HT5517 Multiple AirPlay Speakers From Apple TV

Is there no way to keep the speakers connected to the Apple TV playing AND send the audio to another set of AirPlay-enabled speakers? When I choose another AirPlay speaker, the audio from the Apple TV stops. If sending audio via AirPlay from Apple TV to other AirPlay-enabled devices is and either/or proposition, I don't even really see the point...

Your final sentence really makes the problem clear.  If turning on remote speakers automatically turns off the ATV speakers it's not really clear what Apple thinks the point of this option is.  Surely we often wish to turn on one or more sets of remote speakers in addition to the ATV so that we can spread the music throughout the house.  And as you note, the original AppleTV could do this easily and gracefully.  I too had really thought that they had really fix this - but it turns out they they still are forcing us to use the Remote app for playing through muli-speakers.  How disapp[ointing.

  • Airplay speakers from ATV2/3

    In the settings-->Airplay section, it is possible to send audio to airplay speakers from apple tv. Example to another airport express or something. Does anyone know if this feature is restricted to audio from music only. When I play a movie, the audio comes from apple tv rather than the airplay speakers.
    Thanks.

    Just audio from music, it seems.

  • Watching iTunes Movie on Apple TV while streaming sound to multiple AirPlay speakers

    Hi Everyone,
    I bought a pair of Airplay speakers and Apple TV 3rd generation to watch my Movies in the iTunes library. Importantly, I want to listen to the movies sound on multiple Airplay speakers while watching. So far I couldn't activate the speakers, once I started the movie.
    Has anyone an idea, how to do that?

    Thanks a lot for your answer.
    I'm doing signal processing and work with videos professionally. The audio signal is technically always separated (and extractable) from the video frames. I don't see why  the audio shouldn't be possible to be distributed to different airplay clients?
    Do you mean that this option is just not supported by apple? In this case, do you know if it is at least possible to stream to multiple apple TV's at the same time?

  • HT5517 changing airplay speakers doesn't work, also photostream

    I have a network of airplay speakers that work perfectly all over my house from my iPhone and mac perfectly.  I was playing around with my newest generation Apple TV 1080P, and while it finds all of the rooms, when I select another room no sound comes out.  I am very confused.  Also, I noticed that my photostream has not updated in a while.  I restarted the Apple TV and it added another 50 photos or so, but still 100 short of the photos I had updated.

    Then this function in Airplay settings is completely useless.  It's just a screen.  What is the point of being able to select a different room through the AppleTV (with a checkmark), and nothing happens?  It was one of the touted features of the latest update for the AppleTV.
    Here is the note from Apple TV Support Section. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5517
    Changing AirPlay speakers
    You can use AirPlay to play music or other audio content on the Apple TV on other AirPlay speakers.

  • Is ther a way to send music to multiple airplay speakers on my ipad without having to use itunes

    Hello all, l have a question that relates to air play and my ipad 4.
    ls there a way to send music to multiple airplay speakers with my ipad 4 without having to use itunes as the master controller on my other PC. l know it is possible with itunes, but surely the ipad should be able to play to more than one airplay device at a time, we are living in the year 2013.
    Is there an alternative and if there is not, could someone please explain or point me in the wright direction why it is so!
    Thank you all in advance for your comments

    Yes there is and I'll be happy to email you how. [email protected] is my address.

  • What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices?

    What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices? I would like to get some good speakers to be used with my iPod, iPhone and iPad. Ideally, they should be able to play using AirPlay and be quite powerful, but with a good design if possible.
    I am particularly interested in the Fidelio range of speakers by Philips.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Best is going to be a matter of opinion.  What environment are the speakers going to be used in? How large is the room? What type of music are you going to play? What features/functions would you like in the speakers? What price range are you looking for?  All of these are going to effect which speakers will best fit your needs.

  • Can't connect to airplay speakers from iTunes

    I suddenly can't connect to airplay speakers from iTunes on my new Macbook Pro - they are visible but cannot be selected. I can connect to them from other Macs and iPads. Can anyone help, pls? I have set the whole network up several times, rebooted system ie.

    I had this happen to me on the odd occasion but now have it sorted. If I'm going to use my Airport Epress(s) I first make sure that my PC is connecting to the AE before I even turn on iTunes.
    A problem I was having was that my PC was connecting to my wireless router by default (specifically when my laptop was turned off) and not to the AE. As a consequence when iTunes started it greyed out the remote speakers and sometimes the button was not even showing up.
    Now that I ensure my PC is talking to the AE everytime I do not have a problem.
    I do have one annoying thing with the AE setup though, if I'm playing music over the AE and I unplug any USB device (printer, USB Key, External drive etc) the wireless connection is broken and I have to start iTunes. I suspect it is a hardware issue relating to my particular HP PC as I have just reformatted and reinstalled Windows XP and it still happens. I can live with it.

  • Using airplay speakers with apple tv

    Hello,
    I have been using airplay from my iphone to my apple tv for years now and it works great.  I wanted to expand my speaker network so I purchase a bose airplay speaker and want to stream that music to my apple tv (which is hooked up to my stereo) and also stream to the speaker at the same time.  It looks like I should be able to do this from my apple tv using the mulit speaker option? So I have the speaker set up on my network and can stream to my iphone to it fine using airplay.  I then change and stream to my apple tv (can only do one airplay source from iphone) In the airplay menu on the apple tv I see the bose speaker.  When I select it, it puts a check mark by the speaker but I have no sound from the bose speaker?  I have tired mutilple times but still cannot get it to work?  Can anyone confirm that you can go from iphone to apple tv to addtional speakers and have it work?  Or must I use itunes on the computer to stream to apple tv then it will support the mutilple speakers?

    No, it really doesn't.
    This is not a current feature of the ATV.

    how to play your music or music from pandora to multiple speakers from iphone.  I am able to do this on a pc but not able from iphone why hasn't apple implemented this software for iphonex

    If you're referring to commercial video DVDs, it's because breaking the copy protection present on almost all such DVDs is illegal in the US and to date, the DVD producers have not licensed anyone to legally transcode a copy-protected DVD into any other format. There are hints that it will eventually be possible with the new formats (Blu-Ray, HD DVD), but nothing firm has been said.

  • AirPlay mirroring from Apple devices to Apple TV not working

    Hello, I just bought a Apple TV (3rd gen) the other day. I updated it to the newest firmware, but I still cant use AirPlay. I have a Macbook Pro (mid 2012) on mountain lion, a iPad 2 (ios 6.0.1), and a iTouch 4th gen (6.0.1), but I cant seem to get airplay to work on any of them. All devices are on the same wifi and airplay was turned on the ATV. On my macbook, I would go into System Prefs/displays, but would be told that no devices were detected for airplay. I have double clicked the home button on my iDevices and scroll to the left looking for the airplay button button, but nothing. I even turned on homesharing on all devices (to see if that would do anything for airplay), and made sure all devices were running the latest os. Does anyone have an idea on how I can resolve this problem?

    Sorry, with my limited experience with Apple TV, I think I'm out of suggestions.

  • Airplay audio from Apple TV via Express and Video to TV

    All:
    I am hoping to play video to TV via HDMI and at the same time use the Airport Express connected to better speakers to play the audio via airplay.
    Not using the optical out for audio as my speaker system does not have the optical input. I only wish the new apple tv 3 rumored to be out next week has one more audio output. In the mean time i was hoping apple tv could do the simultaneous airplay audio through airport express.
    Did anyone try this?
    Thanks

    I have the same question, and have not found any way to mirror the audio portion of AppleTV video to Airplay speakers on my network.
    But if your amp and speakers are close to the TV, you don't need to use the optical port. You could either use and HDMI splitter, or use the audio out on the TV to pass the audio to the amp/speakers.
    NOTE: Latency may be one of the reasons Apple doesn't want to attempt this—the audio not syncing with the video... This weekend I am going to try using two third-party products, AirFoil and/or AirParrot, to see if I can stream video to the ATV and send the audio to other speakers. AirFoil has a video player built in that they say addresses the latency issue.

  • Please!  Airplay from iOS to multiple Airplay speakers

    I'm moving into a new house and would love to skip Sonos or any other expensive multi-room stereo solutions.  Airplay with iOS 7 and the latest Airport Express devices is really reliable and easy.
    Big limitation is not being able to stream to multple airplay endpoints simultaneously from my iPhone and iPad.  It works fine from my laptop, but I don't want to limit playback to just real computers when we want to listen to the same music inside and outside (on separate systems).
    Please vote this up for iOS 8!
    Respectfully,
    Joe

  • Problems connecting iPod Touch to multiple airplay speakers

    I have an iPod Touch 4th gen and Apple TV 2nd gen which is also linked to my stereo. I have just purchased an airplay speaker but can't link to both it and the Apple TV at the same time and there is no option for multiple speakers. Is this possible?
    When I open ITunes on my main computer this option is available, but I rarely boot up the computer and just want to be able to select the TV and the speaker from my iPod.
    Thanks

    This is a mix of wired and wireless with a speedtouch router providing the ADSL connection to the outside world and wired & wireless to one part of the building and then the Airport Express plugged in to a wired ethernet socket to provide wireless access in another part of the building and has a fixed IP. DHCP and fixed networking are provided off all wired and wireless access points. Thus most laptops see two wireless access points. The Speedtouch uses WEP 13 chr encryption and the Airport uses WPA2. All the Mac laptops work just fine off either source, even an old IBM from my wife's work using a PCMCIA netgear card can connect.
    However the iPod Touch can see the Airport, will accept it's password, shows the signal strength meter but will not perform, either on DHCP or assigning fixed IP. It does work on the Speedtouch but with limited range. I've tried downgrading the encryption to WEP on the Airport but with no luck.
    Hope this helps.

  • Using multiple wireless speakers with apple TV

    Dear All
    I am loving airplay from my iphone to my apple tv - pandora mainly - is there any way I can have wireless speakers set up to my apple TV so I can get sound throughout my apartment?
    many thanks for any help you can give me
    best
    Huxman

    We used to be able to do this, by the way; the original (white) Apple TV did this, and it was very useful. This is just one of many things, e.g. local storage, that Apple discarded in the "upgrade" to the black model. It's also much less reliable; I have constant problems with the remote app losing contact with the ATV, or taking forever to find it; the ATV claiming that it can't contact the iTunes Store, which is fixed by a reboot; iTunes mysteriously refusing to use certain ATVs via AirPlay while using others which are configured identically (with no error message or indication of what's wrong); etc.
    Apple really screwed up this product, both in terms of features and software quality.
