Will it fix Siri saying that the humidity is high at 53%? Surely 53% isn’t high? What is the threshold for not saying the humidity in the kitchen is high at xx%? And why such a long rambling answer too.

Thanks, I just heard about something like that on ATP podcast, I think. I didn’t know it was possible, but there are lag issues to deal with, especially for something like my above PS4 (gaming) example, or say I wanted to plug in a guitar/keyboard, or stuff like that. Audio in is really the only solution to deal with things like that.

yes, there’s audio lag of much less than 1 second. It hides it for pause/play situations by replaying a moment of previous pre-pause audio. Clever. Some apps, not using the standard Apple player, have momentary silence on play resume. There are no lip sync issues — you can easily tune delay via a setup with your iPhone.

Oh! Right. So you can do this? I didn’t know. 

I live in the UK. So I use a Sky Box and I have an Apple TV. So it is possible to play the sky audio through the home pods? Via the Apple TV?

I’m also in the UK. I can watch inbuilt Freeview from my LG OLED and get eARC sound via the AppleTV to stereo original HomePods. Now Sky are awkward b@stoods and might block it; I think they prevent AirPlay of their content. Maybe have a Google to confirm, or perhaps others with experience of eARC and external devices will weigh in?
