Audio stream to an Airport Express fails.

Audio stream (sent by Itunes, Ipad, Iphones, Ipod....) to an Airport Express satellite works some seconds, then cuts then stops. It worked well for a couple of months than problems rised. Any solution?

I'd like to put an AE upstairs so I can use AirPlay from my Mac to both the downstairs AppleTV and the upstairs Airport Express at the same time.
The AirPort Express will work for this if it can receive a good quality wireless signal where it will be located.
Also, I'd like the Airport Express to act as a Wi-Fi Network extender for the O2 router that's downstairs.
The "extend" feature appears to be a proprietary function with Apple products. It is extremely unlikely that it will work with the O2 router. As far as we know, this feature only works among Apple products.

Error message when I try to stream iTunes over Airport Express

When I try to stream iTunes over Airport Express, I get an error message: An unknown error (-15006) occurring while connecting to the remote speaker. This just started happening since I upgraded to iTunes 9. Is there a fix?

Streaming Itunes to Airport Express

I am able to stream itunes on Airport Express while also using my computer to access the internet via an Airport Extreme Network. I am also able to do the same at a vacation home which uses a Linksys network. However, when using the office network (small private office) with secured wireless access, which I have he access to, the itunes will only work on the wireless network if selected network is chosen on the banner bar at top of the desktop. The system sees both wireless networks (the Airport Express & the office wireless network). I was actually surprised that I could stream music to the express and still maintain a separate connection for internet simulteanously. I would like to be able to have the sam capability for the office as I do at home and the vacation home, any advice??

you can only stream music to an airport express if you have selected that network from your list under the airport icon at the top of your screen... so if you have selected your itunes network then you obviously can't also be part of another wireless network to use the internet. The only way to do this is to make your itunes network a part of the network which is used to access the web. Airport express has profiles which enable you to setup multiple settings so when you take your airport into the office, reconfigure the airport using airport admin and have it 'join' your office network and make sure you give it the same network name as your office one. Then from your airport network list select the name and you will be able to both listen to music and surf.

I have just upgraded iTunes to version 11 and now cannot stream via my airport express to my hiFi. I get error 15000. how can this be corrected?

You've done great so far to upgrade to Leopard & install more RAM. Now install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
After you install the 10.5.8 update, click on the Apple in the menu & select Software Update. You will then be informed of some application updates. iTunes may be one of them. Then click to install the app updates.

Can I stream videos using airplay to appletv2 and play the audio thru stereo using airport express?

I have apple tv 2 connected to my HDTV. I am streaming VEVO videos from iphone to ATV2. Would like to play the audio through my sony stereo. Would love to do it wirelessly if possible. Can this be done? Would airport express connected to stereo make this possible? If not what are my options.

The only input ports I have on the stereo is a dmport, auxillary and headphone jacks. I really would like to do this wireless. If, instead of appletv2, I had google tv which VEVO uses could the airport express be used? Seems like I recall reading somewhere that using 2 of them created a wireless connection for audio. Is that right?
Thanks for any advice.

Streaming iTunes to Airport Express - Audio Hiccups

I have a Netgear wireless router connected to my PC, and, at the other end of the house, a Hawking Range Extender. My Airport Express syncs with the range extender so that I can access my iTunes library on the PC and play through my sound system (where the Express is located). I am using the Airport Utility on my iPad to access and play from iTunes. All signals are strong, but when iTunes is streaming there is a "hiccup" every 10-15 seconds in the audio. This is a very momentary pause. Has anyone else experienced this problem and, if so, were yoiu able to resolve it?

Airport Express fails to be streamed from by iTunes

So when I use the Airport Utility (v.5.4.2) to configure an airport express (v.6.3) everything's fine. It can join my WPA network and is visible in iTunes (v.9.0.3).
But as soon as I try to connect:
An unknown error (-15006) ocurred while connecting to the remote speaker <blah>
The annoying aspect is using Airfoil and other apps (e.g. Spotify) I can stream perfectly, but as soon as iTunes attempts to connect, I see the error and need to cut power and restart it to make it visible again.
iTunes can't eat its own dogfood, but Airfoil can?
The firewall is disabled, if that's your first suggestion!

First of all, I feel your frustration...
Second, you cannot install Airport Express on any device...
You can only install "Airport Utility" on devices......
Third, your profile shows you have a Black Macbook running 10.5.5
Is this correct??????????????
A little more info and updated information will help all of us.........

Lost ability to stream iTunes with airport express

I have a mid 2007 iMac using a Time Capsule for backup and Wifi and an airport express hooked up to my house audio system for airplay.
Just upgraded to Mountain Lion and lost the ability to stream iTunes to my audio system. External speaker icon and controls are still there in itunes however when I select it, it wont connect. Airport utility shows the iMac, Time Capsule, and Airport Express with green lights. Checked for software updates and rebooted all three devices to no avail.
Any ideas experts?

Hi, I've already answer you on another thread but there's a serious issue with at least our old machines:
auto-quote mode:
I have the same problem
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4154491
I noticed that mountain lion drop wifi speed when using airplay or time capsule features, and these features are now unusable... Haven't find a solution yet

Streaming music using airport express

Is is possible to stream music from Safari to an airport express like you can in Itunes?

Hi
Welcome to Apple Discussions
To stream audio from Safari through your Airport Express you'll need to purchase Airfoil. There is a demo version on the developer's site. I suggest trying it before purchasing. Also, I suggest reading the FAQ on the site.

Negligible audio from remote speakers - airport express

i've got a remote problem i just can't figure out.
i have been running my itunes through my home stereo system via my airport express. besides some inconsistent rebuffering problems, everything has run fine for about a month. about a week ago, i removed the ethernet cable to the airport for a while and then reinserted. my internet connection continues to work fine, but now i cannot play my itunes through my stereo receiver. if i turn my itunes volume onto full and my receiver to half volume, i can get some volume out of it, but negligible. at this volume, i should be blowing out the windows. i have tried re-starting my express, different audio input channels, new rca to mini-jack cable, a different stereo system, going through my airport admin and itunes preferences, running other equipment through the receiver (to ensure the receiver is working fine - it does) and nothing has resolved the issue.
if anyone can offer some advice, i'd appreciate it. this very well might drive me insane.

Hi King Paul,
Airtunes dropping out? What do you have " Streaming Buffer Size " set to? I have mine set at medium.

or

Streamed music to Airport Express interrupts

Hi,
Recently, I installed an Airport Express to stream my music from my iMac to the speakers in my office, at home.
Everything works good, but often the streaming just stops when I start typing something in the address bar of Safari.
In iTunes, this little icon gets yellow :
Both my iMac (from which the iTunes music is streamed) and my AE are wireless. Both are quite far from the TimeCapsule base station, but the signal is good for both (I download up to 50 Mbit/sec, so...).
When the music interrupts, I have to click "play" again and iTunes says "trying to connect to AiportExpress...." After a couple of seconds, the musics streams normally.
Sounds strange, no?
Thanks in advance for any support on this one!
M.

Wireless is shared bandwidth and if the stream is using a large chunk of the available bandwidth then it will have issues when you start using Safari.
Change over as much as possible to ethernet .. it is far more efficient and multiple computers can work at the same time.. the difficulty with wireless is that only one device can connect at a time.. so wireless works on a time slicing system.. fine for data.. really lousy for streams of audio or video.
If you cannot fix it with ethernet try looking at EOP (homeplug) adapters these are still better than wireless when they work.. however the only way to find out is to test them.. they behave differently in every setup.
I just saw your other thread..
The airport utility will show how fast the wireless link is.. to do this hover your mouse over the connection where it says good or average. etc.
You can see that mine show average but the RSSI is really low.. -85dBm is actually a really poor link.
If I use the old v5 utility I will discover that signal to noise is only separated by 3 or 4db.
You can be pretty sure trouble will come.. just a person moving around through the wireless beam will cause issues.

Airport Express fails to configure with Utility 5.5.1

Hi there, I hope somebody can help me with this problem
I have an Airport Express which was previously working fine.
It was used to extend the range of another network, with a non-Apple router/modem.
It stopped working one day and I didn't pay much attention to it as I only used it for streaming iTunes anyway.
Now I have moved and am once again trying to get it to connect to an existing wireless network and failing.
I open Utility and it scans and detects my Airport Express which I have done a factory reset on.
I click on the AE and go through the setup steps and get as far as Join A Wireless Network.
Regardless of whether I then choose "Join My Wireless Network" or "Extend the range of my AEx or AE network" things fall down at the next step.
I find the network I wish to join, put in the WPA password and click restart.
At this point Utility tells me that my settings have been successfully updated and I should either close the window or wait for AE to restart.
Alas it never restarts.
The light continues to flash orange and Utility eventually acknowledges failure.
Any ideas as to how I overcome this?
Incidentally in Utility I can setup a new network on the AE without problem, alas I don't have access to the ethernet cable to do this as I am piggy-backing on to a network in a shared housing scheme.

When I logged in to the router it told me that security was WPA/WPA2-Personal (PSK).
Is there perhaps a setting for WPA/WPA2 Personal (TKIP)? That would correspond to Apple's WPA/WPA2 Personal.
+The main Belkin routher is 2 houses away.+
+Is there any way to use the Airport Express to extend the range of the network or improve the signal strength inside my house?+
Unfortunately, Apple's "extend a wireless network" feature is not compatible with other manufacturer's devices. All you can do is try to position the AirPort Express as close as possible the Belkin router and avoid as many obstructions as possible.

Stream music via Airport Express vs. Apple TV

I purchased some Vanatoo Powered Speakers (amazing speakers) with Digital Audio in and was planning on streaming music from my iphones, iPad, mac, etc... via Airplay. I purchased an Airport Express and plugged it to the Speakers with an optical cable.
I have a network with an Airport Extreme and good signal, however, whatever the channel I selected, the music keeps dropping out every now and then during playback. I wanted to see if the problem would also occur with my Apple TV. I plugged it to the speakers and the problem was GONE! The Apple TV works much better and no dropped signal! Now I need to replace my Airport Express with an Apple TV! I don't understand why Apple cannot fix the problem of Airplay playback on Airport Express!

I have a same problem using the Airport Express to my DAC, but Apple TV is doing without any drop out.
I don't know the reason, but there is a suggestion in audiophile to install a 3rd party software, e.g. Audiravana plus, which allows the music to go to memory (RAM) and a slightly delay to play.
You can download for a free trail, only purchase if it helps.
