ITunes library audio is choppy an intermittent from Macbook Pro

Question

I've seen a few posts similar to this and just want to see if there's a workaround that I'm missing.
When trying to play music from my iTunes library via home sharing on my apple tv from my Macbook Pro, audio is intermittent, choppy and sometimes won't play at all. I recently upgraded to the MBP from an iMac, and because I had both machines, I had the benefit of a control when running my test to make sure it was the MBP and not something with apple tv or iTunes. As far as I can tell, it is the macbook pro. While having both the MBP and the iMac hooked up to the same modem, same router and same apple tv, utilizing the same iTunes library, the audio would play flawlessly as it always has from the iMac. However, when I'd try to play the same music from the MBP, I get the long spinning status wheel (a sign that the audio is not going to work well), and then the the choppy audio, which makes it unlistenable.
I've tried the tricks I've seen in other posts...turned off spotlight search in system preferences, tried turning off Bluetooth on both the MBP and on Apple TV. Nothing thus far has worked.
This seems to be something connected to Yosemite and the MBP. If anyone else has a suggestion, I'd love to read about it. As it stands, I now do not have a home audio system as iTunes > Apple TV was my home system (running out to a receiver). I cut cable a few months back and have thus spent much more time listening to music at home, so this is of course quite a let down as I can no longer listen to my music. It was great on the iMac as I had a reliable, stable connection to my iTunes library. Since connecting the MBP, I now cannot listen to music, aside from the less-than-stellar iTunes radio stations on the Apple TV.

Thanks for the reply. Yes I'm aware that Apple doesn't read these, that's why I included the phrases "...just want to see if there's a workaround that I'm missing" and "If anyone else has a suggestion, I'd love to read about it." I was hoping that perhaps another user has had similar issues and discovered something that I haven't that might alleviate this problem. I've submitted a few bug reports to Apple about this, under Yosemite, Macbook Pro, and Apple TV.
