I get a radio signal when playing music through airport express

Is there a way to change the frequency or anything?

huh! what do you mean you receive a radio signal?
the wireless signal between your computer/router and airport express is digital. in no way this signal could be mixed with an audio radio signal. if you have wireless interference you will experience music drop out.
you get a radio signal, you probably have to review your audio connection. how are you setup from the 1/8" audio jack of the airport express to your audio system?

No, you cannot seperate the audio and video stream.
You can use optical audio to a sound system (I use sony sound bar) and play the audio via that.

Hum When Playing iTunes Through Airport Express

I have recently rewired my surround system, and now I am getting a hum when I play music through my Airport Express. I made no changes to the A/V receiver as it pertains to the Airport Express. I get no hum when watching the TV, only when listening to music though the Airport Express. Any suggestions?

Might it be possible that you may have some form of Wi-Fi interference in the area that may be the source of the hum that you're hearing from the AX?
I suggest you perform a simple site survey, using utilities like AirPort Client Monitor (a part of AirPort Management Tools), MacStumbler, or iStumbler to determine potential areas of interference...and either, eliminate them or attempt to significantly reduce them.

Can't play music via Airport Express

I've successfully played music through Airport Express before, but for some reason I keep getting this error message now: There are no speakers connected to the Aiport Device "Living Room".
I have connected Harman Kardon speakers and subwoofer connected to the Airport, but it must not be recognizing the connection. I believe I have it correctly set up on the computer end...any thoughts?

Are these speakers USB or are they connected with the 1/8" audio jack? What is your setup from pluging the audio speakers and the subwoofer?

How to get blank TV screen when playing music

I am using Apple TV to stream my iTunes music to my television.
What setting do I need to make my television screen completely blank when playing music?
Thanks

Hi - thought that might be the answer!
Sadly, I cant connect the ATV optically, as my amp doesn't have an input, nor does the ATV have phono output, unfortunately.
Thanks for your reply
That was an advantage of ATV1 - analogue audio out (and component video, and the hard drive, and iTunes Extras/LP....I'll stop there ).
No reason trhey couldn;t potentially add as an option though:

No sound when playing music through dock with third party apps

Hello,
When I try to play music on my Iphone (3G, OS 3) through dock connected external speaker devices (like the B&W Zeppelin) using third party apps, i get no sound at all. Example of external third party apps are : wifi radios, alarm-clock programs, video viewers,...
So i get no sound at all through the dock connector using that kind of apps. Sound is ok only with Ipod, Itune (or other apple apps).
Has anyone encountered similar problems ? Any solution would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

I have done that from the first day (contacting the makers of 3rd party apps)- They say they use standard components provided by Apple. So I would like to know if anybody has succeded in listening, for example, any internet radio app though a dock station connection (zeppelin, or whatever speaker system that is not using the jack), or is this functionnaly actually blocked by Apple.
Thanks for your answers.

Do I need my PC turned on when playing music through AppleTV?

I got all the settings and can see my music library on my new Apple TV. However, when My PC is turned off the library music disappears. Is this normal? Does this new apple TV have a hard drive storage inside?

The ATV 1 has an internal hard drive to store your audio and video files locally on the unit. The ATV 2 has no such storage capabilities. So you cannot store music, movies or photos on it as you could on the ATV 1.
What would be really nice is if the ATV 2 allowed for an external drive so if you wanted to store files locally, you could. I like being able to play my music through the ATV without turning on any computers. It will be a sad day when the ATV 1 I have finally dies.

Can't browse internet while playing music over Airport Express

Hello,
I have a 802.11n wireless network using a D-Link DIR-615 router. I have 2 AX's, one for the printer and one recently purchased to play music on my home stereo. The AX's are set to join the existing network.
I can play music over the AX just fine, and I can browse the internet wirelessly just fine.... but...
When I am playing music AND want to browse at the same time, I can do so for about a minute, at which point the internet stops working (I get time-outs) and a couple minutes later, the music also stops. To fix it, I have to turn off AirPort on my MacBook Pro (using the icon in the upper right of the screen), and then turn it back on.
Why is this happening? How do I fix it? I've tried changing the channel on the router. I suspect it's something to do with the router... but Apple folks are so much more helpful!

Based on the information in your posts, you are likely encountering a signal strength issue, an interference issue with another wireless network or device, or a combination of the two.
iStumbler will help with identifying one or both of these potential issues.
When you open the application, check your signal strength. If you have a "good" signal, your wireless signal strength will appear in green. If it's yellow, you have a marginal signal, red, etc. If your signal is not in the green area, you need to position the router and Express closer together or try to eliminate any obstructions between devices as much as possible. A typical sheet rock and stud wall will on average, absorb about 15-20% of your signal.
Then look for other wireless networks that may be displayed in the iStumbler window. Any visible network that is using the same channel or a close adjacent channel as your wireless is a likely cause of interference. If you see this, change the channel on your router to see if you can find better airspace.
You may need to experiment with this a bit, as most modern routers allow a user to "hide" their network. So, it's quite possible that another network that you cannot see is interfering with your signal. All you can really do is keep trying different channels until you find a better setting or run out of channels.

Wlan router restarts when streaming music to Airport express

Hi guys,
Yesterday I received my brand new Airport express which I plan to use for streaming music from iTunes to my Stereo. Unpacking and installing the lovely looking AE was like x-mas eve and birthday all in one .
After the installation where I set up the AE to join my wireless network. My wlan is a WEP 64 bit encrypted one, I had some problems adding it to the network with the wizard of the AE tool, but this worked just fine after using the manual set-up procedure instead where I chose WEP 40 bit in the AE tool. I also upgraded AE firmware as a part of this process.
So, the AE pops up nicely in iTunes, and I started streaming music to them, and it worked perfectly... for 10 seconds. Then the music stopped, the play-bar in iTunes stopped, and I also noticed that my laptop (Acer laptop running Windows Vista) lost the internet connection.
After some investigations where I switched off volume adjustment on remote speakers in iTunes and reseting and re-installing the AE, I noticed that the reasons for the problems seems to my wlan router re-booted whenever I started streaming music to the AE. My wlan router is a Zyxel Prestige 660, and it has worked flawlessly for the last two years. The AE is connected to the network, it gets an IP address, and it shows up just fine in the IP list on the router, that is before it restarts... And once the router re-starts the logs are gone, so it's not possible to see what's happening in that end.
Has anyone ever experienced the same? What can the root cause be? Changing the wlan encryption is unfortunately not an option since the router is pre-programmed from my ISP. I'm considering changing my modem, but I'm reluctant to spending 150 bucks on a new modem if this may not resolve the issue.
Any comments or suggestions would be highly appreciated.

Part 2: The mystic restart of the router was solved through changing to a Thompson Speedtouch 780 (luckily my ISP sent me a new wlan router and I didn't even have to pay).
However, the problem with the music breaking up when streaming from iTunes to the AE remains; The stream is broken after just a few seconds, and it also seems to mess up other internet traffic on my laptop . I've tried with the AE in a number of different locations, even 1 meter away from my laptop - nothing works.
As it is now, the AE is useless. What a disappointment .

Itunes freezes when streaming music to airport express and to loewe air speaker at the same time?

Hi,
(first post )
I was recently offered a Loewe Airspeaker. I already had an Airport Express connected to a hi-fi system.
The Airport Express + hi-fi is in the living-room and the Loewe Airspeaker is in our bedroom.
Both are connected to my network via wifi.
I was trying to stream music from my iMac to both the Airport Express and the Loewe Airspeaker.
When doing this, I am able to get the same tune on both devices, but iTunes systematically freezes
=>music continues to be streamed but interface on the iMac gets the endless multicolor wheel !
Has anyone seen anything similar before, for ex. is there a similar issue when streaming music to 2 different Airport Express?
Any idea on where this is coming from?
Any idea on how to prevent this?
Thx in advance
Rodolphe
A few precisions on the configuration:
the iTunes library and corresponding music are located on a Mac Mini configured as a media server.
The iMac connects to the mac mini via wifi (shared folder). Home network is organized via an Airport Extreme.
Both computers run Mac OS 10.7.2 Lion and are up to date.

Well, repying to my own post... Might have found the solution: I tried to do the same with a Macbook Pro 2010 using the very same setup. And it worked perfectly! No freeze, no nothing.
One explanation I see:
my iMac is dating back to May 2007, a Core 2 Duo 2,16Ghz with 2 Go of RAM.
So the computer's characteristics (or the Wifi component or the combination of all of this) might be not robust enough to allow streaming to those 2 devices...
Anyone's got anything to add?

Can I play music through AirPort other than through iTunes?

Hey, I think this is a dumb question, but I'll ask it anyway. Can I set up my AirPort to play music that's not coming to it through iTunes, or is that the only way to feed music to my AirPort Express? For instance, if I wanted to play AOL Radio (which has its own player, not through iTunes), can I do so? Thanks for your help!

Take a look at the program "Airfoil" by Rogue Amoeba.

Very slow Mac when streaming music to Airport Express

I'm getting massive slow down on my Mac while streaming music to my stereo using my Airport Express (802.11n). The mouse is choppily moving around the screen, etc. The Airport Express is streaming through a D-Link wireless G router to my Mac which is connected to the D-Link network.
Has anyone experienced slow-downs like this? Could it be the channel my D-Link is on? Would changing the channel fix this?
Thanks

I'm actually using 10.5.8 on my computer. But I'm going to install Snow Leopard (with that combo update also) and I'll let you know if it works.
Here's a screenshot of Activity Viewer showing the dropout.

Cannot play music via Airport Express

I have airport express (hereafter AE) and have been trying to make Deezer connect to the AE which is connected to a stereo receiver. The following happens. When I configure AE to "join existing network" (which is my wireless internet connection network, that is simply a DSL connection) Deezer cannot connect and stream music - in this case I have internet connection but no music stream. When I configure AE to "create a new network" Deezer can connect to AE and streams music - in this case I have no internet connection but music stream. What I am trying to have is both an internet connection and music stream. An suggestions for a solution? I also need to inform you that with iTunes I do not have a problem. When I configure AE as "join existing network" I can connect to the internet and iTunes can stream music. So I do not really understand where the problem lies.

Hi Pitiger,
The article linked below provides a lot of great information and troubleshooting tips which will help you setup both your AirPort Express and DSL router, so that you can browse the web and use AirPlay.
