I can't airplay to HomePod mini from M1 Mac mini

HomePod is working fine. I can airplay to it from my iPhone and my old MacBook.


however, with my new M1 Mac mini, I can't airplay anything to the HomePod mini. Not movies, not Spotify. the file continues playing, but no sound comes out.

Mac mini, macOS 11.3

I updated my M1 iMac to the latest Big Sur 11.5.1 on 7/27/2021 and AirPlay connecting issue is suddenly all fixed.

It didn't work on the earlier Big Sur 11.5 update though.

I have a pair of HomePod mini and a Beosound 2 that I have been using M1 iMac to AirPaly to both speakers without any issue since 7/27. I'm definitely happy with this update. 😇
