AppleTV 3rd - Update 5.2 (6025): No Audio through Airplay

Hi folks,
An acquainted of mine just updated his ATV to 5.2 (6025) and after that, no audio will play through Airplay.
ATV 3rd.
Samsung TV/ Display.
Performed troubleshooting:
1 - Restart/ Restore of ATV Software;
2 - Disabled Dolby Audio from ATV Settings;
3 - Put ATV to sleep, so it would be like a "SMC in a Mac"';
4 - Tried to research for downgrade links, which later on I discarded as a possibility (because I tested on a lab the Airplay with the same software 5.2 (6025) and it worked just fine. The only difference was the Display brand (LG in this case).
5 - At this point, the only thing I can think about is: HDMI is working for video (mirroring works properly with Macbook). I thought the HDMI might not be carrying audio signals.
Any clues or workarounds?
At the meantime I will suggest him a new HDMI cable.
Thanks.

Honestly, this is a WAG but try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

Why won't imovie stream my audio through airplay?

I'm using iMovie 10.0.1 on a MacBook Pro with Mavericks. I made a small movie with four or five songs as audio. When I use AirPlay to stream to the tv, the movie shows fine, but the audio is only coming from the MacBook speakers. Anyone know what's up?
Thanks!

Well, here's some good news!
Looks like a feature of Mountain lion that didn't make the front page solves my problem. To get movie audio over Airplay, on OSX 10.8 go to Audio and MIDI Setup app, make sure you have the Audio Setup window open (Window - Show Audio Window) and if your Airport or other Airplay device is online it should appear in the list of audio IO devices on the left hand side.
Right click on the Airplay icon and select "Use this Device For Sound Output" and away you go. iTunes (10.7 at least) seems to be smart enough to realise that it is playing audio to a streaming device and buffers the video accordingly. Viola! Glorious hifi sound sans wires.

Any app audio through Airplay no longer works on ipad2 after 5.1.1 update. Working Airplay on my iphone.

I have a working Airplay connection to my Pioneer VSX-1021 Receiver. My iPhone 3GS and iTunes on my PC connect and send audio with no issues.
On the ipad2 through the music app for instance, I am able to select the Receiver as an Airplay destination but the blue Airplay icon soon goes white and it defaults back to iPad. The scrub bar and time counter never advance. Similar results with Garage Band. Settings on ipad and iphone are the same.
I have noticed this since upgrading to 5.1.1 but it could have been this way prior to the upgrade.
Any ideas?

How do I play TV audio through AirPlay?

I have several Airport Expresses and want to the TV audio to be heard throughout my house. Specifically for sporting events when I would like the audio in the kitchen and outside to be synced with the TV in the living room.
Thanks.

I assume that you mean that you want to stream the audio output from your TV to an AirPlay speaker (AirPort Express Base Station) ... correct?
If so, unfortunately, that is not possible. AirPlay requries an iTunes source for audio. Unless the TV source is on your computer or iOS device, you will not be able to use AirPlay to stream it.

Suddenly no audio through airplay.

My ATV is plugged in to an HDMI enabled computerscreen and audio to an airport express. This has worked just fine up until now. I suddenly have no audio.
It's not the airport, I checked. Streaming from the MBP to the airport works just fine. Plays nice. It's only the ATV that isn't coming through.
Any ideas?

Welcome to the Apple community.
No, unfortunately you can only output over one AirPlay speaker at a time.

How do I get my appletv to update its itunes data?

I am streaming most of my itunes library and not syncing it. However, as I add things especially m4v files to itunes they don't show up on my AppleTV 1stgen right away. I almost always have to restart it. And even then the files won't always play on the first restart. Is there another way to get the AppleTV to update the stream without restarting? And why do some files only work after one or more restarts?

I don't have it checked. Should I?
No.
I am not syncing I am streaming.
The iTunes library database is still synced (or copied) to the Apple TV, even if the content itself isn't. Which incidentally is why you don't see the changes you make in iTunes immediately - it's still using a previously copied database.
Also, I just went into iTunes and hit sync (just for the fun of it) and I got some error message about a port/firewall problem. Checked security under prefrences like it told me to (when I clicked for "more info") and I don't have a firewall enabled and I'm pretty sure I don't have any third party firewall stuff. Now I am thoroully confused!
I bet you if you restart as you usually do, it will fix that too, but that's only a workaround and not really acceptable.
I'm inclined to think you may have network problems, but you might try unpairing the library with the Apple TV and pairing it again.

Error while updating default media player for audio files??

Ever since I received a replacement iPod Nano for my original through the AppleCare program, I frequently get the following message while syncing podcasts:
"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
How can I correct this problem?

HT4437 I was able to bring a Video from Amazon Prime to my iPad, but with Airplay got only the audio through my AppleTv. Any suggestions to get the video also (from iPad to AppleTv)?

Amazon Prime reply app does not allow video airplay - nor do several other content providers.
It must have something to do with digital rights/copyright.

Basics from the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as NEW. Unless you've tried ALL of these, you're not done troubleshooting.

AppleTV 1st Gen Sony HT-CT550W = No Audio

Here's my setup:
Xbox 360, PS3, AppleTV 1 -----> CT550W -----> Samsung TV
All connections via HDMI. Everything works with the 2 game consoles, but with the AppleTV I get video, but no sound.
If I leave the TV and Apple TV on and turn off the CT550W (allowing the HDMI signal to pass through the 550W), the TV shows the video and I get sound from the ATV through the TV speakers.
I've tried powering everything off and starting again and switching the ATV to a different HDMI input on the CT550W. Do dice. Whatever inputs on the CT550W I use, the PS3 and XBox360 work, but the ATV gives me no audio through the CT550W.
I haven't tried going component out of the ATV to the TV and optical out of the ATV to the CT550W, but I might have to if I can't get the HDMI to work. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is this with all content or just some content.

I think the problem is that the iPod got set to Manually manage music and videos. It needs to be set up for automatic syncing again. Just unchecking that Manually manage music and videos setting does not do it.
In iTunes 12, select the iPod in iTunes (using the device button), so that you see the iPod's "management" screen. In the sidebar (along left side of screen), there are two headings (Settings and On My Device). Under Settings, click on Music. To the right, you see the iPod's Music screen, where you tell iTunes how to sync songs to the iPod.
Check the box at the top for Sync Music. That turns ON automatic syncing for music. Below that, choose the option to sync Entire music library (assuming your music library fits completely on your iPod). Otherwise, you can choose the option to sync Selected playlists, artists, albums, and genres and make your selections below. Then click Apply.

Appletv not updating podcasts - has apple sold a product then dropped support after 1 year? May 2014

appletv not updating podcasts - has apple sold a product then dropped support after 1 yera? May 2014 - None of the podcasts are being updated on appletv. Running itunes 11.2 and it shows podcasts there. Apple looks more like windows every day.

Before blaming Apple, was any troubleshooting actually attempted? If so, what was done?
Or was it simply easier to jump to conclusions?

"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types"

Getting ready for a deployment of version 9.2 of iTunes for 1400+ users.
Getting this error when a 'normal' user goes into Edit/Preferences of iTunes and makes no changes.
"An error occurred while updating the default player for audio file types. you do not have enough access privileges for this operation."
I've elevated privileges of the C:\program files\itunes directory for this user to Full Control however problem remains.
Tried to modify the folder to remove 'read-only', as found this suggestion on here, but read-only keeps applying itself.
User has full rights to the location of the media as specified under Advanced Tab. If I tick 'Set as default media player' and remove tick and then click OK I do not get the error. From what I've read it's affected older versions of iTunes also.
Doe anyone have any other suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I had a similar issue. Turned out that - somehow - one of the directories or files in my iTunes music folder had gotten set to read only. Fixing it was easy.
Go to Edit/Preferences.
Choose the Advanced tab
in the General subtab select the contents of the box labeled "iTunes Music folder location"
Click Start, choose Run
Paste the location
Press the button to move up one level
Right-click the music folder, choose Properties
If this is your problem, the read-only box will be a solid color or checked. Set it to empty and choose the default "apply to folder and all subfolders and files." This will set everything in there readable, which after I did so I stopped getting the error.

Upgraded to 10.3.1.55, now can't set iT as default player,"An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types. You do not have enough access privileges for this operation." How to fix?

After I upgraded iTunes, iTunes doesn't recognize CD in the drive, apparently isn't the default player. It won't let me set iTunes as the default player, I get the error message "An error occurred when updating the default player for audio files types." I tried Whitesides' remedy (changing Read Only status in folder in Windows) but it didn't solve the problem. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Oddly enough. I think I just solved it. It looks like, for some reason, my computer has about 8 different "iTunes music" folders, and I've been saving my music to the wrong one. Neat. Music now imports and plays as it should. Copying things over is going to be so fun tonight!
