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.

  • What type of amplifier is best for streaming iTunes wirelessly via Airport Express?

    I have seen systems designed especially for computers, surround sound systems and traditional stereo systems with a receiver or integrated amp. I am just looking for clear, realistic sound reproduction for my 16,000 custom selected iTunes catalogue. My current amp is a five year old top of the line Yamaha receiver that has stereo and surround sound capabilities. I usually just use basic stereo for listening to music. It produces 130 watts per channel, and I only use it in a 12 x 14 office in my home. I'm just wondering if a true stereo amp would produce better sound and if you could really hear the difference. I just want some other opinions on this. I know all things are relative concerning sound issues, but am I just wasting my time trying to get any better sound than I already 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...

  • IMacG5 (non-Intel) - Pandora via Airport Express to wireless speakers?

    Is it possible to use access to Pandora to pump music through Airport Express to wireless speakers?

    Hi roquinman,
    Hows it going?
    I think your may be looking for a program like airfoil. It will let you send any audio from your computer to an airport express. http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/audio/airfoil.html
    Happy new year!

  • 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

  • Stream music/radio via airport express' but not using itunes

    Hi,
    I currently have 2x airport express in different rooms and I stream music etc from my itunes to them (via my airport extreme basestation). Is there any way I can stream net radio or music from other apps to it? E.g. I'd like to listen to the bbc radio player on my stereo, but it is only connected wirelessly to my airport express.
    Being able to do this would make my mac experience near perfect!
    Thanks!

  • 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.

  • HT1515 How to setup laptop use both 3G internet and audio via Airport Express

    Laptop connected to internet via 3G mobile phone network, but when connected simultaneously an Airport Express to stream audio, the laptop can not connect to internet as it try to connect internet through Airport Express. So how to setup to use both.

    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.
    I use windows 7 64 bit sp1 ; Airport Utility 5.6.1.

  • Sound of movies purchased in the iTunes store via Airport Express?

    Hi!
    Yet another question: I regularly rent movies at the iTunes store and enjoy viewing. However, some movies, particular those with an emphasis on music, I prefer to get the sound via my stereo equipment which has an Airport Express attached.
    I tried with Airfoil but this was very unsatisfactory since the sound is 1 to 2 seconds delayed from the movie - very annoying. I am almost sure that there is a way to feature the movies' sound from iTunes via the stereo sind this also easily possible with music via iTunes .... Any clues?

    Look in your Airfoil help file to learn how to use the Airfoil Video Player, a free accompaniment built right into Airfoil. It's a simple video player that enables you to play video on your Mac and transmit the audio to remote speakers in sync! Note that because Airfoil Video Player delays video to sync with remote audio playback, it's recommended only for use in conjunction with Airfoil.
    You can find Airfoil Video Player right inside of Airfoil, by selecting it from the Source menu at the bottom of the main window.

  • When playing iTunes from 2006 MacBook via Airport Express remote stereo speakers, the music keeps dropping in and out

    I've tried hours and a trip to the Apple Store to resolve this problem, and no luck so far.
    We have two Airport Expresses -- one is an older "g" version (from 2006), one is a newer "n" version (a couple of years old).
    We have one older MacBook (from June 2006) (so it can only use "g" wireless and also cannot be upgraded to OS X 10.7 "Lion").
    We have one MacBook Air and an iMac (both less than a year old), an iPad (about 2 months old), and a recently acquired AppleTV (in the past few weeks).
    We also have two iPhones that do use our local wireless network on occassion.
    We have stereo speakers that are currently connected into one of the Airport Expresses.
    For years (until the past few weeks) I played music from iTunes on my first generation MacBook to the speakers with no problems (using the older "g" Airport Express).  Recently, however, when playing music remotely over the speakers we have gotten fairly regular (though at random intervals) drops of the music in and out (drops are for a second or two each).  So far, here's what we've tried to do:
    (1)     Went to the Apple Store, where they thought the problem might be compatability between the g and n equipment in our house.  They suggested that we get an Airport Extreme and use that as the base so that 2.5 GHz and 5 GHz networks could each be set up, allowing the two systems to play nicely.  Spent a couple of hours setting everything up.  No dice.
    (2)     The skipping happens even when (a) I turn off the Apple TV; and/or (b) turn off the older Airport Express and just use the Extreme and the "n" Express (with the "n" Express as the connection to the stereo).
    (3)      When I have the wireless network drop-down menu selected on my MacBook, the skipping occurs immediately after the computer is "looking for networks" (as shown at the top of the menu).  The computer does this at random intervals on a regular basis.  The skipping, however, will occur even if the menu is not selected.
    (4)     Here's the weirdest part.  The skipping has even occured when playing iTunes from our newish iMac, with the older MacBook shut down, with the older Airport Express shut down.  In this case, the skipping only appears to occur when we have the wireless network drop-down menu selected and again, it occurs when the computer is "looking for networks" which occurs at random intervals.  In this situation, the skipping only seems to occur when the menu is selected.
    At this point, if I can't find another solution, I'm going to return the Airport Extreme, and just give up playing music over our stereo speakers from the MacBook (and instead transfer music to the iMac and play from it).  But I thought I'd try a last-ditch effort to ask for help to see if anyone could figure out what might be causing the problem.  I would chalk it up to the problems of using my old "g" network MacBook on a newer "n" system (though I'm not about to spend $1K+ to upgrade my laptop just for this), but for (4) above, which seems to indicate something else is going on.
    Any help would be most appreciated!

    Unfortunately, your description of the problem and the placement of both your main and AirPort Express routers does lend itself to believe the problem is most likely Wi-Fi interference. If it isn't the microwave or portable phones, it could be obstacles like walls between the routers that may be preventing the stream from consistently reaching the Express.
    In your configuration, the stream will first travel to the main router, and then, from the main router to the AirPort Express. If, for example, you started the stream in the same room as the Express, that stream would have to travel across several rooms at least twice.

  • 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.

  • Can iTunes stream movie audio via airport?

    Is there a way to do that? A bit disappointing when a video (even when purchased in iTunes store) is not being streamed to the airport.
    Thanks,
    andreas

    iTunes will not, mainly for synchronisation issue between audio and video. but Airfoil will allow it to you. it can virtually take the audio output of any software out to your AirTune and it works pretty well;

  • 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.

  • Streaming iTunes Movies thru Airport Express

    Hi,
    could not find an answer in earlier topics (hope I looked well).
    I am wondering: is it possible to stream movies (from my hdd) that are in iTunes via AE to my audio/video receiver? It works okay with music but before buying one, can this also work with movies?

    to do that, you need Airfoil.
    if you decide to get the app, also see this: _*Preventing audio delays while watching videos with Airfoil*_.
