No audio in airport mirroring

I'm running Mountain Lion on my desk top and am able to see the video on my tv w connected apple tv but I'm not getting any audio. When I try to chose the Apple tv for the audio ouput the selection instantly kicks back to the headphone port. I can select other ouputs but not the Airport. Any ideas?

What works for me is switching the audio output in System Preferences before turning on mirroring.
I did this and it worked perfectly to watch HBO GO.
Again, turn on Apple TV>change audio output on the computer to Apple TV>turn on mirroring.
That should do it. Good luck.

Airport mirroring not working on i7 Mountain Lion

Hi all,
I've trying to make use of Airport Mirroring on my i7 27" iMac with my Apple TV2. I can play video and audio from iTunes (or from Apple TV) so the devices are clearly connected OK on my wireless network.
But no matter what I do I can't get airport mirroring to work. I've gone into Settings, Display and ticked the check box for Show Mirroring in the Menu Bar where available" but I don't get any airport icon in my taskbar.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rob

Hi,
Airport Mirroring is using Apple TV to display what is on your iMac screen onto an Apple TV connected TV screen. It should also work for audio ie play the audio through my AV system.
I can get this functionality to work using a third party app - I've downloaded the trial version of AirParrot - but this should work in Mountain Lion and doesn't on my i7 iMac!
Thanks,
Rob

No Audio in AirPlay mirroring from my mac (OS-ML) to Apple TV

I get a picture but no audio.
I saw this discussion:
No Audio when Airplay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV
BUT in my case I can't change the sound settings to AirPlay.
When I click it with the cursor, it tosses me back to Internal Speakers, and won't let me select AirPlay.
Any suggestions?

I'm in the same boat.
Found an instruction elsewhere to flip audio to AppleTV BEFORE switching to Airplay Mirroring. Should not be necessary (several extra clicks where one should suffice), but if that's what I have to do, OK...
But as these users are reporting... it doesn't work. I click on the AppleTV option and it keeps reverting to Internal Speakers. I'm not able to actuall select the AppleTV for audio output.
So, ***?

Streaming audio to Airport Express via AirPlay?

I have wired HDMI sending throughout my house, all my media equipment is in my lounge, Apple TV 2, PS3 and Cable TV, my audio is analogue for all but ATV2 which I just bought not realizing that there is digital audio only, d'oh!
Sadly my projector upstairs where I want to watch my media has zero audio capabilities, video is great, audio for ATV2 is non existent.
Can ATV2 stream audio to Airport Express? Every other iDevice I have can so I'm sure the hardware is capable, the old ATV could do this but I suspect Apple would like me to purchase an ATV2 for each room but i dont want to drop another £101 for hardware I already have.
Thanks

Aw, that's what I thought, thank you for confirming Rudegar. Back to the drawing board..

No audio video audio using airport express?

does anyone know why you cant listen to music video audio thru airport express. music works fine...not audio.

Chris--
I'm sure it's the same reason you can't listen to audio through Airtunes and on your computer's speakers at the same time: there's a significant delay as iTunes processes the audio, sends it over the network, and the Airport Express decodes it and sends it to your stereo. The video on your computer would be out of sync with the audio from the speakers.

Airplay - use built-in audio output while mirroring

Yesterday I tried to configure my headless mac mini to use airplay mirroring to my ATV3. This in general works beautifully.
The thing is, I use this machine as hifi-transport and want to continue using the local audio output (S/PDIF / Toslink / USB DAC) during mirroring.
I could not find any way of doing this. in Audio MIDI mixer, the sound output switches to Airplay as soon as I enable mirroring. If I then use the Audio MIDI utility to switch back oudio output to the built-in output, it automatically deactivates the mirroring session.
Even creating an aggregate and/or multiple output audio device in Audio MIDI utility and put together Airplay output and the built-in output, it does not work...
Anybody have any idea how to solve this?

I like to chime in on this one too as I was just about to create a thread of my own.
My current home situation:
living room: airport express connected to receiver
work room: macbook pro with mountain lion in combination with Spotify
I would like to have the sound of spotify be sent simultaneously to the optical out of my macbook and the airport express in the living. So I created an aggregated device using this support file: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3956# - i ticked the box on both AirPlay and Built-in Output but there is no sound getting transfered to the Airport Express.
If I only tick the Airplay checkbox it works perfectly in the living room and if I only tick the Built-in it works perfectly on the macbook. But not both checkboxes combined.
Screenshots for clarification to be found here: http://imgur.com/a/K0KND#0
screenshot 1) works as intended: sound on airport express via AirPlay
screenshot 2) does not work as intended: only sound on macbook pro
screenshot 3) works as intended: sound on macbook pro via Built-in output
So any clue why the setup from screenshot 2 does not work?

Can I send Apple TV 2 audio to Airport Express

I can't seem to find an answer for this respect to the ATV2. Everything I read talks about using Airplay to stream from iTunes on a computer to either the Apple TV or to an Airport Express. However, what I'd like to do is have the audio from my Apple TV (whether it's Netflix, Internet Radio, rented movies, etc.) sent from the Apple TV to my home stereo. I have no way to get a wire all the way from the TV to the stereo so I was hoping to get an Airport Express and plug it into my stereo and then hopefully the audio from the Apple TV could play through it. I just can't confirm that it will work. The chat guy at the Apple Store said yes but I have no confidence in that answer because he couldn't give any details on how it would be set up.
Does anyone have an answer? If it won't work with the Airport Express, does anyone have a solution that I could implement to get the job done? I'd like the have better audio when watching movies or playing slideshows with music.
Thanks.

Sorry, but unlike an iTunes host, the Apple TV is not a Media Server and, as far as I know, you would not be able to stream from it ... at least not yet. Interestingly, with the Apple TV 2 using iOS as its operating system (the older version used a slimmed-down version of OS X), there may be an app developer out there that will come up with the means to do so in the not too distant future.

Bad sound quality streaming audio via Airport Express

I am streaming audio from iPhone to Apple Airport Express (Airplay). Via optical cable the signal goes to Cambridge DacMagic and then to Stereo Amplifier. Sound is not good, there's some kind of 'chattering'.
When using AirFoil instead of Airplay sound is much better, but then gaps appear from time to time.
Please tell me, what can be the reason for it? And how to solve?
Thanks in advance.

Mr. Tessarex,
I use the Airport Exreme as router and Airport Express (2011, direct plug-in model)
Some facts I learned from the Airport-app on my iPhone:
Wireless clients from Airport Extreme:
iPhone 150Mb/s (802.11 a/n) connection: excellent
Acer laptop 144Mb/s (802.11 b/g/n) connection: excellent
The Airport Express:
240Mb/s (802.11 a/n) connection: good
I bought the song "Love Me Like You Do" (Ellie Goulding) via iTunes.
As you adviced me I tried to play it via iTunes, and streamed it from iPhone to Airport Express.
Especially listening to the bombastic part of the song (from 3:14). Sound was tolerable.
Playing the song from iPhone via Spotify: sound is awfull, totally overloaded.
Playing the song from laptop via Spotify (Airfoil): sound is good.
Playing the song from laptop via iTunes (Airplay): sound is good.
The song never plays 'Excellent' in any way. I Think the song was recorded 'over the top'.
Even when you listen to it via headphone, it sounds very messy, "on the edge...".
I am happy that most songs sound good. So far playing Spotify via laptop and Airfoil gives the best results.
According to the figures from the Airport-app, it seems I will never get optimal bitrate with my current system.
As amplifier I use the Luxman L505u, usually connected tot Airport Express via Cambridge Dacmagic,
but during testing via normal analog cable (without Dacmagic). So far I think the Dagmagic is not the problem.
What do you think, after reading my story?
Thanks in advance
Peter

Apple tv audio via airport express?

I want to play apple tv output sound from airport express attached speaker, because my led monitor don't have any speaker
What should I do

Sorry, but what you are trying to do would not be possible. Instead, you would need to connect the Apple TV audio output directly to an audio receiver that supports the appropriate format based on which version Apple TV that you have.

Streaming audio to airport express

With iTunes there is an option to send your audio to the Airport Express router. Is there a way or app to send audio (master output) from Logic to the Airport Epress? This would be very usefull to listen to my mixes on my home stereo without using long cables...

Yes, there is. I use Airfoil along with Airport Express for this purpose.
You can download the program here: http://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/
The only thing is that this program cost a few bucks, but that is a one-time charge, if I am correct. Works fairly good I must say. Sometimes I get a few drop-outs, but that is rare.
You can stream any audio source through AE with this program too.

Digital audio cable airport express

What digital audio cable do I have to buy to be compatible with Airport Express?
And where can I buy it?
I have to connect it to my amplifier that has a digital input.
Thanks
Giovanni

You would connect it to the audio port of your AirPort Express.
or

Movies audio using airport express via i-tunes

Hi guys
Have no trouble at all listening to music through air tunes using separate speakers, however when i go to watch a movie or watch a podcast using i-tunes no sound can be heard from the external speakers connected via my airport express? Is this me or is it just the way it is?
Cheers
Nick

ok, after some reseaerch it seams that there is a lag between video and audio unless you use the supplied airfoil video player. You can drag video files in to airfoil video but not movies purchased from i-tunes.....happy to be proven wrong on that one mind!
Anyway, a nice little app IMO!

Audio from Airport Express

Someone told me they thought the new Airport Express has a fiber optic toss link audio jack as opposed to the standard audio jack for better sound quality. Any truth to this? Doesn't look like if on the apple store website but thought maybe I'm missing something.
The old jack just doesn't offer good sound quality like fiber optic.
Thanks

The AirPort Express (AX) has always had an optical audio output as well as an analog output.
www.apple.com/airportexpress/specs.html states "3.5-mm audio minijack for analog or optical digital sound".

HT1515 How to setup laptop use both 3G internet and audio via Airport Express

Laptop connected to internet via 3G mobile phone network, but when connected simultaneously an Airport Express to stream audio, the laptop can not connect to internet as it try to connect internet through Airport Express. So how to setup to use both.

Thanks jakeloveslucy.
I tried to setup the network by using Airport Utility, the problem is Airport Utility can not find Airport Express while I can use Airport Express to stream music very well. Can you suggest to fix this.
I use windows 7 64 bit sp1 ; Airport Utility 5.6.1.
