How do I stop system sounds when using AirPlay on my MacBook Pro?

Hi all,
Probably a quick question, but I'm fairly new to Macs. I've a Macbook Pro 13 Late 2011 and now I've got an Apple TV, I use AirPlay. But how do I stop system sounds when using AirPlay?
Many thanks in advance, Jon.

Open AirPort Utility located in HD > Applications > Utilities

How do i change default sound when using AirPlay Display on Mavericks

So i am using a TV with Apple TV attached as a second display for watching movies etc in the background
Everytime i turn on the setting to enable to the display, it sets the Apple TV as my default sound and i have to go to settings to manually re-select my speakers attached to my iMac. Is there anyway to change this so it leaves the sound from my Mac as the default sound when enabling the screen.

I looked into this a little more carefully. It's not the Guest account. It clearly indicates "Managed".
Searching for more information, this is something related to Parental Control, but I can't seem to get this account to take on the characteristics of either an administrator or user role.

Hi,
I have recently bought a new apple tv (october 2013) partly for airplay (mirror) with my macbook pro.
Since the 6.0 version when i use my macbook i have some video lag..
I updated to the 6.0.1 and since.... it's worst !
I need your help i'm becoming crazy...
1- My tv : Samsung UE40EH6030 LED 3D
2- I'm using a 2011 mac book pro 2,3 GHz Intel Core i5 with 4gb memory (10.9 Mavericks)
3- I have checked my internet connection (best canal : 11)
Thanks

Mac OS X 10.9.1 has fixed the problem for me.
Pixelation is gone.
The delay between mouse/keyboard input and display is noticible but manageable.
Streaming video works well (with audio / video just a tiny bit out of sync).

Help please? I would not like the audio to mirror to my TV when using airplay from my MacBook.

I have a small music studio setup. I have an audio interface for the output of my macbook's audio. I like to use airplay with my macbook and apple TV. But when I use air play, my audio stop outputting from my macbooks audio output interface and mirrors through my TV speakers.
I'd like the audio to remain playing from my setup output but the screen I'd like mirrored through my apple TV and moutain lion.
Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance.

There is no "corruption" involved - iTunes typically revises the format of its database with new versions, so these are not backward-compatible with prior releases. iTunes does, however, preserve the library file from the previous release when you upgrade. If you've already uninstalled iTunes 12 and installed an outdated version, you can skip steps 1 and 5 below.
Unistall iTunes 12
Delete or rename the iTunes Library.itl file (by default in C:\Users\username\Music\iTunes)
Locate the date-time stamped copy of the iTunes Library.itl file in the Previous iTunes Library folder (this should be the one created when you updated from 11 to 12)
Copy this file to the location identified in step 2, and rename it iTunes Library.itl
Install iTunes 11
Hold down Shift as you start iTunes, when you get this prompt:
click Choose Library..., navigate to and select the iTunes Library.itl file from step 4, and click OK.
"Opening past libraries" doesn't work if you're simply double-clicking on the old library database files in the Previous iTunes Library folder - this will just launch iTunes and load the current database file.

How do you turn off sounds when using phone?

I know this question is not appropriate for this forum but I cannot find where it should go. I want to turn off the sounds when I am using my phone, e.g., when I am texting, each time I press a key it make a sound. If I turn down the volume then I cannot hear it ring so this is not the answer.
I have the Nokia 7020 phone. I cannot find any help in the userguide, only how to change ring tones. Anyone have any idea? Thank you.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

On my Lumia 900, it's under Settings -> ringtones+sounds, scroll to the bottom where there is a list of check boxes, and uncheck "Key press". Not sure it's the same for your phone, though.

No System Sound when using Digital Out. What the?!

Hmmm. I've searched and read many of the posts regarding sound problems on the mac mini but none experiencing what i think(?) is my problem. That being that when I use a toslink to connect my mac mini to my an external 5.1 amp the following is disabled:
- Volume control in menu bar disabled (greyed out)
- Apple Remote no longer controls volume
- DVD Player volume does nothing
- System Sound Preferences show 'Digital Out' but no options
Can someone confirm that these should still be adjustable? I can't believe that the now I have to use my stereo remote to control my Mac ?! Kind of ruins the 'Mac as a home theatre' experience. Unless I can find a solurion I guess it's back to analogue for me :o(
Please help!

I can't believe it! I'm not an audiophile I just wanted to have the clearest quality sound, so for Apple to allow fibre optic connection but disable the ability to change volume just flat out *****. There should at least be the option to treat the connection as stereo. Why should I have to switch back and forward to an analogue cable if i want to use the front row remote? Not very well thought out Apple!
Thanks for the Remote Buddy suggestion will look in to it.
Anyone else got any ideas for a work around??

Verify your iMovie "Voiceover" audio source is set to use your MBP's internal Mic before you record.

(You might also need to change it in System Preferneces > Sound > Input.)
Also verify the microphone's "Level" is not muted or adjusted too low in either place.

Choppy sound when using airplay with airport express

Hi everyone,
This is my first posting and I hope I can get some advice with the following situation:
Setting: a CISCO router with WIFI for my apartment, a mac mini, an iphone and an ipad all connected to the network. I also have an airport express that is attached to a set of speakers (the airport express is connected to the network as a client).
When I try to use airplay from ANY device and play music to my speakers connected to the airport express, I get choppy sound (volume goes up and down) and bad sound quality.
Any advice and how to go around the issue?
I've updated firmware but the issue doesn't seem to be that.
Best Regards,
Will

Hello WillMendoza,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
iOS: Troubleshooting AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4215?viewlocale=nl_nl&locale=nl_nl
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Turn off Bluetooth on your iOS device by tapping Settings > Bluetooth.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
Best of luck,
Mario

No sound when using Airplay for Movies on Apple TV

For reasons unknow, when I try to stream full length movies (Lion King and Nemo bought from iTunes) from my iPhone or Macbook Pro using Airplay, there is no sound. When I stream smaller movies, like Boundin' the Pixar Short, there is no problem.
Side note 1: Why do purchased movies not show up like purchased TV shows on Apple TV? I feel like I shouldn't have to use Airplay for movies if I don't need to use it for TV shows I buy.
Side note 2: For some Netflix movies played directly from Apple TV there is no sound. Other movies work fine and the movies that work or don't work seem to change day to day.
Thanks for your help.

Apple has not negotiated the rights to allow this is the assumed reason.
We can't even play Purchased music or TV Shows from the cloud in UK.

Disconnect sound when running windows 7 on macbook pro 15"

First of all, here are some of my computer specifications:
     Using macbook pro 15"
     Mountain Lion OS X
     Windows 7
When I use windows 7, I occasionally here the disconnect sound as if I'm removing something from the USB port. This happened more frequently this evening when I switched from using the mac operating system to the windows operating system using bootcamp. I have had my computer for a month, and this has just recently started happening. I have run upgrades for both the mac side and the windows side on the 24th of October. I take good care of my computer and have not done anything to cause harm to the USB ports. Please help.

I have exactly the same Macbook Pro as yours but mine has the matte screen. I bought mine in September 2006 but it is classed by Apple as the 'early 2006' Macbook Pro because they released the 'late 2006' Macbook Pro in October 2006, a few weeks after I bought mine :@. As I said in my post, http://discussions.info.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2307301&tstart=0 , Windows 7 is working fine on my Macbook Pro, so it should work on yours. Good luck!

IMac 27" Static Flicker when using Displayport In from Macbook Pro

Hi all,
Sorry about the long title
I have a late 2009 27" iMac with ATI 512Mb 4850 card and 8Gb RAM. I also have a 2011 Macbook Pro that I connect to the iMac via Displayport to use it as a screen.
The iMac sometimes displays an annoying flicker and "static" like screen issues when displaying the Macbook Pro screen. This does not happen all the time but seems to be more prevelant when I have had the machines on for a long time, or if I use them in the morning after they have been asleep through the night.
I've tried the cable (a Belkin one) both ways round and have tried wiggling it at certain points to see if that changes the static but nothing happens. I have also purchased a cable from Apple, but I did not realise it would only work for Thunderbolt drives, not displays.
I have a video of the issue here:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/1nkykc8j13qg9px/2012-04-13%2014.32.38.mov
Any ideas?
The only thing that I have chaged about the iMac since purchase is I now run the OS on an external Firewire drive as the internal HD sounds like it's failing (it makes a very loud seeking noise ALL THE TIME and slows down a lot when the machine has been on for a while. The external drive does not do this).
Thanks
Ryan

Hi, sparky96,
I do not have a satisfactory solution. The best I can do, as a work-around, is adjusting the iMac to its brightest setting, moving the MacBook Pro brightness several notches darker, and then aiming for a compromise in the image I'm working on.
As a result, I have no idea what someone else sees on his or her computer. However, that might be the case even if I could match the images on my two Macs. Others might have PCs that display reds as browns, for all I know. I do know that when I view a video on YouTube, it looks more or less the same on each of my computers. The human eye seems to make its own interpretive adjustments.
I have similar problems preparing artwork for printing. No matter what I do to calibrate the displays, the output from my various printers never looks right, and when I get back a book cover that's been printed on an offset press, I'm happy if it's reasonably close to what I get from my desktop printers.
I wish Apple, and Adobe, and Hewlett-Packard, and commercial printers and the whole industry would devise some kind of universal standards -- but I doubt that will ever happen.

System Crash when Playing Warcraft 3 on MacBook Pro running Windows XP

I have the latest 2.4Ghz 15" MacBook Pro bought about a month ago. I installed BootCamp and Windows XP. Whenever I play Warcraft 3 on Windows XP, the system CRASHES and RESTARTS. This thing happens 100% of the time. Any suggestions?

I have seen a number of posts with similar problems across all PC hardware manufacturers. This is either a WOW 3 problem or a Windows XP problem. Either way... this is probably not the best place to get a response. Since you're basically running a PC while using BootCamp... I would suggest you post your comments in the WOW3 support forums. You may want to do a search there first as there are quite a few people with a similar problem and see if any of their suggestions help you out.

Popping sound when attempting to call from Macbook Pro

Early 2011 Macbook Pro
Yosemite 10.10
Whenever I attempt to make a phone call (not FaceTime audio) from my Macbook Pro, instead of the usual call audio, I only hear popping/crackling noises from the speaker.
Does this sound like a software bug or a hardware problem? Are there any solutions?
Audio works fine for everything else so it doesn't seem to be my computer's hardware.
Any help is appreciated, thank you!

JerichoX,
I'd draw your attention to this thread:
FaceTime making strange clicking sound since OS X 10.10
Lots of people having the same issue. Myself included.
No fix as yet, though SMC reset works for a while for some people.
