HomePod Mini keeps stopping

When playing iHeart radio on my HomePod Mini, it suddenly stops playing (after about 10-15 minutes). This seems to have started about a month or so ago. When searching the issue, I noticed the issue has persisted over a few years. There are pleas for help on many websites (redit, PC magazine, etc) as well as Apple Community Discussions. So, I know I'm not alone.

HomePod 2 skipping, pausing and turning up and down volume My HomePod 2 started having issues with pausing randomly, Siri activating and volume down all the time. Whether I connect it to Apple Tv 4k or play songs on iPhone, but the problem remains the same. Is it because of the recent update 18.2? Coz its started to happen after the update, previously it was working fine till then. I am based in India and yesterday I went to Apple authorised service centre, they were not able to understand the issue and told me it can't be repaired, and you have to replace the HomePod 2, which is like buying a new HomePod. Need some help with this, finding what is the real issue.

HomePod 2nd Gen LOUD Static Intermittent Intermittent loud static coming from HomePod. Intermittent. Loud. Happens against all type of sources including Apple Music. Just mailed the device AGAIN into Apple for the 3rd time. Always return it with "cannot duplicate". What a joke! No phone call. No one watching the video of the occurrence. They just blindly mail it back. I'm going to keep sending it in until fixed. Also, it will stutter to infinity until you unplug it. FIX you stuff Apple. Can you provide better customer service for a 1T company.

Homepod mini playing from Apple Music restarts a track or stops track early to start next track When playing with continuous play from Apple Music the homepod mini restarts some tracks after about 10-15 seconds or when approaching the end of a track it will stop early to start the next track, cutting off 15-30 seconds of the end of a track. Latest Firmware 17.0 but it was the same on the previous version. Homepod Mini MJ2E3B/A in stereo pair, strong 2.4GHz wifi setup without bandwidth or download problems.
