TS2090 Poor/fluctuating audio when connected to an AV receiver.

I have an Apple TV (3rd gen) and I have it connected to my HDTV through my Yamaha AV receiver (model HTR-4065) using an HDMI cable. For some reason the audio coming through is very low and sometimes fluctuates up and down. Not sure what's causing this. When I disconnect it from the receiver and reconnect it directly to the TV with the same cable the audio comes in normally. I have my HDTV's audio output set to Dolby and have tried PCM but neither seem to correct the issue. My HDTV is a Vizio btw. Anyone else experiencing this issue and have you found any remedies?
Thanks!

The Apple TV cannot be turned off except by physically pulling the plug. It can only be placed into standby. But this has nothing to do with your issue. Does your AVR have multiple HDMI inputs and a single output to your TV? You have to switch back to your cable box input. This is a function of your AVR. not the Apple TV.

2009 24-inch iMac 3.06GHz (EMC no. 2267). I don't get any audio when connecting my Sony HD TV to my iMac via mini DisplayPort. Is there a fix or hardware upgrade? I'm using a Kanex Mini DisplayPort to HDMI cable w/ audio support.

You can connect the audio from your iMac to your TV using a mini jack (like headphones plug) to rca (regular red and white audio connectors used on every TV,DVD, etc) cable.
On your TV, you need to be able to set the audio for the HDMI input you will use to "analog" and connect the rca end of the cable to the analog inputs on your TV.

Winston, you CAN sync without transferring the files to the Apple TV HDD.
That's not correct, although I now understand you.
Select Custom sync and choose not to transfer files.
As I say I realise what you are saying, but it is your library database file that is synced, your music is streamed.
It has worked in the past for me and it still works now, I can see all the albums on the Apple TV in 'My Music' only when I go to play a file: silence. Both on the television and on the stereo.
Have you by any chance turned the volume down on the tv.
And yes, there is a reason to disable sound output via HDMI, because there is no use to have two audio streams outputting at the same time.
Sorry I don't follow your reasoning here. We don't use the DVD player in the car, I haven't considered disabling it though.

Tv 20WLT56B lost audio when connected to PC

I have a toshiba 20WLT56B tv which produces no audio when i connect my PC to it via an audio cable to the tv PC audio in. It use to work then i tried tuning my tv using the controls as i lost my remote and now there is no audio. Audio is okay when a tv station is tuned, and the PC produces audio through external speakers. Is there a factory reset or what else could you advise please

That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the Toshiba USA forum, so I don't have any information on it. You might want to check Toshiba in your region.

No audio when connected to stereo

My iPhone 5c on iOS8.1 will not play music when connected to the audio output from our stereo or iHome docking station. My husband has the same phone and his plays fine. The speakers on the phone work and I get sound though headphones. I've tried powering off/on and resetting my phone. Is there a setting that is preventing sound when connected to audio output cable?

It would be helpful to know how the HDMI cable is attached to your MacBook Pro cos my MBP C2D 17" has no HDMI connector.
Perhaps you would be kind enough to give us the complete setup you're using, then we may be able to offer some assistance.

Poor sound quality when connected to the TV

I'm using the Dynex TV connector ( http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=7826748&type=product&id=1142295759 733 ) to connect my iPod Classic to the tv and it works - sort of. The picture is great but the audio is poor. I have my iPod audio level set all the way up and the tv on full blast but the sound still comes out barely above a whisper - even on the shows that I have bought through iTunes. Any ideas?

Hi gugulino1,
"the network is too busy at the evening"
The speed drop is caused by the BWdetection iChat tests at launch, probably when idle it is not at full capacity, iChat detects the idle low bw. I wonder if it would help to transfer a file high speed and launch iChat when the fast transfer runs. That bandwidth would be fantastic.
Yes, the audio has to use less bandwidth in favour of the video when signal is declining. That was a choice. Actually I'm very glad to hear iChat video works on this network. It means that you can iChat in trains and stuff anywhere as long as you have that IP and network presence. No more routers and settings, or a combination of dsl and UMTS would be powerful.
The network is still very small so I guess it's bandwidth capacity gets"less broad" when more users are starting data intensive net traffick like audio / video streaming. The network has not yet reached the intended coverage and Switserland is not the easiest to cover. So yes, congestion may be very well causing this, since there are not a lot of users yet I do not exclude interference. Sony phones are on 2.4 and they interfere with the Airport.
This antenna though should overcome this problem, if you can videochat clear and sweet during the day the bandwidth needs a little extra and this antenna device gives just that extra push. For certain it is advisable untill the network is up to speed in Europe.
Nice to have an early adaptor in the Forum, welcome.

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?

No audio when connecting iMac to LED TV

I connected my iMac (using a mini display to DVI adapter) to my LED TV (using an HDMI to DVI Digital Video Cable), the picture appears but the only sound there is is that coming out of the iMac. Under system preferences their is only the internal speakers displayed in the output section. Please help!

When you connected the mini-display port to mini-dvi adapter, you lost any audio possible. dvi standard doesn't support audio. If your iMac is a early 2009 or earlier, it doesn't support audio over the mini-displayport. The late 2009 and mid 2010 iMacs support audio over the mini-displayport per this article:

Hope this doesn't confuse you too much.

HP Envy dv7 - No Audio When Connected to TV by HDMI Cable; Windows 8.1

I know this is one that has been floating around the forums for a while but I have not been able to find anything that works in my situation. When I connect my laptop to my TV (Panasonic Viera Plasma) via an HDMI cable, I can get the video to show on the TV fine but there is no audio on the TV; it comes out of the laptop. I have tried everything I can think of including deleting the drivers then reinstalling them, updating them, rolling them back, etc., etc., etc.
Here are the specs on my laptop:
HP ENVY dv7 Notebook PC
Windows 8.1 64-bit, 8GB RAM
Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-3230M CPU @ 2.60GHz
Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000
Intel(R) Display Audio (with Beats Audio)
IDT High Definition Audio CODEC
Also, here is a snapshot of the Playback Devices:
As you can see, I have nothing which says "HDMI". I have gotten quite frustrated with not being able to get this to work. I would appreciate any help I can get. Thank you.

This is one of the BIGGEST reasons why I would want to take my PC and chuck it into the nearest heavily traveled lane of traffic and watch it get completely destroyed by any vehicle that runs over it then go buy a MAC. The idiocy involved in doing such a simple task is revolting.
FIrstly, and in no way am I directing my ire at you specifically, I have already performed almost everything you have listed for me to try... PREVIOUS to me posting this cry for help.
Secondly, I included a screen shot of the sound devices in my first post and indicated that my display driver/device is Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000. Beyond that, I don't know what you are looking for.
Thirdly, and most frustrating, the document you told me to "follow every single word of instruction" (which I have previously done) doesn't even tell me to connect the laptop to the TV. It talks about the different kinds of connections but never actually TELLS me to connect the laptop to the TV and WHEN to do it.
When I connected my laptop to my TV for the first time it never tried to load ANY drivers. HOWEVER, it does show "PANASONIC TV" (the brand of my TV) and the monitor type in the resolution dialog. But it also show no other type of monitor.
The biggest issue I can see is that there is NO DRIVER LISTED FOR THE HDTV AUDIO in the sound devices. Therefore how could it transmit audio via the HDMI cable since it doesn't seem to even recognize it?
I am at my wits end. And I have NO INTENTION OF PAYING SOMEONE TO MAKE THIS WORK!!!! There is NO reason why it should not work upon conection of the HDMI cable.
What the hell is wrong with HP (or any other PC manufacturer - and Microsoft, as well) when the simple task of connecting a laptop to a TV is so complex and convoluted. And, by the way, I am an electrical engineer with multiple degrees... And this doesn't make sense to me!!! For pity's sake, can someone please give me a simple solution to what should be a simple issue??!!

I have a Airport Express I use primarily for AirPlay with my iPhone 4 (iOS6.1.3). Is there a way to set AirPlay as the default audio when connected to wifi?

At the moment, when I re-connect to wifi (come home), I must select AirPlay as the desired audio.
I know this is managble, but it would work a lot more easily if it was possible to select a default for AirPlay, or iPhone.

I would suggest that you perform a "soft" reset on the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) that you just got from eBay. This type of reset will temporarily (5 minutes) disable both the base station and wireless security passwords so that you can access it with the AIrPort Utility to make the necessary changes.

HT3625 Macbook pro 13 2012 not showing line in audio when connected to preamp

I have a preamp connected to the audio in/out jack on my macbook pro 13" 2012. when i plug the audio in from my preamp the sound only shows it as a headphone output and does not list it under input. i also have no button "use audio for:"

You should also ask this in the MacBook Pro forum. This is the forum for the white and black plastic MacBooks that were discontinued in 2010. You should also post this question there to increase your chances of getting an answer.

IMac 27 - very poor quality audio when using analogue headphone output

Hi,
I've had my iMac 27 (i7 quad core, early 2010, OS X 10.6.4), hooked up to my hi-fi via the headphone output jack (analogue) since i bought the machine a few months ago, and its worked fine. However, the audio quality has suddenly deteriorated. The volume is very low, meaning that I can only hear anything if I turn up my hi-fi volume all the way, and then the sound is distorted (as you'd probably expect). Turning up the volume on say, iTunes, whist playing a track, combined with turning up the iMac's output volume does cause an increase in overall volume, but it only makes the difference between totally inaudible and very quiet! Its as if there is some internal output- level setting within the iMac that has 'stuck' at a very low setting!
Troubleshooting actions carried out so far:
Removing the audio cable from the iMac's headphone socket allows the Imac to play via its own internal speakers, and this works fine! (The sound is good, volume is decent, no distortion). So, its just the headphone audio that is affected!
I've verified the sound settings in system preferences. They look fine.
I've performed several soft and hard reboots (with up to 24-hours separating power-off/power-on cycles), but to no avail.
I've booted into Windows XP (bootcamp) and the same audio problem persists (so its not the O/S that's causing the issue).
I've checked the cable and my hi-fi by removing the 3.5mm terminating plug from the imac and sticking into my mp3 player's headphone jack. All works fine. I then inserted the 3.5mm plug plug into my laptop's headphone jack. Again, perfect sound reproduction through my hi-fi. I then returned the plug to the imac's headphone socket and the audio problem re-surfaced, so its definitely the imac that is at fault.
I've ran the extended hardware tests too - no faults found.
I reckon its a hardware fault, but just wondered if anyone else had experienced the same problems?
Incidentally, my Imac is well within its 12-month warranty, but the complimentary 90-day Applecare cover has expired. Looks as if I'm going to have to make an appointment with a 'Genius', but I didn't want to go through the hassle of transporting the system unless necessary. Thankfully, I've had none of the other widely reported quality issues, and apart from this audio problem the machine has performed flawlessly.
Kind regards.

I have 30 new imacs running Snow Leopard. They replace 30 emacs that were running panther. I have 30 headsets (labtech) that worked beautifully with my emacs. Used them so my kids could create imovie projects using imovie 6. Well all that has changed with my new imacs. I went to use imovie 9 today and what a disaster. NONE of the headsets would work as they had on the emacs. The kids had to wiggle the plugs and that would sometimes create sound out of one channel, no channels, or would create a crackling sound. Worse than that is that it would give the kids the spinning beach ball. They would unplug the headsets and after about 1 minute imovie would return to normal. I took some of the headsets and tried them out on an emac I have in the room and they all work. I tried them on my macbook pro and they all work. So, it is not wiring or a plug. The sound prefs are setup correctly. Any suggestions? Has anyone else experienced this problem? Here I have new imacs which will allow more sophisticated projects with the iLife apps, but can't use them due to inoperable headsets. I have tried three different brands of headsets and 2 of them will not work at all. These were brand new imacs - right out of the box, and brand new headsets. This is very frustrating to me and the students.
Any help would be appreciated. How can apple not design a fully functioning headphone jack as they have in the past?

How do you get sound on your Apple TV when connected to a SS receiver?

I have a new Marantz Surround Sound receiver and a fairly new Samsung HD tv.    I connected my TV, Blue Ray player, and cable box with HDMI to the back of the receiver as specified in the connection directions. Great picture and sound for TV and BD player....but when I try to connect my Apple TV, picture is great...but no sound.    I connected the HDMI to the back of the TV (as specified in the Apple TV directions) and used an optical cable for sound (connected Apple TV and back of the receiver...only one optical port available.)
According to the reciever set up, the only source port with OPT set as default is the CD port (I will not be attaching a CD player to the receiver)...so when I turned on the TV and receiver, I put the receiver on CD as the source....no sound.   I made sure that the volume should have been high enough to hear.   I moved through all the sources that include TV, CD, BD, Aux, DVD, Game, and SAT (cable box)....nothing on any of them.
I saw the suggestion to go to Audio on the Apple TV and change the audio output from auto to 16 bits....did that.   No change.
Any other suggestions? I know there must be a solution....

The iTunes/iPod software isn't set up to let you sync songs from more than one libray, but if you manually manage the iPod you can add tracks from multiple computers without removing the existing content. Personnaly I think syncing with a library is a much better way to manage your iPod, so I'd suggest you just copy the stuff you bought at work onto a memory stick, then take it home and import it into your iTunes library there.
