HT201343 Apple Tv mirror + Airport Express audio output = How to?

I want to mirror my MacBook to the Apple Tv but I want to send the audio to the Airport Express.
If I ask my Apple Tv to send the output to the Airport, it works just fine.
If, after that, I use the iPhone to mirror the screen and watch some video on youtube or Twitch, it works fine either.
But if I use my MacBook Pro to mirror the screen, the audio output is sent to my TV through the HDMI cord.
Is that any way that I can solve this?
What I want to do is just mirror my MacBook screen with the audio coming out through the Airport Speaker.
Thanks for any help, folks!

Hi wennberginho!
I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you with this issue. If you have a 1st generation Apple TV, you will want to reference this article:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3291
However, if you are using a 2nd or 3rd generation Apple TV, you will want to reference this article:

Hope this helps. Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

  • Why has my audio from Apple TV to Airport Express suddenly stopped working?

    Hi.
    For over a year, I have had my Apple TV and Airport Express connected together and the audio worked perfectly fine. All of a sudden the audio playback on movies and Netflix had dropped off considerably. I now have to turn my amp upto 70 to get even the slightest sound. Music plays fine to the AE but not Movie Audio.
    Anyone else having the same issue??
    I'm confused because it's worked ok for a year!!
    Any help please??

    try restarting all of them

  • Apple tv3 and airport express

    I don't know...... a way to send the music from Apple TV3 to an airport express?!
    Thanks for help!

    Both Apple TV and Airport Express are pulling the music from iTunes.
    Your question is a bit unclear.....are you trying to stream an online station from AppleTV over to Airport express so you can use the analog audio output on airport express?

  • Itunes 11 issues with airplay (doesn't recognize APPLE TV or Airport Express

    I have Iphone 5, 4 and $s. Ipod, Macbook Pro 13 and 15, Apple TV and Airport Express. They all worked perfect (Itunes 10) until i downloaded Itunes 11. No this system is a full on POS. Can not connect to Apple TV or Airport Express. I run Aiport Utility and it works for awhile. Drove to the Apple Store. Airport is fine. Everything else still connects to the WIFI network.  Seriuosly is Apple trying hard to make stuff work like Micorsoft?  I'm so ****** as I spent an hour on the phone with Apple support and they could not fix it and sent me to the Apple store.  Itunes 11 is the issue.  Operates the same on MB Pro's with Snow Leopard.

    Yesterday the mirrowing would not work. Went to Apple Store they were clueless.also had no sound from my ear phones. 4 hours later. I downloaded the latest software 8.0 on  my IPAD 3. MIRACLE THE MIRRORING WORKS AND MY EAR PHONES WORK? NO HELP FROM THE PEOPLE IN THE APPLE STORE

  • Apple TV doesn't show up in iTunes when AirPort Express is running at the same time - Can't play music on both Apple TV and AirPort Express speakers together

    Hi there!
    I am trying to play music from my Mac on multiple speakers, Apple TV and AirPort Express. But as soon as the AirPort Express station is plugged in, the Apple TV does not show up in iTunes anymore. When trying the same using iPhones Remote app it works perfectly.
    Does anyone of you have an idea why iTunes does not show me both Apple TV AND AirPort Express? (it has nothing to to with the IP adress as the adresses are different).
    Thanks for any help!

    As my english isn't too good I made a screenshot to show you what I mean.
    As you can see in the image below iTunes only shows me the computer speakers and the AirPort Express. But at the bottom you can see that iTunes actually recognized 3 different speaker (Mac, AirPort, Apple TV 2). Why does the Apple TV not show up in the multiple speakers window? Any ideas?

  • Hi there, I'm thinking of buying both a new MacBook Pro and a small 22 inch LED tv for my kitchen... what would I need to be able to use (wireless of course) the tv as a monitor for the new computer? Apple tv? Airport Express? something else? Thanks.

    Hi a,

    There has been "talk" on and off of Apple TV doing it (and people have done it with a hack), but I haven't really followed it.
    It would be a whole lot cheaper getting an adapter (as needed) and cable and simply pluggin it in when you're in the kitchen.

  • I just purchased Apple TV AND AIRPORT EXPRESS. I am questioning if  I need it when I already have a Netgear Powerline AV 200 Adapter Kit XAVB2001. Does the Airport Express do the same thing?

    Thank you so much.  Any specifics I should know about prior to connecting? The goal is to watch  Netflix from my iPad or iPhone 5 on my tv (located in different room from where Comcast internet modem is hard wired to main computer in house).  Movies would depend on wireless transmission to a smart tv not connected to modem.

  • Can you share iTunes music w/Apple TV and Airport Express?

    Can you share iTunes music between Apple TV and Airport Express?
    I have been very happily using 2 Airport expresses to share my itunes library from my iMac to 2 other rooms. I just bought an Apple TV for the bedroom (and I ASSUMED to replace the Airport Express), and can not figure out any possible way to have the same music in 3 rooms any more.
    Anybody have any ideas?

    I think you may have misunderstood the OP, I believe they wish to be able to walk from room to room and listen to the same music over the tv and the express. itunes will send music to the tv and the express at the same time but in two different streams, so even if you chose the same music over each device it would be quite difficult to sync.

    It is line level.

  • Can I send the radio/music from Apple TV to AirPort Express?

    I am considering purchasing an Airport Express to send music from my Apple TV to another stereo in the house. Is this possible or does it only work with iTunes from my iMac?

    Sorry, but the Apple TV is not an iTunes server. Media on the second generation Apple TV is streamed from the Internet or from a local iTunes server. In turn, the Apple TV can then send these streams out of either its HMDI or optical digital port ... but not out via wireless to another Apple TV or AirPort Express Base Station.

  • I have set up apple tv and airport express but cannot get apple tv to recognize the airport express wireless. Any solutions?

    Airport Express set up a wireless network in my classroom.  Apple TV is working but only recognizes the school network.  I would like a solution other than connecting the two with a cable. That would require hanging cables since I am using apple TV to run a video projector.

    Hi there,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting articles below and verifying that you have the Apple TV and Airport Express configured properly.

  • Living in apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room). I've  an airport express (new ) so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom

    Living in an apartment, here it has only wireless (no wired cable in the room) signal using for the internet connection. I've  an airport express (new) ,so how can I do for extending signal (wireless) for using in myroom. because the wireless signal is so weak.

    Unfortunately, you won't be able to. In order to do so, you would have to configure both the AirPort Express and the other wireless router for a WDS. Since it will unlikely that the other router is another AirPort, nor will you have the ability to administer it, you won't be able to get this accomplished.

  • Mavericks mirroring with airport express audio

    I am using a Macbook running Mavericks to mirror my desktop.  I am sending it to a projector connected to an AppleTv.  Currently the audio comes out only on the tiny projector speaker. 
    Can I stream the audio to a speaker connected to an Airport Express? 
    I have tried this but can not get the audio to work except when I play music in itunes.

    This is exactly what I would like to do as well. I have found a quasi work around through the use of the app 'beamer' on my macbook. It allows me to play movies from my macbook, sent to my projector via ATV, which then sends the audio to my AE.
    However I cannot get it to work with desktop mirroring. It seems like a bug/oversight on Apple's part rather than any big issue that requires complex solutions though....
    would be great if they could solve this.. *hint hint*....
