Yes, a vaulted ceiling can definitely swallow up a lot of the sound from any speaker. So can lots of other things, like upholstered furniture or even a lot of books. But the HomePod can actually recalibrate its sound to suit the characteristics of the room, using its internal microphone to, in effect, measure its surroundings. You’ll find instructions for that in the manual or online. Give it a try. I think it will help. The HomePod is more than loud enough to fill most rooms.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Yes, I think so. I noticed when I moved my HomePod underneath the kitchen cabinets it projects the sound louder when it bounces off an enclosed space. My living room also has a vaulted ceiling, and my speaker does the same. So I guess placement is important.

Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Absolutely, the unique thing about the HomePod is that it has an adaptive technology that senses the way sound returns to it in order for it to determine how to distribute the best sound to the room and immerse you in it. Now, just from a troubleshooting point of view I would switch the two and see if the same happens with the other, just like anything it could be that the adaptive technology on the one in the living room may be failing. Another thing to consider if after switching them stays the same is to purchase a second HomePod for the living room and pair them in stereo and this will bring more sound coverage and more of that adaptive technology to make it sound louder.
