mappings for my HomePods (and other HomeKIt devices). I deactivated DHCP on my wireless access point and router. Everything is working fine that way.
