Problem streaming to speakers

Hello,
Since having downloaded the new version of iTunes, I have been unable to stream wireless to my wireless speaker setup. When opening iTunes application, a error message pops up with, 'the iTunes volume is currently turned all the way down. To change the volume, drag the slider at the top of the iTunes window'.
For some reason it turns itself down when the application is opened, and when I turn it back up, it seems to connect but no sound is emitted from the speakers...
Please help!
Thanks

Hello susanm115. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
I have 1 airport express connected to the router and have no problems with wireless internet reaching my imac or laptop anywhere in the house.
What is the make & model of the router the first AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is connected to? Is this router wireless? Do you have the AX connected to it by Ethernet? ... or wireless? If wireless, is the AX configured to "join" the other router's wireless network?
I had a second airport express connect to the old stereo and had no problem streaming music to those speakers.
How was this second AX configured? That is, was it configured to "join" the other router or the first AX's wireless network? ... or to extend the first AX?
I plugged the 2nd airport express into the powered speakers.
This alone should not have affected the AX. Did you happen to make any other configuration changes besides switching from the stereo to these speakers?

Problem with internal speakers of MacBook Pro

Hi,
I wanted to know if anyone have experienced a problem with internal speakers of Mac Book Pro. In my MackBook the Internal speaker volume goes down automatically. I checked the System Preferences>Sound>Output , from there I check that it is in the middle ( Balance) However, the problem is still the exists. Just for testing I played an audio file and I moved the bar toward the right speaker it is the same and when I move toward the left speaker the whole sound goes off . Looks like one speaker stops working completely. Then I checked the Utilities > Audio MIDI Setup > Configure Speakers from there I checked both left and right speakers and the channel frequency is fine. Still same issue. I have no idea what is going on , I really need your suggestions to get this fixed.
Thanks in advance.

Last week, I had no problems streaming my MacBook Pro to my sony Bravia with a logix hdmi cable. I came back from holidays and now it doesn't work anymore. What settings should my computer be on and what settings should my tv be on?

Problem streaming HD Movies to Apple TV through home network

Got my new Apple TV yesterday but has some quirks. The biggest one is I'm in the middle of watching an iTunes HD movie I own -- streaming it to my Apple TV on my home network -- and the video starts stuttering halfway through the movie. It was playing with no sound, the video was jumpy, etc.
I stopped the movie, unplugged the Apple TV, tried playing the movie again -- I did this a couple of times -- and same result. This issue didn't happen until about an hour into the movie -- for the first hour of the show it played perfectly. Just before the movie, I'd watched an HD TV show I downloaded from iTunes earlier in the day, and was streaming this to my new Apple TV over the home network, and it played fine.
The other issue I'm seeing is it takes a looooooooooong time to load my iTunes Library from my computer. I selected my shared library, and then it takes about five times (or more) as long to load the list of movies compared to my older Apple TV (the previous generation 160GB hard drive model).
Is anyone else seeing these issues, and is there a fix?

I am having the same problem streaming HD anything, Movies or TV shows. It seems to try to buffer more of the video than when using SD video anything. When playing SD anything, it seems to start playing very soon after pressing play.

Problems streaming video (after 5-10 mins)

Hi,
I used to have no problems streaming video (hulu, espn3 etc), but recently my quality starts dropping out after 5-10 mins. It starts off fine but then the video starts getting jumpy then the audio starts to fuzz out. If I refresh the browser and even restart. the problem can still be there.
Does anyone know what the problem could be? Is there any chance that this not an issue with my computer, but with my internet connection?
Thanks!

I too am having this same issue. I have only started having it after installing Lion. I am forced to restart my computer if I wish to watch a video. I have no solutions!

E1500 wireless router having problems streaming video and netflix

We got a new E1500 router 2 nights ago. The internet works fine, but it has big trouble streaming videos and Netflix, those types of things. I have changed my MTU setting and all the settings suggested in the "Guide Me" section. My drivers are up to date on my router and on my pc. It just started happening with this router. We had a Netgear before and we have no problems streaming at all. I have rebooted and reset the router and cable modem.
Does anyone else have some suggestions I can try?
Thanks,
Debbie

The concern that you have is for both wired and wireless or just for the wireless? If it is for wireless then try these troubleshooting steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Then go to the Wireless tab, change Channel width to 20 MHz only and change the Channel to 6, 9, 11...Save the settings..
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.
Then check the status of streaming video and netflix.

Problem streaming podcast to iPhone/iPad

Some of the listeners of my podcast (http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/instaflicka-podcast/id373911029)have been complaining that they are not able to stream it to the iPhone or iPad recently. They don't seem to have problems streaming other podcasts, just mine. I set it up with iTunes following all of the steps provided there and syndicate it using FeedBurner. Is there something else I need to be doing to resolve this issue?

I have the same problem. Have you found a solution? Thanks.

Having problems with internal speakers?

Hello,
          I've recently encountered a problem with my speakers. There is also a red light coming out of the audio jack. I found out that many other people are having the same problems with newer Mac versions. I looked at many different discussions and some are wrong and some are right. Here is a great idea for for making this work: 1) You can use a toothpick. From what I've read, it may work, but be very careful of what you're doing. 2) I've used this idea it works very well. Find a headphone or audio jack cord and plug it in the audio jack many times. What I did was plug it and unplug it very fast. What you're trying to do is confuse the computer for a bit then make it realize that there is nothing in the audio jack. This should work. If it doesn't (for whatever reason) do not use the extra money to get it fixed. If this isn't enough help look at some other discussions, it's how I solve my origional problem with my speakers.
                                                                                                                                                          Hope you find this helpful,
                                                                                                                                                                                                     Adam B.

Problem with rear speakers!

I bought new Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Card and I have problem. My rear speakers (DTT2200) don't work. They're connected well, I have newest audio driver and CMSS-3D is enabled. I tested speakers on Creative Control Console and only rear speakers don't work.5.1 speakers are enabled in control panel of WinXP.Please help,Albert.
Message Edited by Albert_PL on 02-26-2007 12:10 PM

Check its set to 5.1 everywhere, especially in the creative control (not 7.1 or stereo anywhere). Check your connections at both ends (sounds silly, but check theyre firmly in) and at the speakers too. Try hooking the rear connection up to the front output on the X-Fi to rule out a problem with the speakers. Check volumes everywhere, settings everywhere, etc. Things like this are normally just one small setting you have overlooked somewhere.

Problem with my speakers

Hi,
I am using HP ENVY m6-1225dx Notebook PC. It is little more than a year o;d and I never had any complaints with it.
Since past few days, there is a problem with my speakers.
However, when I use trouble shoot option, I am getting the following message 'Hardware Changes might not have been detected'. But immediately, the audio functions for few minutes and when it functions I am able to mute my system speakers. And few minutes later, when the audio stops functioning, I am not able to mute the speakers as well.
Further, when I attempt to test the speakers I get the following message 'The device is being used by another application. Please close any devices that are playing audio to this device and then try again'.
I have attempted to install the drivers from the HP page, even then, the speakers worked only for few minutes.
I am not sure, how do I go about it.
Any help with respect to the above problem will be of great help to me.

Problem streaming sound only to Apple TV

Apple TV with the latest software of of Nov 23
Macbook Pro with Retina Display running 10.10.1
- I can see my itunes lib through home sharing and is able to play movies, see photos without any issue.
- I can mirror my desktop using airplay and play movies and music without any issues.
The issue comes when I try to stream sound only on to Apple TV. I have the ATV connected to my audio player and stream Spotify. The sound is choppy and broken. Going against my instinct I purchased a new router (Asus RT-AC68U) which obviously was not the issue since airplay was working on when I mirror my desktop.
After a couple of hours with apple support, I saw on the forum that some people has issues with bluetooth. I TRIED TURNING OFF BLUETOOTH AND IT FIXED THE SOUND STREAMING TO ATV. I have an apple blue tooth mouse.
I tried both shortcuts, from preferences - sound - output and Apple TV and using Option + Sound Icon to select Apple TV instead of internal speakers. Both have the same problem.
I hope its a software issue rather than a hardware one and it can be updated soon.

A Follow up on this issue , bluetooth also stops AirPlay from working reliably.

Problems streaming music to Airport Express via Airtunes in Mountain Lion

Ever since upgrading to Mountain Lion, I have been encountering some strange behavior regarding my ability to stream music to speakers connected to my network via Airport Expresses. Initially, the speakers appear in iTunes, and I can select them and stream music to them perfectly. Eventually, however, they no longer stream music and appear unselected in iTunes. When I try to select them again, I cannot. After clicking on them, they appear connected for a few milliseconds before disconnecting again. I have found that restarting my computer resolves this problem.
I believe this is a Mountain Lion issue because, even when I can no longer select the speakers, I can still stream music to these speakers from both my iPhone and my iPad.
I also have a set of Airplay enabled speakers (Zeppelin Air) and I can stream to these speakers even when the Airport Express ones are not functioning. I interpret this to mean that my computer, iTunes, and my router are all capable of streaming music.
I had hoped that iTunes 11 would fix this issue, but it hasn't. I have found posts to simiar problems on these forums, but they often involve receiving various error messages from iTunes. I never receive any error messages, streaming to the speakers just stops and cannot be restarted. Streaming worked perfectly in Snow Leopard and for the brief time I had Lion. I find needing to restart my computer repeatedly to be a rather inelegant solution to this problem. Any insight is appreciated.

What's also strange, is that if I log onto another user on the same computer, the streaming works fine. That means that the problem lies within my user account, doesn't it?
Are there any preference files that I can safely delete within my user library to reset any preferences that are ****** up?
Also, I don't know if it might have something to do with it, but I'm running Little Snitch. Don't see that there are any rules I've set up that might interfere with AirTunes, though!

My macbook has problems streaming video when using an external monitor

I have a MacBook from 2007. I have a converter so that the MacBook can be connected to an external monitor, and have connected it to my TV. This works fine, but if I am streaming videos and trying to watch on the TV, the streaming becomes very choppy, almost like the wireless connection is too slow. If I unplug the computer from the TV, however, the streaming returns to normal. I previously connected to a TV with an S-video connection and the problem did not seem as prominent. Now I am connecting to a HD tv using an HDMI connection.
Any suggestions for how to alleviate this? I haven't updated or upgraded the memory or RAM, possibly that would help? Would the amount of files I am storing be causing the problem? I currently have 50 GB available.
Thanks for any help!
Conor

Make sure your Mac is set to a resolution and frequency that your monitor supports.
The other possibility is that your graphics card is fried, but that seems unlikely since your computer is new. Before too long, you should make sure your graphics card is OK using the Apple Hardware Test, but I'm not sure how reliable that is because it claims that my partially broken graphics card is OK.

Mini adapter to HDMI cable into my tv. No problem streaming movies last night, today all I see is some default apple background on my tv. Don't know quite what to do in System Pref's and Appearances. Please Help

I know its an issue with the computer because when I messed with Appearance settings in System Preferences, the tv picture changed.
thanks

How were you "streaming movies last night"? (What application?)
It may also be useful to know your specific iMac model, and the version of Mac OS X it runs. This list may help identify your iMac model.
http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/index-imac.html
So, this is an iMac, and you have an HDTV attached to it as its second screen... Is that correct?
Typically, if the HDTV is acting as the iMac's second screen, it is extending the Desktop. I'm thinking that when you had "no problem" last night, it was set so that the second screen was mirroring what was on the iMac's screen (NOT extending the Desktop). In other words, if you had the movie playing at full screen on the iMac's screen, the same thing appeared on the HDTV screen.
You may have changed that setting so that it is not mirroring anymore. The second screen would then be extending the Desktop. In that case, you would see the "default Apple background" on it until you moved something onto that part of the Desktop (like an open window).
Open System Preferences Displays pane. Go to the Arrangement tab. If the diagram there shows representations of two screen (the iMac's screen and the HDTV screen), the HDTV is set to extend the Desktop. The setting (checkbox) for mirroring should be there, toward the bottom.
However, mirroring is probably NOT the best setting for your setup. If what I wrote so far has been relevant for your original question, you can post back for additional info...
