Changing the Siri voice on my stereo pairedHomePods

[Mary Otten]

Sent from my iPhone I got the HomePod from Best Buy, and I have to say I am very impressed with the sound of a pair of them for $500. They are very close to the sound of speakers I have that I paid a lot more for several years ago, which is what I was hoping. I first set up one HomePod, and I did see that there was the availability for changing the Siri voice, as well as the voice over speed. Now that I have a pair, I don’t see that anymore. You’re supposed to do 3D Touch or long press on the HomePod in your Home app. Then you’re supposed to go down to the bottom and see details. And when you’re in there, you’re supposed to see the ability to change the Siri voice. The problem is that now but it’s a pear, I don’t get any ability to long press and hold and get any sort of screen with details. I wonder if you can only change the Siri voice when the pods are not paired. That seems strange.

Hi Mary,
I can't be much help as I only have one Homepod. However, I know that there is a way of drilling down into a stereo pair to see the individual speakers that make up that pair. If you can figure out how to do that, you might then be able to change the Siri voice.
Perhaps others on here can assist further.
Matthew
