Speakers to Apple TV

I want to hook speakers up to Apple TV. My amplifier does not have an optical output. I tried a optical/RCA converter but did not work. What's the best route to go?

optical -> rca converters are pretty much the only way to go
apart from a reciever which support hdmi in and out and support playing the audio part

  • My sound switches from internal speakers to apple Tv and i dont have an apple tv device

    I am having problems with sound. My speakers will switch from internal speakers to Apple TV for no reason when I am on a certain wifi network and ask for a password. I do not have an apple TV and in order for the sound to come out on the internal speakers i have to manually go into the preferences and switch back to internal speakers. This does this constantly while i am listening to music. Is there a way to shut off the feature so it will stay on internal speakers? This has happened ever since i made the upgrade to OS mountain lion. I never did this before. Thank you for your help.

    Are you sure that WIFI network doesn't have an AppleTV on it?  Just because you don't own it doesn't mean there isn't one on that network.  The laptop or better said the OS cannot differentiate between an AppleTV that you own or not.  If it sees one on the network, it will show you one as being available.  The automatic reconnection is happening probably because the last time you streamed to an AppleTV, you didn't drop that connection before sleeping the computer or shutting down iTunes.

    If you use LogMeIn, it is their sound driver.  I'm having identical problem and it started after using LogMeIn.

    The iPad/iPhone need to be on the same section of the network as the Apple TV. connect the Apple TV to the wireless router instead of the AT&T router. If you can, connect the other devices as well...

    If they have an optical input and a volume control, then there shouldn't be any reason why not.

  • Another question - old speakers to Apple TV?

    HI, one more question, I have a pair of (great) Bose 501 Series V speakers that I want to keep using, they are maybe 15 years old... To hook up to the receiver they have a clip to wire and there is the same clips to wire on the back of the stereo receiver. I want to get rid of the receiver and still use the speakers with Apple TV. So the question is how can I hook these speakers up to Apple TV? thanks again Cheryl

    as they are just now, you can't.
    the original appletv has 2 options to speaker connection, optical or composite.

    the new appletv only has optical or HDMI

  • 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.

  • What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices?

    What are the best AirPlay speakers for Apple devices? I would like to get some good speakers to be used with my iPod, iPhone and iPad. Ideally, they should be able to play using AirPlay and be quite powerful, but with a good design if possible.
    I am particularly interested in the Fidelio range of speakers by Philips.
    Thank you for your help in advance.

    Best is going to be a matter of opinion.  What environment are the speakers going to be used in? How large is the room? What type of music are you going to play? What features/functions would you like in the speakers? What price range are you looking for?  All of these are going to effect which speakers will best fit your needs.

  • Logitech Z506 5.1 Speakers and Apple TV - how to set up?

    Hi,
    As of now, to watch movies I've got an old Mac Mini conntected via VGA to an HP screen and a 2.1 Logitech speaker system plugged into the Mini. For listening to music, I simply plug the speakers into my iPhone or Mac.
    Now that my 2.1 speakers are broken, I was thinking about buying the Logitech Z506 5.1 speakers and an Apple TV so I could stream music and video from my iOS and OS X devices and use my HP screen in combination with the Logitech speakers.
    There are two basic problems for this set up to work:
    1. The Apple TV doesn't seem to have a connector that would allow me to directly plug in the Logitech Z506 speakers.
    2. My HP screen does have subpar speakers built-in and thus no connectors for external speakers – therefor, I can't use the screen as an intermediate between the Apple TV and the Logitech Z506 speakers.
    How would I have to set up the Apple TV, the Logtiech Z506 speakers and my HP screen to be able to have 5.1 sound for watching movies and listenting to music?
    Here's a link to the Logitech speakers I'm refering to, http://www.logitech.com/product/surround-sound-speakers-z506
    Please let me know if you need any additional information.
    best, Ian

    Ian,
    You'll need a digtial to analog converter to connect your digital Apple TV to your analog Z-506 speakers.
    One like this will output 5.1 sound for you.
    http://www.amazon.com/Panlong-Audio-Digital-Decoder-Converter/dp/B00AMC2J1Y
    The Apple TV connects via TOSLINK/optical cable to one side, and you connect your speaker's mini-jacks to the blue mini ports (each port handles 2 channels).
    I have the same issue connecting my digital out TV to analog computer speakers.

  • Connecting Speakers to apple TV 2nd gen

    Folks,
    I have harman kardon soundsticks ii and an apple tv that is connected to my tv via HDMI, is there a way to incorporate the speakers to this as well. The speaker connection is minijack, im not sure how to go about converting it to fit in to the apple tv's optical input.
    Thanks

    you can get converters but they are kinda pricy

  • Can I use my monitor and external speakers with apple tv

    I have an extra computer monitor (DVI input) and external speakers (3.5mm male audio jack.) Is there  some combination of adapters that I can use to hook up an apple tv to them in order to stream from netflix, and my itunes library?

    no but you can get tons of solutions where you connect something to your tv's minijack headset connector and then it wireless transfer the audio signal to a headset
    there are both bluetooth solutions belkin have one I use and there are also solutions where the headset is included and they use their own custom protocol
    but mind you there is no way to keep such setups in sync in terms of video and audio so if the system is poor in quality or pre-process the audio signal too much it cause audio and visuals to get out of sync

  • Connecting wireless speakers to Apple TV and Airport Extreme

    I've connected my Apple TV and synched my iPad and iMac with it, it all works fine. The problem i have is i have a Philips AD7000W wireless speaker which wont connect. Airport extreme can identify the Fidelio wi-fi network, but when i am asked to go to 192.168.1.1 and asked to identify my own wi-fi network it finds it but adds a 10-digit wpa passcode. I'm 100% certain this isnt my wpa (I actually use wpa2) passcode, but i cant check to see what it is as its hidden. When i try to put it what is my wpa2 passcode, it wont accept it. I've tried the installation process for the speaker on my iMac, iPad and iPhone have the same problem. All devices have the latest OS/IOS.
    The installation process for the speaker is easy, ie find the Philips network, go onto Safari and onto 192.168.1.1 and the page will ask to find your wi-fi connection, enter your wpa passcode and once synched the speaker should work.
    Anyone got any advice?

    maybe the speakers only works with windows then
    or maybe the speakers require some special program to work I would most likely check the wifi speaker makers page and or forum for more info as to compatability

  • 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.
