Home pod Gen 2 changing volume automatically and skipping songs

My Home Pod Gen 2 is randomly changing volume and skipping songs. It turns Siri on and off by itself and just does its own thing without any input from anyone or any device.

I have reset it multiple times, updated it, removed the accessory, turned it on and off at the plug, done everything adviced but since its last update it has not done anything properly.

What is going on with this new update? My other 3 home pods are working fine but the gen 2 is not.

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.

Why is my HomePod playing music without commands? Since, last week, my homepod has started playing music randomly, without anyone giving a voice command or touch command. It is really annoying. I have tried resetting it, restarting as well, and also disabled Hey Siri. But, to no avail. Also, changed its location, but the issue persists. P.S: Also homepod is updated to the latest software update. [Re-Titled by Moderator]
