Connecting Apple TV to Bluetooth speakers

Loving Apple TV; but my TV built in speakers are poor. Currently I've plugged in some external speakers; but I'd like to connect my Bluetooth enabled Creative externals to the Apple TV; but Bluetooth in settings can't seem to find anyting. Creative just doesn't show up in spite of pushing its button to get the light flashing.
Any fix?
Thanks

Bluetooth speakers are not supported.
Send feedback - I could imagine Bluetooth headphones might be good to support to:

  • Connect apple tv to computer speakers.

    Hello,
    What can I use to connect the apple tv to computer speakers? I know it has digital output but speakers only have 3.5 m jack input.
    Is there any cable that will make this possible?

    See https://discussions.apple.com/message/18084600#18084600. In other words, the answer appears to be no unless you're willing to live with some serious compromises.

  • Can't connect my ipad to Bluetooth speakers.

    I paired my ipad to my bluetooth speakers then by mistake told my ipad to forget them. How do I reconnect my ipad to my bluetooth speakers?

    Go through the original procedure again. Switch on the speakers put them in pairing mode (if not automatic) switch on bluetooth on the ipad and let it find and pair with them.

  • How to connect apple tv to normal speakers with 3.5mm jack?

    I have recently brought apple tv, it works great with my tv. But I have optoma HD200x projector which, I think, don't have audio out. I understand that I need optical audio cable to connect it to speakers but I have JBL radial speakers with 3.5mm jack. Which cable is required as no optical audio port on jbl dock.
    Thanks

    You need to connect optical to a DAC that can output analogue stereo (serach for monoprice here) or have an amp/speaker that acepts optical.
    Assuming you'll hook up HDMI to the Optoma it's worth considering whether or not thsi convertes HDMI audio and has an analogue 3.5mm or RCA jack out (or headphones socket) - that might work but would entail an extra lead from the projector.

  • How do I connect Apple TV to external speakers and my TV?

    I just bought an Apple TV for my studio apartment and have it connected to my TV via HDMI, and use AirPlay to stream my music and videos. Video works great, but the my TV's internal speakers are low quality. So, I would like to have my audio come from external speakers (which I have not bought yet), for the following 2 scenarios:
    Listening to music via AirPlay, preferably without having to turn my TV on.
    Watching videos on my TV, with the audio coming through my external speakers rather than the TV speakers
    I see my Apple TV has an Optical Audio (Toslink) port, but the salesperson at the nearby electronics store said none of their speakers have Toslink cables, only 3.5 mm (or USB). The only solution I found is an AV receiver box that has optical input but costs hundreds of dollars. I am looking for something cheaper and am willing to settle for "pretty good" sound quality.
    Is there another way to get this to work?
    This article recommends using a digital audio converter (DAC) to connect the Apple TV to a stereo amplifier. This seems like it would satisfy scenarios (1) and (2) above.
    Also, I found this "Toslink to 3.5 mm adapter" for a few bucks; could I just plug that into my Apple TV and then connect it to any speakers (like computer speakers) with 3.5mm input?
    Any ideas would be appreciated.

    Rex,
    Since the toslink is optical, the 3.5mm adapter will not work for you as it is only ment as a conversion to a mini-toslink cable. Your first option of using the DAC, is in my opinion the best and perhaps only way to get audio out without going to a fancy amp or tuner first.
    One option that I'm considering is the Bose Solo TV sound system. It might set you back about 4-Grant's, but I generally enjoy the sound of bose for most music/tv/movie purposes; and it has a direct optical audio input that you can run either from your tv or your ATV. Whatever audio you're sending to your TV via the HDMI, should go to these speakers through your HDTV's toslink output with equal digital clarity.
    I've read a few other posts on the apple discussion forum which lead me to believe that the optical output of the ATV might not work so well after the 5.2 update... so whatever I do, it won't be JUST for use with the ATV.

  • How to keep bluetooth speakers from connecting

    How do I keep my bluetooth speakers from connecting automatically when I wake my iMac?

    I think i found the fix.
    Apple icon -> About this mac ->  more info -> System report -> bluetooth  ->  to see the all the bluetooth paired, configured devices
    Now with the alt key pressed, right click on the bluetooth icon on the top right corner -> the device -> remove
    This way it removes the device permanently

  • Bluetooth speakers won't connect with new Macbook Pro

    I just sold my Macbook Pro (mid 2012 release) and purchased the brand new lighter, faster Macbook Pro Retina display that was just released a couple of weeks ago (Mid 2014).
    There are a host of things this new Pro can't/won't do (which I didn't know upon purchasing it), but my question right now is: why won't my bluetooth speakers (which worked great with my other Macbook Pro) properly connect/work with my new one?  The bluetooth recognizes the speakers--it says they're there in the bluetooth set up--but they don't work, nor do they show up in my sound options (In my system preferences, only the internal speakers are listed as available output devices).  Why would they be visible but not able to be connected?
    Is there a fix?  Can I get my bluetooth speakers to work?  Or are these more things (along with my Apple Remote) that I have to scrap?
    Thanks!

    Me three.  Does not work at all, extremely frustrating for an educator who relies heavily on this technology

    Can we connect IPad to Apple TV via bluetooth? How

    Can you be a bit more specific about what you're trying to do.
    You must have a black AppleTV 2 or 3.  AppleTV 1 doesn't support this.
    iPad 1 doesn't support mirroring only Airplay from apps.  iPad 2/3 does support mirroring.
    Mirroring is enabled by clicking iPad home button wtice scrolling to leftmost screen, enabling Airplay and then the mirroring slider underneath.

  • Apple Power Mac G4 speakers - connecting to Airport Express?

    Hi.
    Is it possible to connect the old Apple Power Mac G4 speakers (ie. those displayed at http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=300153379805&fromMakeTrack= true&ssPageName=VIP:watchlink:middle:uk) to my Airport Express?
    That is, do the two devices have compatible jack and jack socket?
    Thanks

    Simply converting the mechanical connection isn't enough.
    There used to be a device called an iFire which allowed you to use those speakers with any computer that had FireWire. That device has been discontinued for a very long time. Anyway it wouldn't allow you to connect the speakers to an AX.
    You need powered speakers to use with the AX.

  • Phone wont connect to bluetooth speakers

    I am trying to connect my iPhone 4S with IOS 7 to my bluetooth speakers (HMDX Jam Classic). Everytime I try and connect it, it picks it up, but then says "won't pair," saying the device is too far away and it took too long, though its next to me. I tried turning both devices off and tried connecting other phones, but nothing will work. Any ideas? Thank you!

    when I turn on my bluetooth headset and my computer is on then it connects to that
    in which case I need to disconnect it from the computer before I can connect it to my ipad or iphone
    maybe thats your issue
