2 Apple TV's and no sound output when using AirPlay/mirroring?

Hi,
Bought my first apple tv and when air mirroring was able to go to my system preferences and choose sound output for it and it worked beautifully when I wanted to play a movie on my computer and send it to the TV. Bought a second apple tv for the bedroom, both are connected over wifi. Using Mountain Lion on my iMac. Now it won't play any sound on either and will not let me choose which apple tv in system preferences - sound. Any help would be appreciated

I have tried turning Apple TV on first, then choosing sound output before turning on air mirroring. Problem is it won't let me choose, stays on internal speakers.
This fix won't work for me.

Might I recommend the following sample code instead?

6.0.1 : Apple tv lag when using airplay (mirror) on macbook pro...

Hi,
I have recently bought a new apple tv (october 2013) partly for airplay (mirror) with my macbook pro.
Since the 6.0 version when i use my macbook i have some video lag..
I updated to the 6.0.1 and since.... it's worst !
I need your help i'm becoming crazy...
1- My tv : Samsung UE40EH6030 LED 3D
2- I'm using a 2011 mac book pro 2,3 GHz Intel Core i5 with 4gb memory (10.9 Mavericks)
3- I have checked my internet connection (best canal : 11)
Thanks

Mac OS X 10.9.1 has fixed the problem for me.
Pixelation is gone.
The delay between mouse/keyboard input and display is noticible but manageable.
Streaming video works well (with audio / video just a tiny bit out of sync).

Audio output issue using Airplay Mirroring over Apple TV

I'm using the newest version of Apple TV to mirror my display from my MAC using the newest macbook pro with mountain lion 10.8.
The problem i'm having is whenever i try to change audio output in airplay mirroring mode the mirroring shuts off. I can't change outputs!! It's like it's forcing the macbook to use the apple tv hdmi port for audio. I NEED to use my USB DAC which i have connected to my MPB.
Grateful for any ideas, i did not expect the software to act as crappy as this. Using different audio sources successfully is something i took for granted.

Well, since I can't imagine this being a feature of Airplay I assume we're either hitting the limitations of the technology, or it's a bug. Knowing Apple I suspect it's a limitation of Airplay, perhaps because audio and video are sent out as an integrated stream?
I agree, this does suck, since all I have to use as audio is the tiny 1 watt speaker on my Epson projector! I can't even use audio out from the Apple TV, since all it has is that useless optical port. Very frustrating indeed.

Apple TV name followed by random number when using AirPlay

Hi, I've been having this issue for a while and it's getting on my nerves because I can't seem to find a reason and there's nothing on the internet.
Lately, whenever I use AirPlay, the name of my Apple TV in the drop-down list of devices appears like this:
There's that annoying number between brackets following Apple TV, and I've no idea why it's there. Whenever I try to use AirPlay to stream a movie, I see 188, but when I stream audio I see '2', and some time ago, number 5 appeared; they keep changing. Right now, for instance, there is no number when streaming audio (just 'Apple TV'), but sometimes that annoying number will appear.
I see the number from either my Mac or my iPhone. And just in case it's important, my Mac is connected through ethernet to a Time Capsule, and the Apple TV is wirelessly connected to the TC.
I know it's something rather silly but what bugs me the most is not having the slightest idea of what that number is or why it appears. I want to get rid of it.
Thanks in advance.

I changed my Apple TV name to Living Room Apple TV but it still has the number following the TV identification in the mirroring window. It starts at no number then gains one number at a time. If I unplug the Apple TV electric plug, then plug it back in, the number disappears - then, sometime later, starts adding the number again. Doesn't affect the Apple TV performance, just an irritation.

HT202157 when using airplay mirroring it will drop the screen be for no apparent reason. This is a new problem ;it has been working fine.

Airplay is dropping out for no apparent reason; it has ben working fine and will reconnect for a time and then drop again.

My iPad 4 does not show up on my TV screen when in AirPlay mirroring mode using WiFi. The iPad displays AirPlay set to TV with the Mirroring On (green).
My iPad IOS software is 8.2 and my Apple TV software is at 7.1. The TV displays the Apple Menu. The “Settings” does however displays the General menu allowing me to see:
Apple software: 7.1 (7003)
Apple TV: Model No. A1464, Part No. MD199B/A
Signal Strength shows 5 circles.
It does not display the iPad screen but when I use the BT Sport App I can hear the sound but there is no video. I have searched the internet for a solution to no avail. The problem first arose when the IOS was at 8.1+ but it worked correctly briefly when I updated to IOS 8.2. Can you help please?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.
If you are still having problems, the following article(s) may help you.

Macbook Pro BIOS requires at least 1 minute before the Apple logo appears and Chime sounds.

When I cold-boot my MacBook Pro, it takes a least 1 minute before I get the chime and Apple logo.
Some background on the problem:
After purchase I almost immediately installed Windows 7 on BootCamp and had no problems.
Around 8 months ago I bought a SSD drive and CD-bay kit, put the original HD into the CD bay and the SSD in place of the original HD, installed OSX on the SSD and formatted the original OSX partition, this broke the Windows install.
I tried in vain for around 2 months to repair the Windows partition without having to reinstall it to no avail, so I swapped the positions of the drives.
Since then the Windows & OSX partitions work fine, however from a cold boot it takes upwards of 1 minute before the Apple logo appears and Chime sounds, after that it behaves as expected (maybe 20-30 seconds and I'm fully booted).
Performing a soft restart behaves as expected too (Chime/Logo appear almost immediately and boot time is lightening fast!).
When I close the lid, it exhibits a similar problem in that it takes about 1 minute before it has gone to sleep and I can't do anything to wake it until that time has past.
It's not the end of the world, but it is slightly annoying, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
My guess is some kind of EFI/BIOS problem, but I can't find any other examples of this problem and have no idea how I might fix.

When in OS X go into System Preferences and Select Startup Disk. Then select the OS X entry, even though you are in OS X, and reboot.
Some times the hardware gets confused as to which OS to boot and figuring it out can take some time. Once you select the OS X partition as the OS to boot to it should startup faster.
If not then you have some other problem that I am not familiar with.
You might also want to do a SMC reset, Google for the instructions found on the Apple KB site.

How do I stop system sounds when using AirPlay on my MacBook Pro?

Hi all,
Probably a quick question, but I'm fairly new to Macs. I've a Macbook Pro 13 Late 2011 and now I've got an Apple TV, I use AirPlay. But how do I stop system sounds when using AirPlay?
Many thanks in advance, Jon.

Open AirPort Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities
From the AirPort Utility menu bar click AirPort Utility > Preferences

I can get video on airplay anytime but i cannot get audio all the time. in sound output i select airplay but it only reverts back to internal speakers. same if i try earbuds. the only way to fix it is to restart computer. what do i do to fix it,

In case anyone has had the same problem as me, I have just managed to fix this by doing the following:
Switch off Mac
Switch back on in Safe Mode (Hit power button, then hold Shift key until a loading bar appears at the bottom of the screen).
Switch off Mac again
Remove power cord and wait 15 seconds
Plug power cord back in and hold down the keys alt, cmd, p, r all at the same time until you hear Starting chime for a second time and hopefully your audio will back.

Do you get an "HDCP error"?
Since the last ATV software update, I have had problems playing You Tube content from the iPad to the ATV using airplay, yet the same content from the You Tube channel on the ATV plays fine. I get the dreaded "HDCP error" which is nonsense, as YouTube content does not have this protection. Netflix also gives the same error. (I have posted seperately about this problem.)
I have had a couple of years of fault-free playing with my setup, the only thing that has changed is the Apple ATV software. Ergo, they need to fix whatever bug they introduced. None of the recommended "fixes" have worked.

Poor sound quality when using air play

How do I fix poor sound quality when using air play with my Denon receiver?

I am not too sure if this is affected by BT software stack or RF design...
iPhone 3G with FW 2.x provides Cisco VPN as well as Email support for corporate usage. However, it's weird that business man wouldn't want to use BT headset and talk to people... We are not asking about new feature support, like A2DP, but reliable, stable BT connection ONLY!!
I've read that lots folks spent a lot of money on purchasing many different BT headsets and tried to get it work with iPhone 3G. I myself tried: Plantronics 510/815/855, Sony HBH-DS970/980, Nokia BH-903. None of them can work fine with my iPhone 3G ever! And iPhone 3G even cause BH-903 and DS-980 hang up after pairing or finishing call!!
That's why I don't believe it's just a "SPECIAL CASE". How could a product FOR BUSINESS purpose get this kind of basic function problem?
I hope we will find this issue could be resolved completely with new F/W, like Safari crash problem before. Other than this BT IOT problem, iPhone 3G is really the phone/companion could provide complete solution fulfill my personal and business needs.

Callers say my voice sounds muffled when using bluetooth.

I have a motorola bluetooth h710/h715 and as soon as I got the iphone 4, everyone is telling my I sound muffled when using it, compared to my 3gs. Anyone else have this issue?

Can a few of you help me with a test? I have a Jawbone 2 & a Jawbone Icon. Both exhibit a strange behavior with my iPhone 4. If either of these headsets are on, paired & connected AND a call is answered or initiated, things are fine.
When it all goes downhill is in this scenario:
My headset is OFF. I receive or make a call and mid-call, I decide to turn on the headset (which I keep off to save battery). The Jawbone connects and automatically switches the iPhone from PHONE to JAWBONE. This is all normal right? Okay here's the problem. The call quality has static, sounds muffled and the caller tells me I sound like I'm in a tin can. If I then switch back to the phone (through the iPhone page of Sources) and then back again, to the Jawbone, most times--quality is back to normal. Obviously this is not something we all want to be doing. Can anyone do this test with their headset .. any brand and even some of you with Icons? It would be good to know if the culprit is the Bluetooth Headset or the iPhone. Remember, it's important that you make a call with your Bluetooth headset in the OFF position and then turn it on mid-call to use it.
