Apple TV 3 audio signal goes off after each song?

My Sony receiver has to reaquire the audio signal from the ATV 3 at the beginning of each song when streaming songs from the Mac. This causes a fraction of the beginning of each song to be missing. Very irritating. There is a clicking noise at the end of each song as the receiver loses the audio signal at the end of each song. Is there a way to work around this?

I like to use my pictures as the screen saver on my Sony Bravia through Apple TV. Why is the shuffle so bad? I get a set of pictures very regularly and some that never come up at all.

Unsupported output signal for Sony Bravia KLV-32T550A

I have a mac mini 2007 running 10.6.3. I am trying to connect to a sony bravia KLV-32T550A either through VGA or DVI. Both keep coming up with error message (unsupported output signal, adjust your pc signal)
I have updated setting on the TV as per some forums I have read so am sure its not the TV.
Now the TV says the native resolution is 1366 x 768 but there is no exact match in display settings. Could this be the problems.
I have read that i can download switchresx and this should fix the problem.
Can anyone shed any light on this it would be much appreciated>
Thanks

Definitely the second computer can be a big help. If you set up Screen Sharing between the two so that the mini's screen is shared over to the MacBook, you will be able to see the mini's screen on the MacBook even though the display connected to the mini is dark. And from the MacBook you will even be able to control the mini, so you can go into Displays Preferences on the mini and make alternate selections for resolution and, if necessary, refresh rate. Hopefully you will hit on a combination that will light up the mini's attached display.

Apple tv 2 doesn't work with Sony Bravia

Hi,
I have tried to connect the Apple tv 2 to a Sony Bravia (model:KLV-32BX300), after I make the connection (HDMI), I get initially the apple logo, but after a few seconds I only get the screen to change slightly color, like if wanted to make a connection, but nothing happens. After a while a "Unsupported signal, check you device imput" comes up, after that I get the apple logo again!!! and everything starts all over....
I have tried many HDMI cables, unplug the tv and the apple tv... Before I hade the apple tv 2 connected to tv Sharp, and everything worked perfectly.
I'm desperate!!!
Hope somebody can help!
Thanks

I think the fact that it doesn't work on 2 TV's does tend to suggest the problem is with the Apple TV rather than the TV, but this is by no means certain.
Jailbreaking may or may not be the problem, however it does create another problem for you in that if the problem is a result of jailbreaking we cannot discuss a fix under the Terms of Use for these communities.
Factory restoring to remove any unauthorised modifications may resolve the problem and allow us to discuss the problem should it persist.

Apple TV and Sony Bravia, Slight video distortion when streaming local video

I have a 3rd Generation Apple TV and a Sony Bravia TV
When I am strwaming movies from iTunes, it appears it is skipping frames every few seconds. I have it hooked up through a Sony ES receiever, and i have by passed it to go directly to the TV. Below is all the troubleshooting i have done:
- Changed the HDMI cable
- Plugged it in directly to the TV
- I have tried 2 Different TV's in the house (Video Streaming is fine on both TVs)
- Tested the video on 2 macs and window media center, videos play fine
- Moved the Airport Extreame and internet connection next to the unit
- streamed from Both my macs and the WMC PC.
- tried connecting either net to Airport extreame with the Mac
- Streamed a movie trailer and it looked fine.
- Changed the resolution of the apple tv from 1080P to 720P
- Played movies from the PS3 and DVD play, no problems with the picture on the TV
- Power cycled EVERYTHING!
I have over 400 movies on my media server, and none of them acted like this on my 1st generation Apple TV i just sold.
The weird part is that it only happens to the movies i am streaming on this specific TV. I know the TV is good, the moveis are fine. And the connection between the device and the system hosting the movies is fine..
Anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Make sure its compatible
H.264 and protected H.264 (from iTunes Store): Up to 5 Mbps, Progressive Main Profile (CAVLC) with AAC-LC audio up to 160 Kbps (maximum resolution: 1280 by 720 pixels at 24 fps, 960 by 540 pixels at 30 fps) in .m4v, .mp4, and .mov file formats

How to correct "An incompatible audio signal" with Apple TV and HD signal

I have an Apple tv2(mc572Ll/a) running version 4.4.4 of the software, connecting to an older Sharp Aquos LCD-26d6u TVvia a regular HDMI cable.
I used to be able to watch a rented movie until my onsitel technician/ teenager adjusted something.
Now when the preview plays the sound works. When a video is displayed using AirPlay from the iPhone the sound works.
But when the HD movie plays the message "an incompatible audio signal has been received. Check the output device settings" and there is no sound.
When I connect this to a newer HDTV the movie sound works.
Any suggestions on what Apple tv or tv settings to use to get the sound back (other than upgrading my technician/teenager/tv)?

Thanks! I changed the Dolby setting from On to Auto, and the sound started working for Netflix TV shows. Before I was getting the message:
     Incompatible audio format received check output device settings
and there was no sound.
The Settings are accessed through Apple TV.   When you have Apple TV on, and you see all the colored rectangles for Netflix, huluplus, HBO etc., (which can be accessed by repeatedly hitting the Menu button on the remote), the top row shows:
   Movies   TV Shows Music Computers Settings
Use the 4 way controller to choose Settings, then press the button in the center of the 4 way controller to select Settings. Then select Audio Video. Then scroll down to Dolby Digital. When you are on Dolby Digital and you push the button in the center of the 4 way controller, the setting will change. I changed the Dolby Digital setting to Auto.

No audio when connecting 2009 White Macbook to Sony Bravia TV

Hello,
I'm trying to connect my 2009 Macbook to my Sony Bravia TV but having problems with the audio.
I'm using a Mini-DVI to VGA Adapter to connect the Macbook with a VGA cable connected to the back of the TV in the PC location.
I'm trying to connect the audio from the Macbook to the TV using a two male 3.5 mm audio cable from the Mac's headphone jack to the audio port behind the TV under the VGA port.
But no sound is coming from the TV. Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thanks.

OK, I feel a little foolish. I had to rerun AutoProgram to let it rescan the channels. I had tried that but gave up too soon. When it hadn't found any channels at all when it was about 60% done, I assumed it wouldn't find any. I finally had the patience to let it run and it found the channels.
Does anyone have a QAM channel lineup map for the Boston area?

Connecting my macbook to sony bravia with AUDIO

I just setup my macbook to my sony bravia via mini dvi adapter to hdmi and it works perfectly. Now, the problem I have is getting the audio to work. I tried using my RCA audio cord to hook it up, but there is no sound on my tv. I would appreciate any suggestions on what else I should do, thanks.

Its the newest model available. The problem I have is that when i plug my audio cable (RCA) into the tv from my macbook, i get no sound and its getting aggrevating haha.

Hi all, I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to Sony Bravia tv using Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support , when connected to the HDMI on tv I get a picture of the mac screen saver ( the starburst ) no video/audio,thanks, Derek

Hi all, I'm trying to connect my macbook pro to Sony Bravia tv using Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI Cable with Audio Support , when connected to the HDMI on tv I get a picture of the mac screen saver ( the starburst ) no video/audio,any ideas? thanks, Derek

Dave I'm glad to say that it works perfectly but I'm embarrassed to say that my 12 year old nephew hooked it up in about 10 minutes.
If you have the Kanex Mini DisplayPort cable it will work, what confused me was changing the display settings in System Preferences,
and dragging the mac screen from the mac onto the tv. Sorry I cant be more helpful but you have the right cable now you need a 12 year old nephew.
Good luck Derek

I am trying to hook my macbook pro to a sony bravia TV via DVI to HDMI cable and the TV will not recognize the signal. The same set up has worked with three other, though different televisions. Any thoughts?

Is the TV set to take input from the HDMI connection?
On your computer, if you open the Displays preferences and do not see an Arrangement tab (or there is an Arrangement tab that shows only a single monitor) then there is something physically wrong with your connection. Try clicking Detect Displays just to see if the computer can now sense the presence of the connection. Check your connections.
If you do have an Arrangement tab, and it shows two screens, then click Gather Windows to bring the TV's Displays preferences on to your main screen if the TV is not yet showing an image. Set the proper resolution (probably 720p, 1080i, or 1080p). Set the refresh rate (probably 60Hz) if that preference is shown. You should see a picture at this point. I recommend turning off mirrored displays if it is enabled.

@RW4HP ,
Hello and thank you for posting on the HP support forums. Lets see if we can get your sound issue resolved here.
First thing we will want to do is break down each step in the chain of components.
First thing you will want to try is to connect directly to the display with your notebook and try to play the movie.
If no sound go to the next HDMI input on the Display. NOT THE SONY. If no sound from each of the input ports on the Display. Change the HDMI cable.
Repeat the first steps.
Now if that fails try another DVD. If you are still having a no sound issue try a new media player.
Switch up to VLC media player. The only reason I suggest this one is due to the fact that is a free player and is loaded full of codecs that support almost anything.
VLC Media Player
If this fails to do the job then we shall move on to the removal of the drivers.
Now when you go to uninstall the HDMI driver you will want to do this from safe mode. This will make sure no other drivers or software are live to make a mess of the removal.
Before you remove the drivers though you will want to download the drivers that are the only supported drivers for your system from this link.
HP ENVY 17-j001eb Notebook PC Drivers
Now boot into safe mode and remove the HDMI drivers and the Graphics and Sound drivers.
Windows 8 Safe Mode
Once you have done all this the next thing is to follow the steps for troubleshooting HDMI.
Here are some links.

This next link resolved an issue with no sound when updating to windows 8.1.

Apple TV 3 not working with Sony Bravia KLV-26T400A

CURRENT GENERATION APPLE TV (3)
Hi I recently bought an ATV 3 which works fine with a Panasonic TV but is not detected on the HDMI input (or any of the others listed in the Sony menu) by a several year old Sony Bravia KLV-26T400A despite the specs saying it supports 1080 p HDMI input. The HDMI lead is the same that worked successfully with the Panasonic TV. I have reset the Sony to factory settings, turned the power on and off; cut the power to the ATV 3 and re-booted and tried the fixes I've seen listed on other threads which speak of editing the External Input labels and skipping the ones you don't use (on the Sony) but none of these have helped, can anyone help?
Thanks
Simon

That does make things more difficult. Is the monitor HDCP compliant? Seeing as it's an issue with the display and not the device the only thing I could suggest is to get hold of another TV in order to lower the resolution on ATV. If that doesn't work then i'm not really sure what else to try i'm afraid.
