No sound on Bose outdoor speakers through Apple TV

My Apple TV is connected with a HDMI cable to my Bose V25 Lifestyle set. I can play my music on my iMac or on the speakers of Bose V25 (iTunes control button). For outdoor use I have connected a Bose 251 outdoor expansion package for Lifestyle V25 (two 251 speakers, SA-3 amplifier and a RC-35S2 expansion remote). This outdoor system is connected to the V25 in the proper way. When I want to listen to my iMac music on my outdoor speakers I don't get any sound. Do I have to buy a separate optical audio to analaog cable to resolve this problem or should only the HDMI cable work?
Excuse me for my English, I am Dutch.

Try turning of Dolby Digital on Apple TV.

  • My sound switches from internal speakers to apple Tv and i dont have an apple tv device

    I am having problems with sound. My speakers will switch from internal speakers to Apple TV for no reason when I am on a certain wifi network and ask for a password. I do not have an apple TV and in order for the sound to come out on the internal speakers i have to manually go into the preferences and switch back to internal speakers. This does this constantly while i am listening to music. Is there a way to shut off the feature so it will stay on internal speakers? This has happened ever since i made the upgrade to OS mountain lion. I never did this before. Thank you for your help.

    Are you sure that WIFI network doesn't have an AppleTV on it?  Just because you don't own it doesn't mean there isn't one on that network.  The laptop or better said the OS cannot differentiate between an AppleTV that you own or not.  If it sees one on the network, it will show you one as being available.  The automatic reconnection is happening probably because the last time you streamed to an AppleTV, you didn't drop that connection before sleeping the computer or shutting down iTunes.

  • IMac doesn't deliver sound via BOSE active speakers. Why?

    Tried to connect my imac with the BOSE Companion 2 active Speakers, as i always did before. Since i moved here i was too lazy to set it up again. Now i wanted to but theres no sound. Boxes have energy, the two are connected to each other and the cinch cable is connected with the imac, but it still plays sound via the integrated speakers and i cannot change this. Theres nothing to choose in the settings but play sounds via the integrated speakers. Why??

    Make sure you have connected the audio cable's mini plug to the audio output jack on the iMac & not to the iMac's audio input jack & that the plug is fully inserted.

  • Wireless outdoor speakers through existing mac network

    i have time capsule set up as my wireless network in my house. can i use time capsule to add wireless outdoor speakers to play music through my computers to the speakers. for example, can i listen to xm, sirius, terrestrial radio or cds played through my macs and broadcast to the speakers? do i need any other equipment? do i need airport express or another receiver?

    I have three sets of speakers throughout my house all hooked up to Airport Express, with Time Capsule as the base station, and it works great, except that I don't have music outdoors in the yard. I was also hoping to find wireless outdoor speakers that I could install permanently (mount), but I can't figure out how this would work; is there a base unit (transmitter) with wireless speakers to hook them up to Airport Express INSIDE (I have an extra AX unit), because it obviously can't be left outside? Also the AX setup has to be a mini-plug; are there any such outdoor wireless speakers?
    Sorry if this doesn't make sense, I'm already in over my head

  • Playing sound from microphone on speakers (through buffer) with constant delay

    Hi,
    I'm looking for an example of code that samples signal from microphone and
    plays it on speakers. I need a solution that has a resonably constant delay on
    different platforms (PC, android, iphone). Delay around 1-2 s is ok for me, and I don't
    mind if it varies everytime the application starts.
    I tried using SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA event on Sound and Microphpne classess.
    One event would put data into buffer the other would read data.
    But it seems impossible to provide constant delay, either the delay grows constantly or
    it gets lower to the point where I have less than 2048 samples to put out and Sound class stops
    generating SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA events.
    I wan't to process each incoming frame so using setLoopBack(true) is not an option.
    ps This is more a problem on Android devices than on PC. Althought when I start to resize application
    window on PC delay starts to grow also.
    Please help.

    Most recording applications have a passthrough option so you can listen as you record. It is off by default to avoid feedback if you are using a microphone.

  • Popping when new sound comes through, with Bose companion speakers.

    I've used the Bose companion speakers for years with my 17" PowerBook and they were fine. Now, connected to my new 24" iMac they "pop" just before a new sound comes through, i.e. mail message coming in etc. I've connected them to my husband's 24" iMac and same deal. Apple has no idea why, and it's driving me nuts.

    Just came from the Apple store, told the same story to one of the guys there who use to work in a recording studio. He knew what I was talking about. Now I've talked to Apple Care twice, Bose once, no answers. But this guy suggested a USB device, like an iMic which I happened to have so I gave it a try and so far, NO POPPING. I have my fingers crossed, but it seems to be working. I have the speakers plugged into the iMic, the iMic plugged into a USB port.
    Bottom line, this is screwed up, I shouldn't have to do this work around. Apple has to know about the problem. But until they own up to it at least now I'm not going nuts with this noise. At least I hope not. I'll post again if I'm wrong.

  • Using Airport Express for External speakers and Apple TV.  When I'm on MAC computer adn using internet sound from Internet does not go through external speakers.  Instead it comes out of Mac computer speaker.  Why?

    Using Airport Express for External speakers and Apple TV.  When I'm on MAC computer adn using internet sound from Internet does not go through external speakers.  Instead it comes out of Mac computer speaker.  Why?

    As far as I know, the Airport Express only transmits sounds via Itunes. So every other sound (internet, but also incoming mail) will be coming out of your mac instead of your external speakers.

  • Why is the sound from my bose mobile speakers "choppy" when paired with my Mac Book Pro but not my other apple products?

    I have bose mobile speakers that use bluetooth to be paired with devices. I have successfully paired it with my ipad and iphone and the sound is phenominal. However when paired with my MacBook PRo the sound is very "choppy" and not clear. Would anyone know why this is?

    Having sent my speaker to Bose to have it checked over, they returned it to me unable to recreate the problem saying it was fault free. They included the following instructions to adjust bluetooth settings to 40.
    Open Terminal and use the command:
    defaults write com.apple.BluetoothAudioAgent "Apple Bitpool Min (editable)" 40
    Restart, turn off both devices then re-pair.
    This has vastly improved the quality of sound on the speaker, although not ALWAYS perfect as have found that if I am working on the keyboard or browsing the internet at the same time as listening to music via Bose speaker there is a little jumpiness.
    Further research in various forums has shown there are other settings to experiement with:
    30 – Low audio quality
    40 – Medium audio quality
    48 – High audio quality
    58 – Excellent audio quality
    Hope this helps.

  • Can i play cds through my Bose Airplay speakers without reducing to mp3

    I have burned cd files in abundance, but if i wanted to play a cd without burning it to Itunes, will it play through Bose Airplay speakers?

    I can play music from my ios devices without turning tv on.
    When you select airplay, then select mirroring on, it turns the apple tv on. I then select a song from my music and it plays through my separate sound system. (Obviously not the tv as it's not on lol)
    If I then turn off airplay and mirroring off, it does not however turn off the ATV but this will shut down to stand by on its own anyway after the preset time.
    I'm sure this would work with spot iffy also.

  • Mac Won't play sound through Apple TV

    So I've been using Apple TV with all my devices for quite some time now and it works great. One of the issues I constantly run into when using my 2012 Macbook Air  is if I open safari and navigate to a video, then decide I want to Air Play that video through Apple TV the video will carry over but the sound remains on my Mac. When I open sound preferences it gives me the option to select Apple TV as the output but it immediately, and automatically switches the sound output back to Mac Speakers. A reboot of the mac fixes this every time, but i'm wondering if there's an easier way to solve this problem that doesnt involve wasting time restarting my system..

    many repport that restarting their wifi router or updating it's firmware fix that issue

  • TS5150 With certain movies I have downloaded digitally through Itunes or certain movies through Netflix played through Apple TV, I am only getting partial sound.  I am missing one or more sound tracks.  Am I missing something in the settings for Apple TV?

    With certain movies I have downloaded digitally through Itunes or certain movies through Netflix played through Apple TV, I am only getting partial sound.  I am missing one or more sound tracks.  Am I missing something in the settings for Apple TV?

    Are you using a stereo receiver or surround sound system for the audio by chance.  What you are describing sounds like a receiver that is not setup correctly, or does not have the speakers connected to it correctly to support Dolby surround, 5.1 or 7.1.  Which is why it is only happening on some content.  It would only be on the ones that are encoded to support Dolby audio.

  • Ipod with Bose sa-3 map and outdoor speakers

    I'm trying to set up my ipod to play on my outdoor speakers (Bose 151"s) and I thought the Bose sa-3 power amp could run them, but when I connect my Ipod, either via my dock or from the headphone jack, I get very little sould out of the speakers. I have the ipod turned up all the way, and I have most of the volume limit set to let most volume through. Any thoughts? I have also tried to use the headphone jack on my Macbook Pro, also very little volume out.

    you would normally use the bose sa-3 amp if you want to connect other speakers such as your outdoor 151's to a Bose lifestyle system. You were probably better off buying a reciever and hooking up the speakers directly to that and then use an input on the reciever to hook up your iPod. I do this with my ipod and a cd player. I have both the Bose 151's and the 251's hooked up and it works great. You don't have to go crazy on the reciever i am only using a cheap sony but im sure you spent a pretty penny for the bose amp. but like i said that if for expanding the bose systems you already have such as a 3-2-1, a wave radio or lifestyle system etc. the ipod doesnt supply enough power either. hope you can figure it out

    I'm not sure what you mean. You can't find the express to set it up.. or you can't find the network created by the express?
