HT4437 Apple TV - sound only

When using Apple TV with some apps (eg Sky Go), the Apple TV icon shows only a loudspeaker and only sound, no video, is available through the apple tv. in stead the video continues to show on the iPad. I don't understand why this should be the case on some apps when others (eg crackle, BBC iplayer) have the TV icon against Apple TV and both sound and video are transferred.

Hi Peter,
Some apps don't support airplay for video content, it is up tp the app deveoper and not apple as the app has to support it.  Mirroring can get round some of these.

  • Apple TV3 and the New iPad - I  WANT to stream the sound only

    Hey guys!
    I've got the new iPad and apple tv 3 which is great together!
    I have a receiver (which is located in the living room)  with Zone2 option and also have outdoor speakers which are connected to that Zone2.
    When I sit outside i want to use my great speaker system and use the outdoor speakers using AirPlay and ATV and stream the content to my ATV but the thing is that when i do that I lose my video on the device and the tv shows my video feed.
    That of course is a problem coz I enjoy my great speakers but can't watch the video (like YouTube video or something else)...
    Is there a way to stream the sound only to the ATV?
    I found discussions of people who don't manage to stream their video to the ATV and only managed to stream their sound but that was an error and things like firmware update solved their problem...
    Found no discussions of people who TRY to stream only the sound, like I want to...
    Does anyone have an idea that can solve my problem?
    Thanks a lot in advance!!!

    It's actually very easy and doesn't even require splitting the video stream and extracting the audio track from it (which is pretty easy if you have a desktop computer).
    If you don't want to play back protected content (non-music videos purchased from iTunes Store), all you need to do is getting GoodPlayer, letting it play audio in background (Settings > Background Audio) and connect to your ATV in non-AirPlay mirroring mode. It'll happily play back the audio track of the video while you can do anything in the foreground. (Note that, in addition to GoodPlayer, other background audio-playback players may also work - it's just that I've tested GoodPlayer in this regard between my ATV3 and iPad 3. Let me know if you need more - for example, a list - info on them.)

  • HT204291 Using Azul media player app on my ipad  Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies.  Any ideas on a fix.  I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video.  It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

    Using Azul media player app on my ipad  Apple tv will only display sound but not video from movies.  Any ideas on a fix.  I set mirroring to on but it still does not display video.  It will display photos and video recorded from my iphone.

    Here are the steps for AirPlay:
    Before starting Azul from your (running iOS 5.x/6.x) home screen where have have all your apps we need to turn on mirroring
    On your iPhone 4S/5 or iPad 2 or 3, double-click the Home  Button to view your recently-used apps.
    Swipe all the way to the right to until you see the  icon.
    Note: If the icon does not appear, go to the "If AirPlay Mirroring is not visible or available on your mobile iOS device" section.
    Tap the  icon to see the list of available AirPlay devices.
    Enable AirPlay Mirroring in this menu by tapping on an available Apple TV, then sliding the Mirroring slider to ON.
    Now you should be seeing your iPad/iPhone on your TV.
    Start up Azul now and using the settings icon on the top right corner go to the option that say "TV out" ON.
    When you do that you will see an Orange screen
    Now click "Done" and play the video you want to watch and it will AirPlay

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you mean from the iTV player app, that's because iTV block AirPlay from working with their app.

  • Problem streaming sound only to Apple TV

    Apple TV with the latest software of of Nov 23
    Macbook Pro with Retina Display running 10.10.1
    - I can see my itunes lib through home sharing and is able to play movies, see photos without any issue.
    - I can mirror my desktop using airplay and play movies and music without any issues.
    The issue comes when I try to stream sound only on to Apple TV. I have the ATV connected to my audio player and stream Spotify. The sound is choppy and broken. Going against my instinct I purchased a new router (Asus RT-AC68U) which obviously was not the issue since airplay was working on when I mirror my desktop.
    After a couple of hours with apple support, I saw on the forum that some people has issues with bluetooth. I TRIED TURNING OFF BLUETOOTH AND IT FIXED THE SOUND STREAMING TO ATV. I have an apple blue tooth mouse.
    I tried both shortcuts, from preferences - sound - output and Apple TV and using Option + Sound Icon to select Apple TV instead of internal speakers. Both have the same problem.
    I hope its a software issue rather than a hardware one and it can be updated soon.

    A Follow up on this issue , bluetooth also stops AirPlay from working reliably.

  • HT201335 I am mirroring my laptop to my apple tv but only the picture comes up, the sound still come through the laptop and not the tv,  How do I correct this?

    The sound only comes through the laptop vs the TV

  • Why does my sound only come on sometimes when i get to the log in screen for World of Warcraft?

    Product: HP Pavilion dv9628nr
    Operating system: Vista
    Error Message: (i dont know if it is an error message) "No Audio Output Device Installed"
    All I did was play the latest content for World of Warcraft (Patch 4.3). I hit the mute button and it turned red. I hit "exit" and "exit now" after i was done playing and it took a long time to exit. After it was back to the very familiar screen with all the icons the sound was gone. The mute button was blue after a restart, then it started saying i didn't have a sound card when i tried looking for it. The next day i turn on my laptop and and the mute button is red when it's starting up. After it was done I unmute it and sound worked fine, but for a while. After that the sound only comes back on a few rare occasions when i get to the login screen of world of warcraft. Then after a while of walking around doing nothing, the sound is gone again, but the mixer is still there (the mixer disappears after i restart). It also doesn't let me successfully uninstall the sound driver. I restart and go to reinstall the driver on the website, but during the download it says that it's already installed and if i want to overwrite, when i hit "yes to all" the lap top beeps LOUDLY, and says the installation failed because it didn't find the device. What's going on?

    The boot ROM is static unless Apple issues a firmware update. I just checked and they never released any such updates for the eMac. Without a firmware update available, I know of no way to overwrite the current version.
    What did the serial number check show? Don;t post your serial number, just whether it fell within one of those ranges.
    The logic board issue was specifically bad capacitors. Look at some of the pic posted here:
    http://picasaweb.google.com/gdegagne/EMacCapacitorReplacement#
    Open your RAM door on the case bottom and look inside. The third picture in the web site is the view with that door open. You can see only two of several possible bad caps through the RAM door but, if those two are leaking brown goo like those in the image, I think you will have found your problem.
    I just realized you are in Tacoma. That makes the closing of the repair place I mentioned all the more sad, as your shipping costs to Eugene OR would be much less than for an eMac owner living several states away. Heck, you could have driven it to Eugene!
    Really, I'm not in the habit of preaching 'gloom and doom' but, in your case, we need to deal with the logic board issue first to be able to provide you with worthwhile help should your computer not have the "bad cap" problem. If bad caps are the problem, there is not much we can offer other than to refer you to Google to search for self-repair instructions, or to Apple Customer Relations (1-800-767-2775) to consult regarding a Repair Extension Program that was apparently shut off too early.

  • MP4 won't display on apple TV - Sound is working but no pictures

    I have converted some DVD's using Handbrake Software so I can watch them on Apple TV (using Handbrake's 'normal' default output settings).
    After converting them I added the files to itunes. When I play these files on the Macbook they are great - all good.
    When I then Synced with Apple TV the files are shown on the TV under the 'movies' menu with the names, duration and a photo of the film.
    But when I play them on Apple TV I only hear the sound - There is no pictures.
    Apple TV is connected with HDMI cable.
    Does anyone know what could be causing this to happen? All responses welcome...
    Cheers in advance!

  • URGENT!-sound only in iDVD

    this is only the second URGENT post i have ever made, so this i REALLY urgent,
    How can I have sound only in iDVD?
    can i move it to iTunes and burn a CD?
    I REALLY need an answer TODAY because this is project due tommorow
    thanks for any help

    Hi Apple - just a small addition to my instruction - in number 3, above, after selecting 'Sound to AIFF'. also in the 'use' box, choose '44.1 khz 16 bit stereo'.
    You can save that to the desktop, maybe, then in iTunes, Add to Library, then burn to CD, making sure that in iTunes Preferences, you have selected Advanced>Burning>Audio CD.
    Remember, to burn that 'song' (or whatever it is) you must place it in a Playlist.
    Let us know how you got on.

  • TS1702 I have apps with no sound only picture?

    I have apps with no sound only picture? wheel on the bus is one.

    Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound.
    Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and it's the icon far left; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
