Connect apple tv using an optical audio converter
I want to connect my apple tv to my sound board. The projector has an HDMI input but I need a way to get the optical audio to my sound board which consists of XLR and 1/4" jacks. Does anyone know of a converter that will help me do this for a rather affordable price? Thanks

Can I use digital to analog optical audio converter?
My objective is not to use LCD TV internal speakers as it's really bad since the the speakers are on the back. If i use the digital optical cable and plug in to the converter, can all my DVD and other devices connected to the LCD TV play to 1 external audio source instead internal speakers?Thanks for the suggestion.
I got a bit more noise but still no coherent sound.

Dose the HDMI Cable have Audio Support or do I need to use the Optical Audio Port on the ATV?
I recently noticed that the Apple TV has an "Optical Audio" port on the back, next to the HDMI port. Before I buy one, will I need to buy a Optical Audio cable, or will the HDMI cable suply sound to the TV?
HDMI carries both audio and video. The optical port is for connecting to a receiver/external speakers.

No, the HDMI will also play audio to your TV.

How do I use the optical audio on apple tv?
I'm confused on optical plastic tab....am I supposed to beak it to insert cable?
Welcome to the Apple community.
If your optical audio cable comes with plastic caps on the end of each connector, you need to remove them in order to insert the connector into either device. Any plastic caps should simply pull off, there is no need to break anything. -
How to connect Apple TV using an application
I´m in a hotel and i want to connect my apple TV, the hotel have an aplication for connect to wi fi, how i can connect my apple TV using this feature
If you have an iPhone 4s or later and IOS 7 or later you should have the AirPlay symbol on the phone and you can mirror the iPhone's display to the Apple Tv.
See iOS: Use AirPlay Mirroring - Apple Support for complete details.
<edit>
Note with the Apple TV and IOS device need to be on the same wifi network for this to work so I'm not sure in this case, trying to connect to hotel wifi, if this will work.
If you have IOS 8 on the IOS device you might be able to use peer-to-peer networking. This lets an IOS device connect directly to the Apple TV without needing to connect both devices to a wifi network. -
How to connect Apple TV using redmere hdmi to avr?
I have an Integra DTR-40.2 AVR.
I have an Apple TV 2.
I want to use an HDMI cable with Redmere technology, but I can't seem to get my Apple TV to work correctly.
I have the TV "end" of the HDMI cable plugged into my AVR and the Source "end" in my Apple TV.
Nothing displays on my TV.
Any ideas?
Jim P.I have a Panasonic TC-P50VT25
It is connected to my AVR using HDMI1 port.
My ATV was previously connected to my AVR via the PC HDMI. It all worked just as I wanted but when I replaced the HDMI redmere cable, the ATV is connected to the source end of the cable and the TV end is plugged into my PC port on the AVR I can't get the ATV to work. -
Failed to connect Apple TV using wifi error message 22
Appreciate if someone could guide me to solve my problem to connect my AppleTV to intenet via Wifi. I received error message "There was a problem connecting to the network, check your setting and try again (22)". Thanks
Hello aznan99,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Apple TV (2nd and 3rd generation): Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4546
If you can see your Wi-Fi network, but you are unable to connect to it
Check for any obstructions and adjust the location of your router or Apple TV; also check for sources ofpotential interference.
Check the wireless security option of your Wi-Fi router.
If your Wi-Fi network uses a password, make sure you are entering it correctly.
Note: Apple TV cannot connect to networks that contain high (extended) or double-byte characters (Unicode) characters (such as Japanese, Korean, and Chinese) in the name or password.
If you are using WEP security, consider using WPA or WPA2 instead.
Temporarily disable wireless encryption or security on the Wi-Fi router to rule out encryption issues.
Note: Certain business and institutional Wi-Fi networks require special profiles to connect. See Additional Information below for assistance.
Verify that your Wi-Fi router is not using MAC address filtering or other security features that limit the number or types of devices that can connect to it.If you need to add the MAC address to the access list for the Wi-Fi router, the MAC address is listed as the Wi-Fi address in Settings > General > About.
Update your Wi-Fi router to the latest firmware.For an AirPort Base Station, refer to this article for information about firmware updates. For third-party Wi-Fi routers, check the manufacturer's website for details on updating your firmware.
If after attempting the above steps, your Apple TV is still unable to connect to your Wi-Fi network:
Restart your Apple TV: Choose Settings > General > Restart.
If you can connect to the Internet using an Ethernet connection, verify that your Apple TV is using the latest software by choosing Settings > General > Software Update. If your Apple TV can be updated, install the update and test again.
Best of luck,

Was is most interesting, is that if I watch other content like MLB TV using the sound bar and optical cable, I don't have this issue, it's all very strange. Any suggestions?
Perhaps it's obvious to you, but what would I adjust in the midi settings? There's nothing obvious that speaks to this out of sync issue.
FYI, I just plugged my JBL creatures into the audio out (same physical jack as the digital out, though of course they use different technologies) and there is no sync problem with the audio played through them. Clearly it's an issue with the digital out, just wish I could figure out if it's my stereo or something in the computer. I have no other devices that accept a digital input, so can't swap the stereo out for anything else. -
Optical audio converter to 7/8" plug audio
I bought a Sony sound bar that has a 7/8" audio plug and the only audio out on my LG TV is a optical digital audio out.
Is there anyway to hook these two up?Where did you get the idea it was a 7/8"? Can you give us the model number or a website with a picture of your product? The soundbars we sell in the store both have optical ports on them.

Does anyone use Optical Audio out to connect studio monitors?
I am planning to snatch a Mac Mini as my studio upgrade. I am also planning on buying some studio monitors (as opposed to just regular speakers). I was wondering what people use to get great, accurate results for under $600. The Mini can achieve optical audio out, apparently. Are there studio monitors that use digital, optical audio as a means to connect? How do fellow Logic home studio users have their audio out set up?

well, optical is digital (right?), so wouldnt it be the only way to get the best, uncolored sound out of a Mac? what other (better) options are there? I started this topic because I dont really notice studio monitors that use optical, and I am wondering why? Whats the downside?
Because the ones that do, are way over the budget of most people on this forum.
I have this pair :

They retail at around 1500 per pair. They are not the most expensive ones out there, rather the less expensive ones with digital inputs.

How to connect Digital Optical Audio output iMac with Receiver Input
I have connected iMac with onkyo hts-3300 home theater system receiver through optical audio TosLink Cable.( http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Optical-Audio-TosLink-Cable/dp/B001ZU3G2I/ref=sr12?ie=UTF8&qid=1292865309&sr=8-2 ). Unfortunately there is no sound coming out from the Home theater system. I have verified the Receiver optical input is working fine by connecting with my TV optical audio digital out put and the it's working great. The only difference between TV and iMac is, on my TV, it has optical audio digital output and I can use this cable (http://www.amazon.com/Tripp-Lite-A102-02M-Digital-connectors/dp/B0002WPREU/ref=s r11?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1297320792&sr=1-1) to make it work. I can also verified my optical audio TosLink Cable working because I can see the red light coming out from the cable. So the only problem could be from iMac. I doubt I need to change the additional setting to configure iMac to use external optical audio setting instead of the buit in audio setting. Hoe can I able to do it? or my iMac(IMAC 21.5"/3.06/2X2GB/500GB/9400M-ITP
MB950ZP/A) doesn't support optical digital audio out put? I have follow this thread http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=12769423� and to my surprise which doesn't work out for me. I doubt that i need to change some setting, but when I got to setting>> sound I cannot change any setting. I was quite depressed aldy. Can someone answer my question as i m a newbie here. Thanks a lotThank you very much for your reply.
@Király : May i know how to Open Audio Midi Setup? Is this Audio Midi Setup is in the locatated in the Setting in Mac Snow Leapord OS? or how to locate this "Audio Midi Setup " in Mac enviroment. Is it possible to open this Audio Midi Setup in windows 7 enviroment also? I Just want to get the audio from my iMac in Hts-3300 onkyo home theatre. YOur help is much appreciated
@rkaufmann87 : Thank you very much for your sharing about this http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/ connection. for me what i understand is the digital audio output in airportexpress is the same as the audio out put in iMac in terms of details sepcs. So this airportexpress will only help you connect wirelessly to home theatre system, rather than waired connection. Other than that nothig much difference. So there is no point for me to spend extra bucks to attain the wireless connection. Unless the airportexpress have optical digital input, which i believe not. Correct me if I m worng, thanks -
Can I use Optical Audio alongside a speakerless monitor to play audio through speakers?
I have an Apple TV 3 and so far I am relatively pleased. However.. I have no sound, this just about renders my Apple TV useless. Is it possible to use the Optical Audio cable to play sound from films, music etc. while still having the Apple TV connected to the Monitor via HDMI? Do you have any suggestions as to what speakers would be good? (looking at around £50 - £100) I was thinking of getting some of the Bose Companion 2 monitor speakers and then using a DAC to play audio from the Apple TV to the speakers. Would this work? If not, does anybody have any other suggestions?
P.S. I can't plug speakers into my monitor for some absurd, annoying reason unbeknown to societyMy ATV is connected to the tv with hdmi
My optical is connected to my stereo
I mute my tv and only play out of the stereo -
Apple TV 2 Optical Audio Issues
Hey everyone.
I'm usually a DIY kind of person, but at a certain point I just need some help. I recently bought an Apple TV 2nd gen, which I really enjoy. However, being an owner of multiple Apple devices, it's somewhat conditioned me to expect a level of fluidity with everything of theirs I buy. The problem I'm having is with the audio, and it might seem small, but it's driving me nuts.
My setup is a mut. I have a 24" or so Samsung HDTV where I have the HDMI plugged into. I use an optical audio cable to connect the Apple TV to an ancient LGDVT418 receiver, to which a Bose Acoustimass III speaker set is connected. It seems like the problem could be in the receiver, but even though it's very old, it's worked with just about anything I've hooked up to it in the past. The smaller issue is the fact that the clicking noises in the menu only sound every once in a while, a problem that doesn't happen when the sound is coming from the HDTV.
The bigger problem is the "delay" in almost everything I stream. I use quotes because as a musician, delay means there's a gap between what's being played and when you hear it. This is different. On Netflix, for example, when I start a TV show, it loads properly, but there's about two seconds before the audio actually starts playing. The video is perfectly in sync though. At first I tried to ignore it, but it's really started to bug me. This also happens with movies and TV shows on iTunes, and especially when using AirPlay from my iPhone or macbook.
Any help would be much appreciated!The manual says :
Optical digital audio port
Connect Apple TV to a home theater receiver that has an optical digital audio port,using an optical digital audio (also called S/PDIF or TOSLINK) cable
You use an adapter to connect the optical digital audio port to your Beatbox? How does that work? What does the manufacturer say about digital to analog conversion?

Can you save everything as a .psd to begin with?
I understand that a JPEG will continually get compressed the more it is saved. So am I correct in knowing that you must save an image as a .psd then edit and then save again as a JPEG? Because I then get a stack of 3 photos for each one i edit. Is
