Why do all my Homepods play the same music at different times after updating to IOS18? It doesn't happen in IOS17! There are more than 5 Homepods in my place. After I started to play for a while, maybe 3-5 songs, the audio does not sync anymore! It does like the delay time is a mess with the system!
HomePod, 18
Same here after iOS18 and HomePod OS18. Located in Austria/Europe! And sometimes a crack in one of the speakers. Four HomePods 1st gen in use.

Yes Same here I just spent all weekend rebuilding my HomePod network after this update broke the Sync - only to find it made absolutely no difference!! OS18 definitely the culprit- was fine before - even tried turning if lossless and Atmos but no change. I can live with slow Siri- but music not playing in sync literally defeats the point of having these speakers!
Same, I basically have to just use a single HomePod gen 2 in my living room. I tried combo of different HomePods and soon as use 2 it goes out of sync.
still getting the sync issue on 18.1 anyone else ?
The same problem appeared in OS17.0 and fixed in 17.2. But we have same problem now again.

Factory reset doesn't work.
After the MacOS Sequoia upgrade, the Apple Music app I use to sync with my Homepod Mini broke the speakers of my MBP 13’ M2 computer. There are crackling and popping sounds in some parts of every song.
I just reported the bug. I brought out my sonos speakers and created a scene just as i did with homepods and no issues. Strictly a homepod ecosystem issue. The homepods have no correction between them. With all the mics on the homepods and listening for alarms and commands it cannot detect out of sync. Silly bug
Same here, more than one homepod crashes after 1-2 songs
Hi,
I also have the same problem here. Now some automations with music also are buggy, the song will skip after 10 seconds in a loop. They also started making weird popping noises and screeching sounds… all of this after the update that caused the out of sync music. I hope they fix that nonsense soon
have a pair of HomePod mini (gen 2) as default audio pair on AppleTV 4K (gen 1) all running iOS / tvOS public betas. I also have a gen 1 HomePod which I like to use as a “bass extension” for the pair of minis.
Playing the gen 1 HomePod alone, no problems. Playing gen 1 and gen 2 HomePods at the same time, the gen 1 gets further and further out of sync and soon the gen1 starts making horrible “BUUU.UUU.UUUUUUU.PPPPP.PPP” farty noises.
disconnect the gen 2 HomePods, gen 1 sounds as good as new.
You can be sure that’s what everyone tried first. Even a reinitialization to factory defaults didn’t help. It truly is the update that’s problematic
Addition: When I play radio stations with Siri (via Apple Music/TuneIn) there is no "out of synch" problem.
still goes out of sync for me on radio stations with Siri (via Apple Music/TuneIn)
Sync wise everything seems to be fine now, but the scratching noise still appears sporadically on all the HomePods at different times. Only solution is to unplug and replug the HomePod
really - the sound is good and for the most part everything else is working and responding but the sync is still broken for me - after like 4 / 5 songs it goes out of sync - so frustrating
