Suddenly lost audio output on Apple TV

I was using Apple TV and suddenly lost audio. Sound effects still work, but no other audio comes from anything in Apple TV.

Same problem. Worked fine last night while watching a purchased movie. This morning, video works fine, but no sound, from my computer itunes or itunes radio on the apple tv. Odd.
It seems the required update somehow knocked out audio. Once I updated the software on the Apple TV, the sound came back.

I lost audio output except for USB headset any Ideas?

Has anyone experienced the loss of audio output except for the USB port? If so what might I try to fix the problem?

Hello,
Ever had anything plugged into the sound out port, sometimes the jack doesn't close properly?
Have you done a PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

In fact, do 3 in a row, takes a bit of time.
Open Audio Midi Setup in Applications>Utilities, see the input & output options & KHz setting there, some things will change it for their own use, then not set it back.

Upgraded to 7.2 and totally lost audio output

I wonder if anyone can help.
I have upgraded from 7.1 to 7.2 logic pro. now when i try to open songs i've been working on, i get no audio output at alll, just some nasty clicks and pops.
all tracks look like they're playing and show bouncing meters, but the master output is showing no audio output at all.
this only seems to happen on songs i had started in 7.1 because if i just load up logic and start a new song there's no problem.
i thought an upgrade was supposed to iron out problems not create them!
anyone had the same problem or got any ideas i would appreciate hearing from you.
my system:
G5 dual 1.8 Gig
mac OS 10.4.6
logic pro 7.2
audio interface - Novation X-station

i've tried disconnecting the X-station and running logic on built in audio but exactly the same happens.
after more messing, i've found that there are a whole load of songs which won't play audio, these are all in one folder and are an album project.
other songs in other foldres seem to play OK.
i haven't made any changes to the folder and am totally confused as to what is happening.
when i open these songs and press play, i get a horrible click or pop but then no audio. however when i press stop i get the reverb tail of an audio track.
i thought i'd finished the album which is why i thought it was safe to install the 7.2 upgrade, however now the artist wants a few changes and i can't do anything at the moment.

Do you get any sound from any sessions other than
what you've described?
Does this also happen with internal/BuiltIn Audio?

Has anyone experienced the loss of audio when using Apple TV when it has been working fine?

I can't get any audio through my reciever when using Apple TV. It's been working fine until a week ago. I've check my reciever, unplug the TV, and Apple TV as described but nothing. I switch to my Direct TV input and I can get audio when not using ATV. I've tried most everything I've read on blogs but nothing. One of those "pull your hair out" issues. Any direction would be appreciated. Thanks, Vince

Hi there Vfall!
I have some information for you that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
If you can see video but can't hear sound
If Apple TV is connected to a receiver, make sure the receiver is turned on.
Make sure the input setting you've selected on your receiver matches the input you have your audio cables connected to. See the documentation that came with your receiver for more information.
Make sure the volume on your TV or receiver is turned up and isn't muted.
Check whether you can hear sound while playing video only. Also, check whether you can hear audio feedback while clicking through menu options.
If you're connected to the HDMI port on your TV and Apple TV, make sure your TV supports audio through its HDMI port. The HDMI ports on some older TVs support only video.
If you are using HDMI audio, try disconnecting and reconnecting the HDMI cable.
If you're connected to the HDMI port on your TV and Apple TV, make sure your TV is setup to receive audio from HDMI. For some TV's this is automatic, but for others there is a choice between digital and analog (for HDMI audio, choose digital). Read more about HDMI audio.
Try the other audio outputs on Apple TV to see if they work.
If possible, try using different audio cables.

Is there a way to connect the Apple TV as a second display without it automatically changing my Mac's audio output?

Is there a way to connect the Apple TV as a second display without it automatically changing my Mac's audio output? I would prefer to use an audio interface for playback and the apple tv as a third display. I know I can go back to system preferences and swap my output back manually, but it is getting to be really inconvienient. Thoughts?

Apple TV2 missing analog audio output for multi-zone system

Found out the hard way that most receivers can't support digital audio in multiple zones (i.e., Zone 2). Since Apple TV2 (ATV2) dispensed with any analog output, if you have a whole-house system that depends on mult-zone to distribute audio to various speakers, you won't be able to use ATV2 to stream music to anything other than Zone 1. The only outputs are HDMI and optical (both digital audio). I think I found a work around (which, of course costs more money) which is a "de-embedding" device from Atlona that takes HDMI in and splits out the audio to analog and passes the HDMI through to the receiver. The analog audio output then lets me connect to the analog in on the receiver so it can stream to all zones. I figure Apple just didn't have enough real estate on the new product to make room for analog, but it's a pain. Hope this helps someone. If anyone knows a better work-around, I'd love to hear it.

I have the same issue with a MacMini I use for music. My solution was to use an inexpensive optical splitter - one feed to the optical input of my receiver and the second to a DAC. Then run standard RCA audio cables from the DAC to the analog Zone 2 inputs.
Here is a link for a DAC
http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?cid=104&cp_id=10423&cs_id=1042302&pid=6884&seq=1&format=2
They should have the splitter as well.

Is it possible to stream Video to Apple TV (via Beamer with no real audio output) and at the same time stream Audio to an Airplay compatible device? (Bose Soundtouch)

I currently have the following set-up:
Ipad Mini Retina (with Airplay)
Beamer without proper audio output (picobeamer)
Bose Soundtouch (with Airplay)
Apple TV (3rd Gen)
When I stream a video via the Ipad, I either have the sound on my Soundtouch or Video via the beamer. Is there an option to have both at same moment? It really looks like I cannot have both at the same moment?
Thanks in advance.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Unfortunately, you can't split the Airplay stream as you would like to.

Using a radio app to Airplay music through my Apple TV. Works, but after some minutes, the Airplay audio output setting switches back to iPad. Why? Solution?

I want to use a FM radio app to Airplay music through my Apple TV (by using the synchronizing function). Works, but after some minutes, the Airplay audio output setting switches back to iPad. Why? Solution?
Why don't use iTunes? Because this just needs to many handling in order to get it where i want it (in general, this whole idea of doing everything online just works likes... ). An app is easier (that's why it is invented).

Hey AKfishgirl,
Thanks for the question. The common variable here is your Wi-Fi router. Let’s check to see if the commonly used ports are being blocked by a firewall on your router:

HT201343 Apple Tv mirror + Airport Express audio output = How to?

I want to mirror my MacBook to the Apple Tv but I want to send the audio to the Airport Express.
If I ask my Apple Tv to send the output to the Airport, it works just fine.
If, after that, I use the iPhone to mirror the screen and watch some video on youtube or Twitch, it works fine either.
But if I use my MacBook Pro to mirror the screen, the audio output is sent to my TV through the HDMI cord.
Is that any way that I can solve this?
What I want to do is just mirror my MacBook screen with the audio coming out through the Airport Speaker.
Thanks for any help, folks!

Hi wennberginho!
I have a couple of articles that should be able to help you with this issue. If you have a 1st generation Apple TV, you will want to reference this article:

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3291
However, if you are using a 2nd or 3rd generation Apple TV, you will want to reference this article:

Audio output keeps switching to Apple TV

My MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz doesn't support Airport Mirroring, yet every time I wake up my computer or come into range of my Apple TV it switches the audio output from my internal speakers to Apple TV. Only about 1 second of audio comes through the Apple TV, and then that stops too. I have to go into System Preferences, select a different output, then reselect "Internal Speakers" before I get audio back.
It's getting really annoying to have to do this half a dozen times a day. Any tips? Thanks!

If, If you use LogMeIn, blame their sound driver.

I have lost all audio output

I don't know what has happened, but I can't get any audio out from Soundtrack Pro anymore.
Even if I open previous projects, and try different audio outputs such as Built-in Out, Built in Line Out or my MOTU 828MK2, there's no audio, even though the meters show audio signal.
It worked a month ago, but even the projects I did one month ago are now silent.
In Final Cut Pro I have no problems getting the audio (thru my 828MK2) but when I switch to Soundtrack there's no sound.
I would have assumed they all use the same Audio/Midi setup?

go to settings, general, sounds, and check the volume. if the sound there is full blast, try going to settings, music, volume limit, and make sure that's turned off. now if that fails to work, try reseting the ipod by holding down the home button and the sleep/wake button at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen. if that doesn't work restore your ipod on itunes.

Can you redirect the audio output of iTunes via Apple TV?

I currently have iTunes running on Windows XP with an Airport Express connected to my home stereo. I toggle the iTunes audio between my PC and the Airport Express via the iTunes speaker setting. With Apple TV, will I be able to toggle the audio output from the Apple TV interface?
Thanks,
Chaaad

No, you can use AppleTV like an Express to have audio playing in iTunes relayed to it, but you can't play something on AppleTV and direct the output to the Express.

Audio output issue using Airplay Mirroring over Apple TV

I'm using the newest version of Apple TV to mirror my display from my MAC using the newest macbook pro with mountain lion 10.8.
The problem i'm having is whenever i try to change audio output in airplay mirroring mode the mirroring shuts off. I can't change outputs!! It's like it's forcing the macbook to use the apple tv hdmi port for audio. I NEED to use my USB DAC which i have connected to my MPB.
Grateful for any ideas, i did not expect the software to act as crappy as this. Using different audio sources successfully is something i took for granted.

Well, since I can't imagine this being a feature of Airplay I assume we're either hitting the limitations of the technology, or it's a bug. Knowing Apple I suspect it's a limitation of Airplay, perhaps because audio and video are sent out as an integrated stream?
I agree, this does suck, since all I have to use as audio is the tiny 1 watt speaker on my Epson projector! I can't even use audio out from the Apple TV, since all it has is that useless optical port. Very frustrating indeed.

Can I push audio out the Apple TV HDMI and optical output simultaneously?

I am trying to put audio to two different amplifiers 1) Surround sound and 2) stereo audio. Using HDMI connection to surround sound amp and trying to simultaneously use optical for audio to second stereo amplifier. NOt getting it to work and thinking the Apple TV box only drives one at a time. DOes anyone out there know?

It does both, I have OA to sound bar and HDMI to tv and get audio on both no problem. It is something on your set up. I think from your post both work but not at the same time? If you give a little detail it will help, but ATV does both audio outputs simultaneously and independently.

I have windows on my mac and lost audio and can't connect to the internet.anyone else having this problem? Or have it installed at the apple store?

I have windows on my mac which was installed at the apple store. I have lost audio and cannot connect to the internet on the windows side. Mac is ok. apple genius and tech support can't help me and say I need to go to microsoft. In fact the tech support was unaware that windows was loaded on by the apple retail store. Has anyone else had this problem?I recently bought fusion thinking this would help bridge between the two( as told by the genius bar) but it didn't help.Any ideas?

hey mate i used to have the same problem and i got computers maintenance guys out to fix it in the end and all it was, was the router.. got a new one and it was all good after that! i think some routers just arent compatible for some reason or another.
