Can you select or disable AppleTV's audio output?

I have my AppleTV connected to the television via HDMI and also connected to an amplifier via optical audio. I would like to disable the HDMI audio output as to not have the sound play through the television, but it does not appear to be configurable in the AppleTV menu. Is this possible?

Well I'm running update v.4.2.2 I don't have a solid internet connection to update the blasted thing. I have my optical audio plugged in and I'm getting signal lights through the cable but when its plugged into my reciever no sound comes out of my reciever, only the HDMI connection into the TV. I would like to fix it without haveing to jailbreak it and put xbmc on it.

Can't select "Displays" in System Preferences

In System Prefences, I can't select "Displays" to change the settings. How do I fix this?

you can try removing the audio settings, and see if you get get into settings.
to do so, open the terminal (applications, utilities)
'sudo mv /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist.old'
'sudo mv /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist /Library/Preferences/Audio/com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist.old'

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the test and change the font, it does not change it properly?

When I convert my pdf doc to word, the fonts go really weird and it also puts some text into boxes. when I try to select the text and change the font, it does not change it properly? This is making it impossible to amend.

Hi Janedance1,
If the PDF that you converted already has searchable text, please try disabling OCR as described in this document: How to disable Optical Character Recognition (OCR) when converting PDF to Word or Excel. (If the PDF was created from a scanned document and doesn't already have searchable text, disabling OCR isn't a great option, as the text won't be searchable/editable in the converted Word doc.)
Please let us know how it goes.
Best,

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:

or send it in to Apple. See:

Changing audio output device for currently running program

I'm not sure where to put this question, but all my searching hasn't seemed to find an answer...
If I have a program running, iTunes, VLC, a game, whatever, and want to change audio output from say Line Out to Headphones, I have to restart the program for the change to take effect. Is this by design/normal or am I missing something somewhere?

this is actually a quiet significant issue. There is no way in Flash to select the audio output device.
Today people have regular speakers and a separate headset. They all use the speakers for music and the headset for voice. Skype i.e. has the option to choose audio output device and its really handy, because
you dont have to bother to set the default device to the headset everytime you want to use it.
If you set the default device to the headset all other apps will send their audio output to the headset - which is not what you want either.
So people really want to leave the default device set to the speakers and not to the headset.
Nokia did this for Java
JRT 2.1 / Nokia UI API updated to version 1.4:
AudioOutputControl extension for controlling which audio output device, for example the device loudspeaker or earpiece, is used to play back audio
This really is an issue.

Airport Express and the audio output.

I bought an Airport Express sometime last year, when it first came out. I don't have any of the packaging or the manual with me. What I would like to know is if Airport Express had support for both analog and optical audio output right from the start (when it was first released).
Thanks.

Since its release over a year ago, there has only ever been one hardware version of the Airport Express. Therefore - yes - a combo analog/optical digital output has been built into the Airport Express right from the start.

Hello, Miryam Maria.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I see you are experiencing issues with sound on applications when playing video/audio content. If this is the case, the first thing I would check is if the side switch is set to silent as this can cause applications to be mute. Below I have included an article that covers adjusting the settings for the side switch. Also, make sure to close all applications in Multitasking and power cycle the device. Test the sound issue after processing these steps.

Sorry, there is nothing you can do until the device is removed from the sellers Apple ID.
Without that, your device can't be used, check these articles:

Can't change audio output in System Preferences

I have installed an M-Audio Firewire Solo interface on my Mac Mini and have made it my default audio output device in System Preferences. When I go to change the audio output back to "Headphones" (the built-in output on the computer), it will not allow me to do so. I click on Headphones, close the window, reopen the window, and the Firewire Solo output is still selected. I'm guessing there's an easy solution to this?

Welcome to the Mac and Apple Discussions.
Open the Preferences folder in the Library folder on the hard drive and look for the files com.apple.audio.DeviceSettings.plist and com.apple.audio.SystemSettings.plist and perhaps any others. Move them to the desktop and restart or log out and in. The system will rebuild them when it starts up again. You might try removing them one at a time so you are able to identify which is the corrupt .plist file, if in fact it is a .plist problem.
If that doesn’t fix anything, look for similar files with .audio.xxxxxx.plist in your Users Preferences folder: Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences and try removing those. The .plist files usually can be removed without causing problems as they are automatically rebuilt. If it does cause a problem, you can move the originals back to their respective folders from the desktop, replacing the ones that were reconstructed after the restart and you’ll be back to the way it was before you removed them.
And then I’m out of ideas. But keep posting until you get it solved. There are a lot of very knowledgeable people on this forum. If you don’t get any response for a while, respond to your own post with the word “Bump” to get it to the top of the stack again.

Display mirroring and resolution

Hi,
I'm trying to set up my macbook for presentations using an apple vga adaptor. When I plug into an external monitor, everything behaves as I expect until I switch ON mirroring. When I do this the macbook screen becomes square (even though the resolution is set to 1280 x 800), with large black edges.
Any thoughts?

Hi stu19,
taken from the Video Developer Note found here: http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Hardware/Conceptual/HWTechVideo/Articles/Video_implementation.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40003994-SW741200331181
*External Display Modes*
The computer supports two external display modes: video mirroring and extended desktop. The default is extended desktop mode. To toggle between the two modes, use the Displays pane in System Preferences.
*Extended Desktop Mode*
In extended desktop mode, the resolution of the two displays can be set independently. In this mode, the maximum external display resolution supported by the MacBook is 2048 x 1536 at 60 Hz for analog displays and 1920 x 1200 at 60 Hz for digital displays.
*Video Mirroring Mode*
In mirroring mode, a single resolution is used for both displays. The highest resolution possible is the native resolution of the internal display (1280 x 800). If the external display can support a higher resolution than the internal display, that higher resolution is unused in mirroring mode.
*If the external display cannot support the full resolution of the internal display, the lower resolution is used for both displays.* A suitable resolution for both displays should be chosen in the Displays pane of System Preferences.
*Scaling and Black Borders*
In either extended desktop or video mirroring mode, choosing a lower resolution than a display supports results in scaling up the image, if possible. Depending on the supported resolutions, aspect ratios, and refresh rates of the two displays, the scaled image may not fill the screen of one display, in which case the image on that display has black borders. This black border typically occurs when the resolution chosen has a different aspect ratio than the display. It does not occur on CRT displays.
Hope it helps
