After upgrading to ios 16.4 , homepods have frequently stopped playing music. Or only playing on one of my 7 homepods.

Thanks for reaching out dasmna,

It sounds like you're having some trouble with your HomePods working together. We can help.

Our recommendation would be to Contact Apple for support and service and report the behavior.

Hope that helps.

Take care.

Hello Dasmna,

Thanks for the update. You've tried a lot of great troubleshooting so far. We do suggest you contact Apple Support next. They have additional resources available to look into this with you and assist further.

Take care.

I accidentally clicked helpful. This is not helpful at all. I have contacted customer support and now I am waiting for a call back from a supervisor. Calling this morning and going through the exact same steps as the other user dasmna have tried and my home system has only gotten less responsive. Currently it will not play anything on more than one speaker. In the home kit it will say "playing" at the top but the controls are greyed out and it says "not playing" all simultaneously. The wifi signal waivers between strong and showing an exclamation point. The update literally broke the system. Calling will not help. Apple can you please provide real support?

I am having the same issues, incredibly painful. I spent over an hour on the phone this morning and it was only more pain to end up at square one with absolutely no insight to a solution. I am awaiting a call back from a "supervisor" and will update when able. Seems like the very most basic functions have vanished.
