I face similar problem. HomePod (purchased last week) was working on MacOS 11.0.1 on my MacBook Pro. I updated MacOS over the weekend to 11.1 and I cannot get any sound from MacBook to HomePod...
Already did a lot of investigations. My other MacBook Air, with older OS works. so I conclude (a) MacOS upgrade to 11.1 OR (b) some specific harware from MacBook Pro (2017 customized model) is the culprit.
I spend nearly 2 hours with Apple support, nothing worked. Support team will work on this and supposed to come back in 2-3 days. It is disappointing to see Apple products causing trouble like its own products..

Then I reset HomePod with 10-sec power plug-out and 5-sec hold touch screen (with beep), then reinstalled HomePod - but the same issue as no sound, Siri function is OK. After connecting to iPhone, working fine - only iMac connection and no sound issue even no sound with Apple Music :(
Thanks and same issue that I am struggling between HomePod/HomePod_mini and Mac OS 11.1. Sometimes they are working after rebooting two hardwares simultaneously or resetting HomePod by wall power unplugging for 10-sec then press the touch screen on HomePod for 5-sec and resetting beep 3-time. (no issue at all with iPhone) - HomePod software/firmware of WiFi connection should be corrected I guess.
today from all my experiments, hard/soft resets and hypotheses testing, I can conclude that the problem is with latest MacOS 11.1 compatibility with HomePod, unless something very specific to 2017-2018 MacBook Pro audio components (lower probability of that I believe). well, let's see what Apple support comes back with.
Click menubar airplay next to sound bar several times and now working
Even with 11.2 macOS, still no sound from HomePod from my Mac.... Are you listening, Apple?
