HomePod (first gen) and sometimes out of tune (!)

Audio Gear Talk Airplay

I use a HomePod with Roon since the beginning in my bedroom. Everything was fine until (apparently) recent release. Sometimes, I can hear some clicks, short silences… and out of tune like a magnetic tape read slower !! It doesn’t last but occurs a few times…

I never have this with my Yamaha amplifier which is connected in airplay too, never with my iPhone when I listen music with my AirPod Max, and never with my DAC/amplifier with Ethernet connection.

So, only with the HomePod

Anyone has encountered such a strange behavior with HomePod ?

Thx

Had its with other devices using RAAT a reboot of them fixes it. I think it’s some dac locking issue.

You mean reboot the HomePod (unplug and replug it electrically, so) ?

Yes power cycle it.
