There was a thread of people experiencing a lag time from their HomePod mini to their apple device (MBP/iPhone). Video audio was out of sync with the HomePods on my MacBook Pro too.
I bought 2 HomePods a few days ago and there was an update I installed when I first set that up. But this problem is still there.
Hey there hilmimusam,
We understand you're having some issues with audio sync between your HomePod mini and MacBook Pro and iPhone.
One option you might try is restarting each of your devices, including your router. Starting with the router is usually the best option, then the MacBook Pro, and then the HomePods.
From there, if you still have the issue, contact Apple for help here: Get Support
We hope you have a great day!
Take care!
I have this same issue. It is a serious bug and makes the homepod minis (stereo pair) unusable for video playback, which is what I want to do more than half the time (and one of the main reason that I bought them). Restarting the router does not fix it. I have tried everything that I can think of, including factory resetting the homepod minis.
This issue is observed in conjunction with a Macbook Air M1. I have tried watching YouTube and Twitch video streams in Safari, Firefox and Chrome and it is the same issue over and over again. Sometimes audio synchronisation works, but once it fails, it never recovers until the Macbook Air is restarted... so perhaps the bug is at the OS level.
HomePod mini slow response time and lag
