HomePod won't play music

My HomePod is otherwise performing well but won't play music. Siri acknowledges to my requests but silence is all I hear. I've tried different artists but nothing. It's synced with my iPhoneX.

HomePod, iOS 11.2.5

HomePod mini not playing from Apple Music When I say “hey Siri, please play…”, it says what it is going to play but never plays it. Example: Today I said “hey siri please play some 80s music”, it came back and said “Now playing 80s Essentials” (or something like that) but no music ever played. Yesterday, it said “I’m having a problem playing from Apple Music” and at that time I was having issues on all my devices. That issue was very temporary but, when it went away, my HomePod Minis still wouldn’t play. The problem still exists today. What’s going on?

HomePod Mini with Siri My HomePod Mini no longer plays any song or artist if requested through Siri. Siri responds with: "I can't find anything from XXX on Apple Music. Works fine through the music app or airplay. Any suggestions?

HomePod issue with iOS15 Since iOS15 update, I can’t play music on 2 HomePods together as it was working perfectly before. Like when I ask Siri to play music in all my apartment. Both turn on, but one (and it can be one or the other) play music and the other stay muted. Same if play music on my iPhone and try to send it to both HomePods. Never had this issue before iOS15.

Same Apple ID in both and using remote causes same issue: a flash of album art before saying ‘not playing’.
