160GB ATV Warning: Audio must be reset

This is a rather new Apple TV, about 3 weeks. I've had to factory reset it, and reset it several times now. The latest problem that just started is when I play a video, Either a purchased TV show, or video podcast, any video. I get a warning to turn down the volume because the Apple TV must reset it. And an OK button. I can't click that button via my iPhone Remote, have to use the IR remote.
So I click OK, and the video plays. If I play a second video, same thing. If I play a music playlist no such error.
This is the latest version 3 of the software, new ATV, Wireless N,
I've run diagnostics, and found no problem.
Before last reset I had a different problem. It would go to the home screen, but never load anytying further with any remote, finally ask me to set it up again. I think I set it up 4 times, then did a factory reset/restore.
Before that it would just pause a few seconds every hour or so of play, then continue on like there was no problem. Almost like a slow DVD player switching directions.
Should I take it into the apple store? Really hate going in there if I can avoid it.

I don't have any issues with my tv's and rarely get any error messages temporary or otherwise, however I do spend a lot of time in this forum and have never seen this error message reported before.
I'm tempted to rule out that it's a defective unit, error messages are created as text strings at the programming stage, they need typing in by engineers, they aren't simply generated by the device. For such an error message to exist, it must have been determined that there was a need for it.
How is the tv connected to your receiver, is it by optical, HDMI, or component audio. Depending on your answers, is it possible to send the audio straight to the tv for diagnostics to determine whether it might be an issue with your receiver only or the tv in general.
I'm assuming you have not installed any unauthorised modifications on the tv.

  • Why must I reset sharing password every time host computer is shut down?

    Using 10.7.5 on iMac desktop. Sharing Internet via Airport card. Every time the host computer is powered down the sharing password must be reset. Have tried using both security settings offered with same result.

    Have you disabled hardware acceleration? (not solved by reset is usual)
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    *Click the orange Firefox button at the top left, then select the "Options" button, or, if there is no Firefox button at the top, go to Tools > Options.
    *In the Firefox options window click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select "General".
    *In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. Uncheck this checkbox.
    *Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]

    I belive that the trigger is being changed on the io board, but cannot manage to reset it.
    The reset process takes in the order of 0.1 sec, and since this is a time critical application, i want to get the scanning function working again faster

    Dear Ian. Thank you for your reply. The problem appears to be that the scan trigger(s) are stopped, or something, by the use of the AI_setup instruction. The sytstem works perfectly until this instruction is used. My problem is in understanding what has happened since the help seems to give no detail on any interconnection between the scan system and the external analog trigger system. I have tried to reconnect the triggers, but so far unsucessfuly

  • Audio Output Keeps Resetting

    Fro some reason my audio setting keep resetting every time I shut my computer down. Not sure what is going on but I have to go back into System Preferences to rest them. Any thoughts?

    It is a known issue. Switch is not flipping.
    I would take it to an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider  (AASP) for evaluation, or call your nearest Apple Contact Center. Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Retail Store,  make a reservation.

    After effects warning: Audio conforming failed for thefollowing file:___________.cfa. Perhaps due to disk space.
    I am working on a project for an internship and I am editing a video I had the video files working and then I started doing some editing and animations for the video  and now for some reason when I open the file into AE I get this message so I tried starting over same message when I import the video files.

    I had this problem after converting some MPG's to avi's... the resulting filenames were 'foo.MPG.avi' ... the error message only seemed to indicate it was foo.MPG, so AE thought it was a MPG container type by parsing wrong, when it wasnt. i renamed all my files to just the avi, like 'foo.avi' and then imported into AE and it worked, no errors.

  • My ATV is stuck in a reset loop.

      We rented a move last night and it was freezing, so I did a reset of the apple tv using the remote.  After the reset, it got stuck in a reset loop.  It goes through the spinning wheel, shows the menu screen for a moment, and then resets to the spinning wheel again.  I've tried to reset ATV with remote, unplug system, reset modem and nothing works.  Please help!

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
    Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
    Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
    Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
    Open iTunes.
    Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
    (You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

  • ATV Airplay (audio only) starts then stops

    Pretty much what the subject says. I'll start audio playback from iTunes 11.0.4 to 3rd-gen ATV that is running latest OS 5.2.1. Music plays for 1-2 seconds then stops. Sometimes I can start it again, but it will stop. Usually I can't start it again. The only fix has been to reset ATV by turning off the power, waiting a minute or so, then turning it back on. Then music will play for hours until I stop it when I leave or go to sleep. A short stop doesn't have a problem but a long stop say overnight will usually cause the problem to happen again.
    This ATV is a replacement for one that had bad wifi; the old one was much worse than the replacement but the problem still happens.

    airparrot is an alt to airplay mirror
    airplay mirror is cloning what you see and hear on the mac to the tv over the appletv
    airplay audio is using airport express and appletv as remote speakers one can use multiple at the same time
    I have an appletv 1g the old alu one and an airport express so under my airplay icon right of the volume bar in the top of itunes 11.1.1 I have the options
    computer
    appletv
    airport express
    if you don't have the icon looks like this
    http://cdn.cultofmac.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/itunes11airplaymultiplecontr ol1.jpg
    then maybe your itunes is too old
    or the appletv is not present on the same subnetwork as the computer some routers keep 5Ghz and 2.4Ghz and ethernet on seperate networks and one have to bridge them
    sometimes if my appletv don't want to show up on the list I can get it to by on the appletv starting a song and then stopping it again
    my imac is 21.5" mid2011
    and it also works fine with wifes macbook pro 13" from 2009 or something along those lines

  • ATV - 'Crackling' Audio

    I recently acquired an ATV with the v1 firmware. After setting it up via HDMI and syncing with my iMac iTunes library everything was dandy and enjoying my music. Yay. I decided to give the 2.0 update a go & after installing I now experience 'crackling' audio. Almost like when to turn something up too loud and it distorts and blows you speakers up. It happens regardless of source(steam/sych'ed) and media(music/podcast/youtube).
    I've double checked my cabling, reset user settings & rebooted. Nothings really helping? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!!

    I am having the same trouble via the HMDI input to my receiver. It clearly sounds like "Digital Clipping" on the peaks of the audio.
    What is rather strange is that I have not encountered this on any Movie (local or rented), YouTube, .Mac galleries.
    It seems to be only the Music and even occurs when I listen the song off of the ITunes store. For example "Before He Cheats" clips severely in the loud parts on my local copy or playing the very same song off of iTunes, on my Apple TV. No such problem when listening to the same tune on my Macbook or Macbook Pro.

  • Thinking of purchasing ATV. Audio question.

    I have an LG Plasma that is connected to my Yamaha receiver via HDMI cable. Speaker system, DVR, and DVD player also connected to receiver.
    My TV is a few years old and has only one HDMI connection so I'll have to connect an ATV to the TV with component cables.
    1. Will sound automatically come through the surround speakers if I connect with component cables? If so, will it be 5.1?
    2. Do I need to connect anything from the ATV directly to the receiver? I'm hoping I don't have to because my TV is in the living room but all other components are in a closet and opertate with a repeater system. (It will be a real pain to have to connect an ATV to the receiver.)
    Thanks for any help.

    ripping DVDs is illegal in US (where this forum is located) and can't be discussed here (the thread will get deleted).
    the thing with syncing and the reasons i don't use it is that..
    a) it's slow as molasses and kinda buggy especially when you are dealing with files that are GB in size.. it takes hours and hours to movie around those files
    b) if you have a library of any size (i have almost 2TB of movies) you can't put all of it on the appleTV anyway (160GB is nothing) so you are forced to manage what is on or off the appleTV (pain in the butt).. if you stream, everything is there and available at any time (as long as computer is on and iTunes open)
    c) i think syncing is a good option for people who have a laptop and need to go with it but still want media available to anyone that might be at home.. other than that you can pretty much work you energy saver setting such that you computer is on long enough (i set to sleep in 3hrs), at the right time so that streaming is pretty seamless.. it's not that hard to say to your family that computer must be on and iTunes open for appleTV to work either. i find it much more of a hassle to manage what's on or off the appleTV and managing all that content than to just make sure the computer is on and iTunes open.. which is mostly the case anyway... but i can see syncing for people with laptops though

  • Ghostery settings not saved, but must be reset each time I open Firefox.

    For several weeks now I am obliged to reset all of the Ghostery settings every time I open Firefox 33.1.1. The Ghostery webpage pops up along with my homepage and all of my prior settings have been removed. The folks at Ghostery tell me the problem is at the Firefox end. Can anyone help resolve this?

    With the help of a friend I had tried that and Malwarebytes still did not detect the threat. At that point I bailed and got my computer wiped and all new software installed. I read a review on AVG antivirus that praised it for
    its' sensitivity but cautioned against "false positives" for that reason. I am beginning to wonder if it was not a false positive since it only came up when opening Firefox, but not in the full AVG scan.
    By the way I imported book marks from Firefox into Internet explorer which had never shown that warning and it began to show the warning on opening. It has me puzzled to say the least but thanks for your suggestions.

  • Warning: Audio from iMovie08 projects broken in iMovie 09

    I had 6 active projects when I upgrade. Three of them seem to be fine, but the other three dropped their audio tracks that I added. Of the three good ones, all three use audio tracks that are simply drop-in songs from iTunes -- where I selected the audio via the iMovie08 media browser.
    Of the three with issues, one of them had a custom audio track that I'm not sure I can replicate, so that may just be lost.
    The other two were simply songs I dropped in from iTunes via the iMovie08 media browser. The songs show up in the projects pane, but with a yellow exclamation point. When I click play, the movie plays fine, but with no audio.
    So, in these two projects with broken audio from an iTunes track, I simply deleted the broken link and re-dropped the same song in. Now the audio is back, but after about 20 seconds of playing, the movie gets choppy, and playback starts freezing though the audio keeps rolling. I haven't tried export, so I don't know if this impacts the final product, but it does make it unworkable to review my projects.
    Has anyone else had this issue -- where the audio link breaks and, if you fix it, it seems to mess up the video somehow.
    I put this up here both as a request for help, and a warning to others -- back up your projects before upgrading, check each project carefully for the broken audio issue, and if the audio is broken, don't think that just dragging the audio back in will fix the issue.

    I spent some time on the phone with apple today troubleshooting this issue. my projects would freeze the visual while running the audio. They had me download a short movie from apple.com (any .mov file will work). close all apps including imovie. go into home folder/movies and drag the imovie events and imovie projects folders to the desktop. this essentially erases all the info in imovie. then open imovie and make sure there is no content inside. once confirmed go to file/import/movies and import a .mov file you know is clean (i would suggest a short one to keep from spending a long time). when the movie shows up in your library select a clip and put it in a new project. does it play both audio and video? if yes the problem is with your clips. if no you have faulty software and will need to replace ilife. go back to home folder/movies and drag the imovie folders on the desktop back. it will ask you if you want to replace existing folders. say yes or continue. if the clip you tested earlier played fine you will have to reinstall ilife and rebuild all events you want to work.
    this is a pain but it works. mine is back to normal.

  • Flash Media Live Encoder 3 Audio Input Level Resets (XP)

    I am using Flash Media Live Encoder 3 on a Windows XP computer, with an Ospery-100 capture card for video and a generic sound card line in for audio input. It works fine, except for every time I launch the encoder or even just stop and start encoding (i.e. without closing the application), it  resets the line in audio level of my sound card to maximum--not good, as the appropriate setting is actually the minimum. If I don't remember to open the Windows mixer and turn it back down, the audio clips like crazy. No other application I use changes the input leve of my sound card in this way. What is happening here? Any ideas? Any solutions? Thanks.

    Have you checked volume slider position in FMLE? If it is set at 100% it would increase the audio level of sound card. Drag slider to lower value to reduce the volume level.

  • Having issues with ATV optical audio through receiver..

    Please help?!?!?
    Have ATV 2 & receiver does not have HDMI... have connected HDMI to the TV & would like sound to go through the receiver using the optical audio & won't work with both connections in... does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix???

    Both HDMI and optical audio should be active at same time.
    Check optical cable and connection is ok.
    Sometimes helps to unplug and restart the AppleTV.
    On receiver you may need to configure the input.
    AppleTV should give dolby digital 5.1 for suitably encoded movies.
    For stereo audio it will give linear PCM (16 bit 48kHz apparently not 44.1 kHz you'd expect).

  • Audio stream gets reset when it shouldn't

    Hello
    I've got 1 asset with 4 audio streams and 5 subtitle streams and according to the language choice made on the first page of the menu, the correct audio streams and subtitle streams get set. There are 10 different documentary DVDs, of these 5 are doing what they should and 5 not - the fifth language choice, Swahili, somehow resets to the first audio stream (english or original language) even though the correct subtitle stream still comes up. This when simulating and when burning the disc. When we check the info panel while simulating to see what values get passed thru the specific GPRMs, the correct values are there but as soon as one clicks on the Play button, you can see the value being incorrectly set back to the "english" audio stream. We've double checked all our settings, compared to the projects that work correctly, checked over and over to see why this could happen and there is no difference between the ones that work and the ones that don't...
    Any ideas on why this might be so?
    Corné

    Hello
    No, that was not it but I did manage to resolve the problem after literally checking every single line in every script and physically what is where. And we found that DSP does not like it if there are gaps between audio tracks. For example, one needs to stack audio tracks up beneath each other, as soon as there is one track on track 1 and then one on track 3, the audio will reset back to track 1 when clicking on a button that is set to track 3. Because we have so many languages but not all films had all the audio tracks, we wanted to keep a basic structure all the way thru so our scripts would be easy to change, therefore sometimes having empty tracks between others, but clearly this does not work.
