HomePod mini & Mac

How is Apple's integration between Mac (I have a studio) and HomePod Minis so bad?!


1: You can not plug the minis into a Mac Studio (not enough power)

2: My office pair & Mac Studio are sluggish to respond

3: My stereo pair are usually not balanced. One is loud and the other is a whisper.

(Yes, I have them equally/ properly placed)

3: I'm playing Apple Music from my Mac to my Mini stereo pair but can't control volume from Magic Keyboard. Must use Apple Music App. As I type, none of my ways to control volume are working.

4: Minis often cut out mid song or only one speaker plays.

5: On the Home App (on my Mac) says my office pair minis are not playing yet I am playing music from my Apple Music App from my Mac.


(My guest bedroom pair and Apple TV just stopped working. I've reset each one 3 times and still not working.)


Anyone else have issues? "Home" by Apple is a such a disaster.
