Audio output keeps switching to Apple TV

My MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz doesn't support Airport Mirroring, yet every time I wake up my computer or come into range of my Apple TV it switches the audio output from my internal speakers to Apple TV. Only about 1 second of audio comes through the Apple TV, and then that stops too. I have to go into System Preferences, select a different output, then reselect "Internal Speakers" before I get audio back.
It's getting really annoying to have to do this half a dozen times a day. Any tips? Thanks!

If, If you use LogMeIn, blame their sound driver.

Using a radio app to Airplay music through my Apple TV. Works, but after some minutes, the Airplay audio output setting switches back to iPad. Why? Solution?

I want to use a FM radio app to Airplay music through my Apple TV (by using the synchronizing function). Works, but after some minutes, the Airplay audio output setting switches back to iPad. Why? Solution?
Why don't use iTunes? Because this just needs to many handling in order to get it where i want it (in general, this whole idea of doing everything online just works likes... ). An app is easier (that's why it is invented).

Hey AKfishgirl,
Thanks for the question. The common variable here is your Wi-Fi router. Let’s check to see if the commonly used ports are being blocked by a firewall on your router:

Try this First...
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...

Audio Output Keeps Resetting

Fro some reason my audio setting keep resetting every time I shut my computer down. Not sure what is going on but I have to go back into System Preferences to rest them. Any thoughts?

It is a known issue. Switch is not flipping.
I would take it to an Apple Retail Store or an Apple Authorized Service Provider (AASP) for evaluation, or call your nearest Apple Contact Center. Visit the Genius Bar at the Apple Retail Store, make a reservation.

Can you redirect the audio output of iTunes via Apple TV?

I currently have iTunes running on Windows XP with an Airport Express connected to my home stereo. I toggle the iTunes audio between my PC and the Airport Express via the iTunes speaker setting. With Apple TV, will I be able to toggle the audio output from the Apple TV interface?
Thanks,
Chaaad

No, you can use AppleTV like an Express to have audio playing in iTunes relayed to it, but you can't play something on AppleTV and direct the output to the Express.

Default audio output has switched

having only recently upgraded to tiger (yeah yeah i know i'm late) i have noticed that my internet browsers and also realplayer defaults to playing audio out of "built in audio" output and when i switch it back to my firewire 410 output it doesnt work.
is there some OS related pref that i need to alter to get my browsers to recognise my audio interface? i dont know for sure that it is moving to Tiger that has done this but it seems likely as it never did anything like that prior to the upgrade...
any ideas?

thats the problem though, coz everytime i click it back to my firewire 410 in system prefs/sound/output i get no signal!
it only outputs from the default mac output, which means i either listen through that tiny speaker on the front, or have to run a mini jack out of that socket back into my desk.
the sound is awful though, really noisy and clipped. sounds like it was run through logics bitcrusher a couple of times..

When I am using internet it keeps switching to apple apps?

When I am on my iPhone and iPad and using safari I touch something on the page and it sends me to apple apps?

Many websites also have an app available to use instead of the website. There is often a link on the page that will take you to the app in the App Store so you can download the app. Be careful you tap while on the website to avoid those links. Unfortunately sometimes the website will take you directly to the App Store instead of keeping you on the website. Not much you can do about it except to ignore those websites if they irritate you.

Network keeps switching to Apple Net work

How can I prevent the wireless from switching from my network to Apple Network. When trying to connect to internet I find that my network has been changed
to Apple Network. Never experience any thing like it. Can somebody explain what's causing it?

Sounds like you are still set to the Apple demo network from the Apple Store.
You can check and remove this by:
System Preferences > Network > select 'Wi-Fi' from the left hand pane > select 'Advanced...'
Here you will see a list of preferred wireless networks.
Click to drag and drop and re-arrange the order of these networks; you will need to make sure your primary network is listed at the top, if it is not, the device will attempt to find and connect to the network that is.
Click to highlight a network from the list, then remove it from the list using the minus '-' button.
Click OK, if and when prompted, click apply changes.
Let me know if this works.

HT1551 digital toslink audio output is restricted on apple TV

I am trying to connect the apple TV to a receiver via the toslink output. All that I got on the receiver is a message that says "digital signal restricted". The apple TV was previously connected to another receiver via HDMI and I had tested the toslink connection before and it was working. Should I reset the apple TV? Have somebody faced the same problem? Please, I would appreciate any help
Thanks

Never heard of that before.
It either sends linear PCM 16 bit 48 kHz (not 44.1 kHz) for stereo or Dolby Digital 5.1 streams.

Try to Reset your device.
Press and hold both the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears (ignore the Slide to Power Off that shows up first).

OS X 10.8.5 mac mini hdmi audio output issue

I am running a 2012 Mac Mini with OS X 10.8.5 and my Mac is set for audio and video output via HDMI to my AV receiver / TV. I have recently noticed that HDMI audio output ceases to function once the computer goes to sleep. A full computer restart is required to resolve the issue which is an inconvenience to say the least.
Or is anyone aware of a simple fix?
All my software is up to date, the HDMI lead and connection works fine for video and audio works fine after a restart so it must surely be a software error. Worked fine until the latest OS X update...
Grateful for any help!

Sound output channel keeps switching by itself every few seconds

Hey guys, I have this sound output issue with my Macbook pro 2010 September version that every once in a while, the audio output would keep swapping between headphone, digital output and the speakers when NO headphone or digital output or what so ever is actually plugged in. During this time i am unable to adjust sounds, and my menu bar would become very slow to respond (the sound icon and Soundsource application would stop responding during this time). After a while (could be less than 10 minutes or last to about an hour, it varies), it returns back to normal by itself.
I've read many posts on Apple forum about this issue, but i haven't found a suitable solution. Also, I read that for most, when the audio output doesn't work it would usually be a output socket issue that there is a RED light in the socket. But for me, at times it has a RED light, at times, it doesn't, and sometimes the RED light would switch on and off by itself for a couple of times, depending on how long this issue lasts until it returns to its normal state by itself.
I have tried:
1. plugging the headphone into the socket and take it out quickly
2. Downloading Soundsource: i heard that Soundsource has an option of manually adjusting the sound output channel instead of letting the computer switch automatically, but unfortunately I downloaded the latest (2.5) version of the software and it doesn't have that option on my macbook pro.
3. I also tried Cmd + Opt + P + R
The result however is that none of this worked.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have both and haven't experienced this at all. Very strange. I do get a lot of random channel changes however when I put my iPad on the remote, the cat walks over it or the dog sits on it.
That being said, I don't use the Samsung remote at all for the TV and never have done. I dislike it and find it unresponsive. I use a different remote to change through the available outputs and the Vision remote for Vision and for switching the TV on and off.

If you use LogMeIn, it is their sound driver. I'm having identical problem and it started after using LogMeIn.

Hi there, can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac Mini? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? Thanks in advance, Grtz T.

Hi there,
Can anyone tell me how to make make Garageband ignore HDMI as an audio output-device on a 2013 Mac mini i7 using an Apogee jam as an input for bass and a Behringer USB DAC with RCA audio output? Now it keeps on prompting me: Do you want want to use the HDMI device (monitor without audio) for audio output? I'm also suffering massive audio lag issues with the Apogee jam after waking the mini from sleepmode, wich pretty much renders it useless.
Thanks in advance,
Grtz T.

I think the easiest way to do this is to have the EyeTV app running in one user account and sent via HDMI to the TV, and use a separate user account for Screen Sharing. Both logins can be active at the same time and with Lion you can connect via screen sharing to which ever login you need.
With regards to the Mac video resolution changing, when it is not the current input on your AV receiver. This is 'normal', if the Mac sees no signal it drops down the a lower level. What you need is to buy a HDMI Detective Plus which tricks the Mac in to always seeing a signal and hence it will not drop down the resolution. See http://www.gefen.com/kvm/dproduct.jsp?prod_id=8005
The Mac mini does have an IR receiver. This can be used with the EyeTV app, iTunes, and similar. Yes I believe EyeTV would run for prolonged periods quite happily, it is has been around for a long time and had most of the rough edges polished off. However one issue you will have to deal with is that it does not automatically update its program guide data. For this you might have to write or modify an AppleScript. Elgato support or their user forums will be a lot of help.
You can set EyeTV to convert recordings to an iTunes (Apple TV) compatible format and then delete them from EyeTV.
The HDMI Detective should solve your handshaking problems.

Applescript to switch audio output

I am having a little trouble with this applescript which is intended to present a dialog with some choices and switch the audio output accordingly. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've started a gist too.
tell application "System Preferences" to activate
tell application "System Events"
          get properties
          set asrc to choose from list {"Internal Speakers", "Living Room", "Girl's Room", "Master Bedroom"} with title "Sound Picker" default items {"Internal Speakers"}
          display dialog "src is: " & asrc
          tell process "System Preferences"
                    click menu item "Sound" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
delay 2
                    set theRows to every row of table 1 of scroll area 1 of ¬
                              tab group 1 of window "sound"
                    set theOutputs to {} as list
                    repeat with aRow in theRows
                              if (value of text field 1 of aRow as text) ¬
                                        is equal to asrc then
                                        set selected of aRow to true
                                        exit repeat
                              end if
                    end repeat
          end tell
end tell
tell application "System Preferences" to quit

Hi,
The following script, tested under OS X 10.8.2, should do the trick.
set asrc to (choose from list {"Internal Speakers", "Living Room", "Girl's Room", "Master Bedroom"} with title "Sound Picker" default items {"Internal Speakers"}) as text
if result is "false" then return
display dialog "src is: " & asrc
tell application "System Preferences"
    reveal anchor "output" of pane id "com.apple.preference.sound"
    activate
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "System Preferences"
            select (row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of tab group 1 of window "Sound" whose value of text field 1 is asrc)
        end tell
    end tell
    quit
end tell
To have the script run in the background, just comment out the “activate” line above.
