Apple TV audio help

I Just got the new Apple TV (model MD199LL/A). My current set up is a Panasonic viera TV, directv, a panasonic home theatre system all ran through Xbox One hdmi pass through . When I hooked up the Apple TV to an open hdmi port on my tv and hooked the optical up to the optical port on the home theater, I cant seem to get both video and sound to play at the same time. I can put the tv on the hdmi channel hooked up to the Apple TV but when I switch the sound on my home theater to optical to hear the sound, the tv switches to ARC (hdmi pass through mode) and I no longer see the image, nor does any sound play.  Does anyone know a way to get both picture and sound to work at the same time? As of now I can only get the picture and sound to come out of my tv speakers when the home theater is turned off.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Does your sound system support optical audio.

  • Need Audio Help - USB External Speakers

    This should be fun!
    Need Audio Help!  My USB external speakers are recognized in Garage Band Preferences, but NOT in System Preferences. (I use the audio interface, US-144 Tascam)
    Which means:
    I can only play my speakers using Garage band and not iTunes.
    They were working in both iTunes and GB many times before.
    I see that others have had problems losing their external speakers after updating their iMac.
    I've called Apple for assistance (no help)
    Changed the order of connections
    I've shut down again, again...
    Help please

    Open System Preferences/Sound and select the USB Speakers as your Output device
    If that doesn't do as you expect, or you need to tweak them, run Utilities/Audio MIDI Setup and select them there then adjust the Format and Volume etc.

  • I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help

    I want to bring over music from my iTunes library on iMac to an ipod touch with another apple id. please help. Is this possible. In former versions of itunes this was posible. I can't find the solution is iTunes 11

    Perhaps those apps require a newer version of iOS than is compatible with your iPod.

  • After upgrading to Yosemite, my Exchange calendar no longer syncs to iCal (the Apple calendar). Help?

    After upgrading to Yosemite, my Exchange calendar no longer syncs to iCal (the Apple calendar). Help?

    That's not the point.    Before iCloud, Outlook synched with Apple Calendar and/or iCal.    With iCloud, Cal syncs with iPhone and other devices.     Outlook doesn't have to sync with iCloud (although that would certainly be nice).   It just has to continue to sync with Cal, which in turn syncs with devices via iCloud.
    But for some inane reason, it doesn't.    If this is Apple's way of forcing people to not use Office and only use Calendar and Apple Mail, they are going to stop the gains they've made in business environments.   Businesses, especially large businesses, use Outlook.   End of story.
    Furthermore, Apple's instructions for setting up or deleting iCal and iCloud accounts is complete gibberish.  And I'm a tech who has been working with computers for 32 years.   Apple used to be great at making things easy.  They now suck at it and are just as bad as Microsoft.

  • PLEASE HELP!!! My 'Apple mobile device helper has stopped working'!

    Today i bought the new 3G iPhone so i went online to download the new 7.7 iTunes software. Now when i go into my iTunes a Windows pop up appears telling me that my 'Apple mobile device helper has stopped working' and that it is diagnosing the problem. The thing is that it doesn't diagnose the problem, the same box just keeps popping up over and over again.
    I am not very computer literate and have tried everything that i can think of but nothing has worked.
    Please can someone help because i'm absolutely dying to use my new iPhone; i queued up from 6 am to get my hands on it! :0(

    I'm just a simple user. I don't know how to fix it any more than any of the other posters with this problem. I've looked around in control panel, done some poking and prodding with services and processes, and can't find a reasonable way to stop the messages without completely hosing up iTunes. I know the messages are annoying as ****, and nobody likes the idea, but sitting around and doing nothing is sometimes a whole lot better then doing something that makes it worse. See if you can find a document from Apple that tells you how to go back to the previous version of iTunes. I've seen that course of action mentioned several times for previous releases of iTunes upgrades, so the instructions for it must exist in another forum.
    I just think, from the number of posts, that Apple is going to have to get a fix out pretty quickly, because this error pretty much shuts down their products on the Windows platform. They can't afford to let it go on for very long.

  • IPad mini now terrible to use, apple support no help because warranty is up.  All cause by new ios8 update, wifi issues, many apps no longer work, apps that do work now crash regularly and sometimes take several instances and reboots to even open.

  • Can't install quicktime or itunes I recieve error code 2738.  I'm running windows Vista 32 with Service Pack 2.  I have tried old and new version of both programs.  Also, have gone through Apple's online help with no good outcome

    Can't install quicktimeor uninstall it for that matter and itunes I receive error code 2738 with both downloads.  I'm running Window Vista with Service Pack 2.  I have check for all window update.  I have gone through Apple itune help list.  Even going into cmd to do regsvr32 vbscript.dll which was successfull. Can you help...my son had to register his ipod at the neighbors house..What going on.
    Son even call apple with no help and was give Microsoft number no help there either they wanted me to call HP.....run around

    Excellent news!
    Strange how sometimes the fixit works better than the manual methods, and sometimes the manual methods work better than the fixit. It differs from Microsoft fixit to Microsoft fixit too. (Unfortunately, because these "anomalous 2738s" are pretty rare as install errors go, I don't have a good feel yet for whether or not it's the fixit or the manual method that's more likely to work in iTunes/QuickTime installation contexts.)
    Afraid I'm not very good on earbud troubleshooting, but fingers crossed the folks over at the iPod communities might be able to help:

  • I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

    I need to connect I-Mac G5 to HDMI TV, I think I need this: Video Out: mini-VGA (mirror only) to HDMI, where can I buy? Apple Bluewater no help.

    VGA is an analog signal HDMI is digital. A simple cable would not work you would need something that converts the analog signal to digital.
    A search of VGA to HDMI turned up a few possibilities but nothing specific. In any case the picture on the TV will not be very good given the source.
    You should check to see if the TV has a VGA input. Some TV's have a computer connection port and this is usually VGA.

  • Apple tv audio via airport express?

    I want to play apple tv output sound from airport express attached speaker, because my led monitor don't have any speaker
    What should I do

    Sorry, but what you are trying to do would not be possible. Instead, you would need to connect the Apple TV audio output directly to an audio receiver that supports the appropriate format based on which version Apple TV that you have.

  • Apple's Audio Units Fail Validation in Yosemite

    Why do Apple's audio units fail validation in Yosemite
    Anyone else having this problem ?
    What's the fix ?
    Even Logic Pro X 10.0.7 can't validate Apple's AU plugs.
    [Rant:  i have never been so disappointed with a Mac OS as i am with YO.  Most of my midi/audio/video programs will not work because of the validation of AU/VST plugs.  I am this close to trashing Yosemite .  It reminds me of my OS 9 days: if you even looked in the wrong direction the system stop working.]

    are there any AU plugs here, in the components folder...?

  • Itunes 10.5.3 lost my Apple TV icon: Help!

    itunes 10.5.3 lost my Apple TV icon: Help!

    This happened to us and through much trial and error, this is what we did to fix it:
    Go to iTunes ----> Preferences -------> Apple TV and see if your Apple TV is listed as streaming from there.  Remove the Apple TV.  Close iTunes.  Open iTunes.  Your Apple TV should now show under devices and ask you to set it up.  Enter the code and set it up with your iTunes.  That worked for us.  Good luck!
