No audio with apple tv?

i get graet picture but NO audio ?
anyone have a solution?

Just to clarify as (sometims people confuse component with composite), you're using:
1 - Component leads - a set of 3 jack to jack leadscoloured red/green/blue to similar inputs on the TV (composite video is a single yellow connection)
2 - You have a standard pair of RCA stereo leads running to the TV audio input (coloured white and red usually)
You probably know all that but some people don't.
Assuming you have the correct cables and video is full colour, then video sounds fine.
For the audio, analogue sudio should just work out without changing any Settings, so possibilities are:
1 - you've connected to the TV's audio out not the audio in sockets
2 - your TV has to be manually configured to set the audio input to a particular video input - check the manual
3 - AppleTV audio out is defective
If there's no audio with music when playing, hold the up key on the remote which controls audio volume for this only in recent updates.

Wireless home audio with Apple integration?

I am trying to build a wireless home audio network with my iMac, iPhones, and iPads. I want to install speakers around my house (back deck, bedrooms, basement, kitchen, etc.), preferrably in wall, and connect them to multiple Airport Express stations. The Airport Express stations will all connect to my Airport Extreme, then my iMac. I would use iTunes 99% of the time as that is where my collection of music is. I would use the iPad and iPhones to operate iTunes using Home Sharing/Remote app. In each area where speakers are, I would be using on/off switches with volume control. The music would be streamed to every area, and by turning on speakers in that area, you would have volume control. If you don't want audio in the kitchen, then you turn it off in the kitchen, and it works every else its wanted still.
I am asking what is needed for this to happen. Please be very descriptive as to what components are needed. I have a moderate understanding, and welcome any and all suggestions. Thanks!

Nothing?

Audio dropouts with Apple TV 2

I bought an Apple TV 2 yesterday. It is wired into a Belkin wireless N ADSL router, along with an xbox, and my Mac is connected to the router via wireless N. My Mac is set up with iTunes Home Sharing, and also runs a DLNA server that I use to serve up video and audio to my xbox. The xbox does this flawlessly.
The Apple TV audio out put drops out regularly, several times minute. This is streaming music and video from the Mac, and also when watching previews of HD movies from the iTunes store. The video keeps playing, interestingly, it's only the audio side that seems to suffer.
As the xbox works fine, I don't believe it is the wireless connection between the Mac and router.
As content from both my Mac and the iTunes store suffers, it's looking like an issue with the Apple TV itself.
All my devices have fixed ip addresses. I have tried switching Dolby on and off on the Apple TV, but it has no effect. My Apple TV told me there was a software upgrade available shortly after I plugged it in, and I let it go ahead. It reports version 4.1.1.
Can anyone suggest a solution? Is this a problem that others are experiencing?
Thanks,
Mike.

Well, having tried everything I could think of, it looks as though the problem is all down to a faulty optical audio cable! So, nothing to do with Apple TV at all

No audio with Samsung UN40H6350 and Apple TV

Connected the latest Apple TV (3rd gen?) with a new Samsung TV (UN40H6350) over HDMI. I can hear bleeps when navigating the Apple TV, but when I play a movie or music via iTunes or Netflix or Youtube, it doesn't have an audio.
When I use AirPlay from my MBP, I can play iTunes music and it works. So it seems like the sound works ok via HDMI, but any other content just won't play sound.
I tried AirPlay from iOS7 to Apple TV with Apple's Trailers and Youtube app, still no audio.
Thanks

So I have resolved it, it turned out to be an issue with Airport. The sound was redirected to Airport Express from Apple TV. If you tap and hold the circular button on Apple TV, you can set the sound output from Airport Express back to Apple TV.

Video and audio not synchrone with apple tv after update mountian lion on macbook pro

i have a problem with my apple tv. after i bought and instaled mountain lion on my mac book pro i have trouble with apple tv and my laptop. when my laptop conects with apple tv most of the time my wifi doesnt work on my macbook but on my apple tv it stil does work. when it does work and i play a movie of my own by using itunes the first second the video and audio is synchrone but after that audio is at normal speed but the video gets behind. and i am getting sick of it. does sumbody reconize the problem and can help me with this problem?????

Same issue here- I can airplay my amazon prime library just fine from my iphone 5 but on my macbook- (mavericks, 15 inch 2013 retina with quad core i7, nvidia 650 M and SSD) it just sputters and lags.
I have noticed web video is considerably worse than local content, giving me pauses of up to 2 or 3 seconds in which video stops but audio continues in the amazon player. Youku video, however, seems relatively stable. Our subscription speed is 25 mbps, so that should be plenty to stream SD video from Amazon and doesn't account for why it would be nice and stable from the iphone, but not the mbp.
Playing light, locally hosted steam sidescrollers like Limbo is better but gives periodic drops in framerate on the Tv. when mirroring the framerate remains steady on the MBP screen.
Games airplayed from my iphone seem relatively stable, though with a noticably lower framerate on the TV than on the phone.
It seems these issues have abated considerably since yesterday's Apple TV update, but are still curious nonetheless and I'm not sure that the update yesterday was specifically meant to address those issues or if I'm just getting a time with less network interference now.
Comcast recently installed a new router/modem/phone combo, replacing our old separate modem and router setup. I'm going to test if putting the network on a different channel helps.

Hi rafromffx,
You can use AirPlay to stream content from an iPad to your Apple TV. See this article for how to do it and the requirements -
Use AirPlay to wirelessly stream content from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

My samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio

my samsung says video out from i pad is not supported. i am connecting with apple dock using hdmi. I do get the audio any suggestions?

Jeffrey-
If the HDMI input to the Samsung is not compatible, does it have a VGA or composite input? I have both the HDMI and VGA adapters for the iPad, which work with the small Vizio HDTV I tried. I understand a composite video adapter is also available.

Can i use my usb audio interface with apple tv? For example Focusrite 2i2

can i use my usb audio interface with apple tv? For example Focusrite 2i2

Afraid not - AppleTV does not support USB audio devices.
I assume you don't mean using the device as an optical input for the computer, connecting AppleTV's optical out to it.

Use airplay with Apple TV without wifi connection

Is it possible to use the AirPlay feature on an iPad with Apple TV without being connected to the internet via wifi?
I'm thinking about getting my mom an iPad for X-mas later this year so that she can help some of her visually impared students. She has always wanted a good visual aid for all of her students and I figure that this would be the best solution. The only problem is that I'm not sure if she would have access to the school's wifi connection.
I would normally suggest that she use the HDMI adapter but the projector in her classroom is mounted on the ceiling and it would be a bit of a hassle to have to disconnect the cable every time so that the kids wouldnt play with it. So I figure if she can stream her content on her future iPad to the Apple TV wirelessly, she would be able to achieve what she has always wanted to do. I dont think she will be streaming anything to the Apple TV like youtube or anything like that but it would be a nice tool to have in the event that she wants to present something to her kids wirelessly from her iPad.

Unfortunately you can't send audio from the Apple TV to an airport express, but you can send audio from your mac/pc to the airport express via iTunes/Airplay, you could also send audio from an iPod/iPhone to the express. The express supports both optical and 3.5 mm in a unified port.

How can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.

how can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.
I have LCD projector on one wall and connected ATV to it via HDMI.
Speakers on the other wall and connected to APXpress.

To be honest the times we've wanted to have music from more than one set of speakers, I've usually used my mac's iTunes library and controlled it either from the mac or from my phone, since they're not really the times we have any TV on anyway. I've tested AirTunes from the Apple TV but can't recall whether it worked with content from a streaming library.
Now I've got something to do.

You can only use Component to Scart converters if the scart on the telly is RGB enabled (unlikely on the Venturer). If youonly want to use the ATV as a way of moving music about & are not bothered about nice graphics etc, you can try connecting the ATV green component out plug to any composite video input (the yellow one). This should give black & white playback on your TV. If you have no composite video input, I had no problems using a composite plus audio to scart adapter (yellow red white, connect the green of a component cable to the yellow & you should get black & white)

Disappointment with Apple customer service's response to my iMac G5 issues

The following is a copy of the letter that I will be sending to Apple in regards to my recent dealings with customer service. What do you guys think I should do?
To whom it may concern:
Let me begin by saying that I have been a loyal and avid fan of the Mac since 1999. I have converted several of my PC friends to the Mac, and I would consider myself to be the quintessential Mac "geek" (posters, T-shirts, you name it). I have owned a Macintosh LC 575, Power Macintosh G3 (Blue & White) and Power Mac G4 Cube, in addition to my current machine, an iMac G5. However, my recent experiences with Apple customer support have left me thinking that maybe the Mac way is not the smooth, customer-first experience that I thought it was.
As I mentioned, I currently am using an iMac G5 (rev. A, 20" 1.8 GHz). Unfortunately, the iMac was a victim of the well-documented power supply issue (http://www.apple.com/support/imac/re...ensionprogram/) several months back. The power supply would heat up to such high temperatures that it eventually burned out, and I could not power on the machine. I brought it in to my local Apple Store (Oakbrook, IL), whereupon they wrote up a repair order, and I had my Mac back within 4 days, all without paying a penny. "Wow, excellent no-hassle service," I thought, and rightfully so.
Over the last couple of months, my iMac has further developed a couple of smaller, but still annoying and "not-very-Apple-like" issues. First, the fans have developed a consistent, cricket-like squeak - that is, you can hear the fans turning, sort of like an old wheel that needs oil. In my quiet office, it is VERY obvious, and is especially distressing when I'm trying to do audio and MIDI work. The second issue is that the slot-loading Superdrive has gotten to the point where discs that are being ejected often fly out of the slot and do not stop, falling onto the top of my desk, or occasionally clear off the desk onto the floor.
A few days ago, I decided that I had had enough with both issues, and decided to initiate a chat with a support agent on Apple's iMac support web page. After explaining the issues to the agent, I was transferred to a "specialist," to whom I then had to re-explain the issues. Further irritating me was the fact that they provided me no solution other than to visit my local Apple Store, and they would further diagnose the system.
So tonight I headed over to the Apple Store Oakbrook with the iMac in tow (mind you, not the lightest thing to be carrying around, and a pain to have to disconnect peripherals etc.). I had made an appointment prior to showing up...in fact, Apple's new Concierge system seemed very elegant and user-friendly, and I was able to make a 7:20pm appointment at around 2:30pm. I made it to the Apple Store at about 6:50pm, and saw my name listed on the Genius Bar screens as being 2nd in line. There was a man with a 15" PowerBook that was being helped by the Genius behind the bar, so I sat and waited patiently. About 40 minutes into my wait, a woman with an iPod mini walked up to the bar, seemingly waiting for assistance. Within two minutes, another Apple employee approached her, briefly looked at me and asked if I was waiting for help. When I said I needed assistance with my iMac, he told me that I would have to wait for the next Genius, turned to the woman with the iPod mini and proceeded to diagnose her problem.
Further irritated, I waited another 10 minutes or so, at which point the same employee turned his attention to me. I explained the fan and Superdrive issues to him, and he took the iMac to the back room for another employee to take a look at it. About 10 minutes later, he came back out with the iMac and said something to me that just floored me. He told me that his colleague that looked at it could not find anything inherently wrong with the fans, and that "since it's not a Pro desktop, there are bound to be squeaks in the fan system" (almost verbatim what he said). He said that they cleaned the fans, and tightened the eject mechanism in the Superdrive, and that if I continue to have issues with it to bring it back in and they will further diagnose it.
The message I have taken from this experience is two-fold. First, Apple has officially gone from being a computer company to a consumer electronics company. The fact that I literally was skipped over after waiting 40 minutes and pushed aside for an iPod user who had waited TWO minutes and was not in the Genius Bar queue shows that Apple's priorities have shifted. Secondly, Apple does not truly back the quality and craftsmanship on which they pride themselves. Just because I do not own a "Pro desktop," that should not mean that a squeaky fan system is an acceptable situation. I bought an $1,800 computer that was advertised as "whisper-quiet" and I should not have to pay $3,000+ just to be reassured that I will be taken care of. I expect excuses and glancing over of issues by companies like Dell that make cheap bare-bones systems. I do not expect that from Apple - if Apple is going to hold themselves to a higher standard, they should back up that talk with true customer-first service.
So I am now sitting in front of my rickety-sounding iMac, wondering what my next step should be. I appreciate you taking the time to read this, and I would further appreciate a follow-up and resolution to this situation.
Thoughts?

Send it. I feel for you, but the most sympathy you'll get is from fellow users on this board. These forums were one of the best ideas by Apple. Whoever thought it up is probably getting 1% of iPod sales as commission. Besides users helping users so Apple doesn't have to handle nearly as much tech support directly, this board is also a place for people to vent so Apple doesn't have to address your concerns. I'm not saying these boards are a bad thing ... they are very helpful, but you have better odds at winning the lottery grand prize than you do to get a reply back from Apple from a letter like this.

Is it possible to replace the iTunes (Mac) 10 band EQ with Apple's 31 band EQ?

Apple supplies a very nice 31 band graphic equalizer as part of its Audio Units. This is the same Audio Unit as the 10 band graphic EQ. You choose to use 10 octave bands or 31 1/3 octave bands from within the module. So I guess it should be possible to use the 31 band EQ from inside iTunes Mac. Anybody figured out how?.
Why do I need it?. My current stereo music palyback system is comprised by a MacBook Pro, a PreSonus FireBox D/A converter and a pair of Meridian M2 active speakers, which, good as they are, have an annoying, narrow 3 dB peak at 3 kHz. The nearest bands on the iTunes 10 band EQ fall exactly to each side of this peak (2 & 4 kHz), so to attenuate the 3 kHz peak I need to push down the 2 & 4 kHz bands a bit, but the resulting filter is far too broad and the outcome is never pleasing. I tried with Apple's AU's 31 Band Graphic and the Parametric EQs from within Fidelia and the result is quite good. But I don´t like Fidelia's interface and limited library management capabilities, so I prefer to use iTunes as the main music player.
I tried running the iTunes audio through AU Lab using SoundFlower, and it does work when using the Mac's Buit-in output, but when I choose the FireBox output AU Lab stops receiving any audio. Switching back the AU Lab output to built-in audio resumes the audio input to the AU Lab document. I tried all sorts of combinations with no luck. Maybe this is because the FireBox is also an audio input interface?. Anybody knows how to fix this issue?.
But all this fuss would be saved, and a lot of people around the world would have a much better life using iTunes in their Macs, if Apple allowed choosing to use the 31 band graphic EQ from within iTunes, which has the narrow 3.1 kHz band that I need to flatten out the frequency response of my speakers. Many other users mught also benefit from the finer control to correct loudspeaker or room acoustics defficiencies.
Any ideas?. Would Apple please allow users to choose the rpeferred EQ: 10 or 31 band?. Thanks in advance!

This is perfect: https://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/
Even in trial mode, it allows you to insert every AU plugins you want, configuring each application with a specific audio chain you desire.
I'm currently using it for music (Itunes or Spotify, 31 band Eq as you said), but for watching movies could be a good choice as well.
I find it particularly useful when I watch movies at night. In order not to **** off the neighbors, I put a compressor at the beginning of the audio chain to reduce the dynamics, allowing me not to have crazy volume jumps.
Best,
Luca

Streaming iOS Podcast audio to Apple TV

When streaming audio from the iOS Podcast app to Apple TV, I lose the ability to adjust the volume of the playback on my (6.0) iPhone 4. This only happens with the Podcast app. I can stream audio from Downcast, Safari, and the Music app to Apple TV and adjust the playback volume on my iPhone.
I also have an Airport Express. The iOS Podcast app, along with all the other apps mentioned above, work as it should with Airport Express.
iOS Podcast seems to have a problem with Apple TV.

I seem to recall reading, somewhere, that video streaming is limited currently to the Videos app; iirc, they're still working through rights and other issues with other potential users.
Don't have ATV and am currently feeding our tv using component AV cables, so don't pay a lot of attention to these issues.
Out of curiosity, though, why would you pick this forum instead of the AirPlay one to be looking around and posting in?

No audio with apple tv?
