How to adjust volume of Airport Express speakers on Apple TV?

Hello,
I've just setup my Apple TV (bought in November 2012).
The latest version of the firmware allows to select AirPort Express speakers as default audio output. This is great.
While watching Youtube videos or listening iTunes music, I can't find how to adjust the output volume.
I am forced to set it by using the speaker remote control which is quite frustrating.
Any clues?
I've attached a photo of the Apple TV screen while playing a Youtube video. There's an output selector. But I can't access the volume options.
Thanks a lot!

Hit "up" two times to bring up "movie menu", then hold down "select", then navigate up and over to "speakers" tab, then down to your "AirPlay speakers", then move slider to right to increase volume
DONE!!
found it here so i dont deserve the credit but you guys should know - i struggled with this for hours wondering why the streamed audio was so low

Problems with adjusting volume using Airport Express - please help!

I have set up Airport Express and I can now wirelessly play ITunes through my stereo. However, adjusting the volume is a nightmare. Using the ITunes volume control it gets so loud that the speakers almost blow despite it being on the lowest volume on the volume bar. Making it quieter (by sliding the control minutely to the left) turns the volume to so quiet I cannot hear it! How can I have a normal control of the volume. The volume control on the amplifier does not alter the volume if played via ITunes wirelessly. I have searched for volume preferences but nothing works. Any advice before my neighbours kill me?

I have mine plugged in to Tape In on a Bose Lifestyle console. The volume via the Bose remote works fine as does the iTunes slider, although it has to be said it is a little tricky to fine tune the iTunes volume level from the slider.
If your inputs are correct you should be able to use the volume control on the amp.

How do I use my airport express speakers with Spotify?

Does anyone know how to use Spotify with speakers connected to an airport express. I do not want to but the AirFoil app. Surely, the is another way.

Welcome to the discussion area, mareithree!
You'll need the 802.11"n" version of the AirPort Express to be able to "Enable ethernet clients" and connect the DVD player. Unfortunately, your older version of the Express does not allow this type of feature.

How do I use an airport express with the Apple A1121 speaker?

I have the old Apple A1121 speaker, and have only just stumbled upon the fact I could play music from my MacBookPro or other apple device through the AirPort Express wirelessly. But I don't understand how to do it? Any help would be much appreciated.

No, actually a really good question. The adapter is basically a 3.5 mm audio plug on one end and a digital optical jack on the other. It is designed to be used with a digital optical cable. Some cable providers have these in one unit. That is, the adapter is permanently attached to one end of the cable.
The following link is just one example of these types of cables/adapters.

How can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.

how can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.
I have LCD projector on one wall and connected ATV to it via HDMI.
Speakers on the other wall and connected to APXpress.

To be honest the times we've wanted to have music from more than one set of speakers, I've usually used my mac's iTunes library and controlled it either from the mac or from my phone, since they're not really the times we have any TV on anyway. I've tested AirTunes from the Apple TV but can't recall whether it worked with content from a streaming library.
Now I've got something to do.

Play DVD with audio sound via Airport Express speakers

Is it possible to play my DVD with audio sound via my Airport Express speakers?
I can play music with iTunes trough these speakers, it would be nice if I can hear my DVDs aswell.
iMac intel core duo Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Not using Front Row.
The real issue here is that audio and video stream at different speeds and it is hard to maintain sync. You know how when you hit play within iTunes it takes a while for the song to start through the speakers? It's the same with the DVD. So you'd need to work an offset into the audio when playing a DVD and it's not an exact science.
You can download VLC player and mess around with the offset, then you'll also need a program like Airfoil to be able to force audio through the airport express.
Good luck!

ITunes 7.6 on Windows not showing airport express speakers(It works on 7.5)

I have several pcs on my wireless network and have been using my WEP configured airport express speakers successfully for some time now. I have noticed however that 2 new pc's I've bought and installed the latest itunes 7.6 onto are unable to see any external speaker sets. I've looked on the forums, disabled any firewalls still to no avail. Whats frustrating is I am able to connect, configure and play music from a pc with itunes 7.5.020.
What's broken in 7.6? Can anyone help me understand why this is working on a 7.5 version of itunes and failing on 7.6?

Sorry to sound short with you Henry - it was one of the first things I checked. I cannot see anything different between the settings on the working and non working pcs other than the version of iTunes. I've scanned a few postings and think it looks like a defect. Can anyone connect to their Airport Express speakers from PCs newly installed with the latest Itunes? Does anyone have any instructions on how I can downgrade to a working version?

How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection, How do I use the airport express to connect a remote PC via ethernet cable and access the internet via wireless connection

Trying to connect my xbox to the airport express. Have wireless in home and do not have a ethernet point behind tv/xbox. How do I configure the airport express to connect to my wireless network and then the airport express can use its connection via ethernet to connect the xbox to the internet.

Is your AirPort Express Base Station (AX) a 802.11n model? If it is, you can reconfigure it as a wireless Ethernet bridge or ProxySTA. This would allow the AX to join another wireless network and have its Ethernet port enabled for wired clients, like the Xbox 360.
To activate ProxySTA, you must set up the Express to join a wireless network and then enable the Allow Ethernet Clients setting; both settings are located in the Wireless tab of AirPort Utility.

How to set up the airport express with a linksys wireless-g broadband router

I need to know if and how to set up an airport express to use to extend a home wi-fi network. I have AT&T service with a 2WIRE modem. I am using a Linksys wireless-G broadband router. I also have the new Macbook Air notebook. The airport express keeps giving me a blinking amber light even when the ethernet cable (from the modem) connected. Please let me know how to set up an extended wifi network using this system. Any help would be appreciated.

If that is all that is done, the Express would not provide more wireless coverage. Instead, it would duplicate the coverage provided by the Linksys and there would be two WiFi systems covering approximately the same area. As per my above comment, one Express connects via Ethernet to the Linksys. The second Express provides the extension.
You must have misunderstood what I was saying.
Linksys is providing a wireless network.
The Express is connected to one of the LAN ports on the Linksys router using a long Ethernet cable (or Ethernet powerline adapters)
The Express is located on the other side of the house, for example.
The Express is configured to create a wireless network using the same wireless network name, security and password as the Linksys router
The Express is configured in Bridge Mode
This has worked quite well for me for years. Computers "switch" from one wireless access point to another smoothly and automatically while they move around the house.
Although this is an "extended" network, it is technically known as a "roaming" network.
This is what I was suggesting as a possible alternative without having to buy more hardware.

How can I use an Airport Express to join my wireless network and provide an internet signal to my Power Mac g5 via an ethernet cable?

I have a power mac g5 that does not have a wireless card, and connects to the internet via ethernet cable.
I want to know how to set up an airport express so that it joins my wireless home network and provides the G5 with an internet signal.
This via an ethernet cable that is plugged into the airport express and then into the ethernet port on the g5.
Please advise as I have configured the airport express in every way possible, the green light is on and when I plug the ethernet cable into the G5 my network cofigurations shows nothing and says that the ethernet cable is not plugged in (It is).
I get an internet signal if the ethernet cable is plugged directly into my wireless router, so the ethernet port works.
Please assist. Thanks.

Two requirements that must be met to do what you want.......
1) An AirPort Express 802.11n must be used. Check the Model No on the label on the side of the Express. It needs to be A1264. Any other model number will not do what you want.
2) The Express must be configured to "Join a wireless network" and the option to enable Ethernet Clients must be checked.
Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
Click the Wireless tab below the row of icons
The box to "Allow Ethernet Clients" must be checked
Please check to verify that your AirPort Express meets both requirements

I assume that you are interested in using the new Express to extend the wireless range of the other.

How can I get the Airport Express to handle all the PPPoE stuff?

Hi, I’m visiting my family in China, and now trying to help my dad, with his Airport Express and how to set up a PPPoE connection.
We have currently set up the Airport Express in bridge mode (not distributing IP adresses and selecting DHCP under the Internet tab in admin utility). The Airport settings on our two computers is set up to connect using PPPoE using the given login name and password. (ps! we can not see the Base station in Airport Admin Utility when using these settings, we would have to select a new location from the Apple menu to see it and make condigurations.)
What we want is to do, is to have the Airport Express connect to the ISP using a PPPoE connection and not through the computer.
I know there is a 'Connect using PPPoE' option in Airport admin util, letting me input account name and password. If I select this setting instead of DHCP, enable distribution of IP addresses and configure my Airport card to NOT connect using PPPoE, I will see my base station in the Airport admin util with the IP address of 10.0.1.1 (or similar) and my computer will have x.x.x.2. Next to the Airport icon in the menubar, a scrolling message will say 'Looking for PPPoE host' without anything happen. I am sure my account name and password is correct as they've both worked when using this computer to connect to PPPoE (like now)
How can I get the Airport Express to handle all the PPPoE stuff without using bridge mode?
Ps! Both me and my dad have iPhones whom we can’t seem to get to connect unless its been distributed an IP address cause there's as fars as I know, no options of inputing a PPPoE user name and password.

Any solutions to this? I'm in China also, in Beijing, trying to get my Airport Express to work with an ADSL modem.
Direct ethernet cable connection to my Macbook works fine.
When I configure the Airport Express with the ID and password that seems to be fine also – Airport Express shows a green light.
But I cannot figure out the settings to connect wirelessly from my Macbook to the Airport Express. I get a constantly scolling message: "Looking for PPPoEhost..."
thanks

I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time. Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out.

I have qualitynet either wired internet. I buy a card good for a month at a time, I can only log into one device at any one time. Are there settings I can adjust on my airport express to allow all my devices to connect to wi-fi without having to log out of one devise before using another?

Some Internet providers that limit access to a single device at a time do so by the device's hardware MAC address. If your ISP is one of those, you may be able to substitute the MAC address of your AirPort Express base station for the computer. I would suggest that you contact them to find out if this is allowable.
