homepod OG stereo pair will sound wired when playing dolby atmos (spatial audio) albums
Starting from several months ago, my homepod OG stereo pair will sound wired (maybe out of sync between the left and right channel) when playing dolby atmos (spatial audio) albums.
It will start playing the first few songs normally, but after several songs (randoms from 1 to 3 or some), the sound will start to be wired. When I hear carefully, it seems that the left and right channel is slightly out of sync (not sure though, but the sound is clearly abnormal, especially the vocal is kind of hollow).
When I tap pause and continue (or just click next song), the sound will be normal again.
This happens almost 100% for each dolby atmos album (just a matter of it happens at the second song or some latter ones). When I disable dolby atmos, everything will be normal again.
The new update OS 17.6 does not fix this issue.
