Airplay Station OR Airport Express + audio câble?

Hi,
If i buy an Airplay Audio Station, will I need an Airport Express to broadcast music?
Thanks

The only base station with dial-up capability (in addition to traditional ethernet equipped modem capability) is the AirPort Extreme Base Station w/modem. Check the Apple Store to look over the details, and make sure you are looking at the AEBS with the modem (there is also a version without a dial-up modem which will not work in your application).

I want to set my system audio out to my Airplay speakers (through airport express)

It seems like a simple feature to have.... system preferences>audio>main output then set it to AirPort Express, but no luck... any ideas on how to route system wide audio to Airplay? It would be totally ridiculous if this is not possible.

Sending audio sources, other than iTunes, via AirPlay will require a third party solution. One of them is Airfoil by Rogue Amoeba. AirPlay starts it journey from iTunes. In turn, iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert the audio to a format for streaming to an AirPlay-enabled "speaker" (AirPort Express, Apple TV, or other manufacturer's device that is AirPlay-ready)

An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "Stereo Airport Express G". The network connection failed.

When attempting to play iTunes 11.1.2 music wirelessly from my Mac Mini to stereo speakers connected to an AE "G" I get the following message: An error occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device “Stereo Airport Express G”. However, when I attempt to play internet radio from an iPod Touch wirelessly to the same speakers connected to the same AE "G", it works fine.
Finally, when I swap out the "G" for an AE "N" connected to the same speakers Airplay works fine, both from the Mini and the iPod.
Why would the iPod connection work while the Mini connection not?

I have what sounds like a very similar issue.
I had my Denon 3312ci working perfectly with Airplay from my 2013 iMac running iTunes. Upgraded to iTunes 11.1.3, and now when I attempt to Airplay direct from iTunes to the 3312, it plays for about half a second and then stops. Displayed on the Amp then says "Assigning Network". The amp starts dropping ping packets at this point. About 15-20 seconds later the pings start coming back, but no Airplay.
I tried different network cables, resetting the microprocessor, a different switch, changing between DHCP and static IP. Was about to make a warranty call to Denon, when I thought maybe I should try Airplaying directly from iphone and ipad. Much to my surprise, it worked from those devices.
I prefer to use my iMac to Airplay rather than ipad/iphone as I found I got next to no audio drop outs using it that way (they are both using wired network), where as ipad/iphone occasionally would get a moment of silence in the middle of a song.
My network set up is fine. I can use internet radio and connect to DLNA services fine on the amp. It is just airplay between iTunes 11.1.3 and the amp where the issue lies.
No fixes as yet, but I have logged a support call with Denon Australia to see what they say.

Airport Base station or Airport express to use wirelessly for dial up ?

I have an Ibook G4 1.33 with a Airport extreme card.
I currently have it set it up to the wireless modem that my phone company provided for me for my DSL service.
Unfortunately I am moving to an area that does not have DSL service. I would like to know if I can set up my Ibook to use it wirelessly and have it connected to an Airport base station or Airport express in order to have my dial up service to work wirelessly???? So Airport base station or Aiport Express?? Many Thanks in advance- Geof

Airport Admin scan doesn't pick up base station or Airport Express

I have two airport networks (802.11n)in separate buildings. Each has an Airport Extreme Base station, an Airport Express, and a PC connected to the base station via ethernet cable. Both PCs are able to access the internet through ethernet connections to the base station.
In one network, Airport Admin run from the PC recognizes the base station and the express and allows the settings to be changed. In the other network, Airport Admin run from the PC scans and doesn't find anything. Running Airport Admin from a MacBook Pro finds everything and allows any setting to be modified.
I'm trying to stream AirTunes from the PC through the Airport Extreme and can't do so because Airport Admin can't find the network. AirTunes works flawlessly from the MacBook.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Itunes x64 Windows 8.1 Itunes 11.1.3, Itunes doesn't display airplay icon for multi speakers, it does appear when my iphone connects via airplay to my airport express being used for wireless audio. How to fix ?

Here goes, when Itunes is started (have tried pc reboot and itunes restart) no airplay icon, even though my airport express is connected to second stereo, with green light and confirmed newest firmware for device id A1264 etc. Can send audio to device and device works well.
BUT
Itunes can only see the wireless speakers when another airplay device (my iphone) pairs and PLAYS via the wireless speakers. THEN Itunes shows the airplay icon, I can then pair my PC to the wireless speakers, connect (says can't play audio because speakers are already paired), disconnect iphone airplay and then the PC connects and can play through wireless speakers.
This is a long process, some sort of glitch etc. and I figure it's an airport express thing maybe that is not announcing itself on the WIFI until it pairs to my iphone, or maybe it's a pc problem that my airplay networking via my PC is not announcing itself properly to bonjour WIFI ?
Hopefully someone can help me.
Thanks,
Laurent

Open control panel.
Choose Network and internet
Select the VIEW NETWORK STATUS TASKS under NETWORK and SHARING CENTER section
Choose wireless Network Connection or something similiar. If connected with ethernet then select it and press right button.
Click the properties button
Find Internet ''PROTOCOL VERSION 6(TCP/IPv6)'' anduncheck it, then click OK.
Click CLOSE
Restart your PC and try.
Reason For Problem
When u will use ipV6 , you have to setup your router and lan/wifi in ipv6 mode. Then bejour pass sound through ipv6 but when you use 2 mode ( ipv4 and ipv6 ) together benjour gets confuse some time it pass through in ipv6 and sometime ipv4 .if your router setup is ipv4 then, when banjour pass sound through ipv6 you will not see airplay button in itunes.
Hope it's clear to everyone .

Using Airplay with iPhone & Airport Express, outputing audio on both

Hello,
My nice new Airport Express works fine with my iPhone - awesome !
However, choosing to output audio to Airport Express stops audio on the iPhone.
I would like to continue outputing audio on the iPhone as well as the Airport express (both checked).
Is this possible ?
This way I could have a set of speakers connected to iphone in the living room and another set in the kitchen playing in unison...
I hope it's possible !
Thanks,
Dylan

Ok. Now I'm really annoyed. I bought a second airport express hoping to at least stream from the iPhone to two airports since I can't stream and play on iPhone.
Even though the iPhone sees both airports it will only play on one at a time.
How is this'playing music around your house'?
So the only way to play to multiple airports is with iTunes ?
That's literally ******** ie. the tech is fully capable but is being ******** by apple..?
Am I correct ?

ITunes 10.4 "Network Error" when Airplaying to an Airport Express

When I try selecting my Airport Express as the AirPlay destination in iTunes 10.4, I get the error message:
An error occured while connecting to the AirPlay device "XXXXX". The network connection failed.
I am able to connect to the Airport Express using Airport Utility. I can stream to the Airport Express using my iPhone. Only iTunes has the problem. iTunes can stream to an AppleTV with no problems.
Configuration:
Lion
iTunes 10.4
Airport Express/g with 6.3 firmware (tried wired and wireless configuration)
Main router is an Airport Extreme 1Gb ethernet

Same here. The funny thing is, I also have Airfoil that works fine -- I set the input as System Audio and it plays through the Airport Express just fine, so the "network" is working just fine, it is iTunes that seems to have the problem.

Airport Express audio: total washout?

I just got a new Airport Extreme base station (I had previously been using a Linksys wireless router) and Airport Express and I'm having a very negative experience trying to use the latter with iTunes (which was the main purpose of buying it in the first place).
The audio streaming from iTunes to the Airport Express doesn't play continuously. Instead, I get a few seconds of audio, followed by a few seconds of silence, followed by a few seconds of audio, and so on. It drives me nuts. When I first set everything up, it seemed to work more or less OK for the first few minutes, but then this problem cropped up and has only been getting worse -- now I'm lucky if I get 5 seconds of uninterrupted audio. When the audio drops out, the timer on iTunes stops advancing during the silence, then starts moving again when the audio restarts.
Now the tech details:
*I'm seeing this problem from both of my computers: an OS X G5 running 10.4.3 which is connected to the Airport Extreme base station via Ethernet and a Windows XP machine connecting to the network via wireless. Both are using the latest version of iTunes.
*I'm using WPA authentication on my network, and allowing both B and G connections.
*I've updated the firmware for both the base station and the Airport Express with the updates that were released today (1/4/06).
Anyone have any ideas?

Ok ... I retract my comment about 6.3. I'm not sure what happened but it eventually settled down. I did not have wireless phone or microwave operating when it happened, but I was using Bluetooth when it started (just in case that has an effect) but even after I stopped using Bluetooth, the audio was cutting out every few seconds.

HT201343 Apple Tv mirror + Airport Express audio output = How to?

I want to mirror my MacBook to the Apple Tv but I want to send the audio to the Airport Express.
If I ask my Apple Tv to send the output to the Airport, it works just fine.
If, after that, I use the iPhone to mirror the screen and watch some video on youtube or Twitch, it works fine either.
But if I use my MacBook Pro to mirror the screen, the audio output is sent to my TV through the HDMI cord.
Is that any way that I can solve this?
What I want to do is just mirror my MacBook screen with the audio coming out through the Airport Speaker.
Thanks for any help, folks!

Hi wennberginho!
I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you with this issue. If you have a 1st generation Apple TV, you will want to reference this article:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3291
However, if you are using a 2nd or 3rd generation Apple TV, you will want to reference this article:

Hope this helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!

Can I play separate music content to different speakers using Airplay via the Airport Express?

Can I play separate music content to different speakers using Airplay via Airport Express?

If you mean can you simultaneously stream different audio sources to multiple speakers the answer is no. You can only stream a single source to one or more speakers.

Airplay error with airport express and apple tv

I receive this message "An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device" when trying to play audio from iTunes on Macbook Pro to my airport express and/or apple tv. Both airport express and apple tv work fine with my iphone and ipad as well as streaming video from itunes library to apple tv from the Macbook. I have tried the previously posted solutions, but nothing has worked yet.

Airplay and Multiple Airport Express setup

New to the forums here so thanks for any help in advance. Airplay is working great on my iphone and ipad but to only one set of airport express at a time. My living room is a very long room, about 80 feet so I have an airport express at each end with speakers. On itunes on the phone I can play one set or with ipod on ipad I can also play one set of speakers but not both like on my computer. There is no multiple speaker option. I thought airplay could control multiple AE? Is this not an available feature yet? Both my AE have the latest firmware updates. Thanks again.

i have two airport express stations set up on my network with speaker attatched to both in different rooms ... When I stream from my macbook there is no problem selecting which speaker to stream to but when I stream from my ipad now that I have airplay it shows both sets of speakers and lists them both as airport express but will only play to the first one in the list even when I try to select the second one it is defaulting back to the first set and playing on that one ... I even downloaded Remote which will let me stream music from my home share library to both speakers or either one from my ipad but I want to use it with other services like hulu to stream the sound to the speakers in the bedroom not the living room. Any ideas??

Airplay mirroring with airport express

As my title says , can i use airport express to wirelessly mirror my Macbook Pro with Retina display to my tv or i need an apple tv?
Is there any other solution to use airplay mirroring without apple tv?
Thank you in advance

As a minimum you need the following for AirPlay Mirroring to work:
iPhone 4S (or later), iPad 2 (or later), iPad mini, or iPod touch (5th generation)1
Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation)
Wi-Fi (802.11a/g/n) network
For the last item, you could use an AirPort Express, but you will still need an Apple TV to get the audio/video to the TV.

Function Airport Express audio over speakers Features

I am having trouble with my Airport Extreme Base station (AEBS) and Airport Express (AE) and setting them up to play audio over powered speakers or stereo.
Any information would be helpful, as at this point It looks like I will be returning the AE to Apple.
The AE is set up by having it join an existing network, with a AEBS 802.11n as the main base.
Problems:
With iTunes, the play is sporadic and (as if a signal is being lost) and usually stops playing after a few minutes.
The distance between devices is less than 10 feet.
The play was less choppy by setting up the AE to receive directly from my laptop with no AEBS in between. However it appears to me that you are only able to be com=nnected to one wireless device at a time. In other words, I can be connected to the AEBS and internet, or be connected to the AE, but not both, unless they are set up as being server and client in same WDS.
I did try the Air Foil, and although it did play from other applications like Real player, it did nothing for the signal apparently cutting in and out. Its video player did not function at all, synchronized or not. It did play audio from iTnune downloaded video through Quicktime, but un synchronized.
My conclusion thus far is that either the AE I have is defective, or it simply is not capable of performing as advertised.
I am looking to hear if which of these scenarios is the more likely.
Not to rule out that I have some how set it up incorrectly, in which case correct instructions would be appreciated.
Thanks
Dan

Thanks for the information.
I do wish it was simpler to get clear information about the real world efficacy of products. Before discussion forum, I asked 3 One to One people about how the AE would perform and phone support about what problem was.
I have determined that with my computer being closer to AEBS, the signal is lost less (and is acceptable) than when it is further away. It is interesting that in both instances the distance of computer from AEBS, is far less than the AEBS is from AE.
My 867 is starting to fall apart (literally many cracks developing) so I am looking at newer macbook pros. I am wondering, Is the performance of the airport card better at some point in the model progression of macbooks?
