You may want to take a look at this application (Airfoil).

  • Negligible audio from remote speakers - airport express

    i've got a remote problem i just can't figure out.
    i have been running my itunes through my home stereo system via my airport express. besides some inconsistent rebuffering problems, everything has run fine for about a month. about a week ago, i removed the ethernet cable to the airport for a while and then reinserted. my internet connection continues to work fine, but now i cannot play my itunes through my stereo receiver. if i turn my itunes volume onto full and my receiver to half volume, i can get some volume out of it, but negligible. at this volume, i should be blowing out the windows. i have tried re-starting my express, different audio input channels, new rca to mini-jack cable, a different stereo system, going through my airport admin and itunes preferences, running other equipment through the receiver (to ensure the receiver is working fine - it does) and nothing has resolved the issue.
    if anyone can offer some advice, i'd appreciate it. this very well might drive me insane.

    Hi King Paul,
    Airtunes dropping out? What do you have " Streaming Buffer Size " set to? I have mine set at medium.
    iTunes>preferences>advance>Streaming Buffer Size
    or
    there could be interference:

  • I am trying to stream my music from laptop over airport express to my stereo while being able to use the internet at the same time. I am on a PC and have a Verizon Fios router. Little help?

    I think I have tried everything I could find/think of to get this to work. I can connect it to my stereo and stream music fine but the internet won't work. I really just want it to join/or extend so that my internet connection remains intact and I can stream music and surf the web at the same time.
    Any help would be appreciated!
    Thanks

    You would probably want your Express to join the network if an extender isn't required. Reset to factory settings and join the network.
    If you do want your Express as an extender run an Ethernet cable between the Express and the Verizon router and set the Express up to be in bridge mode, with the same WiFi network name and password as your Verizon router.

  • Stream audio from Mac to airport without using iTunes?

    Hi,
    I want to know if I can stream my audio output to an airport express that's connected to my speakers without necessarily using iTunes. As an example, when watching a movie on Netflix on my MacBook Pro. The movie playback is through Safari, not iTunes so is there a way to send that audio to the airport express?
    Another question: Would the new Apple TV do that too (of course not with Mac Netflix playback since it has Netflix support within it) with, for example, Sirius Media player running on my MacBook Pro?

    Wow! That was quick and so effective!! Thank you!
    I had never heard of that application. So now my question would be, can I do this with the new Apple TV instead of airport express??

  • How can i play audio from movies from atv2 to airport express?

    Music from atv2 to airport express appears to work okay, but not audio from movies.

    Thanks.  Seems odd that apple allow music to be streamed through itunes to airport express but we cannot play the audio from movies through itunes.

  • Can't stream music from iPhone to airport express when connected to internet

    I have an issue with my airport express. When the unit is used solely for streaming music from my IPhone to connected stereo speakers without an Ethernet cable attached it works fine.  When I attach an Ethernet cable to the airport express and connect to the Internet on my iPhone, the airport express will no longer stream music from the iPhone. This is a recent problem, previously I was able to access the Internet on my iPhone from the airport express, whilst simultaneously streaming music from the iPhone back to the airport express.

    Do you mean Lan cable? Can this be done wirelessly from itunes to airport express without the internet connections?  I can't connect to an airport express that's not connected to the internet.

  • I recently switched from LinkSys to Airport Express 802.11n.  I love it, but I can't get the Wii to talk to it so I can stream NetFlix.  I've found MANY discussions on this, but it's still not clear to me.  Anybody have a step by step so I can fix it?

    I recently switched from LinkSys to Airport Express 802.11n.  I love it...but now I my Wii can't see it so I can stream NetFlix.  I have found MANY discussions on line about this...but it's still not clear to me.  Anybody have a step by step way to fix this?  Thanks!  Jim Matherly

    Well, the Airport Express is also compatible with 802.11a, 802.11b, and 802.11g. If your Wii is unable to connect to the wireless network, I recommended changing the wireless security of your network.
    Open Airport Utility, select your Airport Express and click Edit. Navigate to the Wireless tab and change your security from WPA2 Personal to WPA/WPA2 Personal. Then click Update on the bottom right.

  • Streaming music FROM iPhone TO Airport Express?

    hi everyone
    anybody knows an app who can do this? Stream my iPhone music to an Airport Express?
    thanks!

    thanks for your replies.
    It's because I have one router for internet (that I share with my neighbors) and another with my Airport Express hooked to it.
    But I would like to stream my music when I go to my friends.
    I'll write to Apple

  • No sound on wireless connection from itunes to airport express

    Just configured a new AX to Linksys WRT54GSV4 using WDSremote, got a solid green light, airport's setup and admin programs v4.2 both see AX with linksys IP from DHCP. When playing itunes v6.0.1.3 I have a speaker choice of My Computer or Airport Express. to AX keeps saying connecting to "Airport Express" at the top and then the song progress bar shows but doesnt move as well as no audio. Audio does work on My Computer and to AX if I connect using the ethernet jack. Why no wireless audio?

  • Can I stream music to apple tv and airport express at the same time?

    Does anyone know if I can stream music to both AppleTV and Airport Express (speakers) at the same time?
    I have a TV in my living room and external speakers on my deck and want to stream music to both at the same time so I have the same music playing in both rooms - but I can't get an answer on IF I can do both at the same time or it I'd have to select one over the other?
    Anyone know?

    yes - the built-in music app allows to select one speaker only at the same time.
    now i've found the WHAALE Multiroom Player App (http://www.whaale.com) - and it sends directly from the iOS Device to my 6 AirPlay speakers. One of them is an Apple TV...
    all "in sync" and without any special hardware and additional software.
    And i am able to stream different songs to different rooms...
    Just AirPlay speakers - wifi router - WHAALE -> that's easy :-)

    Printing from iPad to airport express USB printer

    Exactly my point: it's not a problem of not having the right printer, it's a matter of iOS not allowing it because Air Print is blocking it, probably because of a deal with HP.
    But, I've solved the problem so now I can print from my iMac, my Mac Air, my iPhone and my iPad. No thanks to the folks at Apple who purposely blocked that functionality.
    Can you print from your iPad directly to the printer without involving an intervening computer, yes or no.

  • I stream video/audio from my iPhone to AppleTV and it works fine. I want to use headphones on the iPhone so I can stream the video and listen on the headphones, but Airplay will not allow me to select both AppleTV and headphones, I can only select one.

  • Can i transmit music from iphone to airport express without being connected to internet?

    can i transmit music from iphone to airport express without being connected to internet? just from phone to express via local network or whatever it's called.

  • How can I find my Mac Adress for the Ethernet Port from a Apple Airport Express Device ?

    How can I find my Mac Adress for the Ethernet Port from a Apple Airport Express Device ?

    You can only locate, lock or erase your device when it is logged into iCloud and 'Find My Phone' is enabled, additionally the device will need to be switched on and connected to a wifi or cellular network.
    Unfortunately, you cannot activate iCloud or 'Find My Phone' remotely.
