Apple tv and laser audio
i have all 3rd generations of apple tvs and, literally, overinight i can't get the laser audio to work with my soundbar with any of the apple tvs. the laser is on in each device and the soundbar is working (laser audio from the cable box comes through fine). any thoughts would be appreciated.
the first part sounds more like an issue with your reciever then the atv if it plays ok with 1 set of speakers
2th it sounds more like a RCA analog cable being too long and as such get signal degradation and recieve noise

TS5150 Apple TV and DAC audio converter
I have all Apple products. I am trying to get stereo/audio from AppleTV to the DAC? The DAC line goes to an older Sony stereo receiver. Stereo will play through the TV and Uverse connection, but not when I switch over to AppleTV. I have followed some of the help guides with no results. I have also tried several different ways of hooking it up, and switching different settings? Anyone out there and audio head like me having trouble with Apple Tv to audio/stereo conversion? I am using HDMI connection to the TV. TV plays volume, but not the stereo. Apple TV audio (ITUNES) will play on my stereo across the house? I would prefer it to play on the stereo it is hooked up to if not both.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
If you are using a sound system/receiver, make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device? -
Does Apple TV and Optical Audio Connection work?
I've read several posts regarding this issue and I'm a little confused. Does the Optical Audio work on the Apple TV (generation 3), because I haven't been able get it to work. I get sound but no stereo/surround sound. Yet, using the same connection out of my Receiver for my PS3 I do get stero/surround sound. Have I missed a setting on the Apple TV?
Is there away I can check the Apple TV Optical Audio connection to see if it's working? The physical connection seems to be fine. Since the connection to A/V Reciever works, as confirmed by my PS3, I can only assume the Apple TV Optical Audio connection is faulty. Other ideas on how I might validate if the Apple TV Optical Audio connection is truly "broken."

I want to be able to run on my treadmill and watch a movie on my apple tv but hear the audio through my headphones on my iphone.
Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, that's not possible. -
Here's what I want to do. I want to put all the CDs on an external drive connected to the network (do I need a Time Machine or other Ethernet connected hard drive?) and share with everybody in the house. Then I want to be able to get the music to play through the old RCA cabled stereo. (I would need an optical audio to RCA cable, right?) Since the AppleTV and the Airport Express are about equal in cost which would be better?
Would this work?It's not quite as simple as finding an optical audio to RCA cable. Optical audio carries sound in digital format, RCA cables carry sound in analogue form. You will need something (pretty expensive) to convert digital signals to analogue.

When streaming a movie with the new Apple TV, and using a DSL Internet connection, all audio sound works, e.g., the music track, but the audio track with the actor's voices, does not work. What can I do?
Hi Brian,
Thanks restoring and restarting didn't fix my problem - i have started it fresh and still it doesn't work. Basically I press ONCE on the remote, after the machine has not had any commands for 10 minutes, and the cursor skips from one end of the menu to the other - so I can't choose network or update software etc - I sometimes manage to stop it randomly in the middle of the menu if I press on a command in the middle of the cursor skipping all the menu steps...not sure what the problem is but I have basically not used my brand new apple tv since I bought it for that reason! I should call Apple support I suppose! grrrr hate wasting time with stuff like this!
Thanks for your help though!

I have purchased an Apple TV and an Airport Express as a gift for a loved one and was under the impression that these two would not only allow for movies, videos etc would be streamed to the TV from my MacBook Pro, but also set up Airport Express with speakers and stream music from my laptop or iPhone. Is there a way for all music, including Pandora, to be streamed through the Airport Express? I can only figure out how it works with iTunes, not Pandora.
Thanks for the help!!!You might want to take a look at Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any audio source on your Mac.

I have enabled airplay from my ipad to my apple tv and I am only getting the audio and no picture?
I assume this is using an app.
Check the developer's website as many only support Audio Airplay. -

Why, after three months of apple tv working perfectly fine, is it now cutting out constantly and the audio and video out of sinc?
Playing rentals, Netflix, from local iTunes, other?
Firstly restart router and AppleTv after unpowering to see if that helps - may or may not but quick and easy to try.
Connection via ethernet or wifi? If wifi are there any new devices in the house which may be causing interference or new neighbouring networks? If feasible try to eliminate wifi issues by using an ethernet connection.

HT202157 Rented movie on ipad and only audio would come through on my Apple TV. What is wrong?
I Rented a movie on my ipad and tried AirPlay on Apple TV but only audio came through how can I watch video too?
Previews and trailers do not contain 5.1 audio.
If you have recently moved your setup, you may have inadvertently changed some of the settings on your receiver. It certainly sounds as though it is unable to play the 5.1 audio from the Apple TV. -
I purchased an Apple TV and am pleased except I have Amazon prime and I am able to get audio but no video on the TV screen. I get audio and video on other sites so what am I doing wrong?
That is normal. The developer has to enable this, Amazon has chosen not to.

My apple TV is connected to a DTV with an HDMI cable and to my Yamaha receiver via optic cable. We rented a movie on Apple TV and.found that the movie played, but we only got audio for music tracks. Voice tracks were silent using both TV and receiver. This only occurred on the rented video and on recorded shows on my cable DVR. previews and other content on Apple TV are fine. Any ideas??

I have windows on my mac which was installed at the apple store. I have lost audio and cannot connect to the internet on the windows side. Mac is ok. apple genius and tech support can't help me and say I need to go to microsoft. In fact the tech support was unaware that windows was loaded on by the apple retail store. Has anyone else had this problem?I recently bought fusion thinking this would help bridge between the two( as told by the genius bar) but it didn't help.Any ideas?
hey mate i used to have the same problem and i got computers maintenance guys out to fix it in the end and all it was, was the router.. got a new one and it was all good after that! i think some routers just arent compatible for some reason or another.
