iTunes 12.9.0.164 Crossfade not working

Same issue here. Strange thing is, crossfade works when using older apple tv or airport express, but anything with Airplay 2, crossfade does not work. This has been an issue since Airplay 2 was introduced. Happening on on all 4 of my Macs on multiple networks. Two of them running High Sierra and Two running 10.14.1

Hi there, thanks for the advice. I still haven't managed to get crossfade to work in iTunes. And I wonder if it is because the second step you suggets

2. To the right of the volume control at the top of the iTunes playback

window, try selecting "computer only" (deselect any airplay devices,

i.e. airport express)

isn't obvious to me. That is, at the top of the iTunes playback window there is nowhere for me to select "computer only", nor could I find this option anywhere else. Maybe that's becaue I don't have any airplay devices and never had?

Any other suggestions for getting crossfade to work in this version of iTunes?

Thanks

I posted this a while back. I was really surprised no one else has noticed this. It makes me worried that the crossfade function might be phased-out. I really hope not!!

Just updated to beta on my MacBook Pro 10.14.2 and iTunes 12.9.2.2 HomePod 12.1 issue persists.

You can only "computer only when you have more than Airplay speaker connected to your Mac. I can report crossfade is still not working, now on iTunes 12.8.2.3 and HomePod on 12.1.3 or to apple tv 4k
