r/HomePod

Lots of fun effects in this one!

The update effectively breaks using airplay 1 for audio playback. This effects any third-party devices and applications that do not support airplay 2.

Essentially, do not update/unplug unless you only have/use apple products. We also discovered that Spotify on apple devices use Airplay 2.

If you use Android, I'll be updating the "AirAudio Streamer" app shortly with a update for airplay 2:

Edit: The AirAudio app is updated for streaming to Homepods with Airplay 2 and google cast devices on Android devices. Sonos should work, but I don't have a device to test it on.
