Airport Express Airtunes Plays But No Sound Comes Out

I have klipsch promedia 5.1 speakers which have 3 inputs, pink, green, and black. I have a piece from radio shack that converts those 3 inputs to one input with a female end. So I bought a extension mini cable with both male ends. Now when I plug my mini cable to my laptop every speaker plays fine. But when I plug it into the Airport express, it shows up in iTunes and has the song playing, but no sound comes out. Any ideas?

This is the first time I have tried to connect external speakers via my airport. I have an Airport extreme base station and an booster airport with itunes. They work fine for linking my laptops and printing, but when I tried to connect my Sony Hi fi with the mini cable and ask i tunes to use multiple speakers - first it takes a long time to try to connect - then it seems to be operating but no sound through the remote airport connection. I tried plugging in my i pod earphones to the remote airport and still got no sound. The sony mini cable output works fine with my digital radio - so that's OK.
Any ideas?

  • Voiceovers suddenly will not play. Waveforms present but no sound comes out. Suggestions?.

    Making slide show from iPhoto pics. Voiceovers working fine, suddenly stopped producing sound though waveforms are present. Using external mike but tried internal mike to no avail. Mike works fine in Dragon Dictate. Manipulated waveform every wat possible to no avail. Any suggestions? BTW is there a limit to how many voiceovers one can put in a slideshow? Total length is 10 minutes.

    Not sure why, but sometimes a project will just cease playback of Voiceovers added to it. I've seen this before, but never had it persist into a new project. As with any issues that are specific to a single project, it's usually best to start over, as one problem is quite possibly indicative of further issues down the line with that same project.
    As a workaround (if you REALLY want to avoid recreating the project) would be to copy the voiceover files from within the iMovie Project file (browse to your Movies/iMovie Projects/ folder and right-click or CTRL+Click on the name of the project, then click "Show Package Contents") for that project out to your Desktop (or any other accessible location), then drag them back in to add them as a regular audio track. I've used this trick successfully, but it's not 100% (going back to the 'one problem means more later' thing).

  • Ipod classic 160gb showing music playing but no sound with headphone headunit aux cable or hardwired car stereo

    last week i had my ipod classic 160gb plugged into my ford falcon fg xr6 ipod connectivity hardwire for the car stereo as i have had for over a year now since i only ever take it out to update music and software. i unplugged it and was using an iphone 5 in the meantime for about 2 hours while my ipod classic was updating. when i connected my ipod classic the connection is fine i can browse files and songs like normal but no sound comes out of the speakers. i thought my car was stuffed but i have tried it on alpine pioneer kenwood aftermarket units through an ipod cable which i have done hundreds of times in the truck i drive as well as tryin to connect headphones as well as an aux cable to play through the speakers all to no avail.   the ipod works fine i can scroll throught lists the seconds and minutes of the song or video roll on by so it is playing but no sound is being produced.
    if anyone could help me with this ASAP it would be greatly appreciated and i would be one grateful man to have my music back. thank you in advance

  • Using Airport Express / Airtunes to play audio from Safari / OSX?

    Just bought my first Airport Express. Can I use Airport Express / Airtunes to play out audio from Safari / OSX (or other applications) to my home stereo?

    Hi Fenneberg:
    Welcome to Apple Discussions and congrats on your AE purchase!
    You'll need a 3rd application to stream music to your AE from other applications like Safari. It's called Airfoil and it can be found at: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/
    I hope this helps!

  • Regarding an Apple TV and an existing Airport Express/AirTunes setup

    alright, i think i'm going to make the jump now for the new Apple TV. but i do have a few questions, particularly re: my existing Airport Express/AirTunes and wiring since i'm really maxed out in terms of open ports that i have left.
    —my HDMI will have to go through a new HDMI smart switch hub into my older plasma that has one HDMI input. no problem, i've researched the smart switch, and realize the Apple TV may go in the low priority input since it seems to throw a continous current. if anyone LOVES their smart switch, throw me a bone here.
    --however, i will need to go audio optical out into my receiver based on my current setup. and my receiver's optical inputs are all currently used. however, one is in use by a nearby Airport Express. since that AE has been used for AirTunes for years, i assume i can now safely ditch it's optical out since i will now be running my music through the Apple TV instead, correct? and therefore i will have my receiver's optical input now freed up, and there goes my Apple TV wire instead. just looking for verification here.
    --since this AE is right there, will I get any speed advantage to the Apple TV by dropping an Ethernet cable from the AE's output into the Apple TV's Ethernet input, rather than relying on a pure wireless signal? my assumption is no, since they are both receiving the signal from my Airport Extreme on the other side of the house, but i thought it was still a worthwhile question.
    --this particular AE has also been acting as a WiFi range extender (it's b,g,n). so i guess i will still just leave it plugged into the wall, but turn off it's AirTunes sharing, correct?
    --(side note: if i wind up not needing the AE's optical out, and i don't need it's Ethernet out, i will then be moving it across the room since i'm ridiculously tapped out of electrical outlets by my entertainment center. and that's where the Apple TV power cord will go. just a boring fyi)
    --i truly think i had another important question, but i cannot remember it. so i'll repost when it comes to me.
    so i think i know my answers, but i always learn in these forums. so any thoughts or feedback is greatly appreciated.
    thank you!

    Older AppleTV did not play well with some switches, so it'd be sensible to get advice about one that definitely works with the new unit. They may have ironed out HDMI glitches but too early to tell.

    Yes, the AppleTV will replace the Airport for optical audio duties from your iTunes library. Add an iPhone/iPas Remote app and it should work very nicely as it did with the 1st gen.

    I doubt it would be of any benefit as AppleTV has wireless n anyway.
    --this particular AE has also been acting as a WiFi range extender (it's b,g,n). so i guess i will still just leave it plugged into the wall, but turn off it's AirTunes sharing, correct?
    In that case if it's an extender you may need it on for AppleTV to pick up the wireless, though I think I'd try and see if it receives the main signal adequately first.

  • My Airport Express is green, but my computer does not find it on a scan.  I have used it before, but it just stopped working.

    My Airport Express is green, but on a scan, my computer does not find it.  I normally use it to play music from my Itunes to my house stereo speakers, and the icon shows up in itunes.  it stopped working and now my computer does not recognize it.  Help!!!  I hate listening to music on small speakers.

    Hello there Karen,
    It sounds like you are having to power cycle your modem to get internet back every single day. We can start by troubleshooting your Airport Express to help isolate the issue. I would first perform a Soft Reset, then test the issue again. If needed as a last resort I would then perform a Hard Reset:
    Soft reset
    Connect the device to power and wait for it to complete its start up process. To learn more about the start up process, please see All about Wi-Fi base station Status Lights (LED).
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip for 1 full second, then release it. The light (LED) will begin flashing amber, indicating that the device is in soft reset mode.
    From the AirPort menu bar item, choose the network created by the device (the network name does not change).
    Open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
    Select the base station, then click Edit (The Edit window will indicate that the base station is in Soft Reset mode).
    Move through the tabs to make changes to your passwords or other settings as needed, and click Update and Continue as required
    Quit AirPort Utility.
    Hard reset
    Press and hold the reset button with a pen, pencil, or straightened paperclip until you see the status light (LED) start to flash amber rapidly, which should occur after about five seconds.
    Release the button and the device will reset.
    Wait about a minute for the base station to finish restarting, then open AirPort Utility from Applications > Utilities.
    Select the base station from Other Wi-Fi Devices, then click Edit.
    Select the Other Options button.
    Select "Restore previous settings" and click Next until you get to the final window.
    AirPort Utility will indicate that Setup is complete. Click Done.
    Quit AirPort Utility.

    I received my apple tv yesterday (wednesday the 29th). I bought a new computer on september 2 and also ordered the ATV and i got next day air. I think that why i got mine so quick. the tracking said i wouldnt get it until october first. But besides that the new apple TV is so awesome. i quickly viewed all my pictures and movies from my mac, used my netflix account, you tube, and a few other features. i also got my iphone to work as the remote which is way better than the standard remote. my only problem is i want to pair my wireless keyboard and cant find out how to do it...

  • Airport Express/AirTunes Not Working with New Verizon FIOS Connection

    I was just set up with the new Verizon FIOS high speed internet, and now my Airport Express/AirTunes will not connect to my remote speakers like it did previously. The option for them is still there on iTunes, however when I select them, I get the horizontal barber pole for a minute, then the speaker selction goes back to computer.
    In more detail:
    Previously I had a Comcast internet connection which went through a Linksys wireless router. My Mini picked up the internet with this connection. Then I had an Airport Express hooked up to some remote speakers. They worked fine. Now, I have the Verizon wireless router hooked in directly to my Mini through the ethernet cable. I see the wireless network created by the Verizon router. I still see the wireless network created by the Linksys router. However, my iTunes can not connect to my AE/AirTunes speakers.
    Note, I did reset the AE and then using Airport Setup Assistant, tried to locate it again, but it came up with nothing (other than my neighbor's new Verizon router).
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Still no luck. The green light is on for the AE.
    Thanks in advance for the help.

  • Using Airport Express to play music while surfing the web via netgear

    Can I play music over my airport express (airtunes), while simultaneosly surfing via a different wireless router. As it stands I have been unable to do this, because I have to set my wireless connection to one or the other. When I link up to my NETGEAR for browsing, the remote speakers in itunes become unavailable.
    Has anyone found a solution to this?

    Hi, thanks for your help. It got me reading, and here's what I figured out:
    The problem was when I originally set the profile I had my internet cable plugged into the airport express; So the set up assistant assumed that i would be using that as my internet connection. I just had to re-setup with the airport ONLY plugged into the stereo.
    Again, thanks for your help.
