Apple TV-Vizio, no sound

Does Apple TV work with Vizio L30WGU? We have the DVI to HDMI cable. Picture is fine, but no sound. No mutes are on, volume levels are turned up.

DVI is not HDMI. DVI does not carry audio, it may also not support HDCP, there may be other problems that you encounter as well by using a DVI connection. You will need to use the optical audio output from the Apple TV in order to get audio.

How do I connect Apple TV and surround sound to my projector?

My current set up is that I have a projector connected to my Blu-Ray player. My surround sound speakers connect to my Blu-Ray player. They all came in the box together and the speaker wires all go into the Blu-Ray. Everything works perfectly.
However now I have bought an Apple TV and although I can play it through the projector, the sound is only through the projector and not the surround sound. I tried plugging the Apple TV in the HDMI in the projector and then connecting the Apple TV to the Blu-Ray via optical cable, but that didn't work.
In the back of the projector there is 1 HDMI port and an audio port but no optical port
In the back of the Blu-Ray, you have the speakers, the HDMI, the audio in and the optical port.
How can I connect everything so that I can use my Apple TV with surround sound?

The manual doesn't say anything an optical port on the BD ?

Hello can some please help I am trying to watch my HBO go on my apple tv I have sound not picture. I can watch my iTunes videos and youtube so I know it works. it is working

Hello can some please help I am trying to watch my HBO go on my apple tv I have sound no picture. I can watch my iTunes videos and youtube on my airplay with my ipad and everything is updated so I know it works. But not on HBO go, Max go, showtime go.

What you want to do does not work with an iPd running iOS 5. See the screenshot.
The latest update for HBO GO does allow for AirPlay on Apple TV - sound and video - but only on devices running iOS 6 and Apple TV running 5.1.1 or later - according to the app description.

Will apple universal dock improve sound quality?

I use RCA plugs to hook up my ipod touch to my home stereo. Will adding an apple universal dock improve sound quality?

I've a 5th generation iPod 80 GB, the Composite AV cable, a Universal Dock, an Apple Remote, as well as a traditional headphone-jack-to-stereo-RCA cable I got from Radio Shack.
When I connect the Composite cable directly to the iPod, and then from there to my TV (no dock), videos play on the TV (with sound) and the iPod screen stays blank (as expected, since it re-directed the video to the TV).
When I connect the Composite cable to the dock first, then dock the iPod, I get USB power to the iPod, but the iPod does NOT see the TV - when I try to play video, the video displays on the iPod's screen instead. Also no sound. The Apple Remote works fine, however.
When I remove the Composite cable, connect the headphone-to-stereo-RCA to the 'line-out' part of the dock, connect that to a stereo, and dock the iPod I get sound, but of course no video. My Apple Remote still works as well of course. An interesting side note is that despite being labeled 'line out', I need to crank the volume to max for the sound to work correctly (a 'line out' should not be affected by the volume setting).
So... the problem appears to be the Dock. I'm gonna take my set-up down to an Apple store and see what they can do for me.

HT1586 Apple TV/Vizio sound bar

I have Vizio sound bar and tried to connect Apple TV using toslink cable.
Can't get ANY sound.
Aside from removing the nibs on the cable, what am I doing wrong?

It's not the soundbar it's the Apple TV settings. Go to the menu under audio/Video look for Dolby Digital and change to off, this will do the trick. Some have said that the audio output needs to be on 16 bit as well but mine wasn't changed and it works great. I use a Vizio VSB210 soundbar with wireless Sub.

Apple TV (atv) no sound via optical or analog BUT sound through HDMI

Hi all,
This is my first post into the forums. I spent some time searching for problems with Apple TV audio and as a result I think I already know the answer to my question, but would appreciate a second opinion.
My Apple TV is about 1.5 years old (no AppleCare) and has been working fine up until last week. I am using two audio connections:
1) HDMI to the TV (with tiny speakers)
2) digital optical out to the receiver (with bigger speakers... receiver has no HDMI input)
We've been watching videos (youtube, etc) through the TV speakers (over HDMI) for a while, because we we had to keep things very quiet in our apartment. Then one day we wanted to watch a movie, so we turned on the receiver... to the overwhelming sound of silence.
Rebooted repeatedly times, pulled the power cord out, let it cool off, etc etc. Tried a restart via the diagnostic menu... still no output over optical. I tried analog... no sound there, either. I swapped out RCA cables for the analog connections, tested it with a CD player so I know that the cables are good, and the ports on the receiver are good.
So after all that troubleshooting, audio works over HDMI, but not optical or analog.
Then I pulled out the digital optical cord and looked into the port. Sounds silly, but usually there's a red light on when the ATV is on, right? (or for any device with digital optical connections, for that matter). There was no light. I looked at the end of the optical cable, which was still hooked up to my receiver. The tip of the cable was definitely lit up.
So... my guess is that somewhere within the logic board, there's some sort of component failure on the optical/analog outputs. Has anyone had this happen to them?
Now, regarding options:
I read one post in the forum that says the repair cost is approx 2/3 the cost of a new unit... ATV retails on the Apple web site for $229, which pegs the repair price at approx $151. Does that sound right to others? Having taken a look at the teardown guides, I'm sure this will be a "replace the logic board" repair, which will probably be one of the most expensive options.
Thanks very much!

I have the same exact setup as you. Fortunately for me, mine works well. I can't speak to the ATV replacement option, but I do have a suggestion. On my Denon receiver, I have to assign the optical input from the ATV to the receiver (it does not happen automatically).
Good advice...but I'd assumed they'd had it working successfully before.
This may sound simplistic, but just checking to see if you ever went through that process. Also, just curious to see if this setup ever worked for you. In reading your post, it sounds like this is the first time you had ever used your receiver with the ATV.

I am new to all this technology. I just hooked up apple tv but the sound comes only thru tv and not my sound system, any advice?

What do I need to do to make sound come thru sound system, not just tv when using apple tv?

How is the Apple TV connected to your sound system? Are you using the HDMI cable or an audio cable?

I have connected my new Onkyo TXNR626 to new Apple TV. No Sound

I have connected my new Onkyo TXNR626 to new Apple TV. I am not using video. AppTV connected to receiver via optical digital audio cable. Onkyo remote controls AppleTV on my iMac. Wireless set up and connected. No audio coming from receiver. Speakers do work. I know it sounds weird to have this system with no video but that will come later when we can do some reconfiguring. Just want to hear my iTunes on the stereo

Even tho you only want sound, you are still going to have to connect the receiver to the atv via HDMI or whatever connection works for your particular atv. Optical only wont allow the receiver to communicate

I want to buy a sound bar for my tv but want one that connects wirelessly to my apple tv, all the sound bars i have looked at do not mention this any recomendations ?

I want to buy a sound bar for my samsung tv that connects wirelessly to my apple tv so that i can listen to music through the sound bar. Are there any sound bars out there that can do this ?

I do believe that the ability for your Apple TV to airplay audio to external devices was added just in the most recent update, that was released when iOS 6 was released if I'm correct, so there might not be any that specifically mention that yet.
Since it uses AirPlay I'd assume any AirPlay compatible speaker would work, but I would look into it more before spending your money, just in case.

Apple gives response on sound loss in iMovie '11

I phoned up Apple 'Care' about the reported sound loss/sound syncing when exporting clips.
Apple are not aware of any problems with the sound on the latest iMovie update. He suggested I look at my settings, and "Search on Google".
Great help.

Watching iTunes Movie on Apple TV while streaming sound to multiple AirPlay speakers

Hi Everyone,
I bought a pair of Airplay speakers and Apple TV 3rd generation to watch my Movies in the iTunes library. Importantly, I want to listen to the movies sound on multiple Airplay speakers while watching. So far I couldn't activate the speakers, once I started the movie.
Has anyone an idea, how to do that?

Thanks a lot for your answer.
I'm doing signal processing and work with videos professionally. The audio signal is technically always separated (and extractable) from the video frames. I don't see why the audio shouldn't be possible to be distributed to different airplay clients?
Do you mean that this option is just not supported by apple? In this case, do you know if it is at least possible to stream to multiple apple TV's at the same time?

Apple TV works. Sound won't transfer between inputs

Just installed Apple TV. Everything seems to work except the sound won't work with Apple TV. It keeps playing the sound from the TV input. I see everything great. The shows on Netflix play, but the sound won't transfer

If the hardware is dead then replacing the device is the only option. A new one is $100. What did you mean by "but the cable works"?

Apple tv airplay and sound

Is it possible to use airplay on TV and have the sound on our device ?

Hi
This is not possible. When you activate Airplay, that ports the sounds to Apple TV, when you activate Mirroring, that then sends over Video.
You could do this with a Mac, and change the preferences in Sound Preferences

Apple TV quit making sound

I was using my Apple TV earlier today to play music and now it won't make sound what can I do?

The setting is not disabled, it does make sounds periodically but not all the time.

Try altering the audio output setting (to or from 16 bit)
