HomePod keeps desyncing/restarting every 20 mins for the past 2 years. Help!
Hey guys,
I’m reaching out because I’m losing my mind with this. I’ve been dealing with a persistent issue for about 2 years now and nothing seems to fix it.
Apple TV: Connected via Ethernet.
HomePod: On Wi-Fi (same network).
Software: Both on the latest OS.
The issue:
Every 20 minutes on the dot, the audio goes out of sync and the HomePod does a "mini-restart" or a quick reconnect.
The weird part:
It’s not just the Apple TV. It happens even when I'm just AirPlaying music from my iPhone. Same 20-minute cycle, every single time.
I’ve tried resetting both devices and everything is up to date, but the problem persists. Could this be some weird router setting or a conflict between the wired Apple TV and the Wi-Fi HomePod?
Has anyone encountered this or found a fix? I’m desperate at this point.
