Audio via Airport Express - other non-iTune Applications?

I am blessed with a working wireless network right of the bat! iTunes will link to my stereo via Air Tunes. My other audio applications do not (Toast, Spin Doctor, Peak, ...). Should these other applications work? Is it an (old) version problem? Or is this an Apple-only capability?

You would need to use Airfoil.

  • MacBook Pro sound out to airport express other than iTunes

    Is there any way to get sound to link to my airport express other than iTune files?
    I've gotten iTunes to connect to my airport express and then toslink it to my preamp but is there any way to get audio other than in iTunes to connect wirelessly to my airport express e.g. a movie sound track or a you tube audio? I listen to internet radio through iTunes all day and it's great, but other audio, only comes out either from the MacBook Pro speakers or vie hard wire (or optical) to my sound system. Sounds so simple, and it might be, but... how?

    Sure, it's easy. Check out airfoil at http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/
    I use it with 2 airport express and also my ipod touch. The "hijack" application they pair with airfoil lets me listen remotely to just about anything I can play on my Mac. Wish I could use the ipod touch as a remote as I do with iTunes.

  • Streaming itunes audio via airport express to TV speakers

    Using imac, itunes and airport express.
    I am trying to utilize tv audio component to play music as remote speaker using itunes and airport express.
    With the tv on and approriate component selected - no sound. If I turn off TV and then back on - I get about 3 seconds of music via airport exp connection then silent.
    Any suggestions?

    I have connected airex to a sony mfm-ht205 lcd tv/display. I have used the airex monster cables stereo to dual-rca connectors to connect to tv.
    The tv has 2 video and 1 component set of jacks. Each of these has audio red/white right/left jacks for audio cords (presumably the dual end of monster cable).
    With tv off and airex connected, when I turn tv on I get music from itunes (via airex) on tv speakers for about 3 seconds then nothing.
    Thanks for response.

  • ITunes only mono / very poor quality audio via Airport Express

    I have a relatively old (3-4 years?) Airport Express, which had been working perfectly to play iTunes over my hifi system wirelessly. However after a year or two of not using it (and upgrading my OS X Tiger regularly in the mean time) I am having problems. Initially iTunes would not connect at all (unknown error -3256) so after reading various discussion posts I (a) downloaded AirPort Utility 5.3.2 for Tiger and (b) used it to upgrade the operating software on the AX unit (now 6.3 I think?), successfully I think.
    Following this iTunes finds the external hifi/speakers and music plays wirelessly through them BUT the audio quality is terrible, varying from treble only with no base to playing only out of one speaker.
    The audio quality is perfect if I plug my Mac / iTunes directly into the hifi using the same cable as that connecting to the AX unit, so I figure this must be a problem with the bandwidth/connection from the Mac to AX.
    Can someone please help me? Much appreciated.

    If it's bandwidth probelm I would expect to hear the music cutting in and out (as the AX trying to fill its buffer up and then the buffer becomes empty as not enough data coming in to fill it). Rather than becoming mono only or treble only.
    I think you should check your analog connections.

  • Bad sound quality streaming audio via Airport Express

    I am streaming audio from iPhone to Apple Airport Express (Airplay). Via optical cable the signal goes to Cambridge DacMagic and then to Stereo Amplifier. Sound is not good, there's some kind of 'chattering'.
    When using AirFoil instead of Airplay sound is much better, but then gaps appear from time to time.
    Please tell me, what can be the reason for it? And how to solve?
    Thanks in advance.

    Mr. Tessarex,
    I use the Airport Exreme as router and Airport Express (2011, direct plug-in model)
    Some facts I learned from the Airport-app on my iPhone:
    Wireless clients from Airport Extreme:
    iPhone 150Mb/s (802.11 a/n) connection: excellent
    Acer laptop 144Mb/s (802.11 b/g/n) connection: excellent
    The Airport Express:
    240Mb/s (802.11 a/n) connection: good
    I bought the song "Love Me Like You Do" (Ellie Goulding) via iTunes.
    As you adviced me I tried to play it via iTunes, and streamed it from iPhone to Airport Express.
    Especially listening to the bombastic part of the song (from 3:14). Sound was tolerable.
    Playing the song from iPhone via Spotify: sound is awfull, totally overloaded.
    Playing the song from laptop via Spotify (Airfoil): sound is good.
    Playing the song from laptop via iTunes (Airplay): sound is good.
    The song never plays 'Excellent' in any way. I Think the song was recorded 'over the top'.
    Even when you listen to it via headphone, it sounds very messy, "on the edge...".
    I am happy that most songs sound good. So far playing Spotify via laptop and Airfoil gives the best results.
    According to the figures from the Airport-app, it seems I will never get optimal bitrate with my current system.
    As amplifier I use the Luxman L505u, usually connected tot Airport Express via Cambridge Dacmagic,
    but during testing via normal analog cable (without Dacmagic). So far I think the Dagmagic is not the problem.
    What do you think, after reading my story?
    Thanks in advance

    Thanks jakeloveslucy.
    I tried to setup the network by using Airport Utility, the problem is Airport Utility can not find Airport Express while I can use Airport Express to stream music very well. Can you suggest to fix this.

  • Is it possible to get regular computer audio via AirPort Express?

    Is it possible to get regular computer audio (audio from websites, MacBook, etc.) on my speakers which are connected to my AirPort Express? Or is the only audio I can hear on my connected speakers the music that is on my iTunes?
    Just obtained AirPort Express last night and was dissapointed that only the music on my iTunes plays on my connected speakers and not the normal/regular audio from websites and/or my MacBook.

  • Apple tv audio via airport express?

    I want to play apple tv output sound from airport express attached speaker, because my led monitor don't have any speaker
    What should I do

    Sorry, but what you are trying to do would not be possible. Instead, you would need to connect the Apple TV audio output directly to an audio receiver that supports the appropriate format based on which version Apple TV that you have.

  • Apple TV2 airplay audio (via Airport Express) works well with music, but won't work with any video.

    I have an ATV2 and Airport Express connected to speakers all connected to the same network. It all works with music, but won't work with any video audio. In my ATV's settings I've selected my AirPort Express speakers. It works for music, why not everything else? Is there a fix or work around?

    Netflix is first on that list...What I mean is, if there is a feature that allows for a wireless audio connection to the Apple TV, why wouldn't the developer allow it. To keep me from enjoying a more convient connection? I can have the same listening experience on a wired connection...

  • Airport Express for non-iTunes programs

    I tried searching through the forums, but I couldn't find anything--I"m hoping I didn't miss it. Is there a way of setting up my airport to be my speakers for EVERYTHING, and not just iTunes?

    Well, not "EVERYTHING," but definitely more than iTunes. Take a look at Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil.

  • Best Practices for Using Airport Express to Stream iTunes via Ethernet

    So I've been reading various posts about using Airport Express to stream iTunes and I've been reading various posts about using the Ethernet port on the Express. However, not sure I've yet found an inclusive listing of settings for both. Wondering if anyone out there has such a thing?
    I have an (older) Aiport Express (802.11g, no 'n') running the latest Firmware (6.3, I believe). I have it lashed into my switch via a Cat 6 cable and the 3.5 stereo mini running out to RCA jacks into my RussSound (home audio system) amp. I'd like to make the Express ONLY a iTunes streaming device getting its network link over Ethernet (AirTunes). So, what does everyone suggest for best settings for turning on the Ethernet, turning off the WiFi and running AirTunes?
    Thanks much in advance!
    cheers
    cp root

    Airport > Wireless > Wireless mode "off"
    Internet > Internet connection > Connect using "Ethernet", Configure IPv4 "via DHCP"
    Music > Enable Airtunes
    Enable Airtunes over Ethernet (if this choice appears).
    When I first did this, the remote speakers didn't appear in iTunes. I poked around to see what I missed and couldn't find anything wrong, but the next time I ran iTunes the remote speakers appeared.
    If you run into a firewall problem, make sure your OS X firewall is configured to "set access for specific services and applications": http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/18503.html
    Firmware 6.3 is correct for your Express.

  • Audio drops after 10 seconds, Airport Express, Windows XP,  iTunes

    Looking for help with this.
    Playing most any song in iTunes via Airport Express. At 9 to 11 seconds into each song, the audio drops out for about 1s, then comes back and continues to the end of the song. Occasionally the audio will drop in other places within a song. Annoying to say the least.
    I have updated firmware to 6.3, and updated iTunes.
    I have also tried changing almost all the settings in Airport Admin, I have it set to 40 bit WEP encryption, "interference robustness" enabled, multicast @2, and so on. If I change these settings, the problem gets worse.
    (argh audio just dropped as I am writing this)
    I live in an apartment building with several other wireless networks visible.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Asus Z71V   Windows XP  

    Hi. I also had this problem, running Windows XP with SP2
    and the latest iTunes for Windows and the latest firmware
    for my two airport expresses. I would get a dropout from
    both expresses at around 12 seconds after a song would
    start to play. This happened for every song.
    I noticed using the Windows process monitor that the CPU would go to 100% at around 12 seconds after a song started.
    I located the process that forced this, and it was called
    'ashserv.exe'. This is the main executable run by Avast
    Secure antivirus software. I'm running the free version.
    I changed the level for avast from high level scanning to normal and my problem is gone.

  • Streaming audio to Airport Express via AirPlay?

    I have wired HDMI sending throughout my house, all my media equipment is in my lounge, Apple TV 2, PS3 and Cable TV, my audio is analogue for all but ATV2 which I just bought not realizing that there is digital audio only, d'oh!
    Sadly my projector upstairs where I want to watch my media has zero audio capabilities, video is great, audio for ATV2 is non existent.
    Can ATV2 stream audio to Airport Express? Every other iDevice I have can so I'm sure the hardware is capable, the old ATV could do this but I suspect Apple would like me to purchase an ATV2 for each room but i dont want to drop another £101 for hardware I already have.
    Thanks

    Aw, that's what I thought, thank you for confirming Rudegar. Back to the drawing board..
