Can't play music via Airport Express

I've successfully played music through Airport Express before, but for some reason I keep getting this error message now: There are no speakers connected to the Aiport Device "Living Room".
I have connected Harman Kardon speakers and subwoofer connected to the Airport, but it must not be recognizing the connection. I believe I have it correctly set up on the computer end...any thoughts?

Are these speakers USB or are they connected with the 1/8" audio jack? What is your setup from pluging the audio speakers and the subwoofer?

  • Playing music via airport express with bair tunes???

    hi all im thinking of buying an airport express with air tunes. what i would like to know is can i link the airport directly to speakers and play music using my iphone and not have to have my computer on??? or do i have to run it through the itunes on my laptop?? ps i do have the remote app on my iphone any help greatly appreciated. thank u

    It runs through itunes on your computer. You use the remote app to control through itunes. Itunes needs to be running. Works great, I use it all the time.

  • Cannot play music via Airport Express

    I have airport express (hereafter AE) and have been trying to make Deezer connect to the AE which is connected to a stereo receiver. The following happens. When I configure AE to "join existing network" (which is my wireless internet connection network, that is simply a DSL connection) Deezer cannot connect and stream music - in this case I have internet connection but no music stream. When I configure AE to "create a new network" Deezer can connect to AE and streams music - in this case I have no internet connection but music stream. What I am trying to have is both an internet connection and music stream. An suggestions for a solution? I also need to inform you that with iTunes I do not have a problem. When I configure AE as "join existing network" I can connect to the internet and iTunes can stream music. So I do not really understand where the problem lies.

    No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
    You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

  • IOS7 (iPad or iPhone) can't play music over airport

    iOS7 (iPad or iPhone) can't play music over airport?  I don't see the little arro that let's me pick the airport for music to the audio system.

    New way of doing this is to sweep your finger up from the bottom of the iPhone screen; you see a sort of control panel with things like airplane mode, bluetooth etc across the top. And 3/4 of the way down the little arrow thing you used to see beside in "music" to choose the AirPlay or Base Station.
    Not exactly intuitive.

  • Play iTunes via airport express?

    Hello
    I have a couple old airport expresses with a 1/8 in output to play music received from iTunes wirelessly. BUT, AirPort utility won't recognize either airport express (I have depressed the reset button on each for 30 seconds) and I see no option for remote speakers in iTunes.
    Is there anyway to play iTunes music through airport express? Is there another way?
    Thanks

  • Can't browse internet while playing music over Airport Express

    Hello,
    I have a 802.11n wireless network using a D-Link DIR-615 router. I have 2 AX's, one for the printer and one recently purchased to play music on my home stereo. The AX's are set to join the existing network.
    I can play music over the AX just fine, and I can browse the internet wirelessly just fine.... but...
    When I am playing music AND want to browse at the same time, I can do so for about a minute, at which point the internet stops working (I get time-outs) and a couple minutes later, the music also stops. To fix it, I have to turn off AirPort on my MacBook Pro (using the icon in the upper right of the screen), and then turn it back on.
    Why is this happening? How do I fix it? I've tried changing the channel on the router. I suspect it's something to do with the router... but Apple folks are so much more helpful!

    Based on the information in your posts, you are likely encountering a signal strength issue, an interference issue with another wireless network or device, or a combination of the two.
    iStumbler will help with identifying one or both of these potential issues.
    When you open the application, check your signal strength. If you have a "good" signal, your wireless signal strength will appear in green. If it's yellow, you have a marginal signal, red, etc. If your signal is not in the green area, you need to position the router and Express closer together or try to eliminate any obstructions between devices as much as possible. A typical sheet rock and stud wall will on average, absorb about 15-20% of your signal.
    Then look for other wireless networks that may be displayed in the iStumbler window. Any visible network that is using the same channel or a close adjacent channel as your wireless is a likely cause of interference. If you see this, change the channel on your router to see if you can find better airspace.
    You may need to experiment with this a bit, as most modern routers allow a user to "hide" their network. So, it's quite possible that another network that you cannot see is interfering with your signal. All you can really do is keep trying different channels until you find a better setting or run out of channels.

  • 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.

  • HT3291 Streaming Music via Airport Express vs Apple TV

  • Itunes 8.2.23 upgrade, now won't stream music via airport express

    i (mistakenly) installed yesterday's upgrade to itunes and now when i stream music to my airport express it will play a couple of songs and then i won't get any sound. the song is still "playing" in itunes but it isn't being streamed to my digital receiver. if i pause the song and start it again i'll hear it but after a bit a new song will do the same thing.
    i seem to remember having this problem after the last update but can't remember what i did to remedy it. i think i reverted back to the previous version but i'm hearing that i can't do that from this version.

    Hey I'm on the phone with the Apple Rep now ( who will remain nameless ) here are the steps:
    1. System Prefs
    2. Go into SECURITY
    3. Click on FIREWALL
    4. Select SET ACCESS FOR SPECIFIC SERVICES AND APPLICATIONS
    5. Click the "+" Button to "Add" iTunes
    6. Restart iTunes
    You may need to "Add" Other Stuff that you normally use like Skype, Or Logmein.com, etc...
    I believe that in the the future Apple may have a better fix for this... the rep is saying he will escalate it...
    Seems to be working fine... we'll see who it goes long term and after some restarts... I'm not sure if it's because of the work we did re-installing and changing setting but I'm getting the soccer ball of death right now... be curious to see what others find out.

  • Can I play music through AirPort other than through iTunes?

    Hey, I think this is a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway. Can I set up my AirPort to play music that's not coming to it through iTunes, or is that the only way to feed music to my AirPort Express? For instance, if I wanted to play AOL Radio (which has its own player, not through iTunes), can I do so? Thanks for your help!

    Take a look at the program "Airfoil" by Rogue Amoeba.

  • Can't send mail via airport express

    I'm trying to set up an airport network for my Mom. She has a MacBook running 10.6.1 and Roadrunner is her ISP. I have the cable modem attached via ethernet cable to the airport express (BTY, I tried my airport extreme and have the same problem). I can use the internet and can retrieve mail but I CANNOT SEND MAIL. Everything else including the printer woks fine on the network. RoadRunner support verified that my network and e-mail account settings are correct. They claim it is an issue with the Mac. Any ideas?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    You didn't mention this in your post,but I assume that you have power cycled the network, correct?
    If not, power everything down for a few minutes. Start the modem first and let it run 2-3 minutes alone. Then start the Airport Express and let it run 2-3 minutes and finally your printer and computers. Any help?
    If not, and you have a good internet connection, it is a question of settings or the mail application itself. What mail application are you using?
