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 can no longer reliably use any of my HomePods with OS18. I have two homes in two countries with more than 8 HomePods at each site. After upgrading to OS18, it's not possible to reliably listen to music:
It goes without saying that these bugs destroy any listening pleasure using HomePods with OS18. Such a shame.
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.

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?
