Apple TV sound

I can't get sound from the TV when running a video from my MacBook Pro using air play. In system preferences, it will not allow me to choose apple tv in the sound window. I do get sound from itunes. Do I have to import the video to iTunes first?

Hi golfnutbob71,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you are not able to select your Apple TV as an AirPlay device in Sound preferences.
Be sure that you've restarted both your MacBook Pro and Apple TV, as mentioned in this featured discussion topic:

If you can select your Apple TV but do not hear sound, this tip may also be helpful:

My apple tv sound dosent work

4.restor
est
Im fed up please any advice

i have this same issue. The sound was working fine. I have to pause the streaming, and then when I hit play again, no sound. I have also tried, unplugging, for 30 minutes (everything: sound cable, HDMI, power, and network) then restarting. I tried switching the HDMI source. The sound works fine on the tv without the apple tv or with the dvd. Just not with the apple tv. I have updated the software. The sound doesn't work for streaming via airplay, playing anything off itunes, it doens't even have sound for the sound effects when you navigate on the home screen. I too am extremely frustrated. Google TV here we come.

Hi Aparana.rahul,
The beeps during the startup of your MacBook Pro indicate that it may need to be serviced. See this article for further information -
OS X Mavericks: If you hear beeps when your computer starts up

Note that while the article title says it is for computers running Mac OS X 10.9 Mavericks, the same information applies to other versions.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Ny new apple computers sound is gone

my new apple computers sound is gone what can i do to get it back ?

Provided you haven't muted it (F10 key, can check in System Preferences / Sound), and you have recently used headphones or any device that plugs into the jack, peek and see if there's a dot of light at the bottom.

I have switched languages to french but get the "apple" beep sound when I run spellcheck not results at all?

You need to select the text and apply:
Inspector > Text > More > Language > Français
So Pages knows what language to check it with. Language is like bold or color or font, it is part of the text style.

Midi Apple Loops sound different when dragged on to song

When ever I drag a green midi loop from Apple Loops to my song it sounds different. All the effects are gone. I tried to put som reverb on it but it doesn't sound like it does wheyn played in the Apple Loops bar.
How can I use the green midi loops from Apple Loops as they sound there with that effect. The blue audio Apple Loops works fine.
I had this same problem in Logic Pro 9

There are some differences between the audio file previews contained in the loop and the actual data, sometimes by error, sometimes intentionally so.
For instance, if you preview an orchestral instrument, you hear it with reverb, as that's kinda how it's intended to sound, but when you drag it into Logic proper, you don't get reverb - because you will have one global reverb you send all the orchestral instrument too, rather than a hundred individual reverbs on each instrument.
Stuff like that. It varies, but there's nothing broken as such.

Apple loops sound warblely

When auditioning apple loops in LP8 from the loop browser I've noticed that some loops sound warblely, as if they are being stretched out too much, even when they are playing at the original tempo. What gives?

I'm having a similar problem with my Ipod. When I put a cd in and listen to it, it sounds fine, but then when i import songs on to ITunes, the warble appears in the background for some odd reason. It also transfers on to the Ipod itself so that you can hear the warbling on the songs on the Ipod. Looked at a couple of pages that supposedly had solutions, but nothing helped. What should I do? Thanks!!!

Apple TV sound bad when home sharing from Itunes

Hello All,
When I go through the Apple TV menus to Computers and choose my library to play my music it sounds really bad. Almost a "tinny" or metallic sound and the voices sound faded back. Not sure how to fix this or if this is the best way to play my music through the TV. I do not have an airport yet (saving for a time machine) so I am running through a Verizon Fios wireless router. Not sure that is matters. Any help would be great. Thank
RJ

Check the menus to see if you have Sound Check enabled for audio - if so turn it off.
Also, try streaming using Airplay to AppleTV from itunes (equalizer and other effects will be added).

Bought movie on iTunes can't AirPlay to Apple tv Sound but no picture

Hi
I have bought an apple tv today for the main use of buying movies. I have it all connected and soon find out I can only rent not buy from the tv. So I decided to buy from iTunes on my new iPad - the HD movie, with the intention of air playing it to my tv. This works with utube so shouldn't be an issue.
Unfortunately I only get the sound no pictures come up at all. How do I fix this?

This seemed odd, since I rented the movie from the itunes store. And, in fact, once the downloading finished (it takes a long time on this old ipad( I tried again and the movie -audio and video - both appeared on my tv.

Apple TV sound is jumping every 3 or 4 seconds

When mirroring from my Macbook to apple tv, it all works no problems, but about every three to 4 seconds there is like a 1-2 second skip (like a jumping dvd). very frustrating. Any ideas?? All software is up todate.

Having same issue. Playing music from either my iPhone, my wife's iPhone, or my Macbook Pro is horrible. Sounds like a broken record/CD. It sounds like it's skipping and/or static. The stream is being interrupted. Does this when playing from iTunes, music app on iPhone, or Pandora. Thought it might be my wifi connectivity but we have no problem streaming music through the iTunes store or Netflix.
All software up to date.

MP4 won't display on apple TV - Sound is working but no pictures

I have converted some DVD's using Handbrake Software so I can watch them on Apple TV (using Handbrake's 'normal' default output settings).
After converting them I added the files to itunes. When I play these files on the Macbook they are great - all good.
When I then Synced with Apple TV the files are shown on the TV under the 'movies' menu with the names, duration and a photo of the film.
But when I play them on Apple TV I only hear the sound - There is no pictures.
Apple TV is connected with HDMI cable.
Does anyone know what could be causing this to happen? All responses welcome...
Cheers in advance!

I would recommend that you reinstall Mavericks first:

Hi there,
First of all Merry Christmas to everybody out there...
I received yesterday for christmas the latest apple TV.
I connected it to my tv with HDMI cable and to hifi, bose home cinema lifestyle 28, with optical cable.
Sound through HDMI cable is perfect but...playing music from macbook pro or iphone 4S through optical cable is a problem.
I have sound drop outs for a second now and then...
Cable is well attached on both sides...
What do i have to do?
Kind regards,
Laurent

I also have this problem... Any ideas

HT4211 apple tv sound but no video

I have audio but no video on my apple tv. I can see "now playing" listed in the music category, and can hear the audio but cannot see the video. any advise what setting or problem causes this?

If you are using Airplay to send something to AppleTV, many iOS apps only transmit sound due to restrictions.
Alternatively are you not seeing anything on teh TV (menus etc) with AppleTV connected?

Apple tv sound stops and starts

?my apple TV keeps cutting in and out after 15 or 20 seconds it cuts out audio for 1 or 2 seconds and keeps doing this.
Can you help.

Hi roy52,
I found the following information which may assist you in troubleshooting this issue:
Apple TV: Basic troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1551
If you can see video but can't hear sound
If Apple TV is connected to a receiver, make sure the receiver is turned on.
Make sure the input setting you've selected on your receiver matches the input you have your audio cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your receiver for more information.
Make sure the volume on your TV or receiver is turned up and isn't muted.
Check whether you can hear sound while playing video only. Also, check whether you can hear audio feedback while clicking through menu options.
If you're connected to the HDMI port on your TV and Apple TV, make sure your TV supports audio through its HDMI port. The HDMI ports on some older TVs support only video.
If you are using HDMI audio, try disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI cable.
If you're connected to the HDMI port on your TV and Apple TV, make sure your TV is setup to receive audio from HDMI. For some TV's this is automatic, but for others there is a choice between digital and analog (for HDMI audio, choose digital). Read more about HDMI audio.
Try the other audio outputs on Apple TV to see if they work.
If possible, try using different audio cables.
Cheers!
Matt M.
