No sound from Netflix on apple tv 2

I can play a movie from Netflix on apple tv 2 and I get no sound but i can play the same movie from netflix on my ipad 1 and i have sound. how can i fix the sound on my apple tv?

when people have surround enabled but stereo speakers connected the stereo speakers are front left and right
but most audio in surround really come from the center speaker
so you do get audio just not the audio you want
one only notice when the media is in surround otherwise all speakers play stereo even the ones you people have not connected
it's not a bug it's a setting which is set wrong if
by the user it's a error 40 if it's the default setting then one could advocate that apple chose a wrong default value
as more people would only have stereo then surround

Hi Kappy Thanks for your answer. I did a reboot on my Macbook as suggested and this operation is going on non stop for 14 hours and on the screen always appears the same message that you can see in the picture in attachment. Any ideas?

the video wasn't on mute... V confused and would like to fix it. Any suggestions?

Can I get 5.1 Surround Sound from Mac to Apple TV?

Hi,
I have an iPad, iPhone and an Apple TV, and I love airplay, such a great feature!
I'm thinking of replacing my desktop for a mac and I was wondering; if I had a 5.1 surround encoded video file on my mac, would I be able to push the whole screen to Apple TV through mirroring and still get the 5.1 sound output to my audio receiver and speaker setup?
I'm NOT asking if I can airplay an mp4 encoded movie through iTunes at 5.1; I know I can already do that on my desktop and it works fine.
What I'm looking for is the ability to simply mirror what's playing on the mac to my hdtv through Apple TV, while still retaining the full 5.1 surround mix and outputting it to my audio receiver (i.e. Without having to convert the file type and drag it or play it in iTunes).
So before I take the plunge and spend over a grand on a mac, is this possible?
If this isn't possible I will probably just get a Mac mini and plug it directly into my receiver via hdmi. I can't see any problems doing it that way (I hope!)
Any info here would be greatly appreciated.

Hi,
Thanks for your assistance, but I spent quite some time researching this before posting, and the post you link to (which I've already read) doesn't actually answer my question, that person is asking about his wireless speakers receiving individual sound channels through airplay. Other discussions, which I've also looked at, seem inconclusive.
I was really posting in the hopes of finding anyone who had personal experience of trying to play a fullscreen, 5.1 surround video file using airplay mirroring from their mac to their Apple TV, and if they received 5.1 sound.
Thanks again for your help though.

I sometimes don't get sound from my Apple TV (beginning of 2013).

I connect the Apple TV with my Reciver with a HDMI cable.
I get sound: When I move in menus, When I watch movies from iTunes store and when I use Airplay with only sound (spotify).
I don't get sound: In Netflix app(Apple TV) and YouTube app (Apple TV), Airplay with video and sound content (like YouTube app (iPhone), Tv play apps (SVT and TV3))
The sounds have workt recently, since that I havn't change any hardware.

When downloading movies form netflix my apple tv streaming keeps stopping ? ?

While streaming movies from Netflix through Apple TV, the movies keep stopping. My WIFI signal is strong. Can anyone help? Thank You.

Ok so I've been doing more testing. It's all videos on the iTunes store. Anytime I try to download a podcast or stream it or anything it's super slow. To download an episode of Diggnation it tells me over 2 hours to download but the time keeps climbing and I just stop the transfer.
Some people said it's an Open DNS thing? Maybe it is but it's not computer specific and I couldn't find a way to change the DNS settings in my Airport, only on each computer. I tried deleting PLists and restoring my Apple TV and restoring my Airport and nothing is working.
I don't know if it an issue with me, my ISP or Apple. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

No sound with Netflix

When I atempt to view a movie from Netflix streaming i do not have sound. The image quality is fine.
I am using HDMI.

Hi @alp50
Welcome to the HP Support Forums!
I understand that you are not getting sound from Netflix via the HDMI connection. I am happy to assist.
Do you get any sound when using Netflix directly to your notebook, or is it only when play the video to the other display or TV via the HDMI cable?
Are the any other websites that you have noticed the same problem with?
Using that same HDMI connection, do you get sound using other applications?
Also, please post the full product number for your notebook. See the following if you need help in finding that.

TS3623 When I play movies from Netflix via AppleTV, the picture is very bad quality (looks like the first color movies from 1960).

When I play movies from Netflix via Apple TV, the picture quality is like a color movie from 1960. When I play Netflix on the computer or Iphone, I have no quality problem. Also, the movie plays for 4 minutes, then freezes and download for another 5 minutes before continuing. The signal strenght on Apple TV show 3 boxes out of five. I have the Apple TV set up about 30 feet from my Airport, separated with drywall walls and on hardwood floor. I tried to find the answer of my problem on the Apple troubleshooting site without success. Finally, I am trying to download an updated software for my Apple TV and Apple TV tells me there 4 hours left to the download; is that normal?

I did the SPEEDTEST, and my download is 25Mbs. My connection should not be the problem. I use Shaw cable with HIGH SPEED INTERNET. If I watch it on my computer or Iphone, the picture quality is excellent. The problem is the communication between my Airport and my Apple TV. At the store, the guaranteed me there would be no problem anywhere in the house. As I mentionned earlier, the signal has to travel between walls and floor. I get only 3 boxes out of five for signal strenght. I moved my AppleTV 3 feet from my Airport and I donèt have anymore problems; image quality or download speed. But of course, I do not want my AppleTV beside my computer. The reason I bought it is to be able to watch Netflix and my computer content on my TV in the family room. That was the whole purpose, but the AppleTV does not work well at that distance. I may as well bring it back to the store and continue to rent BD dvds.

TS3789 NO Sound from the Apple TV unit.

I have no sound at all. Just used it 30 minutes ago and it worked fine while using Netflix. Also tried restarting unit, but still no sound. Used AirPlay with ipad2, and get pictures but no sound. Get sound from tv using digital antenna and DVD player. is this a faulty unit?

FINALLY CRACKED THE CODE.....
After many days and days of trouble shooting and contact to Apple Phone Support (who wasn't able to help me out).... I finally managed to google the following result from an apple support link:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2090
In my case the problem seemed to be that If the HDMI cable accidently is being removed (or pulled out) while both the TV and the Apple TV is powered on, the Apple TV might stop playing audio which it did in my case.
The following worked for me. disconnect the TV and the Apple TV from the power source (simple power off will not work). Wait for 10 seconds... Then first conntect the TV back to the power source... wait 10 seconds and then connect the Apple TV back to the power source. VOILA!!!
Cheers, Mike

I get no 5.1 surround sound from apple tv2 for any media

I have apple tv2 and think its great. However I have it connected to my ken wood surround sound system and only get sound from 2 speakers for all media including movies, netflix, my iTunes library and airplay from my iPhone or ipad.
There is no problem with connections and the same fibre optic cable supports 5.1 in the same port of my ken wood when it it connected to my DVD player.
My Dolby in settings is set to on.
Any suggestions

You really need to specify exactly what imac you have. Current ones I believe have an optical (out) and in and I think that can be combined with usb to produce multi-channel sound. But it's just an academic exercise if you don't have the optical.
Also, google "5.1 audio on imac" for lots of hits on this topic.

How do i use my apple express speakers as the sound from apple tv?

how do i use my apple express speakers as the sound from apple tv?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can't with the Apple TV 2 or 3, with the Apple TV 1, you can choose them from the Airtunes option in the settings menu.

I use my Apple TV mostly to stream from Netflix, and up until recently it worked perfectly. Now the film freezes ever minute or so and it takes another minute to start up again. This doesn't happen when I stream directly onto my laptop.

I have had an Apple TV for over a year. I use it mainly to stream programs from Netflix, and up until a few months ago, I had no poroblems. Now it has become impossbile to watch a Netflix program on my TV because the film freezes every couple of minutes, or less, and seems to be downloading. It starts again, but the same thing happens in a couple of mnutes more. I have tried pausing the film for a few minutes to let it download, and I have even started a film, and then paused it, half an hour before starting to watch it, hoping that this would allow the entire film, or most of it, to download, but it hasn't helped. I don't have this problem when I download directly from Netflix onto my laptop, but then I don't need Apple TV. Of course, I'd rather watch films on my TV than on my laptop. Any suggestions other than buying a new Apple TV after just over a year?

I also found the following post about a TV interfering with wireless networking:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/17354146#17354146
When I was searching I also found similar problems with screen brightness affecting wireless networking in iPads and MacBooks. So it seems like screen backlighting can generate wireless interference. The joy of technology.
