No audio with airplay

My Apple TV was working fine yesterday, but today it will not play audio when I try to watch streaming video via AirPlay on my MBP.  I can use AirPlay from iTunes on my MBP and can hear the audio when I play music, but still no luck with sound while streaming video. 

I found out that the built in firewall interferes with AirPlay (which I know is weird).
Try turning the OS X firewall off using System Settings -> Security. If AirPlay now works, turn on the firewall and add "coreaudio" to the list of exceptions. This worked for me.
By the way, Coreaudio is the OS X system driver for audio.

  • [Solution] No audio with AirPlay on startup (untitled, unknown artist, unknown album)

    I have the problem of airplay not playing audio on startup.
    While apple TV is in standby mode, if I connect my iPod touch or iTunes to
    apple TV using airplay, no audio will come out from my TV nor speakers.
    Music information displayed on TV will be untitled, unknown artist, unknown album
    while this problem is happening.
    I bet everyone's apple TV have same problem if you updated your upple TV to latest version.
    I contacted apple support regarding this problem.
    They actually tested airplay using new apple TV hardware they own.
    They told me that their apple TV has same problem exactly as I told them.
    But...they are not going to fix this problem!!!
    Only 4 people total reported this probem to apple support including myself.
    They will need more people who report this problem to make new update.
    So, I need your help. please report this problem to apple support.
    Here's the link.

    Not sure if this is related but I am going to post a response for similar problems that might help other folks. When my Airplay came through with no sound, I went to Settings, General, then Restart (at the very bottom). Then waited a few seconds for the tv to reset itself. Airplay streamed with sound after that.
    Today, I got that display you mentioned "Untitled, Unknown Artist, Unknown Album." All my panels disappeared, the screen was totally dark except for that "Untitled..." message which just kept flipping back and forth. The tv seemed stuck in a loop, unresponsive to the remote control. The solution to this is to unplug the power cord to your apple box for 3-5 seconds then plug it back in. You should then see the apple icon reappear on your tv as it resets itself and all your panels (apps) should return.

  • Why am I only receiving audio with AirPlay and the NFL Ticket App?

    Having trouble getting a picture via AirPlay with the DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket App.  I am sure there will be many disappointed NFL fans.

    Not all apps are enabled for video airplay. It is up to each developer to do so. I suggest contacting them if you would like it addressed.

  • After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolutio

    After recent upgrade to Yosemite on Macbook air bluetooth audio cuts out and associated video stops with audio. Likewise with airplay and Apple TV. I have deleted all my saved wifi connections and restarted numerous times. I do not expect a resolution from the community, but hope to get the attention of Apple engineers. If you are having same problems or have a miracle cure I am all ears.

    May start my own thread, but I'm having similar issues.
    I've been using an old iMac (running 10.7.5) and Apple TV for years with no issues. Last week I bought a new Macbook Pro running Yosemite and have had audio issues multiple times. The weird thing is that sometimes it works flawlessly, other times (like now) I spend half an hour just trying to get a song to play.
    My issues are: When I got to "computers" in Apple TV to stream my music, my music is sometimes chopper or intermittent, and I seen to know when it's going to happen based on the status wheel just before it plays. When I choose a song, the status wheel will spin for an unusually long time, usually an indicator that the audio is either not going to work, or stutter.
    When it does finally pull up a song, the playhead sits at the beginning of the song for a good 3-5 seconds before actually playing. Then, when it starts playing, it's all downhill. It will play a few seconds, drop out, play a few more seconds, drop out, and then ultimately the playhead will keep moving across the song as if it's playing, but there's no audio.
    Again, this is a new phenomenon never experienced by me. I've tried everything I could think of, some of them all at once:
    • restart Apple TV
    • restart Macbook Pro
    • quite iTunes/open
    • turn off Home Sharing on iTunes then reconnect it
    • unplugging and cycling both my modem and router
    None of these have alleviated the problem.
    The odd thing is, like this morning, the audio started up perfectly and never gave me any issues. It wasn't until later in the day that it started. Perhaps after the macbook pro had been put to sleep? Not sure.
    Regardless, this is an annoying trait, one that's new to me and my system (as stated, worked flawlessly until my new purchase), and is 100% limited to either a) the macbook pro b) Yosemite or c) both of them.

  • HT4437 I was able to bring a Video from Amazon Prime to my iPad, but with Airplay got only the audio through my AppleTv.  Any suggestions to get the video also (from iPad to AppleTv)?

    I was able to bring a Video from Amazon Prime to my iPad, but with Airplay got only the audio through my AppleTv.  Any suggestions to get the video also (from iPad to AppleTv)?

    Amazon Prime reply app does not allow video airplay - nor do several other content providers.
    It must have something to do with digital rights/copyright.

  • Annoying audio delay with AirPlay

    I'm very displeased to report that there's a tiny (and yet extremely annoying) delay in the audio played from a Sony Home Theather HT-CT150 connected via HDMI to an Apple TV with AirPlay compared to the sound from my iMac.  I've tried changing all the settings possible on the HT-CT150 to no avail and so, ridiculously, I had to connect the HT-CT150 to my AirPort Express from which standard RCA cables come out for a perfectly in-sync sound experience.  Conclusion, it is the HT-CT150 processing time that creates the delay and there isn't anything I can do about it and so my only option is to find a way to make my iMac to delay its sound somehow so I can adjust it to what I need.
    Obviously I don't want to have both the Apple TV and the AirPort Express connected to the HT-CT150 when one device should be able to handle the task.  Is there any app (in our outside the Mac App store) that can help me accomplish that?
    Thanks in advance for all the help you can provide!
    Jorge...

    I have the same problem. The first second or so is missing. It happens because my receiver has to "tune" in to the PCM signal. In the mean while my ATV is allready transmitting/playing the song and my receiver is still triyng to figure out what kind off signal is coming in, causing it to skip the first second of each song. Possible solutions are to let ATV wait with playing the song, wich involves some sort off handshaking between my receiver, my ATV end itunes. An other solution could be to put one second of "silence" in front of every song, so my receiver has time to sync to the PCM signal. Both of wich i don't know how to implement. I find it strange that my receiver has to sync to the PCM signal at the start of every song. Why does ATV not keep the PCM signal intact instead of dropping it between songs? My receiver is a Philips model. The problem does not occer when playing music via the iPad. Very annoing problem.

  • Yosemite issues with Airplay (audio and video stuttering)

    I have two very annoying issues with Airplay after upgrading to OS Yosemite (these issues were non-existent with the OS Maverciks) -
    1. Periods of Image and audio stuttering lasting approximately 20 seconds, coming on and off at regular and frequent intervals,
    2. It is virtually impossible to disconnect the airplay from the Apple TV by selecting "disconnect airplay display" - one needs to restart the machine to disconnect.
    The configuration I am using includes the latest release of Apple TV (with latest software), the latest Airport Extreme  (with latest software) and the 2013  iMac with the latest OS - Yosemite. I would like to reiterate there was no image and video choppiness / stuttering issue with Macericks. A serach for the stuttering issue shows it was reported by other users as well (following upgrade to the official Yosemite) and was first reported by a number of users during the beta testing of Yosemite.
    I would appreciate your advice how to fix the issue.

    Hold down the menu and down buttons on the apple TV remote for 6 seconds. It worked for me.
    I must admit to be getting a little tired of finding workarounds to Apple's glitches. I now spend hours searching the net to find out how to get their products to do what they say they will.
    Remember when things just worked?

  • HT204291 Cannot get audio on hbogo app with airplay

    Unlike most users of hbogo with airplay I get video but no audio when streaming to my 3d generation apple tv.  I have tried every speaking setting I could find on the
    TV but to no avail.  I am trying to use the TV speakers because there are no external speakers attache.

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
        1.    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
        2.    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
        3.    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
        4.    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
        5.    Restart your router.
        6.    Restart your mobile device.

  • With Airplay, is it possible to send audio, when mirroring, to Airplay-enabled speakers?

    When mirroring an iMac onto a TV using Airplay via Apple TV, is it possible to send the audio to Airplay enabled speakers instead of using the TV's speakers? This potentially means that one could have surround sound whilst mirroring the screen onto the TV.
    Thanks for any help in advance!

    If the speakers are airplay enabled then you can just set the audio output via the Apple TV settings

  • Any app audio through Airplay no longer works on ipad2 after 5.1.1 update. Working Airplay on my iphone.

    I have a working Airplay connection to my Pioneer VSX-1021 Receiver. My iPhone 3GS and iTunes on my PC connect and send audio with no issues.
    On the ipad2 through the music app for instance, I am able to select the Receiver as an Airplay destination but the blue Airplay icon soon goes white and it defaults back to iPad. The scrub bar and time counter never advance. Similar results with Garage Band. Settings on ipad and iphone are the same.
    I have noticed this since upgrading to 5.1.1 but it could have been this way prior to the upgrade.
    Any ideas?

    Honestly, this is a WAG but try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.

  • Outputting All Macbook Audio via Airplay

    Yes, but not with AirPlay.

  • Having difficulties with AirPlay

    Recently bought Apple TV 3gen
    Linked it up everything fine its just basically not hooking up with both my devices iPad mini and 4 s
    I really want to view home video footage recorded and be able to view all my apps etc i have on both devices ?
    AirPlay is on Apple TV have tried doing the double click on the home button twice but nothing
    Am I asking to much of these devices please advise

    When you did this, did you slide the icons over to reveal the AirPlay icon in the tray?  If you want to mirror what's on your iPad screen you need to tap the AirPlay icon, select your ATV, then select the screen mirror option.
    If you've done this and still can't get it to work, can you at least get audio to AirPlay from the iPad Music app to your ATV?

  • 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, ***?

  • Problem with AirPlay mirroring with iTunes

    Hi,
    I have a new iMac (purchased April 2013) running OS X Mountain Lion and am having issue with AirPlay mirroring with iTunes via Apple TV 3 running the latest update.
    I have no problem streaming ITunes music (audio) to my Apple TV 3 via AirPlay.
    However, when I enable Airplay Mirroring to ATV3 (either via System Prefs or via the Airplay Mirroring menulet icon at upper right of the screen), 2 things happen:
    1. My iMac screen gets mirrored to my HDTV via ATV3 as expected (good)
    2. Music (audio) stops playing via ATV3 (bad) - this is the key issue I am trying to resolve
    When i disable Airplay Mirroring, I am able to again play music via ATV3.
    Am I missing a setting somewhere to enable BOTH video and audio Airplay mirroring from my iMac via ATV3?
    Thanks,
    Kevin
