As said, there is a static and crackling sound lasting up to 5 seconds when I’m playing music from Spotify on my HomePod Mini. It comes up every couple of minutes and then music resumes playing normally. So far I had no issues, and after this emerged, I updated all softwares to latest versions and updated the Spotify app. Any ideas what to do next?
HomePod mini, 18
I've been experiencing the same problem after updating to OS 18. It happens whether I'm using the HomePod minis as tv speakers or while listening to music. I've also noticed an echo that comes and goes like the speakers aren't playing the audio at the same time.
I updated last night and so far have had no issues. Thanks Apple for getting on the issue in an expedient manner.
How were able to update? Are you using 18.1?
😂
Same here, it annoying
Please update your HomePods to 18.1 to see if this issue is resolved.
Having this same issue! And it sucks that I can’t just access HomePods to restart etc without the home app which doesn’t seem like it’s integrated properly.
Read this article today and thought I'd share:

Don’t relax yet! I really hope it has worked for you but updating all mine didn’t solve it for me.
The shortcut doesn’t work on my iPad or iPhone. Could you create a shortcut that works on either please?
Play around with the multicast dns option in your router.
I recommend resetting your homepod/homepod mini. thats what im doing now, will tell you guys if it works
I experienced the same….and sadly, after a week…it’s all back again. How did you go?
