music video playback on Sequoia 15.3.1 stutters with HomePod mini's

Ever since upgrading to Mac OS Sequoia 15.x on my Mac Mini M2 Pro I have had connectivity issues connecting to any of my 8 HomePod mini's. It takes several attempts to connect and stay connected. When I play songs from my Apple Music library, non-video music plays fine, once I get connected to a pair of HomePod mini's. However, any music video I play stutters big time. Don't matter if it is downloaded or I stream it. If I change the sound output source to the Mac mini speaker or a headset, the video's play fine. HomePod mini's firmware is v18.3, Mac OS Sequoia v15.3.1. I have a 35" monitor connected to the Mac mini and it's awesome playing music video with a pair of HomePod mini's or on all of them in the house. Use to work well, but not with Mac OS 15.x. I have no issues at all when playing video's from the my AppleTV to all HomePod mini's
