No sound through external speakers using apple tv?!?!?

Hi, I just got apple tv a couple days ago as a present from a friend. As soon as I powered it up, and turned on home sharing, I was so excited. I wanted to try and play a music video. So I did and noticed there was no sound. So I thought easy fix...I tried every thing on my speakers. And it won't work, and maybe it's beacuse of my setup. I watch tv alot with this tv and I have it setup with the speakers so the sound will come out of the speakers and it works great. Im running it through a production mixer and the only thing it won't work on is apple tv....I mean there as to be a way. I love apple and all there products, but when I got this I was a little disappointed with the sound setup. Hopefully I will find the awnser soon!
Thanks!

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Does your mixer support digital audio.
Try adjusting the audio out and dolby digital settings.

No sound through external speakers on my iphone 4s but headphones work fine! When headphones unplugged volume button shows headphones not plugged in! Tried all solutions suggested here to no luck?!??

No sound through external speakers but fine through headphones! Button on left is not on mute and checked all settings and all fine! Tried all solutions here but no luck! Sound gone before I updated the software??

You may have debris in your headphone jack blocking the sensor. Try blowing hard on the jack, and inserting/removing your headphones quickly multiple times to clear it.

"Popping" sound through external speakers

I'm using the Apple Pro speakers through an iFire on my G5 iSight and have been getting a popping sound through the external speakers. This does not happen with the internal ones. This topic is mentioned over on the intel iMac discussions board and seems to be a widespread problem. It appears that many different brands of speakers are making the popping sounds. My external speakers work perfectly with my iBook. The external speakers sound much better than the internal ones. I hope there is a fix for this. Anyone else have this problem?
iMac Mac OS X (10.4.3) 20' iSight

Hi, on the older white intel iMacs we use to open&close Midi. Sometimes it worked sometimes not.
My intel iMac popped until I changed my older Logitech 2 speakers + Bass unit for a set of Bose..L

Chromebook 14 continuous buzzing sound through external speakers when powering on

I have this consistent buzzing sound when I power on my Chromebook. Every time I power on, an electrical buzz through my external speakers (plugged in to the headphone outlet) remains until I completely unplug the speakers cable from the Chromebook, and then plug it back in. Unplugging and plugging the cable back in always stops the noise.
Is there anything I can do to keep my external speakers plugged in without the buzzing noise starting when the Chromebook is powered up?

The speakers are made by Creative, Inspire t3000.
1. Yes, they are powered, so they are always plugged in to a wall outlet and I leave them on always.
2. Yes, they are normally the speakers for my desktop Windows system. I've don't have this problem with that PC.
3. No, I don't hear the same buzzing sound from the Chromebook's built-in speakers.
4. No, I have not tried another set of speakers yet. I don't have any others at the moment.
5. No, there was no software with the speakers when I bought them IIRC.
There is a loud buzzing thump noise made each time I unplug or plug in the speakers to the Chromebook even if it is powered off. That's always been there.
The buzzing noise appears for about a second whenever I power down the Chromebook, that happens a second or two right after it is powered off. Also, if I turn the volume control down for the speakers, the buzzing sound volume is lowered too. But if I turn the volume down to where I don't hear the buzzing noise, I can barely hear the sound.
Update: I noticed after fiddling with the speaker volume control that the buzzing sound goes away now after about 30 seconds. It didn't just a few days ago. And it never had the continuous buzzing sound at all when I first bought the chromebook and used these speakers with it periodically.
Thanks.

Morse code sound through external speakers

I'm getting a morse code sound through my external speakers every 1/2 hour or so on my MDD, never bothered me before. But all of a sudden I'm getting the "ring of death" telling me to re-start the computer. Any ideas?

Hi, have you blown the dust out lately?
Get Temperature Monitor to see if it's heat related...
http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/12381/temperature-monitor
And/or iStat Pro...
http://www.islayer.com/apps/istatpro/
Could be many things, we should start with this...
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair Disk, (not Repair Permissions). Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
If perchance you can't find your install Disc, at least try it from the Safe Boot part onward.

No Sound through external speakers during capture/ log

How do I get sound through my external speakers when logging or capturing using FCP7.0.1.
Other forums suggest creating a duplicate preset and then switching speakers on in the Quick time audio setting via an advanced button. But there is no advanced button in the quick time audio settings my software.
Is there another setting elswhere?

Try clicking the preview button in the log and capture window, clip settings tab. Not sure if you can enable it while you're actually capturing and if you can, it's not recommended. In previous versions of fcp when you could enable this, it would occasionally cause problems with the audio of the captured file. Apparently since the native sampling rate for the mac is 44.1k, it needs to resample on the fly to monitor it, and this can cause problems. I used to get random clicking in the captured audio. Much better to figure out a way to monitor directly off the deck/camera.

Mac OS 10.7.5 No sound through external speakers

I have had this iMac for about two years with the Bose Companion 20 external speakers hooked up. All of a sudden there is no sound through youtube. iTunes, speakers work fine. BTW
I also have a MacBook Pro that is about three months old and after a software update yesterday it also has no sound through the internal speakers on youtube only (that I have discovered).
But I am more concerned about the iMac, where these Bose speakers deliver excellent sound, and I am a classical music fan.
Any help? And please don't speak in code (I have no idea what "reset the SMC" means). Thank you!

Click on the YouTube speaker and turn up the Volume.

No sound through external Speakers?

I've had my 2.16ghz Macbook Pro from new and have never connected external speakers to it until now. When i do i get no sound, the laptop speakers work fine?
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Is the volume turned up on both Mac and speakers?
Is Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Sound Output showing anything other than internal speakers?

No sound through external speakers from docking station

I've got an EliteBook 8460p running Windows 7 connected to a docking station. I don't know what kind of docking station because there is no visible model number anywhere on it.
The internal speakers work fine, and the line out jack on the laptop itself works fine. But when the laptop is docked, the line out jack from the docking station does not work. All other peripherals work. I even tried the line-in jack to see if they were mislabeled, but that wasn't the problem.
Any help would be appreciated!

I get sound from external speakers, but not songs

Hi,
I have a pair of external speakers plugged into the output jack of my PC. I get sound, even from iTunes Help which Dings when I enter search criteria. But when I play songs in iTunes, they're silent. Since I get other sound from them, I know the volume is okay and they're plugged in, etc. I've played with all 3 volume controls -- the ones on the speakers, the one at the lower left next to the clock and the one in iTunes itself. Still no music.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Richard

This worked for me as well. Great find! I have gigabyte ep45-ud3r motherboard and I was getting all sound through external speakers except itunes was playing the sound out of the digital output instead of the speakers. I could see this when I went to control panel > hardware & sound > manage audio devices. I did the repair as described above and now I have sound in iTunes.

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.

Problem: I lost the option to get the sound from external speakers or headphones to upgrade to Lion 10.7.3. It accepts only internal speakers. I downloaded Combo directly. I followed all the advice from the Apple community

Problem: I lost the option to get the sound from external speakers or headphones to upgrade to Lion 10.7.3. It accepts only internal speakers. I downloaded Combo directly , without using "Actualización de software". I followed all the advice from the Apple community. Can I use bluetooth speakers to solve this problem? My Computer: iMac. 20-inch, Early 2008. Processor 2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo.

You may need to reset PRAM/NVRAM.
First, check that the jack is clean. Put some alcohol on a plug and insert it a few times. See if that helps.
is your output both digital and analog? If digital, is the red laser light visible in the socket? Do not look directly into the socket when checking.
If all else fails try a PRAM reset:
Reset your computer’s PRAM
A small amount of your computer’s memory, called “parameter random-access memory” or PRAM, stores certain settings in a location that Mac OS X can access quickly. The particular settings that are stored depend on your type of Mac and the types of devices connected to it. The settings include your designated startup disk, display resolution, speaker volume, and other information.
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
DO NOT HOLD These keys beyond the second startup sound!
Release the keys.
Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.

Some apps won't play sound through iPad2 speakers

I've noticed since updating to iOS 5 and 5.0.1, I've got more apps that won't play sound through ipad2 speakers, but will play sound through earphones though. Using the same app on the iphone plays sound through the iphone speakers as normal.
It seems to be picky with which apps it does this to as Sky News/BBCiplayer/YouTube/Video/ IMDb all play sound through ipad speakers. Apps like FilmOn plus/ FreeAppMagic/ Falling Gems/ Bejeweled2/ FNS Shift2 will only play sound through earphones. These Apps updating to the new iOS doesn't fix the sound issue either.
I can use an app that plays sound through iPad speakers, then use an app that doesn't play sound through the speakers, then use another app that does play sound through speakers, so the earphone connection actuator doesn't look like the problem to me. Maybe some sound drivers may have been lost or deleted with new iOS updates over wifi...?
Any help would be appreciated.

See if perhaps this is the reason why some apps aren't playing sound.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.
