HomePod mini left channel issues

My left channel keeps cutting out when my two HomePods are in stereo pair. If I switch left and right, the speaker that cuts out is still the left channel. WiFi is strong, 6e Mesh. Started happening regularly with iOS 17 update to apple ecosystem

HomePod stereo pair - one dropping out frequently I have two HomePods which are set up as a stereo pair. One will stop playing at times, and will either come back after a minute or two, or might need reset to play again. It doesn’t seem to make any difference where the source sound is coming from, e.g. Apple Music, Apple TV or another device like an iPad, the issue happens fairly regularly when the HomePods are in use. It is not always the same HomePod which stops playing. I have tried resetting, unpairing and setting up again, restoring to factory settings and setting up from the start and the problem persists. I have a BT Internet Hub (BT Halo 1) providing my internet and wifi. Any ideas for troubleshooting would be great to hear. Thanks!

Homepod Stereo Speakers - Right / Left Speakers Settings under Homepod settings/audio settings - No sound for right/left indicator Since v15.4.1 and now v15.5 - I am not able to set the left / right speakers under Homepod's setting - audio settings. When tapping this orange bar - there is "ding" audio coming from both speakers to help determine which speaker is left or right. Currently have to rely on third party youtube video to help in this settings. Looks like we have a feature under Homepod settings/audio settings which is not funtioning. Hope apple able to fix this soon. See screen shots for the homepod settings

HomePod Stere Pairing Issues Hi, I have recently bought a second HomePod pro and am having huge problems with stereo pairing - it is basically unusable. Pairing works for a while, between an hour and a day - but suddenly only starts playing out of a single speaker. It tends to be after no music has been played for a period. Sometimes, a restart can fix it - but more often it requires removing the devices any resetting them up - is anyone else having these issues?

I reset and re-paired both speakers. They are working better have put through a full test. Shouldn’t have to do that after an update
