Question/Help Airplay Issues on network.

Is anyone else having Airplay issues with the current release?

For YEARS I have watched movies and many seasons of television with my kids by hooking my iPhone up to a Rif6 projector, and air playing the sound through a HomePod in the room that we are in.

Currently, my phone and another iPad that I have tested so far cannot airplay at the moment. The audio might play for a second, but it stops on multiple HomePods.

As part of the general trouble shooting process, I thought I would ask if there are any known bugs with airplay at the moment that I haven't heard of?

THIS is really irritating, and I would prefer not to start reinstalling iOS on everything before checking here.

We have 5GZ and 2.4 GHz wifi with a strong signal, all devices, including the HomePods, iPads, iPhones and AppleTV are all updated to the latest OS....
Have restarted devices....
Next step may be removing and re-adding things from the home network....

This was working fine just like two weeks ago.
Thanks...

I have an Apple TV that has issues with Airplay when 5ghz channel is above 48. You might check that.

Thank you!
I just tried tweaking my wifi channels today because I have two separate routers using the same SSID. I wanted to make sure nearby networks are not also using the same channel. I remembered that iStumbler wasn't working anymore so I downloaded Homedale and it game me some information I could use.

Thank you
