When I listen to music from iPad to HomePod: Youtube, Spotify, iHeartRadio, etc etc. The volume on HomePod is loud.
But when I listen to music from YouTube via airplay from MBA 2014 ( Catalina 10.15.4). The volume on HomePod is only half the volume of the same songs.

HomePod has latest software 13.4. I bought it a week ago.

Any advice to solve this issue??
 
Update:

MacbookAir, no longer sees HomePod. Ive rebooted the laptop and Ive reset the HomePod.
MacBook Air still doesn't see the HomePod.
Ipad and Iphone do see HomePod and I can play music from both devices to HomePod. But MacBook Air doesn't see HomePod.

Power cycled the router. Power Cycled MacBook Air, power cycled HomePod.

This is what im getting.

Edit:
Second image attached. MacBook does not see HomePod, instead it sees Airplay TV.

I dont own a TV.

I guess the most basic step is to first make sure that your MacBook is connected to the right network.
 
Fixed both issues.
I had to reset keychain to fix a different issue and that screwed everything up in the process.


I reset all the settings, including HomePod, reconnected HomePod to all my devices and now the volume from MacOS is loud.
