HomePod “set a timer” does not work.

My HomePods won’t play the sound for timers. I have two full-size HomePods and two Minis and all are displaying the same issue.

I can play music, I can set alarms, and I can ask Siri questions time- weather - date… but none will “ring” timers any longer.

Siri replies “five second timer starting now” — but no sound at the end of requested time. All my devices have been updated as well as my iPhone, iPads, and MacBook. I have hard reset all devices.
