Homepod Home Theater with the Apple TV 4K inconsistent volume and dynamics, and volume randomly lowers itself.


    So, I have two OG set as an stereo pair with an Apple TV 4K, and i am starting to think that my Homepods are defective (i have factory reset them twice to try some troubleshooting).

    You see, even on home theater mode the volume is widly inconsistent, specially concerning dialogue clarity and intelligibility, which is a deal breaker for me.

    Everyone says that Homepod home theater mode biggest strength is the crystal clear dialogue, but i am not experiencing that all of the time.

    So far, Amazon Prime Video and Apple streaming apps give the best results for me with the homepods.

    Loud, powerful, good dynamics, good soundstage. But Netflix and Disney+ are wildly inconsistent. Some content is ok, other suffer from lower volume and dialogue is compromised/drowned by sound effects and music, like if the center channel is not properly recreated, and the mixing sounds weird.

    Also, I am, for some time now, experiencing an annoying bug. I usually use my Homepods with the Apple TV at maximum volume, since I think they are not that loud anyway. But sometimes, while I am watching some content, at completely random intervals, the volume lowers itself to around 50% (I see the Apple TV volume control appear on the screen and lowering itself, without touching anything myself), and I have to reach the remote and turn it up again.

    Anoyone else having the same issues?. Any suggestions?
