Looking for a wireless audio from any source`

I have an Apple TV, iPhone 6, and Dell PC.  I am shopping for a  self-amplified speaker system which can WIRELESSLY stream audio over my home WIFI network (probably not Bluetooth) for BOTH the following:
MUSIC AUDIO, from ITunes, Spotify, apps from iPhone or PC
VIDEO AUDIO, from Apple TV or broadcast TV
Shopping around there seem to be several brands which  do one or the other, but it’s not clear to me there is any system that does both. Is that true?
For example, Apple’s AIRPLAY enabled speakers (or normal speakers hardwired to my TV) seem require streaming though Apple TV. Can I also stream Spotify or other apps with AIRPLAY speakers?  And NON-AIRPLAY speakers (like SONOS) clearly support most streaming sources, however do they also work with Apple TV for video, and if so without hardwiring the speaker to the TV?
I’m looking for something that does it all, and without complicated workarounds, and with a seamless interface on my device. Wirelessness of the speaker itself—i.e. not hardwired to signal source like SONOS does—would be an added bonus, but not necessary.
Some brands I am looking at: KEF  SONOS  Bowers & Wilkins Bose
Can you help me, or set me straight if I am wrong about these assumptions?

you should checkout the program called airfoil it let the user stream audio with airplay from any program not just itunes
so that would make spotify be able to play out of airplay speakers be it an Apple TV or airport express with speakers connector or a
device which was build to support airplay

  • Can imovie for ipad receive audio from wireless headset

    can imovie for ipad receive audio from wireless headset? i have a logitech wireless made for ipad?

    1 - Imovie for iPad is made to work with video shot with an IOS device. You would have to make sure it's compatible
    2 - Export the movie to your camera roll. Connect to computer and import just like you would from any camera.
    3 - it exports an MOV file, h.264 encoding (720P)
    4 - Yes you can export a project and continue to work on it on the Mac, make sure you have the latest version.

    For some reason, your Mac doesn't recognise that a keyboard is present, so it looks for a wireless keyboard. The question is, why doesn't your Mac recognise that a keyboard is attached?
    First, you need to make sure you remove all peripherals, especially USB peripherals (the keyboard is on the USB bus). Then restart holding down the Shift key. This should boot in Safe mode. If the computer boots normally (not in safe mode) and the keyboard is still not working, try resetting the SMC
    Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
    <http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964>
    If that still doesn't fix the problem, then the keyboard (or its controller) is probably damaged and needs to be replaced.

  • Satellite L50-A-19N can't play audio from multiple sources

    I can't play audio from multiple sources. This is very annoying when I have 2 youtube videos playing, if I start playing something on the media player, there is no sound on media player, it's the same when I have 2 media players open and 1 youtube video playing, youtube video doesn't have sound..
    It goes away when I plug out my headphones..
    I already have all the latest drivers, last DTS driver update was in 2014, sound update this year's february..

    I don't know if this makes sense, but I got newer DTS sound driver which I found, It's not my laptop model, but they all seem to be the same - v1.1.88.0
    I uninstalled DTS software and still had the same problem, so it's not affecting sound driver in any way..

    IDT audio driver has newer release date, but the driver version is the same as the 2013 one..
    Why are toshiba releaseing old driver as 'NEW' ?
    2nd is my speakers advanced settings, nothing changed when I disabled "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"

    I see that the option called “give exclusive mode applications priority” has been checked.
    Usually different applications and programs can access the sound card simultaneously.
    For example: you can hear the sound in game, while you can run your own music via an external player.
    This is prevented with these options “give exclusive mode applications priority”.
    Maybe you should disable (uncheck) this option to prevent the different applications for using this exclusive mode stream.
    I did it for my DAC. I set the DAC for exclusive mode. Once my audio playback software starts to play music, no other software is able to share the DAC.
    However, I use Win 7 and Realtek sound driver… It’s another configuration.
    So it’s not known to me if your issue is related Win 8.1 system or maybe limitation of sound driver… it could be also possible that one of your sound applications don’t allow multiple sound streaming.

  • Recording Audio from additional sources:  Why doesn't the "Audio File" show

    Hi, when recording audio from another source and saving: where does logic store the file? Shouldn't it be in the "audio' folder or the set path you set it to>?
    For some reason after we record the "Audio File" we recorded is not to be found in the "Audio" folder we created within our project?
    clues?

    Can you define "from another source". I'll assume for now, you mean, from an external live source, like a vocal, or guitar.
    Yes, if you had saved the song using the "Save As Project" command, the audio path to that songs audio folder should have been set. and all audio files recorded into that song would reside in that location.
    The only thing that you might want to check, is hit "A" with the song open, and make sure "choose path" is set to "Song Recording Path" and not "Global Recording Path".

  • How do I add a "PDF printer"  print to PDF so that I can create PDFs from any source I can print ?

    How do I add a "PDF printer"  print to PDF so that I can create PDFs from any source I can print ?
    I am using ADOBE Reader X Thanks

    Pat;  using Windows you can create a "PDF printer" which is a virtual device that you can select when you want to create an Adobe PDF file from anything you normally would print to hardcopy.  As an example if I were on a webpage article that spanned two or three pages so a screen capture wouldn't really work, if I had a "Adobe PDF Printer" I would select that as my default printer and then print the webpage article.  Instead of the webpage article going to a real printer and producing hardcopy, the Adobe PDF printer would ask me for a file name and then "print" the file by creating an Adobe PDF file.  Does that help ?  Best regards,  Doug

  • Since Apple's last Update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from any source. I receive a message saying, Importing photos but nothing happens. When I click on Stop Import, nothing happens. I must press the On/Off button to exit iPhoto.

    Since Apples last update on 6 June 2014, I have been unable to Import photos from ANY source. When I attempt to do so, I receive the message "Import  Preparing to inmport..." I've waited 10 minutes but nothing happens. When I click on the icon, Stop Import, nothing happens. When I attempt to Close iPhoto i receive the message, "Photos are being imported to the photo library. Please wait for import to complete." When I click on OK, nothing happens. The only way I can exit iPhoto is to press the On/Off button.

    After loading this file I was sucessful in importing photos from a web site, my camera memory card and a CD containing photos.
    That is a good news.  We now know, that iPhoto is working as expected, when you are switching to a different library.
    But this is puzzling:
    I then see a box with two Librarys listed, both have the same name except for the following and are listed as:
    iPhoto Library.photolibrary but one has (default) after its name which is the one which is always displayed when I load iPhoto.
    Underneath the box is written:
    /Users/paulfkardian/Pictures/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
    Underneath this are three boxes titled: Other Library    Create New    Choose
    I highlighted the the File without the (default) after its name and clicked on Choose. A Library was loaded which had my photos (about 9,822) from about 7 months ago. Underneath the box is written diferently than the file always loaded and says:
    /Users/paulfkardian/Pictures (original)/iPhoto Library.photolibrary
    You are having two "Pictures" folders in your Home folder, Pictures and Pictures (original)? And each has a different iPhoto library - one working correctly, and one not?  Do you remember, when this second "Pictures" folder has been created and what caused it?  Did you restore your Home folder from a backup some time ago?

  • Looking for a wireless router / accespoint with radio time restriction

    I am looking for a wireless router / accespoint with a radio time restriction but didn't find any information about this option. Are there any routers with the option to turn off the wireless signal between a specific time?
    The router will be used at a small office .
    I hope you can tell me more.
    Cheers
    Michel

    Well there is No router which linksys/cisco manufacture that can stop the wireless signals to be broadcast for a specific time..
    However what you can do is you can get into the setup interface of the router and disable the SSID broadcast and that will stop the router to broadcast the wireless signals...and whenever you need to enable it you can just go back into the setup page of the router and enable the broadcast again.

  • I keep getting a 'Looking for backup disc' message from my  Time Capsule.

    I keep getting a 'Looking for backup disc' message from my  Time Capsule. I have set it up several times without any apparent problems (I have even done a Hard and Factory reset). Everything seems fine until I ask Timemachine to 'back up', and then the problems start.
    Any ideas?

    I had the exact same problem. I bought the Time Capsule this past July and it worked fine for about a month then it told me it hadn't backed up in 10 days and was stuck looking for the backup drive. I called Apple and they said the reason was that the Time Capsule was in Bridge mode. I launched Airport Utility and sure enough, it was. I changed it to DCHP and NAT (Airport Utility -> Network tab -> Router Mode). After updating the Time Capsule, I couldn't even get on the Internet, let alone do a backup. A logged into the software for my cable modem and discovered that it too was in Bridge mode.
    It turned out (for me) that neither should be in Bridge mode (which is for connecting two networks). Your cable modem only has one IP address. Your Time Capsule should be doing the NAT (Network Address Translation) which translates the internal IP addresses on your network to the one IP address your cable modem has. When I switched my Time Capsule to DHCP and NAT, it conflicted with the fact that the cable modem was also trying to do this. The answer was to turn this off on the modem (allowing all the packets to just go through the modem to the Time Capsule and let IT do the NAT). I did that last week and since then, my Time Capsule has been working perfectly.
    1) Go to your cable modem (via a browser, enter "http://192.168.100.1"). Log-in and find the setting that indicates NAT. If you're uncomfortable doing this or can't find it, call your cable company and ask Tech Support to do it for you. They can do it remotely.
    2) Launch Airport Utilty. Go to the Network Tab and change the router mode to "DHCP and NAT".
    3) You may need to restart your modem and Time Capsule. I can't remember if I had to or not.
    I hope this helps. I tried many things but this is the only solution that fixed it for me. And it makes sense. Only one device, the cable modem or the Time Capsule, can be doing the NAT.

  • Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

    Since my last software update, my iphoto 11 will not import any photos from any source. The circle just spins...when I go to force quit, it says iphoto not responding. Backed up iphoto library, uninstalled and reinstalled iphoto. Still not working. Help!

    Option 1
    Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
    If that fails:
    Option 2
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .
    Regards
    TD
