Homepod on 12.2 stereo pair issue

Hi,

Since I updated my Homepods to12.2 and macOS to10.14.4 i've been having an annoying issue.

When I stereo pair my Homepods and and play music through iTunes desktop one homepod stops playing randomly and I have to manually un-select and select my homepods in iTunes Airplay menu and most of the time this works but the issue always comes back. I tried restoring my both my homepods to and even restored my system on my Mac but to no avail. The only way I got them to work is by ungrouping the speakers and selecting them manually in iTunes.

Any info or tips on this would be appreciated.
