If on Xfinity internet, turn off Private Relay in IOS 15. After turning Private Relay off, ungroup HomePods, reboot your router, HomePods, and AppleTV. Then Stereo Pair your HomePods again. On AppleTV set your audio output to the HomePod stereo pair. That seemed to work for me.

I’ve been fighting this since 15 dropped. Was driving me crazy!


just turned off “advanced security” on my Xfinity cable modem / Wi-Fi, then turned off the power strip for the ATV and HomePod, then back on.


it started working immediately!


if you have Xfinity, test by disabling advanced security. You can do this in the Xfinity app under overview->account->privacy center.
