Homepods won’t stay paired

Others have suggested to try using another app on your device which uses HomePod and see if it restores sync.

or the next tine you unpair them, try airplaying to them by selecting both (as opposed to stereo pairing) then re-pair them

you could also try moving them, not to another spot, but just lifting them up off the surface for a few seconds for them to recalibrate.

That is totally NOT working for me. Same symptoms. Same problems. I can get them to work properly in tandem with AirPlay. But no matter how much in move a speaker around (even lifting it up and placing it back down) doesn’t fix anything. The speakers stay independent.

This is was never a problem before. What gives? Seriously, I dropped $600 on this. Why is this suddenly impossible to link?

Does your router support multiple channels? E.g. 2.4 GHz and 5GHz, normal and guest Wi-Fi? Your devices may be more stable if there is only one radio channel for them to choose from. It may also help to pre-assign IP addresses for them.

Figured it out.

I removed both HomePods from “My Home”, then chose REMOVE HOME from the “My Home” section of the home app (all the way at the bottom). From there I reset both HomePods and started over. Voila.

Problem could’ve been caused by the fact I moved to another location and began using a new WiFi as well.

Doing GREAT now!

Is the software up to date on both?

you could try unpairing and re-pair the HomePods.

Then you could reset both

Amazingly - lifting them up and moving them seemed to help me - completely crazy.

That’s awesome!

Glad it helped.

Apparently doing that, they recalibrate. Good to do if you’re having issues with how they sound as well.
