Airplay speaker settings

I am getting quite frustrated by this .... can anyone help or point me in the right direction?
My airplay speakers settings constantly default back to "Apple TV" for no apparent reason. I go through the menu settings, change them to airplay speakers .... then select my program to watch. Sometimes the settings stick and I can hear audio through the airplay speakers, sometimes the settings haven't changed and the audio just comes through the television.
Sometimes the settings stick and audio comes through the airplay speakers for awhile ..... then when I choose a different channel to watch, the settings default back to apple tv and the audio is only coming through the televsion again ....
What the what?  Anyone else experience this?
I'm up to date software-wise and I have tried resetting the system; nothing changes.
Thanks for any help!

Okay, I never did hear anything from anyone ..... boo hoo.
However, the latest Apple TV update seems to have fixed the problem; knocking wood. I'll be back if the problem happens again.
Thanks everyone!

  • HT4587 My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to wife, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?

    My airport express and wireless airplay speaker are connected to WIFI, but airplay and homesharing are not working...what to do?  Everything was working fine until about two weeks ago, all of the sudden airplay has disappeared from the iphone, itunes on the laptop, and the apple remote for iphone.  I have restarted the router many times, re-setup the airplay speaker and the airport express and booth are showing as being properly connected to the router when I log into the router IP address.  I was on the phone with Apple support for 30 minutes they blames verizon, got on the phone with verizon and they stated the settings were all correct and compatible with apple, got back on the phone with apple and they again are blaming verizon and trying to get me to get an airport extreme because that would fix the problem...any suggestions, please!

    There are three Airport resets, soft, hard and factory default.  It would probably be beneficial if you tried each one in sequence.  Actually, you could jump to the factory default reset if you don't mind reconfiguring from scratch.

  • Can an airplay speaker be a wireless client of an Airport Express used as a network extender?

    I have a wireless network with a TimeCapsule and an Airport Express. The Airport Express is used to extend the network to enlarge the wireless coverage area. I would like to use an Airplay speaker wirelessly in the area of my house that is best covered by the Airport Express. I have not been able to get the Airplay speaker to be a client of the Express. When connected it always ends up a client of the TimeCapsule, even when the Express is very near and the TimeCapsule is far away. This means that I get spotty playback on my speaker because of the weak signal from the TimeCapsule. I know I can connect the speaker with a cord to the Express and get sound but for reasons of portability I prefer to go wireless. The speaker is a Klipsch G-17 and my computer is an IMac.

    My Ipad acts differently. It will become a client of the closer device and will switch if I move from one part of the house to another.
    That is what the Klipsch speaker should do as well. I think you have a question for Klipsch support to ask them how the speaker picks a wireless access point.
    There are no settings or adjustments on your Apple devices to tell the Klipsch speaker what to do. It is up to the Klipsch speaker to select the access point that it will use.

  • Audigy 2 ZS Platinum Software Issue: Volume Control, Speaker Settings, Equalizer, C

    I installed my ZS Platinum back in December, everything worked fine for 2 months, then I started to hit trouble.
    First, the driver began hanging when I took my headphones in/out, resulting in no sound from either output. I updated the drivers and this problem went away.
    Then, I was gaming and all the sound stopped working. Reboots did nothing, so I tried to reinstall the drivers. This is how the problems began. The first time I uninstalled all my creative stuff, downloaded the newest drivers, and installed that. I didn't realize that I couldn't download all the bells and whistles off the drivers page.
    So, I unistalled those drivers, and used my CD to install the drivers and MediaSource. I encountered the PLXcore.plx error during install and every time I booted Windows. Also, none of the extra applications (Volume Control, Speaker Settings, Graphic Equalizer, CMSS) would run. I uninstalled, reinstalled and tried again.
    This is where I am now. I chose not to install MediaSource this time. Again, I encountered the PLXcore.plx error during install, but I'm not receiving the error when Windows boots (because I didn't install MediaSource?). But still, most of the little applications don't run. I see the Volume Control icon in my task bar, and if I press the mute button on the keyboard the symbol changes, but when I click on the icon, nothing happens. "Creative Volume Con..." flashes on the taskbar, and a 0px by 0px white box appears above the task bar. If I click anywhere else, they disappear. The Graphic Equalizer, Speaker Settings, and CMSS dialog do the same thing when opened. THX Console does not.
    Also, the on screen display for volume no longer pops up. Is this part of MediaSource? Should I install MediaSource even if I don't plan to use it's

    EDIT: Thought I'd add in another problem I have:
    I usally run my DISH reciever's sound through my computer through the Auxillary 2 RCA connections on my front panel. When I boot World of Warcraft or Warcraft III (Both Blizzard games), the sound through this connection becomes very tinny and reverby. If I alt+tab out of the game, adjust the speaker setting (5. -> Headphones -> 5.) the issue goes away. But each time I start one of these games, the problem returns. Any ideas? Known problem?Message Edited by Cuttlefish on 03--200703:9 PM

    I'm sorry I can't help but I have the exact same problem. I have no Speaker, EAX or graphic eq settings. No telling what else don't work. I have tryied 0 different ways of removing and loading it back with any and all updats and without and no success. I hope someone here can help us.

  • Unable to select 5.1 in speaker settings - only Front so

    Hello,
    i've got the following Problem with my Audigy 4 Pro.
    In Audi HQ->Speaker Settings im Not able to select anything besides 2. Speakers. If i click on the combobox nothing happens.
    I can activate 5. in the Windows Audio settings but after a system reboot this setting is set back automatically to "Desktop speakers".
    As a result i only hear Sound from my Front speakers.
    (I've connected the analog 5. Teufel concept e magnum with my audigy)
    The settings did work some time ago but now they doesn't (i didnt do something special besides selecting one time "headphones" as my speakers while i used them on a LAN-Party)
    No driver change or anything else.
    I really hope that this is a known problem and somebody could help me out with this. (Allthoug i didnt found anything similar with the board-search)
    Thanks in advance

    bluetooth only support bluetooth keyboards on the appletv
    Wireless
    Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n)
    Bluetooth support for Apple Wireless Keyboard (requires Apple TV software version 5.2 or later)
    http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs/
    if you can find a device which take in optical audio from the Apple TV and make it bluetooth to the bluetooth speaker then suppose it would work
    but since it would need to be configured it would need controls or a webserver like a router has so very expensive

  • Why can't the APPLE TV use AIRPLAY SPEAKER-OUT for movies/videos?

    I can't find one good explanation on why the Apple TV can't use the Airplay Speaker-Out for Movies/Video content; only for audio/music. Does anyone have any insight into this?
    For example, I have a video on my Macbook Pro (or my iPad or my iPhone) and I can stream the video via the Airport Express to my 2nd gen Apple TV, but I can't stream the audio of this video from my Apple TV back to the Airport Express and the speakers attached to it. If I had digital speakers connected to the Apple TV I assume it wouldn't be an issue, but at the moment, I only have analog speakers connected to the Airport Express... and I CAN do this with music only content, but then it becomes silly because in that case, I can just as easily stream music directly to the Airport Express from my chosen device (iPhone, et al.) without going through the Apple TV, but for video/movies, you need the Apple TV for the video; yet you can't use the Speaker-Out for the audio of that video and it just doesn't make sense, unless I am missing something...
    Any help is greatly appreciated (a google search came up with nothing useful at all.)

    It's not a flippant answer, no-one here will know for sure why Apple have chosen to do this. So in light of the fact that you won't get a definitive answer here, I suspect it doesn't matter because you aren't going to change anything, you just need to accept it.
    FWIW, I don't think licensing issues have anything to do with it. I think Apple expect you to have a sound system connected by either HDMI or optical and on that basis any connection via an airport express would be in another room and why would someone in another room want to listen to a movie without being able to see it.
    Apple differentiate themselves from others by providing features that everyone wants, they don't cripple their creativity by catering for the few like other companies. I'm sorry but I suspect you are one of the few here.

  • Unable to install EAX console, speaker settings, e

    I've had problems with audio files skipping and causing the PC to freeze. I'm down to testing the sound card. I've made sure the onboard audio is disabled in the BIOS and I updated to the most recent drivers for my Audigy 2, but I'm having problems bringing up the EAX and speaker settings.
    Those are grayed out and unavailable in MediaSource. I did the cleansweep/uninstall procedures, but I still can't get those programs to work right. I downloaded the EAX console and speaker settings, but everytime I try to run them, they quit out since the required components weren't found.
    I have my speaker settings set to 5. in Windows, but I have no sound coming from my center or surround speakers and the bass is too loud. I can't change these settings without the EAX console. What's the problem? Why can't I install/access the EAX console?

    Lots of info, but no printer model, how you are trying to connect, what operating system.....
    Say thanks by clicking "Kudos" "thumbs up" in the post that helped you.

  • Audigy 2ZS 5.1 speaker settings won't h

    I've had a problem numerous times. It involves my Audigy 2ZS (Creative) sound card. What happens is that I'll install the most recent software update (driver and Audio Console) for the card and go through the process of making sure the Creative Audio Console recognizes my card as a 5. speaker system (which it is [Creative]). I also make sure that the box is checked to synchronize with the Control Panel in Windows XP. I then make sure Control Panel is set to 5. also. Almost without fail, within a relati'vely short period of time (day/days), the Creative Audio Console has lost the setting and either has Desktop Stereo or nothing as an option that I can chose from as far as a speaker configuration is concerned. I hope that someone of you forum people can lead me in the right direction. Thanks.

    p.s. one other quickie. Should I get 5 speaker separation on all of my audio output or should I only expect it to get it on PC games?

    I'm betting it's your antivirus. Many antivirus programs block registry changes, when when you change the speaker settings, it changes them in the registry. You might check into disabling that and see if it makes a difference.
    As for when to expect 5. output, generally when you play something that is 5., you'll get 5. output. Most music for instance is stereo (2.0) so that's what you get when you play it. I suggest turning on "CMSS-3d" which will upmix stereo to 5. for you.
    Enjoy!

  • Connections to airplay speaker

    I have got a philips airplay speaker, is there anyway I can keep continuous connection to my iphone as it looses connection and have to re connect everytime?

    it loose connection while playing or do you mean you have to reconnect every time you have left your home and come back
    if the later then airplay don't work across the internet so if it were to keep trying to connect when you lost connection with your wifi then it would suck your battery dry very very very fast

  • Audigy 2 ZS speaker settings won't stay chan

    I listen primarily with headphones, so I have the speaker settings set to Headphones.
    Only problem is, whenever I restart my computer, the speaker settings change back to 2..
    Is this normal? Driver issues? Hardware problem?

    Here was my problem; I did not plug the power supply directly to the sound card. There's a spot on the top of the card for a 4-pin floppy connector. The external hub now turns on again =)

  • No rear channel playback when set to 5.1 in speaker settings?

    =No rear channel playback when set to 5. in speaker settings?I have a 4. speaker setup. It's the kind designed for computers that runs the line out into the subwoofer and splits the audio into each channel from there, unlike the standard home theater setups that run from a receiver. It's connected from the computer with two analog lines (left/right & rear left/rear right).
    The output modes available on the speaker system are stereo, stereox2, Prologic, quad, and Dolby Digital.
    I want to be able to set the speakers to Dolby Digital and and have my soundcard (X-Fi Titanium Fatalty) set to 5. Surround on the Speaker Setup screen. I believe this would support the most playback options. The problem is that when I test the audio channels I get no feedback from the rear channels. It works perfectly fine if I set the speakers to quad but won't playback the rear channels when set to Dolby Digital for some reason. I've tried disabling CMSS 3D with no luck either - Dolby[/b] or DTS soundtracks, you will need to turn CMSS off. Otherwise you might not receive each discrete channel."
    The closest I've been able to get to the optimal setting of 5. with the speakers set to Dolby Digital is to put the speakers on quad and switch to 5. in the speaker setup (and disable the center and sub channels so center gets mixed into l/r and sub gets mixed a little into each channel keeping each 5. channel broadcast even though it's a 4. setup).
    Any ideas as to why I can't get any rear channel playback with 5. and my speakers Dolby Digital?

    I'm having the same problem with my audigy 2. I reloaded my computer and installed and updated the drivers, and when I go to the pull down box in Speaker Settings nothings there. Can anyone help?
