Homepod will not play VoiceMemos!

I record hours of my music performances every week from the stage via VoiceMemos on my iPhone15 Pro to listen back to. When I elect "my room" which plays through dual (original) HomePods seamlessly for my Apple music and podcasts it retains the "my room" setting for a few minutes than defaults back to iPhone as the speaker choice. I can close all apps and restart the phone after which i might get an extra minute of iPhone-HomePod success but a soon enough it defaults back to my iPhone. Mega-Thx for any attempted solutions!

Add HomePod to Home app I have three HomePods purchased in 2020 & 2021 I am trying to set up two as stereo speakers and a third on its own in a different room I have managed to connect to the two HomePods as stereo speakers which is good I have got the third HomePod working (e.g. Spotify via my iPhone) but can't seem to add it to the Home app - and therefore cannot access any settings. Confusingly, it also seems to be using the same name as the other two HomePods I have tried the following without success: placed the iPhone near the HomePod to try and connect reset the HomePod settings unplugged the HomePod and started from scratch What do I need to do to be able to add the third HomePod to the Home app Thank you in advance

HomePod connection issues? I’ve had the second Gen HomePod for a couple months and while it sounds great, I keep having connection issues. Mainly between my iPhone and HomePod. The HomePod wifi has full bars, it’s the same network. I’m aware that you can unplug the device and restart your phone but that’s a pain! We shouldn’t have to do that nearly every day. What the HomePod really needs is a way to force connect it and not relying on it to automatically connect. I’m a bit let down by Apple. I expected a great, smooth experience. For the record: the HomePod works fine with voice, it’s the controlling it with my phone that’s the issue. I like to use the music player screen on my phone to skip music. After all, it’s easier to tap a button than to say “hey siri. Skip” several time. All of my devices are up to date too. I don’t know what else to do but I’m tired of this not working consistently. I expect consistency from Apple. Am I missing something? I’ve done most of the troubleshooting including factory resetting the HomePod. I keep hoping they’ll update it to fix this issue but they don’t.

Volume in HomePod in Classical app In Apple Classical, I can’t control volume from my iPhone when using HomePod as the audio output like I can in Apple Music. There’s no slider control visible.
