Homepod minis out of sync

I have 3 minis in my living room and don’t want a

stereo set-up, but often the music streams at different “speeds”. The one speaker would be three seconds behind the other two.

I have restarted, unplugged, removed completely and reinstalled to Home, but it keeps doing it.

Any advice ?

Multiple homepod mini connectivity I recently purchased several HomePod minis to have audio around the house. It worked great for a couple days but now i have the following problems i can’t seem to get more than 1 at a time to play in sync my devices can’t consistently connect to the minis my devices say the minis are connected but no audio comes out of the minis my device will connect to the mini then a completely different song or playlist will start The only thing that gets audio coming out of the device is to unplug and plug but even then it only lasts about a day and they still can’t connect in multiple rooms. I guess i am confused because Apple products are supposed to “just work.” It seems i had better multi-room audio with IKEA Symfonisk speakers. I hope this is just some glitch that can be fixed before i have to decide to return these devices. hope to hear help.

Homepod mini stereo pair disconnecting Hi I’ve been having an issue with my HomePod minis (I have 3). 2 of them I’ve set up as a pair, and from time to time one of them disconnects, or starts playing something simultaneously to the other one. When I try to touch it it says “sure I’ll play something that you like” and starts with my playlist. I thought this is an issue with one of my 3 homepods, so I changed it with other one but the issue still appears, no matter which HomePod is setup as a pair. I also did channel switching, unpairing, and software updates. what might be the case? please help it’s super annoying, and all of them are expired in terms of warranty.

HomePod Mini 16.4.1 issues My Mini’s are connected as they play music, etc. However they frequently lose Right stereo channel for 1-2 minutes, Stop playing entirely for a few minutes, etc. They show as not responding sometimes but not always. Occurs with Apple Music and when using home library iTunes server. All recommended steps already attempted. V16.4.1 seems slightly better then 16.4.0 and 16.3.X but issues still remain.

I’ve got the same since a few days. Worked fine before for a long time. Now it keeps getting out of sync or even starts making sounds like the old school players did when the got in a bad place on the track. Kinda funny for once, but fun is over. Apple, go fix it 😉 you’ve got a digital broken record.
