Apple Music on Mac streaming to HomePod always stops after three tracks

If I play any kind of music tracks from my Mac streaming to HomePod, the music just stops playing after three tracks. I cannot play a whole album through!

Apple Music Cuts Out on HomePod I recently moved to the US from Spain and changed the location of my Apple Music account accordingly. Since then, whenever I stream music on my HomePod from Apple Music (using Siri), it plays the first few seconds of the requested song and then cuts out. Sometimes it goes on to some other random song, sometimes it just stops playing. However, if I search for a song in Apple Music on my iPhone and select the HomePod as the speaker, it plays with no issues. If I select music in Apple Music on my MacBook it also plays through the HomePod with no issues. What can be wrong when Streaming music directly on the HomePod? Does anyone have an idea?

HomePod plays the beginning of songs and then moves on to another song This does not happen all the time but it is becoming more frequent. I use Apple Music and when playing a playlist, the HomePod often plays the first few seconds of a song and then goes to another song and does it again. It is random in that there seems to be no patter with how many songs it does this for before playing a full song. Happens with both HomePod and minis. Playlists and songs play without issue when using AirPods

If it doesn't happen when playing music through the Mac speakers open the Home app and restart the HomePods (if they're paired) or reset (if not paired).
