Apple TV voice is not working

Hi,
Does someone have a solution for this problem?
My Apple TV is connected to TV with HDMI cable and to an amplifier with optical cable. The problem is that the voice through the amplifier is not working. It works sometimes and I can hear the voice through the speakers connected to the amplifier, but after some time the voice switches to internal speakers of the laptop. Usually I can hear the voice about 10 minutes through the speakers and after that time period the voice goes to the laptop internal speakers again.
I have tried the following:
- Updated Apple TV and Macbook Air to the latest versions
- Rebooted router and laptop
- Switching WLAN of and on again
- Reconnecting the cables
- Choosing Apple TV from the voice option instead of laptop internal speakers
- Using kill coreaudiod command in a shell (this I read from another posts where users had similar problems)
Reading from other users this is clearly a bug and a very annoing one.
Is someone able to help me? This would very much be appreciated!! I just want to listen the sound wirelessly from my laptop more than 10 minutes.
Thanks!

A lonely talk, but I continue. I believe this will benefit some users who have similar problems.
When I had the HDMI cable connected, a lot of times I couldn't choose Apple TV option for audio. The sound was heard just briefly from the external speakers (around one second) and then it switched back to the internal speakers.
Then I disconnected the HDMI cable but kept optical cable. Then the sound through external speakers lasted around 10 minutes before switching back to the internal speakers.
The problem fixed at least for a while when disconnecting all the cables including Apple TV power cord and reconnected the devices in the following order:
1) Apple TV to amplifier and TV
2) Setting up Apple TV options
3) Connecting Audio via Apple TV
This has now worked for a while even when the computer wakes up from sleep and I am able to hear the sound through the external speakers without having to connect the picture to TV. I will continue to monitor the situation, but I have a suspecion that this problem will continue after a while --> Would be nice to hear if other users have similar problems with audio and how they have enable the voice through Apple TV.

    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!

  • IPhone 2G voice mic not working

    Has anyone come across iPhone 2G voice mic not working (not being heard by the other person) but works fine on speaker phone and bluetooth headset. It has been working fine so far and suddenly developed this problem! Any help is highly appreciated….

    I had that problem with my iPhone 3G after about 5 days.
    I just had Apple take a look at it.
    They cleaned it out, called it and stuff.
    Didn't work.
    Since I didn't drop it in water and it was not my fault in any way, they gave me a brand new one.

  • I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

    I have a iphone 5 and I can login with my apple id to purchase music. However, when I try to login into icloud using the very same username and password that I use in the apple store it does not work to enter icloud, so what what gives???

    I could do that, however when I select the icloud button (or whatever the heck it is) I am asked to enter the apple id and password. So if you are suppose to create another one for icloud you'd think it would give you the option at this point which would be logical.

  • Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash wmode transparent based

    Google Voice Widget Not Working in Safari 5.1 which is Adobe flash with wmode transparent set. For that matter all flash text fields in Safari 5.1 are not working accross the web when wmode is set to transparent. This is a Safari bug! Other browsers work fine.
    Well after much research Adobe flash text field with wmode transparent set is not working in Safari 5.1 when any flash object has the wmode set to "transparent", or "opaque". The problem is many site must layer flash objects with html so the wmode transparent must be used.
    Affecting sites like BEST BUY, WALMART, CVS, STAPLES, Chechout their flash based weekly ads and find one that you need to update the quantity in the flash pop-up and the text field with keyboard strokes will not work. Flash text fields were all working fine until several month ago when Safari rolled out 5.1 working for Google Voice Flash based widget which uses the wmode transparent. HELP!

    If not working for you, try clearing your cache to remove any old, non working versions.
    Test on some other machine besides yours.
    Code looks fine and seems to work.

  • HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

    My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

    Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection.    If not, are the batteries the right way round.   Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading.   Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.

    Why is my Apple ID or password not working anymore after I reset my password?
    It keep asking my password... I have reset it, then, when I enter the new password, it's not accepted...

    Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

    As to your issue, Apple does not and never has made a wristwatch as such. The only thing close to a watch that they have made was the 6th-generation iPod nano:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1353#iPod_Nano_6G
    which has a clock feature and which some people have worn as a wristwatch. Is that what you mean?

    My apple mobile device is not working on my ipad and my itunes dosn't work now. How can I fix it?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.
