Please! Airplay from iOS to multiple Airplay speakers

I'm moving into a new house and would love to skip Sonos or any other expensive multi-room stereo solutions. Airplay with iOS 7 and the latest Airport Express devices is really reliable and easy.
Big limitation is not being able to stream to multple airplay endpoints simultaneously from my iPhone and iPad. It works fine from my laptop, but I don't want to limit playback to just real computers when we want to listen to the same music inside and outside (on separate systems).
Please vote this up for iOS 8!
Respectfully,
Joe

Is ther a way to send music to multiple airplay speakers on my ipad without having to use itunes

Hello all, l have a question that relates to air play and my ipad 4.
ls there a way to send music to multiple airplay speakers with my ipad 4 without having to use itunes as the master controller on my other PC. l know it is possible with itunes, but surely the ipad should be able to play to more than one airplay device at a time, we are living in the year 2013.
Is there an alternative and if there is not, could someone please explain or point me in the wright direction why it is so!
Thank you all in advance for your comments

Yes there is and I'll be happy to email you how. [email protected] is my address.

Watching iTunes Movie on Apple TV while streaming sound to multiple AirPlay speakers

Hi Everyone,
I bought a pair of Airplay speakers and Apple TV 3rd generation to watch my Movies in the iTunes library. Importantly, I want to listen to the movies sound on multiple Airplay speakers while watching. So far I couldn't activate the speakers, once I started the movie.
Has anyone an idea, how to do that?

Thanks a lot for your answer.
I'm doing signal processing and work with videos professionally. The audio signal is technically always separated (and extractable) from the video frames. I don't see why the audio shouldn't be possible to be distributed to different airplay clients?
Do you mean that this option is just not supported by apple? In this case, do you know if it is at least possible to stream to multiple apple TV's at the same time?

Is there a way for use airplay on multiple wireless speakers (PartyMode)?

is there a way for iPod/iPad/iPhone to use airplay speakers in multiple wireless speakers zones (like PartyMode)?
(PartyMode)
on your Computer or Laptop you can shoose in iTunes different speakers zones at the same time.
But this is not possible on a iPod/iPad/iPhone. one ly one speaker zone is possible.
is there a any way to do it the same way as in iTunes on your computer ? ?

The Music/iPod app on iOS devices do NOT support "multiple speaker" option.
As a work around, you can download and install Remote app and setup with iTunes Home Sharing and you can control your iTunes music using your iOS device (iPod touch/iPad/iPhone) to play music to multiple speakers.

Unfortunately not.

HT5517 How can I adjust sound level when streaming radio from my Apple TV through Airplay speakers?

I have a 2nd Gen Apple TV with an airport express set up as airplay speakers. I can stream the new radio through using the Airplay speakers pretty well. The problem is that once I've got it going, I cannot adjust the sound level without laboriously backing out of the radio menu, going back to the top level menu then drilling down into the Airplay settings to raise or lower the speaker's sound level.
Is there an easier way to do this?

go to system preferences > Sound > Output. then change the output from "built-in" to HDMI.

When trying to connect to Airplay speakers I get error message "The network connection timed out" although some sort of connection is made as the speaker is turned on. Same thing with Apple TV. Is the distance from my speaker/ TV the problem?

Airplay from iOS vs direct Apple TV streaming

Does anyone know if using AirPlay from iOS provides a lower quality than simply streaming directly from the Apple TV? For example, if I stream a movie from my Home Sharing library it will load faster than using the Apple TV to bring it down from the cloud. But, will it look the same? Or, if I rent a movie from the Apple TV will it be better quality than renting from Amazon Prime app and using AirPlay to view it?
It seems like using AirPlay might require twice the bandwidth and result in lower quality.
Thanks!

Thanks so much for the detailed reply.
So the only thing I lose by using AirPlay from an iOS device, vs streaming from the Apple TV directly, is some LAN traffic? The quality should remain the same because of buffering, but it takes extra LAN bandwidth to go from the iOS device to the Apple TV?
For Airplay yes, the quality should be the same, but for Airplay Mirroring it is different as the screen display frames are compressed on the fly and transmitted.
I am not 100% sure that some apps don't generate a stream as they run to send via standard Airplay which would alter quaity but no way of knowing for sure unless it was a game where the 'action' was live.
Standard Airplay just takes a pre-rendered video stream (which may be streaming on a website viewed in a browser on iPad), and provided it is AppleTv compatible can just be forwarded to the AppleTV as is. The clearest examples are where you sync a purchase from itunes store to iPad or rent/but on it - the downloaded file is just relayed to AppleTV to play, the same as it would be from iTunes on a PC/Mac using Home Sharing or playing an iTunes Store purchase from the cloud or renting there - the files are the same so if a purchase in itunes is 6GB, the rental or stream to play from the cloud will be the same.
Netflix and other services are rate adaptive on AppleTV so degrade stream quality on slower connections on the fly. Pros are near instant startup, cons potentially worse video pq.

I've been trying to get my iPhone screen to play onto my macbook.

There are no free ways to do it that I have seen. However, Reflector is reasonably priced. http://www.airsquirrels.com/reflector/

Airplay speakers from ATV2/3

In the settings-->Airplay section, it is possible to send audio to airplay speakers from apple tv. Example to another airport express or something. Does anyone know if this feature is restricted to audio from music only. When I play a movie, the audio comes from apple tv rather than the airplay speakers.
Thanks.

Just audio from music, it seems.

Can't connect to airplay speakers from iTunes

I suddenly can't connect to airplay speakers from iTunes on my new Macbook Pro - they are visible but cannot be selected. I can connect to them from other Macs and iPads. Can anyone help, pls? I have set the whole network up several times, rebooted system ie.

I had this happen to me on the odd occasion but now have it sorted. If I'm going to use my Airport Epress(s) I first make sure that my PC is connecting to the AE before I even turn on iTunes.
A problem I was having was that my PC was connecting to my wireless router by default (specifically when my laptop was turned off) and not to the AE. As a consequence when iTunes started it greyed out the remote speakers and sometimes the button was not even showing up.
Now that I ensure my PC is talking to the AE everytime I do not have a problem.
I do have one annoying thing with the AE setup though, if I'm playing music over the AE and I unplug any USB device (printer, USB Key, External drive etc) the wireless connection is broken and I have to start iTunes. I suspect it is a hardware issue relating to my particular HP PC as I have just reformatted and reinstalled Windows XP and it still happens. I can live with it.

HT4437 Is it possible to stream audio from a non-Itunes program on a computer (say, a website, Youtube, etc...) to Airplay speakers?

When you set up the new Mac, you can use Migration Assistant to transfer both from your iMac and your external drives. You can also use Target Disk Mode to drag over the things you want.

How to play your music on multiple airplay speakers on iPhone

how to play your music or music from pandora to multiple speakers from iphone. I am able to do this on a pc but not able from iphone why hasn't apple implemented this software for iphonex

If you're referring to commercial video DVDs, it's because breaking the copy protection present on almost all such DVDs is illegal in the US and to date, the DVD producers have not licensed anyone to legally transcode a copy-protected DVD into any other format. There are hints that it will eventually be possible with the new formats (Blu-Ray, HD DVD), but nothing firm has been said.

Cannot select airplay speakers

I am trying to select a different AirPlay speaker in iTunes. When I click on the small icon in the right hand bottom corner of the iTunes window all my different AirPlay speakers do show. When I click on on of htem nothing happens and the "Computer" speaker stays selected. When I click on multiple speakers the window with the speaker selection shows and I can click on all the speakers but the click does not "stick". The Compute speaker stays as the selected speaker.
When I do the same thing from a different Mac it works nicely as expected. It is just my desktop - where I happen to have my whole library stored - where it does not work anymore. It has worked before and I do not know what happened.
Please help to restore this important feature.

I couldn't get mine to work so I went into Itunes Edit/preferences in "general" checked the items I wanted playing back ie films etc then in "sharing" I checked the music box and also clicked share selected libraries instead of entire library and also changed the preferred video version to 720p (it was set on 1080p), then in "store" I clicked download at 720p as mine is the 2G apple tv which operates at 720p (the latest is 1080p). Then it all started to work so I don't know really what I did but it's now fine. Best of luck

My ATV 2G with latest firmware doesn't stream audio to Airplay Speakers

Hi everybody,
I have an AppleTV 2G upgraded to the latest firmware (5.1.1 / ios 6.0.1).
My problem is that it doesn't stream audio to my airplay speakers. I have the B&O Beoplay A8.
The speakers work fine with my ipad and iphone, but not the ATV.
I checked the aiplay settings, the speakers appear there normally and I have ticked them and they are the selection for the audio output.
Instead AppleTV audio is on the TV.
Can someone please help me.
I got the speakers just for this reason. To listen audio from movies on ATV from the speakers.
Every help is appreciated.

Timing-wise the problem coincided with upgrading the firmware on my Airport Express to 7.6.4 (reverting to the previous version doesn't seem possible).
Reverting to an earlier firmware version is possible with v5.6 of the AirPort Utility. Note: This version runs fine under OS X Mountain Lion but will not install without a workaround. Let me know if you need it.

Please! Airplay from iOS to multiple Airplay speakers
