Using airplay speakers with apple tv

Hello,
I have been using airplay from my iphone to my apple tv for years now and it works great.  I wanted to expand my speaker network so I purchase a bose airplay speaker and want to stream that music to my apple tv (which is hooked up to my stereo) and also stream to the speaker at the same time.  It looks like I should be able to do this from my apple tv using the mulit speaker option? So I have the speaker set up on my network and can stream to my iphone to it fine using airplay.  I then change and stream to my apple tv (can only do one airplay source from iphone) In the airplay menu on the apple tv I see the bose speaker.  When I select it, it puts a check mark by the speaker but I have no sound from the bose speaker?  I have tired mutilple times but still cannot get it to work?  Can anyone confirm that you can go from iphone to apple tv to addtional speakers and have it work?  Or must I use itunes on the computer to stream to apple tv then it will support the mutilple speakers?

No, it really doesn't.
This is not a current feature of the ATV.

  • Can you block the onscreen keyboard of iphone while using airplay mirroring with apple tv?

    i would like to use airplay mirroring for presentations but when logining into say youtube or email i do not want my keyboard being replicated on the big screen. Is there an option just to mirror everything except the keyboard?

    mirroring size if perfect, i want to block out the on screen keyboard when loggin into something or any typing what so ever. This would be more for privacy when doing extended presentations where i would not like to go in, shut the mirroring off type my password into xxxx and then reapply mirroring to continue on with my display.

  • I am using an iPad with Apple TV and airplay with a projector in my classroom.  The mirroring cuts out and back on several times during use. Any suggestions on what's causing it and how to fix it?

    I am using My iPad with Apple TV, Airplay and projector in my classroom.  The projector screens blanks out and back on several times during a presentation. It seems like a problem with connection but I'm not sure as it comes back on after a few seconds. Any idea of what is causing this and how it can fixed?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased.

    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...

  • 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.

    If it's an ATV2 or 3, you can use AirPlay. AirPlay automatically becomes available when the two devices are on the same Wi-Fi network.
    HOWEVER! You should be aware of that AirPlay is, in some circumstances, far inferior to VGA / HDMI-cabled solutions. Please see my posts at https://discussions.apple.com/message/18697551?ac_cid=sa123456#18697551 for more info.

    You can't downgrade the iOS.
    Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • HT4428 My 128 Gb iPad cannot do airplay mirroring with Apple TV 3.  It only airplays with screen off (like iPad 1), and it can only do airplay with apps which have the airplay button.  No airplay button when sliding the bottom opened apps to the right.

    My 128 Gb iPad cannot do airplay mirroring with Apple TV 3.  It only airplays with screen off (like iPad 1), and it can only do airplay with apps which have the airplay button.  No airplay button when sliding the bottom opened apps to the right!  Note : This problem persists after HDMI cable has been changed, and Apple TV was reset.  My another iPad 4 64Gb also on the same most updated ISO has no problem.  

    I restarted the iPad, it is okay now!  I think it is because I have been using the smart cover for too long, without shutting down the iPad completely!  It just works fine with the airplay signal appearing again after restarting the iPad.

  • Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?

    Can I use external speakers with the iPad when using Facetime?  How do I do that?

    They have to be either plugged in via headphone jack or the dock port at the bottom. If you can. I've used it on apple tv, but that's it. I don't know if the others work, but I don't see why not. Try plugging in speakers in the headphone jack. You will get an answer :)

  • I already have a wireless BT router but still I need an airplay together with apple TV?

    I would like to buy apple TV. As I already have a wireless BT router Do I still need to purchase an airplay together with apple TV?

    The router does not need to support AirPlay. It doesn't get involved. AirPlay is just a protocol that both end-devices (e.g., the Apple TV and an iPad) have to support. All the router sees is IP packets addressed to one or the other. The router does not get involved in the AirPlay protocol.

  • Can i use airplay if my apple tv is connected to the network by ethernet cable?

    Can I use Airplay  if my Apple tv is connected to the network using an Ethernet cable as apposed to a WiFi connection.

    Thanks. I therefore have a problem as I cannot connect my ipad to the Apple TV. When trying to connect via Airplay my other apple tv appears (that is connected only via WiFi and that connects OK) but the Apple tv connected via the Ethernet does not show. I have looked at all the settings on both apple TV's and the only difference I can see is one is connected via WiFi and the other through Ethernet cable. Any ideas on what I need to check out?
