HomePod starts and stops audio randomly after OS 18.1 update

After I updated yesterday, I’m having problems convincing my HomePod to play audio instead of randomly pausing. It’s never been easy to play music on my Apple TV through the HomePod and connected minis, but this is beyond annoying.

HomePod, 18

I am having same issue! When I play music on my Apple TV through my connected 2 HomePods that are a stereo pair and set to be the speakers for Apple TV as default it will randomly pick songs that will play 75% of the song then the HomePods go silent but it is still playing on the tv and then when the next song starts the sound is back!


please help! I have tried resetting Apple TV and HomePods already but have removed from home app completely yet.
