    HomePod HomePod AirPlay lag from Mac: anyone experiencing it?

    Anyone experiencing lag when AirPlaying from Mac to the HomePod? I can't even watch Netflix because the lag is too big. Strangely, AirPlaying to my  TV has no lag. The lag occurs with iTunes as well.

    Airplay 2 and Airplay (1st gen)

    I see a lot of new devices including the HomePod saying that they will support Airplay 2. However some like SONOS etc. don't support Airplay (1st gen). I know that some of Airplay 2's functionalities are not supported on older macs, but I wonder if the basic features are. For example, playing...

    Airplay to Apple TV Completely Gone

    Hi, I used Airplay a lot to stream from my iPhone 6 Plus and iPad Air to my Apple TV (2nd Gen I guess, the one before you're able to install apps). Since I updated to iOS 11, my Apple TV doesn't appear in the list of neither the iPhone, nor the iPad anymore, only screen mirroring is still...

    Airplay 2 Multi-Room Audio with Apple TV (4th Gen)

    Perhaps I am confused by the iOS 11 announcement, but I thought my existing 4th Gen Apple TVs would be a compatible multi-room Airplay 2 speaker once I downloaded the IOS and TVOS updates today. As far as I can tell, I can only stream from my IOS device to a single Apple TV at a time even...
