HomePod goes silent after 15 seconds

When playing Apple Music, homepod goes silent for 15 seconds for some tracks. The track shows as still playing on my iPhone, and will return to normal on the next track.

I have seen that so many people have been affected by this, have apple provided a fix yet?

HomePod Going Silent In the past maybe two weeks, my HomePod has started going silent on certain songs - mainly brand new songs that have just been downloaded from Apple Music - then it will play the next song like nothing happened. Before this, it would stop and start playing before completely cutting out. It seems to have started with the latest iOS/HomePod update but I wanted to see if it was only me it was happening to or should I replace with a new HomePod? Currently have the original HomePod for anyone curious. Thanks!

Home App shows HomePod as not playing When I'm outside and check my HomePod I can start or stop playing music, but it shows as not playing and I can't see the song playing, choose another one or control the volume, I remember that was possible before. Is there a way to fix this?

Home reports HomePod not responding Have setup HomePod but home on iPhone reports not responding. It seems to be working okay though. It pauses and plays when clicking on the item in home. Have tried removing and adding again but still the same

There is supposed to be a fix on the latest software update 15.5.1. Install that if you haven’t already done so.
