HomePod Mini stops playing

Whether the source is my own playlists or Pandora, etc., the HomePod mini will simply stop playing. I’ll check my phone and it still shows the song is playing but there is no sound. Wait long enough and the “play” symbol with show but touching it does not restart the music. I need to change the output to phone and back to HomePod to get it to work again, but it’s only temporary! How can I fix this issue?

HomePod mini stops playing music I've tried to follow all of the other threads, but still the HomePod mini just stops playing music after 1 song (when sent from pandora on the iPhone to the HomePod ((air play)) or after it gets to a commercial (when played from the home app / or having Siri play a station). It's getting really old, and upsetting that Apple has not addressed this issue with updated. HOW do I get the HomePod Mini to continuously play music??

HomePod cutting off songs and rebeginning follow song This problems happened with HomePosOS 18. When I use my iPhone to let my HomePod (first gen) Stereo pair play an album unregularly the song stops a few seconds before it was ended, then there is a silcence for about 2 seconds, then the next song begins for about 1 second, it stops for 1 second and then it begins again and continues playing. Is anyone else experiencing this problem? I hope it was fixed with HomePodOS 18.1 but it is not.

HomePod 2 cuts out constantly So I’ve bought a HomePod 2 and and have an iPhone 14 pro. Both are fully updated and always updated. There is some crazy insane bug with this system. So when playing music from my phone if I clear the music app from my screen the sound stops, but when I open the app then track is actually still playing. Clicking play/stop does nothing. The only way to make it play is by cueing the track forward or back and this doesn’t work all the time. Next when music app is open and phone is locked, when opening again the phone the music stops but track is still playing as above and to make it play again is the same tedious procedure. Next if music is playing and the app is not on screen when I click the music app the sounds stop and track is still playing and the same procedure to make it play. What is going on with this? It’s driving me insane. I can’t listen to an album or even one track without it cutting off constantly. This happens whether streaming or playing a file that I’ve download, and also happens no matter what sound quality settings I am using, atmos, no atmos etc. None of it makes any difference. Yet it works perfectly with my AirPod pro 2s
