Solved: AirPort Express and AirTunes Audio Distortion Connected to a Stereo

*The problem*: Terrible sound distortion while using AirPort Express AirTunes features. Even when nothing was plugged in, there would be a buzzing noise.
*The setup*: AirPort Express connected via 3.5mm stereo jack to a pair of computer stereo speakers. Note: This post does not apply to you if you are using an optical Toslink between the AirPort Express and your speakers. iTunes installed on a Mac. AirTunes setup to allow music to stream wirelessly to AirPort Express and speakers.
*The solution*: The AirPort Express needs to be grounded. The included AC tip is only two prong. In the US, the third prong (round) is used for grounding.
Therefore you just need to attach the three prong AC tip. This is not included with the AirPort Express. What you need is the Apple Power Extension Cord which has a 3 prong tip.
Example:
http://www.amazon.com/Adapter-Extension-Apple-PowerBook-Notebook/dp/B002V4XKRS
This is the same extension cord that comes with most Apple notebooks.
Hope this helps!

Bob,
This is really simple so no instructions are necessary.
Plug in the new Express when you get it and have it "Join the existing network"...
Give the iTunes Music section a name like "Front Room Stereo" and that's it...
Plug the stereo into the Express and select it in iTunes for playing music.

  • HT1145 I have an older plug in version of Airport Express and am trying to connect it to my wifi network to boost coverage but it is not connecting to my network.

    I have an older plug in version of Airport Express and am trying to connect it to my wifi network to boost coverage but it is not connecting to my network.

    What is the make & model of the wireless router that you are trying to "boost" with the AirPort Express? Is your Express an 802.11g or 802.11n model? Is the connection between routers going to be a wired or wireless one?

  • Airport Express and Airtunes not working

    Hi all. I have a Digital Audio G4. I've been able to use my G4 with iTunes and my Airport Express for quite a while. All of sudden iTunes no longer sees it. The Airport Admin Utility doesn't see it either. But I can still connect to the internet with it. What makes this even weirder is, I also have a MacBook Pro. The MacBook Pro has no problem seeing the Airport Express in the Airport Admin Utility and in iTunes.
    Any Help you can give is much appreciated.

    I can't offer any help. I am having the same problem except I have an Airport Extreme with the Airport Express acting as an extender. The only thing that works for me is unplugging the Airport Express and plugging it back in. Sometimes it is fine the entire day. Other times I have to do this multiple times throughout the day. I don't think this is a good, long-term solution. Any help anyone?

  • Want to know about the AirPort Express and AirTunes

    I have been contemplating purchasing an AirPort Express to stream music from my bedroom into the entertainment room in a 4 bedroom apartment. I have a wireless G D-link router which could be better but its not going to get better any time soon. As far as AirTunes goes, i have been researching it but still have questions on how it works exactly. Also, is it possible to play music through the speakers that are currently hooked up to my computer and through the stero in my living room simulaneously with this device.

    So i have the airport express and i want to use internet at the same time as streaming my music to my stereo. I also have a router that i normally use for internet. My problem is, how do i use them at the same time because the airport run's or the router runs not both. I tried running a ethernet cord from the router to the airport express, and i can now recieve internet and stream music, but i want to be able to use my router instead of the express. also if i can't and have to go through the express, can i password protect the internet connection because i have no idea how to use settings for this device?

  • Using Airport Express and music sounds distorted.....

    I just hooked up my airport express to my whole house stereo and the music sounds distorted.  I've adjusted the volume on the amplifier, the room volume control and the computer volume control.....and it still sounds distorted.  Any ideas on what I can do?

    Temporarily, plug a pair of headphones into the AirPort Express and check the sound quality. It is OK, you know that everything is working through the AirPort Express.
    Often the audio plug will make poor contact with the audio jack on the Express which can cause a hum or intermiitent audio signal. Wiggle the plug around to see if this might be the case. You may need to try another audio cable.
    Make sure that you are not plugging into a PHONO input on the amplifier. You would want to use AUX or CD or even TAPE would work if you have an older amplifier/receiver.

  • No sound with Airport Express and AirTunes

    Hi. I have an Airport Extreme wireless router. I recently extended the wifi network with an Airport Express. Both devices show "green" in Airport Utility and appear to be working fine. I then connected the Airport Express to a powered speaker.
    In iTunes on my MacBook Pro, I can select my Airport Express from the menu in the bottom right corner. When I play a song, however, no sound comes out of the speaker. I tried disconnecting the speaker and connecting a pair of earbuds directly into the Airport Express. Still no sound. Any ideas?
    As FYI, when I touch the Airport Express, I notice that it is quite hot on the sides. Is this normal?
    Thank you

    for the avoidance of doubt, did you +enable airtunes+ in the music tab of the AX's airport utility music tab ?

    can't say it is for my two units. have you made sure your unit is placed in a well ventilated spot ?

  • Airport Express and Airtunes no longer work error -15006

    This is killing me, I feel at my wits end.
    I have an airport express that has been in use for two years. I use it only for airtunes from itunes through my wireless network.
    I have an apple TV that I added 2 months ago and use occasionally for airtunes, but mostly for all the fine things that apple TV does.
    About a week ago, sometime after upgrading to Snow Leopard and before iTunes 9 I have completely lost airtunes connectivity. At first it was just the airport express, but today it is also the apple TV.
    When I choose either speaker (apple TV or Airport) from iTunes it just tries to connect forEVER. Sometimes I get the error -15006.
    What I have:
    24" iMac running snow leopard (wireless)
    13" Macbook Pro snow leopard (wireless)
    Cisco Router WRT110
    Airport Express version 6.3 (wireless)
    AppleTV latest software (wireless)
    What I have done:
    Reset and reloaded the Airport Express a dozen times. It worked for a minute after I changed the settings to require a password, but quickly went back to the same symptoms.
    The airport shows up fine in Airport Utility, but will not work for airtunes.
    The Apple TV shows up in iTunes and syncs properly, but will not respond to Airtunes. I have checked airtunes settings in the AppleTV and it is on. I even tried turning it off to see if it would improve the airport to no avail.
    Please help

    Any advice out there? I've even taken bypassed my main Extreme base to plug the ethernet connection directly into the Mac desktop to do software updates that might have been missed by going through the Extreme and wifi. While it did install one security update, it didn't affect the Express units.
    I'm wondering about firmware. I have checked over and over for software updates, and my system assures me that everything is up to date. However, I'm concerned that somehow I'm missing a firmware update. My Airport Utility tells me my Extreme is running on Version 5.7, and on the few times one of the Express units shows up, it shows as running Version 6.#.
    Do I need to manually install a firmware update, and if so, how? I terrified that I will mess up the ONE wifi unit that is functioning.
    Ironically, my Extreme base is the oldest in my batch-both of the Express units are newer than it.

  • What exactly is Airport Express and AirTunes?

    Sounds like a system to send music wirelessly to any HiFi... Is that right and how does it work/what do I need? Would an audiophile be satisfied with the quality of sound? i.e. is this something that would be out of place on a high end audio system or more suited to the more usual integrated stereo systems?.
    I am using an Apple TV as a music source and just wondering whether the Airport is a possible alternative.
    Does the airport also transmit video?
    Thanks!

    Sounds like a system to send music wirelessly to any HiFi... Is that right and how does it work/what do I need?
    The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) is a combination NAT router, wireless access point, print server, and a target device to receive AirTunes audio streams.
    AirTunes uses the Remote Audio Access Protocol (RAOP) to stream music to the AX. RAOP is based on the Real Time Streaming Protocol (RTSP) but with an extra challenge-response based authentication step.
    For audio playback, you would need the following as a minimum:
    o An iTunes host with with either wired Ethernet or wirelessly capability.
    o Powered-speakers or an audio receiver with either analog RCA or digital/optical inputs.
    o Either a 3.5 mm minijack-to-dual RCA or a 3.5 mm TOSLINK cable.
    Would an audiophile be satisfied with the quality of sound? i.e. is this something that would be out of place on a high end audio system or more suited to the more usual integrated stereo systems?
    For the AX, the audio is handled by a Texas Instruments PCM2705 digital-to-analog converter which it outputs on a 3.5mm stereo minijack. However, the innermost end of the 3.5mm jack is an optical S/PDIF transmitter.
    The AX works only with iTunes v4.6+ and is limited to music files that iTunes can read; ie, 16-bit data only. (An exception is you can use a third-party product like Rogue Amoeba's AirFoil to stream other non-iTunes sources.) These data, though, can be in any file format that iTunes recognizes, from lossy MP3s at the low-quality end of the spectrum to Apple Lossless and lossless AIF or WAV files at the high end. It is also important to note that the AX functions only at a 44.1kHz sample rate. When you play 32kHz or 48kHz data, iTunes sample-rate-converts the data in real time before sending it to the AX.
    iTunes uses a QuickTime CODEC to convert audio files to Apple Lossless, and then, uses AirTunes to send them to the AX. In turn, the AX uses built-in software that converts the Apple Lossless to an Encoded Digital Audio format. From there, digital audio is sent to a optical transceiver to convert the electrical signal to an optical one before sending it to the innermost part of the audio port. For analog, the AX has a built-in DAC to convert the Encoded Digital Audio to Analog which is sent to the same audio port.
    I am using an Apple TV as a music source and just wondering whether the Airport is a possible alternative.
    Unlike the Apple TV, the AX has no means of storing audio content. It is only a "relay" between the iTunes host and the sound playback device. Note: With the latest firmware update, the Apple TV can now use AirTunes to stream to an AX.
    Does the airport also transmit video?
    No. There are no video CODECs built-in the AX.

  • New Time Capsule, new MacBook, old Airport Express and Airtunes

    I intend to buy a new MacBook and a Time Capsule, and I still have an old Airport Express, without 802.11n. I intend to use this Airport Express just for Airtunes, maybe to connect to a printer as well.
    Now I was wondering, even though the Time Capsule is capable of using the 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands simultaneously, the MacBook is only capable of using one band, right? So if I use Airtunes to stream music to my Airport Express, my MacBook would be forced to use the 2.4GHz band, thus slower Time Machine backups etcetera. Is this assumption correct?
    Or will my MacBook send the Airtunes signal over the 5GHz band to the Time Capsule, which will send the signal over the 2.4GHz band to the Airport Express, thus not slowing down any Time Machine backups?

    Yes I think this is correct. At least it seems to me that this is the purpose of having simultaneous dual-band. The time Capsule can send or receive on both bands at the same time, or receive on one band and then send on the other.

  • Airport Express and AT&T Microcell connectivity problems

    Anyone have a solution to connecting the Airport EXPRESS to the Microcell tower? I have only one jack in both the modem and the airport and cannot get the tower to work. I've looked at some forums and none had a solution that worked for me. AT&T cannot figure it out and I'm frustrated! I've gone back to my old Belkin router and now have an unreliable connection and no airtunes
    Any tips? Thanks!

    Variations on a theme
    So my "free" MicroCell finally arrives and I hook it up between the DSL Box and my Time Capsule. After the waiting period and a very long call to AT&T MicroCell assistance we determine that the "third party" (that would be the Time Capsule/Airport) might be the cause of the varying DSL signal strength to the iMac and via Airport to my wife's iBook in the other room - the iBook suddenly isn't connected to the network anymore and tells me that the network has timed out....and after a while and several attempts to connect to the network the iBook is on line again. Didn't have this problem before the MicroCell. AT&T did offer that I could talk to their connection specialists and what a surprise - for only $49. Did I mention that my DSL service is from AT&T? and that only the lowest possible service level is available at my address, here on the dark side of the moon.
    It would appear that the MicroCell does not have to be between the DSL Box and the Time Machine, but could be plugged into the Time Machine and still operate - of course then the Time Machine would really be a "third party device" and responsible for any slow down of DSL signal to the MicroCell. Anyone had any luck with a hook up like this?
    I understand that the MicroCell needs a minimum of 1.5Mbps Download speed to operate properly. I have actually seen the signal strength that high a few times here....of course that is signal coming through the MicroCell and the Time Machine before it gets to the iMac

  • I changed my password on Airport Express and now can't connect in iTunes. It does not ask for password ,I just see trying to connect and it fails. How do I enter new password in iTunes when it just keeps trying to connect ?

    When I select the Airport Express as Remote Speaker in Itunes I just see trying to connect and it can't connect.
    I changed my password on the Airport and I don't see where I can put in the new password in Itunes.
    This problem is on my Imac. On my Mac Pro a window came up asking for password to connect because it was the first time.
    I can connect on the Mac Pro but not my Imac.

    Update on my problem connecting in Itunes with my Airport Express. Not sure if anything I tried made a difference
    but I finally got the Pop up window saying this device requires a Password. I entered the password and I can once again use the Airport Express as a remote speaker.

  • Airport Express and Samsung 7000 TV connectivity, won't engage

    Got an airport express to extend range to tv room.
    Set up via wireless computer working, green lite on
    Samsung TV recognizes primary network, but not guest network
    Will not accept password from primary network?
    Experimented Changed wpa2 around didn't work
    Reset many times still no luck
    Any help out there?

    Welcome to the discussion area, Thomas!
    I haven't worked with Samsung products, so I downloaded the user manual to get a better understanding of the connection process with this product.
    The manual states that "You must use the “Samsung Wireless LAN Adapter” (WIS09ABGN, WIS09ABGN2, WIS10ABGN) to use a wireless network"
    You have this adapter, correct?
    The manual also states that "If you select the Pure High-throughput (Greenfield) 802.11N mode and set your AP's Security Encryption type to WEP, TKIP or TKIPAES (WPS2Mixed), your Samsung TV will not support the connection"
    I'm not sure that this is saying, so you may want to check with Samsung about this. Apparently, if you select the +Pure-High-throughput (Greenfield) mode+, this is in effect saying that most wireless networks will not work or be supported since almost all wireless networks use WEP, TKIP or TKIPAES encryption.
    Is there an option to not use the +Pure-High-throughput (Greenfield) mode+ ? That appears to be your only chance to connect using wireless with this model if the statement above means what I think it means.

  • Airport Express and the audio output.

    I bought an Airport Express sometime last year, when it first came out. I don't have any of the packaging or the manual with me. What I would like to know is if Airport Express had support for both analog and optical audio output right from the start (when it was first released).
    Thanks.

    Since its release over a year ago, there has only ever been one hardware version of the Airport Express. Therefore - yes - a combo analog/optical digital output has been built into the Airport Express right from the start.
    You can download PDF versions of all the manuals at:

  • Hi-fi separates with Airport Express and Airtunes

    Hi, please could you tell me whether it is possible to use a hi-fi separates system with airport express? it doesnt seem possible to me but i thought i would ask.
    regards
    ste bond

    Ah. Much clearer to this antipodian now
    If you have a look at page 15 of the Setup Guide for Airport Express, available at http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/AirPortExpressSetupGuide.pdf - it shows the connections it can be made to plug into.
    Every hi-fi system I've seen has stereo RCA jacks (red and white plugs) on the back for accepting auxiliary inputs. You'll just need to get the appropriate cable from your supplier of choice. If you system is more modern, using fibre optic cabling may be a better option (avoids ground loops, avoids multiple analog/digital conversions, etc).
    You can only use iTunes to send sound to the Airport Express, unless you get a third party application like AirFoil (from http://www.rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/ ), so technically "what I like" would need to be restricted to that which you had in iTunes, but basically, yes.
