No Audio when Airplay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV

Hi Community,
it happens that after disconnecting the aiplay mirroring the next streaming into the apple tv doesn't play the audio. it stays instead in the speakers of the Mac.
i tried to change the output on audio preferences but i can't click on it! the selection just bounce back to internal speakers.
the only way to fix this is to restart.

This works: clicking "Restart". Thx! Please note, Apple bug fixers....

AirPlay Mirroring from Mac to Apple TV intermittent sound drop-off

I can't stream iTunes or Spotify to my Apple TV without getting intermittent sound drop-out (say every 30 seconds) when I use AirPlay mirroring through my Mac. This odd thing is streaming through my iPad or IPhone to Apple TV is perfectly fine; so is using my Mac to stream to my Sonos speakers. I can even stream iTunes pefectly fine through only the Apple TV alone - so it's nothing to do with my broadband connection
I have today performed upgrades to the Apple TV and my Airport Express firmware but the problem persists. Anyone else experiencing this or found a solution?

Hi, same here for me. Using AirPlay for streaming music from my Mac Mini (iTunes latest version) to my ATV2 (software latest version) has intermittent drop-outs (about every 10 to 15 sec for 5 to 10 sec). At the same time streaming to my Airport Express station in the kitchen works fine. Using the VOX player streaming from the Mac to the ATV works fine, only that I can only stream to one destination. Tried streaming from iTunes to ATV only, the problem remains. Streaming video - even HD - works fine. Using the ATV to select music from my Mac's iTunes library works fine, too. Still I want to stream from my iTunes on the Mac to several destiations including the ATV. Seems to me to be a problem of iTunes. I think the effect appeared after an update of iTunes or OSX, because it had worked fine before, already.

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, ***?

HT201335 Can you Airplay Mirror from iMac to Apple TV?

I want to play a DVD on my iMac and airplay mirror to my Apple TV. Is this possible?

If you have a newer Mac yes, I don't remember the cutoff date but I think it's mid 2011.
If yours is older than that there's a program called Airparrot you can download that will let older Macs do Airplay. For me it worked great and it's only $10. It has a 20 minute trial so you can make sure it works before you buy it.

AirPlay Mirroring from ML to Apple TV has 3 minute lag

I have an iMac (Late 2011) running 10.8.2 and an Apple TV (3rd gen) running 5.1. When I turn on AirPlay Mirroring, it eventually starts, and when it does it has a tremendous lag that refreshes every 3 minutes or so. I have the settings optimized for the TV. Apple TV works fine when mirroring iPad (3rd gen) and iPhone 4S. I would love to sit on my couch and use my computer, but this is making it impossible.

Welcome to the Apple Community Philip.
Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
Restart your mobile device.

Apparently there is an issue if you push the Apple Remote before you set your computer to mirror. Whatever I did, it had locked it in that state. Once I stopped mirroring, then went onto the TV screen and restarted the Apple TV (#1 above) it then allowed me to choose mirroring on my Mac and the audio automatically switched from the computer to the TV (making the computer now mute), BTW the volume needs to be maxed on the computer as that will transmit to the TV if your volume is low on the computer. Then you can raise or lower it the way you want on your TV.
Yay!
Hope this helps others.....

Hi jmcivor89,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like you’re running into performance issues when using AirPlay Mirroring with your new MacBook Pro. Take a look at the article linked below, it provides a lot of great information and troubleshooting tips that may be able to help you resolve the issue.
Resolve issues with AirPlay and AirPlay Mirroring from iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support
Resolve performance issues with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring
If you are experiencing intermittent playback or significant network lag with AirPlay or AirPlay Mirroring, it could be due to a weak Wi-Fi connection, interference, or the distance between the Wi-Fi router and your iOS device, Apple TV or AirPort Express.
Try these suggestions:
Ensure that other devices are not trying to stream to the same Apple TV at the same time.
Ensure that your Wi-Fi router is set up with the recommended settings for the best performance.
Certain external devices, such as microwave ovens and baby monitors, may interfere with a Wi-Fi network. Try moving or disabling these devices.
If possible, try to locate your Wi-Fi router in the same room as your iOS device and Apple TV.
If your wireless and wired networks are the same, try connecting your Apple TV to the router via Ethernet instead of Wi-Fi.
If the Wi-Fi router has an external antenna, check to see that is it connected properly and in good condition.
Use the Wi-Fi network troubleshooting guide to resolve interference and other issues.
If you are using iTunes, please see these troubleshooting guidelines.

Every time I tied I experienced a couple of seconds lag, this there anyway to fix this? I currently can't use my apple tv with my laptop as it just doesn't work!

Airplay mirroring on Mac Mini (late 2012) doesn't work, extended display does...

Airplay mirroring on Mac Mini (late 2012) doesn't work, extended display does... What's going wrong here?
Details: OS X Yosemite 10.10
Apple TV 3rd generation, version 7.0
Switching Airplay on on Mac Mini works. It goes automatically on extended display mode. Switching to mirroring works for about 1 sec and then it switches back to extended display mode. On my tv screen i see my second desktop. Funny detail: it has the desktop background i used previously. Another funny detail: I had exactly the same problem when i used the previous versions of OS X and the Apple TV software...
Who can help, please!

I also have been having problems with Airplay on my 2014 Mac Mini see Mac Mini 2014 Airplay Display Disconnect Bug?
I"ve also noticed that my Apple TV (3rd Gen) does not appear in the iTunes Airplay list on my Mac Mini whereas it does on my MacBook.
I've booked a call with Apple Support for next Sunday to discuss the issue.
If I get any useful info I will pass it on.

So thank you all for your time to read it and **** you Apple

I really hope a hack comes out to allow this feature for us "older" users.

Cannot do AirPlay Mirroring on Mac Pro.

I am trying to use airplay mirroring from my mac pro to apple tv (3rd Gen), but the icon does not come up.
I have tried going into system preferences, then displays, but even then it does not give me the option for apple tv. I have tried updating both the mac and Apple TV. My mac is reletively new- bought sept 2012 and has the OS X software.
ITunes will connect to apple tv, but just not airplay!
If anyone can shed some light on this, I would really appreciate it!
(Also both devices are connected to same wifi)
Thank you

He meant, this forum does not have anything to do with notebooks like MacBook Pro (though they keep coming here!) the Pro is in Workstation Professional models and 65 lbs which are not portable or laptops.
