Homepod does not play while in the same room with ATv4K.

Hi guys,


I have Apple TV 4k and stereo homepod, After I update the OS to 14.2. I tried Home theater, It works well.


But when I try to play music - Siri says not connect with the internet, even I tried to play music from iPhone via Airplay but I got the message like - Airplay 2 can't connect.


So I tried to ungroup the homepad and change the HP to a different room and make it pair again. then It works well.


It's not working while in the same room with AT4K.


Anyone facing the same issue or any solution is there for this problem?


Thanks in Advance

Totally agree, can't ask siri questions while ATV4k is using HP. This thing only does one thing right, play superb sound quality. I've discovered restarting the HP every time you want to use works wonders. So if its connected to ATV4k and you want to disconnect to play back from your phone, just restart and everything will work properly. Restart is your new best friend, too bad you can't ask siri to restart herself, then this thing would be even more useful.

Yep, having the same problem. Lots of people on Reddit are reporting similar issues. My HomePod that is set up as my Apple TV home theater speaker no longer allows me to airplay audio to it. If I try to airplay any audio from a video I am watching on my iPhone or iPad, the Apple TV turns on and tries to take over the video. I tried getting audio to play through the HomePod while watching Netflix on my iPad, and the Apple TV tried to take over, so I got a warning that Netflix cannot be streamed from my iPad to an Apple TV. I wasn’t trying to airplay the video to the Apple TV, just the audio to the HomePod.


When I unpair the HomePod and the Apple TV, then I can again send the audio from Netflix on my iPad or iPhone.


apple makes no mention of this in any of their support documentation. Perhaps a bug?
