Audio only works from my MacBook instead of TV.

When I try to stream a video, the visual works fine but the audio comes from my MacBook instead of the TV. When I went to Sound Settings, the Apple TV showed up as an option for sound output but would go back to computer every time I clicked Apple Tv.
This happens randomly. I'll use the Apple TV to stream a video from the same website and some days it'll work perfectly and other days it won't.

Hi,
I understand that you are in Airplay?   I had the same problem since my AppleTV updated today.
I restarted the airplay setting in the apple TV :   Settings / Airplay.   Deactivate Airplay. 
You will loose the airplay icon in the upper right menu of your Mac.
Reactivate Airplay on the Apple TV and reconnect your Mac.
Solved the problem for me.   I hope it will help you too.   Sorry if the terms are not the right one, my AppleTV is not in English...

    Hello Achates:
    I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
    In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
    Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

  • How do i get air play to work from my macbook to apple tv

    How do i get air play to work from my macbook to apple tv? It does work with some programs like itunes but I can't get it to work with safari.

    apple tv does not work in safari. there is no web browsing capabilities on the apple tv..
    however what you are probably referring to is mirroring? iPad 2 and iPhone 4s have mirroring capabilities, so what you have on the screen is exactly what would appear in the apple tv..
    on ipad for example...ignore the settings page. Instead, go to the iPod controls. Double-press your home button to see the multitasking bar, showing all your recent apps. Swipe your finger from right to left for the mirroring icon; you'll see the AirPlay icon. Tap on that, select your Apple TV and toggle the mirror button to 'on'.

  • Printing only works from one computer

    I have an Epson Stylus C60 connected to the USB port on my Airport Extreme. There are two computers on the network, a PowerBook G4 and a MacBook Pro. Both computers connect to the network very reliably and have internet access. The problem is that the MBP cannot print to the connected printer. The G4 has always printed fine.
    The MBP sees the printer as a Bonjour printer, and I can add it to the printer list without problem. When I try to print, I get a message in the print queue that there is a communications error with the printer.
    In the airport configuration window, the printer is recognized and remote printing is enabled. Any idea why printing only works from the G4?

    Thanks for your help. Yes, the driver is a universal binary and the printer works great when plugged directly into the computer. I just can't figure out why it won't work over the airport.
    Any other ideas?

  • MBPro 17 Intel Core 2 Duo Audio only works with the headphones?

    MBPro 17 Intel Core 2 Duo Audio only works with the headphones?
    There is a red light constantly emitting from the headphone socket?
    I can not listen to sound unless headphones are plugged in - when taken out I get a red light and the volume controls kets seem locked?
    Please help!

    Hi Kitty.
    Seems to be quite a popular problem. In another post, I posted the following.
    "The red light is the data signal that is transmitted if you plug in an Optical Audio device such as surround sound speakers. I had the same problem for a short while with my 17' MBP. Sound was working fine from my built in speakers but I plugged in some earphones to listen to something that I did not want the rest of the office to hear and after pulling the hearphones out, the optical signal (red light) was being transmitted. The switch Cessna is referring to is the switch that is triggered inside the port that tells OSX that earphones/optical audio device is plugged in and to shut down power to the built in speakers. When the device is un-plugged from that port, the switch should get triggered again and power up the built in speakers and disable the optical light signal. Perhaps there is the slightest defect on the earphones you are plugging in that are preventing it from triggering the switch when the earphones are un-plugged.
    Try a different sent of earphones to maybe trigger the switch if you are uncomfortable with the paper clip solution."
    That seemed to solve the problem for that user.

I have not partitioned the drive using the GUID partition scheme - i dont know what this means?!

  • I have problems with outgoing call no audio, only works with speaker. I bought my iphone on december 2011.

    I have problems with outgoing call no audio, only works with speaker. I bought my iphone on december 2011.

    Had the same problem, no audio on incoming or outgoing calls and only could hear the conversation of the call if I put on speaker. It seemed to start after I did a recent IOS update this past month. I tried restart, reset and restore of my iPhone but nothing changed. It appears not to be a software issue but a hardware problem. I got my phone this past summer so it was still under warranty and got it replaced.

  • Audio only comes from left

    I was recently trying to play my powerbook into my stereo with a direct RCA connection and I noticed that the audio was only coming out of the left speaker of the stereo. At first I thought it was the stereo but then I hooked my ipod up to the stereo and it worked fine. I hooked up to the stereo to my airport express and it produced audio through both speakers. The audio also only comes out on the left through the computer. Any ideas on what to do? Also, it is not just from iTunes the audio only comes out on the left with quicktime too.

    I was just looking around - seems like there are lots of people with this problem. I was originally looking to see if anyone had a problem with their PowerBook's audio output jack - mine won't let the headphones plug all the way in. But I'd also noticed a frequent balance problem.
    The consensus seems to be that if you adjust your sound during a period of high CPU-usage it'll lose proper balance. I ran Audio MIDI Setup (Applications->Utilities) and experimented with adjusting the volume. Lo and behold! When I would hit the volume keys on my keyboard, the sliders wouldn't move quite the same! Quite annoying. Seems that over time the difference gets greater.
    Kevin Konikowski pointed out in this thread (http://discussions.info.apple.com/webx?128@@.68b6e310) that an application called balanced exists with the sole purpose of keeping your balance at 50%. You can find it here:

    Frustrating, but much more manageable knowing what's going on!

  • Line-in audio only works in Garageband

    I have multiple audio/music apps installed. Can't get samples through my line-in via anything but Garageband; which I don't really use a lot. I use a Presonus USB audio interface when I'm in the office but at home or on the road I usually just plug in through the line-in built-in input. I literally can't get any audio to work unless I have an active track being monitored in GB. It's got to either be something I've really messed up or something incredibly simple that I'm missing (anti-feedback?). Here's all I have installed that I know of:
    Traktor
    Maschine 2
    Audacity
    Garageband
    Soundflower
    PreSonus Studio One 2 (basic)
    Have checked through system pref/midi settings/audio routing for each of these apps... any ideas?
    Thanks

    What I was expecting was other people chiming in on this with possible solutions to stream audio only. Aside from simply "buy something new" .
    If Apple makes a product that has a separate output for audio and they advertise and sell that product stating that you can use it with AirPlay to "listen to music", then to me it seems pretty obvious you don't need to turn on your television all the time to use these aspects of that product. Of course you need a power lead to watch video, that's something that has not to be said, I follow you there. If however you have to turn on your TV to simply listen to music (despite the fact that you have a dedicated output for music), THAT is imho something that needs to be said if that's the case... That's not obvious, that's just nonsense; why would you need to watch if the only thing you want to do is listen?
    Anyway, semantics aside and wether Apple does or does not state certain things, you're answers were also helpful (for which I thank you) because they made me look at this problem from a different angle.  So this morning I thought: if my TV sends a bad off/standby signal to my HDMI and that in turn is blocking my optical audio out, why don't I just unplug the HDMI cable from the Apple TV and only use the optical audio out?
    And eureka! I've been enjoying an hour of nice Airplayed music without my TV on!
    So thanks a lot for putting me on the right track and sorry if I acted a bit annoyed, but I really felt had a point here. As did you Anyway, nice to be able to have a decent online discussion without things getting out of hand and with the additional bonus that my initial problem is now solved! (which, as a final note, is something very simple that could easily be stated in the manual: "if you want to use the optical audio out of your Apple TV to stream music, it is advised that you unplug the HDMI cable to prevent unwanted standby/off signals". )
    Thanks for your help!
