Cant get audio out from iPad airplay on optical audio

I have an apple tv in school for streaming video of drama classes to big screen. Apple tv is plugged into HDMI on projector and i airplay the videos from iPad. My issue is getting sound - the projector has no speaker in it so no sound is currently playing. I purchased an optical audio to 3.5mm jack lead to go from the rear of the apple tv to a set of speakers on my desk. Nothing seems to be happening - will this setup just not work or is there a way for my classes to hear the soound as i airplay it?
Any help GREATLY appreaciated!
Thanks

Where did you get the lead - it would ordinarily require a D/A converter between the optical connector and the 3.5mm jack...

  • Digital audio out from ipad 3?

    Hello there,
    I have an ipad 3 (30 pins connection), running on iOS 6.1. I also have an external DAC/amp that I use for my PC. My question is, can I use the external DAC with my ipad? Meaning I want to extract the raw audio data from my ipad, and process it externally on my DAC.
    I've searched the internet, but the answers just went north and south. Some say I can, with the camera connection kit (using the USB female plug). Some say I can't, must be an iDevice with lightning connector. Some say I can, but I must upgrade to iOS 7.
    I've tried using the camera connection kit, plugging the DAC/amp to the USB input of the CCK. I do get sound from the connection, and it does sound different than compared to the LOD, but I don't know if it's different because it's using the external DAC, or the external amp.
    Can anyone tell me, if what I'm trying to do is possible with the 30 pins connection? Or are there any ways to know/test if the sound I'm hearing is processed by ipad's DAC or my external DAC?
    Thank you in advance.

    Sure I did.
    In bios it just mentioned onboard audio.

  • Audio out from FCE HD to USB audio iMic

    I use my Sys Prefs to set my audio out to a USB audio device (iMic), and all of my audio goes there EXCEPT for FCE HD 3.0 which insists on using the Mac Line Out...
    Any way to change this?

    Check the following:
    SYSTEM PREFS>SOUND>OUTPUT>iMacUSB

  • Best audio out from iPad to Mac?

    Hi,
    I am using iPad 3 for music software synths such as Animoog. I'm connecting Fromm the headphone jack to an Apogee Duet, which then connects to the Mac running Ableton by FireWire.
    The sound quality is awful. Loads of background noise, more so than when I connect an electric guitar by the same process. Does anybody know a better way to connect without getting interference? I assumed there would be a direct way to get audio from device to device for live performance without running in to this issue.
    Thanks

    I am a newby to MAC. The upside is when I pay another $60 to get them on the MAC (or do I buy iWorks?), the app for my iPad interaction is already in place. I suppose I missed that clear explanation from iTunes. OH well, good stuff anyway. Thank you Sir!

  • Simultaneous audio output from Ipad and bluetooth ?

    Is it possible to have simultaneous audio output from IPAD and a bluetooth speaker? At present I can only get audio from the Bluetooth Speaker and nothing from the IPAD's audio out! My purpose is that my Mom will hold the IPAD to listen to her Audiobooks but my Dad who sits across the room and is hard of hearing needs a speaker close to him, so I need simultaneous audio from both devices.

    Use this: http://smile.amazon.com/KOKKIA-A10m-MULTI-STREAM-Transmitter-concurrently/dp/B00 69G1SIC/ref=smi_www_rco2_go_smi_1968491462?_encoding=UTF8&*Version*=1&*entries*= 0&pf_rd_p=1968491462&pf_rd_s=smile-campaign&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0069G1SIC&pf_rd _m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1N57Q0YT9QW7Y1K596YD and use two Bluetooth speakers for them. The speaker output on the iPad is pretty limited and your mother will probably have a hard time hearing it. Get a BT speaker for both and the above device and they both can listen from whatever location they want (within 40 feet) and get better sound.

  • Audio Out from iMac

    Hi there....on my iMac, suddenly I'm only getting audio out from the headphone jack at the back (which goes into my JBL Creature II's) on the RIGHT hand side. it does seem that suddenly the output jack socket has become defective....anyone else had this kind of thing?

    Try it with something else, such as iPod earbuds, to make sure the problem is not on the speaker side.
    Also, check System Preferences Sound pane Output tab to make sure the Balance setting did not get set all the way to the right side somehow.
    If it's still broken, try resetting the PRAM

    Go elsewhere:
    Jailbreaking voids the Apple warranty and also means that you will not get any support from Apple, including from this Apple forum. Jailbreaking can't be discussed in this Apple forum.

    Backing up an iOS device will copy some data to a backup file within iTunes, but this excludes all media.  You can also transfer iTunes Store purchases from the iDevice to iTunes but, without using a third-party tool, nothing else.  As long as you do not sync the iPod with your new library, the media that's on it will remain ... for as long as it keeps functioning, is not lost, stolen, eaten by the dog, ...
    You may also have an option to recover your previous library from your old laptop; as long as its hard drive isn't fried, a computer repair store or technician may be able to extract the drive, mount it in an external enclosure, and copy your data to another PC.  Whatever you choose, there is no real alternative to having all your media on your computer, managed by iTunes, and regularly backed up to another device/location.

  • MBP audio out from headphone jack is extremely low in volume

    i just sent my macbook pro 13in (mid 2009 model) to the apple store (out of warranty). my problem was that the audio out from the headphone jack was very very low and staticky. the problem arose about 2-3wks ago. i've owned the laptop since june 2009. i've never dropped or damaged it (no water damage, etc)
    my local apple store told me they had to replace logic board which seems extreme for what my problem is. i've read numerous forum posts saying that their computers came back with flickering "kernel panic"
    has anyone else had a similar audio problem with their computer, and if so was it resolved in this manner?
    thanks!

    I think you may be mistaken. the static coming from macbooks audio output port is as old a story as the macbook itself. IMO, epic fail on apple's part. I am debating complaining in a few months when I decide I deserve a better sound quality from a ridiculously overpriced laptop.

  • I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously

    I need to have audio out from HDMI and headphone jack simultaneously.
    I seem to be able to select one or the other, but not both ? !
    Thanks

    No. You can only use one sound output:
    Why can't I select HDMI audio on my Mac mini?
    If you connect an HDMI display or television to a Mac mini (Mid 2010 or later), you might not be able to select the HDMI audio device (in System Preferences > Sound > Output). This can happen if you also have headphones plugged in to the computer. Unplug the headphones to be able to select HDMI audio.
