I can’t believe I actually have to ask Apple to add stereo-paired HomePods as a Mac sound output device! It’s the most ridiculous Feature Request yet, because it’s absolutely nuts that this isn’t already built into macOS - especially that it isn’t baked into Catalina.Īpple’s own audio apps will happily allow you to select stereo-paired HomePods as a single output device. I expressed my dismay at Apple failing to address this in a Feature Request last year. I was, however, pointed to a solution of sorts… All other Mac sound can be output to one speaker or the other, but not to both.
We’ve had stereo-paired HomePods for more than two years now, but one big frustration remains for Mac users: you can only use them with certain Apple apps, like Music and TV.
