TS5150 No audio from my Apple TV.

Have a 3rd gen Apple TV but I'm getting no audio. I've tried the standard recommendations but nothing yet. Further advise would be great.

My research has lead me to this or am I barking up the wrong tree?

How do I get analog audio from my apple TV 2nd generation?

I am trying to find a solution to getting an analog (RCA stereo) audio output from my 2nd gen AppleTV to my Onkyo receiver so that I can listen to audio from it on my "B" (outdoor zone 2) speakers. Unfortunately the receiver only accepts anaLog input for the zone 2 speakers. The 2nd generation AppleTV only outputs digital audio. Kind of a pickle. The only solution I've found so far is a pricey digital to analog converter that costs more than the ATV! I have no idea if this will even work, or still output sound through the HDMI cable at the same time.
Anyone out there have any advice or suggestions? Any and all help would be most appreciated as Apple tech support can be very unhelpful without paying for the support plan.
Thanks,
Brian

Thanks so much for the quick responses! I've just ordered a DAC from B&H made by Gefen that should do the job. I opted not to get the one that decodes Dolby Digital as I only intend to listen to music on my Zone 2 speakers that are located outside on the back porch. However they do make one that would be great for those needing DD decoding, and I am told they corrected the popping sound when changes sources or channels.
I could have bought a much more expensive receiver, but I feel that a have a stellar system that is up to date with almost all of the new technology. This will all change in 5 years I am sure! At least for now I am all hooked up with HDMI and am receiving the best in picture and sound, with the exception of my "B" speakers being analog. No biggie.
I'm pretty happy with my Apple TV2 with except for the occasional wi-fi glitch and the lack of Pandora.
Thanks again for the replies!

What's wrong with the audio from my Apple TV?

I will occasionally rent a movie on iTunes because they are a dollar less than the same movie rental through DirecTV. Saturday night I rented and watched “The Dark Night Rises” and was disappointed in the audio portion of this movie as it played on my home theatre system. My ATV2 is connected via HDMI to my Yamaha RX-V65 receiver. My router (which is in the den) is an Apple Extreme dual-band router. Throughout the movie, the dialogue was never centered correctly, the rear channels had very little information, and the left rear speaker had some strange intermittent static noise. This was very disappointing. The following day I tested my amplifier and speaker setup with Yamaha’s in-built speaker test tones and all was well. I then played a Blue ray movie and the audio was fine, including output from the left rear speaker. BTW, while playing the movie through the ATV2, all 6 lights on the Yamaha receiver were lit up indicating all 5.1 speakers were active, but the audio was a mess!! Can anyone tell me what might be wrong? Do these movies rented from the iTunes store and played over the ATV2require a special sound field program on the Yamaha? Any help would be appreciated

if you want the peaks to stay, right click on the audio meter and choose static peaks.
Todd recorded a great video about the audio meter and mixer here:

HT3291 How do I control volume when I'm streaming audio from my apple tv to another AirTunes speaker?

I see no way to adjust the volume... am I missing something?

It's kind of clunky, you'll have to hold the Select button to bring up the options menu then select Speakers. Make sure the active Airplay speaker is selected then use the left and right keypad buttons to adjust the volume.

Cannot hear sound from my apple tv but computer has audio

I Cannot hear audio on Apple TV/HDTV but audio is fine on computer when I mirror from my. Ma

Hey there JaniceBud,
It sounds like you are unable to hear any audio from your Apple TV but the same HDMI cable to a computer works fine. If it has never worked with your Apple TV, use this article to help troubleshoot the issue:

http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5150
If it worked at first, but doesn't anymore use this article first, then the above if needed:

I have an HDMI connection to the receiver and on to the TV - but there is non audio from my Apple TV. Not for movies, music, YouTube etc.   I have checked all of the connections and the video is xlnt. Have also toggled thru all possible Dolby/Audio combinations in settings. Help! Any suggestions?

Hello again Parker -
The basic setup is Digital Cable Box, DVD Player, Denon Receiver/Amp and TV Monitor. To that I added the Apple TV. The Receiver only has two HDMI IN slots (one for cable and one for the DVD) and one out to the Monitor.
[I bought a switcher to toggle the DVD and the AppleTV back and forth but just disconnected the DVD to simplify when I ran in to trouble.]
So now I have:
     HDMI from the Cable Box to the Receiver
     HDMI from the Apple TV to the Receiver (in the old DVD slot which always worked well)
     HDMI from the Receiver to the Monitor
     RCA's from the Receiver to the Subwoofer and the other speakers
In addition I have some backup connections:
     S-Video, Optical Audio and L/R RCA's from the Cable Box to the Receiver
     S-Video from the Receiver to the Monitor
Wait - JUST FOUND IT!
By going thru the excercise to track all of the connections per your suggestion, I found an anomaly when I switched Receiver sockets for the HDMI links. The video moved but the audio didn't. Turns out the monitor was using the optical audio feed from the receiver. So I disconnected the optical audio and the monitor automatically switched to the HDMI audio feed!   Looked promising...
So I first connected an optical audio feed from the ATV to the receiver - Audio! Then I pulled it, but the audio didn't switch to the HDMI feed. It stopped. Would be OK if all I was going to use is the ATV, but I need the DVD player too and I can't use a switcher to toggle between them if I have to unplug the optical audio each time.
This is becoming a career! Any suggestions?

No audio from Apple TV

i installed today my apple TV, but there is No sound getting out from TV!

Hi M.zaferani,
The article below may be able to help you with this issue.
Click on the link below to see more details and screenshots.
I've quoted some helpful highlights for you:
Apple TV (2nd generation): No audio when using Apple TV
Symptoms
Apple TV (2nd generation) automatically sets the audio output mode for use with your TV or AV receiver. In some cases, however, certain TVs or AV receivers may not properly play audio from your Apple TV.
Resolution
If there is no audio coming from your TV or AV receiver when using your Apple TV, including sound effects, you should first confirm the following:
The volume on your TV, or AV receiver (whichever is used for audio from Apple TV), is not muted, and is at a high enough volume.
The Sound Effects option, under the Audio & Video menu on your Apple TV, is not set to Off. To verify:
On your Apple TV, go to Settings > Audio & Video.
Navigate to the Sound Effects option and make sure its set to On
If there is still no audio when using your Apple TV, try changing the Audio Output from your Apple TV:
Make sure you have the latest Apple TV software update installed.
On your Apple TV, navigate to Settings > Audio & Video.
Navigate to the Audio Output option.
Push the Select button on your Apple Remote to switch to 16 bit.
Verify that audio is now coming from your TV or AV receiver.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

Recording just audio from a video DVD

I thought I was ordering a CD with the music of a Broadway show. It turns out to have been a DVD of the entire production.
How do I get just the audio from the DVD into iTunes? And while I'm at it, once I get the audio, I'll need to strip the dialogue, and I haven't got any idea how to do that, either!
Hope someone can help!
Jimper

You can use Audio Hijack to record the audio from the Apple DVD player, which can be sent directly to iTunes as an ACC or AIFF file.
http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijack/
Stripping the "dialog" (assuming dialog is spoken commentary during the performance??) will be much more difficult. There are techniques to use a an audio editing program such as Audacity
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/
to invert a one side of a stereo track to remove vocals for Karaoke, but the sound quality will be greatly diminished, the bass and even the vocals may be removed.
So if there is "dialog" on all of the songs it may be cheaper to buy the CD.
Hope this helps.

Why can't you purchase an audio book on the Itunes store from an Apple TV?

Apple seems to be moving everything they sell on Itunes to graphics, away from the traditional text based browse function they started with.
I don't think they've done the most effective job on that move on a PC/Mac, it's sometimes easier just to go through the Apple TV and buy from there and let it just sync and transfer to my Itunes library on my PC.
However, I've noticed that you can't purchase an audiobook from an Apple TV, though you can purchase everything else that can play on an Ipod from there.
Audiobooks just don't show up as an option on the Itunes store from an Apple TV, but they do play on your Apple TV if you purchase them from the Itunes store from the PC or Mac you sync or stream from.
Does anyone know if this is a licensing issue, or yet another oops/oversight on Apple's part? Doesn't seem to make sense, Apple has been pushing tighter and tighter integration between the Itunes store and Apple TV, and it's yet another lost revenue stream on Apple's part that I hope they fix.
If you can buy it from the store, you ought to be able to buy it using your apple TV. Period. Makes as much (non)sense as restricting what content you can purchase if you are buying it from an Iphone vs. a PC vs. a Mac. If you sell content on your store that plays on your devices, then sell it, regardless of which device (that you also make and sell) that your customers access your Itunes store from. It's why they make us sync everything back to Itunes on a computer in the first place.
And yes, while it may sound counter-intuitive to listen to an audio book from a device connected to a TV,
I listen to audiobooks from my Apple TV nightly in my bedroom to go to sleep by, streamed via airtunes to the Aux port on my clock radio by my bed, then turn the TV off and snooze. Works extremely well and has for years now. Beats headphones or futzing with external speakers on an Ipod or trudging upstairs to the room I have my PC in to stream an audiobook to airtunes, then back to bed. With Apple TV, it's pick, click, then turn off the tv and the lights. Sure would be nice to buy an audio book that way also.
Any thoughts on why they would restrict you from buying audiobooks from an Apple TV? To me, it's yet another lost revenue opportunity for impulse buys courtesy of Apple.

How can l get audio only from my Apple TV 3 to output through Iphone 5 using Airplay or something else so l can watch my Apple TV and listen to it through my iphine headphones without waking the family at night

I am wanting to remotely listen to the audio form my Apple Tv3 (about 13feet away).
I would normoally jusy plug in a headphone extension cable into the TV but it does
not have a headphone output jack.
I was thinking it would be the best option to simply have the audio stream to my iphone 5
thus allowing me to watch my Apple TV late at night without waking the family,
I was wanting to use the iphoine 5 as the audio sort of like a remove headphone reciever.
If l could get airplay ro play the audio from the ATV3 to the iphone5 then my guess is that
would be the best solution. Basically use the iphone 5 as an Airplay receiver / server.
Any other alternative would be great to hear. Any solution that gives me good quality sound
without cables running all over the family room.

Not possible. Audio can be output to airplay enabled speakers via ATV settings and then headphones connected to them.

How can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.

how can I stream audio from Apple TV 2 to Airport Express speakers.
I have LCD projector on one wall and connected ATV to it via HDMI.
Speakers on the other wall and connected to APXpress.

To be honest the times we've wanted to have music from more than one set of speakers, I've usually used my mac's iTunes library and controlled it either from the mac or from my phone, since they're not really the times we have any TV on anyway. I've tested AirTunes from the Apple TV but can't recall whether it worked with content from a streaming library.
Now I've got something to do.
