Video Sound Settings on external speakers via Airport

When I playback my music videos from iTunes, why can't I get any sound through speakers plugged into an Airport base. No problems with music from the Library just effects video or DVD. The 'multiple speaker' flag is still there and I haven't changed the settings. Puzzling - anyone got any ideas ?

There is about a 2000 millisecond delay when playing over remote speakers. Not a problem for music, but put the sound out of sync with the video, in other words speaker's lips move, but the sound comes later.

Cant stream video sound from ITunes to stereo via Airport Express

I'm using a PC with wireless (Centrino 802.11g) with Itunes (Latest release 7.0.0.70) and for some reason the sound from Itunes video will not stream wirelessly to my stereo connected to my AirPort Express.
When the video is embedded in an Itunes playlist of MP3s, the sound will work fine through the AirPort Express with the MP3 tracks, but will toggle over to the PC speakers for the video.
Any ideas gratefully received?

Airtunes actually only support MP3/AAC audio streaming from iTunes. That's too bad for video.
The things is, even with other Airtunes streaming software, the streaming delay is such that the song will be off by a few second from the video. I guess Apple have choose to do not stream video sound until this may be resolve.
Therefore, I'm not aware of any solution to this issue.

Presenting on ipad: will the video sound play through external speakers?

I'm giving a presentation on my iPad, using Keynote. I have always had problems connecting the iPad to the podium in our classrooms (using the connector)--the screen mirrors beautifully, but the sound doesn't get transmitted. There is a speaker jack on the podium that always works with my MacBook, but when I plug it into the iPad2, no sound (except for the iPad's own speakers). Can anyone help? I don't want to have to take my MacBook--but I need sound! Thanks.

see if this links helps

ITunes Settings for Media on External Drive via Airport Extreme...

iTunes Settings for Media on External Drive via Airport Extreme base station versus plugging directly into laptop.
My current configuration is that my iTunes Media (700gb) are all stored in an External Drive that's plugged into my Airport Extreme Base Station. This works great for me having wireless access to my iTunes external drive.
Whenever I need to back up that hard drive with Time Machine, I just plug it directly to my laptop...
But how do I let iTunes (or iTunes library) know that this is the same hard drive where all my media is stored when it's plugged directly into the laptop as opposed to trying to access it from my Airport Extreme network?

No there isnt any files call library in the folder i created I am now in the process of copying them back but I guess I will loose all my playlists and playcounts. I do have a Copy of my drive that i made with carbon copy cloner. So maybe it will be best to boot from there, restore and start again.
Chris it was just the media folder. I was following the instructions on the apple support page. Got to point 14 didn't get the warning but did seen to have a brand new itunes, so emptied the trash as they said expecting everything to be fine but it wasnt.

ITouch 2G playing sound through both external speakers and earphones

iTouch 2G playing sound through both external speakers and earphones when earphones are plugged in..
M using the latest version of itunes and iOS 4.2.1
....Have already tried formatting, resetting and even formatting when my earphones were plugged in...
Please help immediately..M out of warranty..

Have you tried another pair of earphones? It may be that the headphone jack is failing. You can, if you are competent, replace it yourself or get it fixed by a third-part place. See the following:

External Speakers over AirPort

Am I able to configure my sound settings so that I can utilize my external speakers connected through an AirPort as if they were directly hooked up to the computer? Lovely AirTunes is all I can do.
Thanks for any input.
MacBook 2.0ghz Core 2 Duo 2GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.8)

OK, how about the firmware on the Airport Express? You can always update that to the most recent version.
Unless something changed in a user-setting in iTunes such as EQ, or perhaps even the "Sound Enhancer" setting, I can't imagine what else would affect the quality.
Have you listened to your stuff in iTunes with headphones on - the stuff that sounds bad over Airport? Does it still sound awful through headphones or directly-connected speakers?

ATV3 with external speakers via TV

Hi,
I have been using an Apple TV 3 for a fair while now with my TV and have had no issues. I am now sick of the low quality sound that my TV's internal speakers produce so I went and bought a cheap (but surprisngly good) set of 2.1 PC speakers and connected them via RCA cables to the TV.
Normal TV programs are now played through the external speakers but audio from my Apple TV (connected to the TV via HDMI) does not play through the external speakers, only through the crappy internal ones. Any ideas on how to fix this? I had a look through the TV settings (very limited) but nothing seemed to be wrong there, and nothing stood out to me in the ATV settings.
I was under the impression that if I plug external speakers into the TV via RCA any audio that the TV produces should be sent to the external speakers...

Hello
RCA-cables are used for analog signals.
When connecting a device (for example ATV) via HDMI to TV, the sound sent is in digital format. The TV would have to convert this input signal to analog and output it to speakers, i.e it has to have a built in digital to analog converter for the sound output. I don't know how old your TV is, but the most TV sets should have this function.
The reason why the speaker set works with programs from TV is probably because you have connected the TV to an antenna, and the signal is analog.
Did you try to connect another unit with hdmi to TV and see if that works (DVD player)?
Regards

Strange sound coming through external speakers

On my 2010 iMac there is a problem when *no audio* is coming out through the external speakers (connected via the headphone port).
If i play any sound (even change the volume and get the 'blip' sound) and then go back to silence, after 5 - 10 seconds I can hear a strange buzzing/hissing sound.
Even when I'm playing music there is no buzzing/hissing but when I pause the track, 5 - 10 seconds later the sound returns.
Using these speakers through my macbook there is no such problem, only the iMac.
I think this may be related to a recent software update since it is a new problem. Any ideas?
thanks.

Could there be a Ground loop in something connected to the iMac?

Wireless Speakers via Airport Express

I have two sets of powered speakers which I play my music from iTunes via Airport Express units. My issue is after months of excellent sound and no problems, it appears I am now losing connection to the speakers which means the music stops and starts, VERY frustrating....! The internet connection via the Airport Express units is not a problem, just the music.
Has anyone had similar problems and is there an answer...??????

Cannot hear any sound through my external speakers - help!

I'm running 10.6.4 on my imac 27". Can hear sound though the internal speakers, but even when I plug externals in and restart I can't see any option in the sound system preferences to let me hear through the external speakers. It's odd. Can anyone help?

More information will help.
Is this a problem that just started for you, or have you never been able to plug in headphones or external speakers and have them work?
Are you sure you are plugging into the correct jack on the computer? On my slightly older iMac I sometimes reach around to the back and hit the wrong jack.
When I open "Sound" in System Preferences and hit the "Output" tab, I see "Internal Speakers" listed. Then when I plug in my headphones the "Internal Speakers" automatically changes to "Headphones."
Is this what you see on your computer?
Good luck.

(HELP PLEASE) System Sound & Set of External Speakers

Hello,
I have a HP Pavilion All-in-One and in the past we've had no problem with neither the system sound or a set of speakers we've hooked up to it. Now suddenly I can only hear audio is I turn it up to 95 or above to hear it at any volume worth listening too, but turning it up that high used to almost blow you out.
Some changes or differences I "think" I notice are when you click on the volume icon in the sys tray, there is only one "mixer" but if you click on that it shows two things, which I don't think it has described them like this before, but it shows like the picture below.
I don't recall ever seeing the "Applications - System Sounds" before. But we can't get the extra speaker set to work and I remember turning the volume up to 6 if I wanted to hear it without disturbing anyone else in the house.
Anyone have any suggestions? The only thing that I know that was changed lately was we switched to AT&T internet but I believe the external speakers worked fine after the installtion. Any help would be appreciated!!

Sound played on external speakers when there's no ...

I've connected my Nokia Lumia 520 with an audio cable to an external speakerset. The sound is good but when the phone sends no sound for (let's say) 30 seconds, there's a little beep heared on the external speakers. It couldn't be heard on headphones. Could it be that the phone turns the headphone jack off when there's no sound to play or should I worry about it?
sorry 'bout my bad English, I'm from the Netherlands

Hi, cossie102.
I appreciate your feedback regarding your similar problem. I saw the discussions already about that problem before posting mine. However, I felt that this is an entirely different problem. The calendar that is causing the problem is the Birthday calendar that iCal automatically creates. When you enter someone in your address book and put in their birth date, the Birthday calendar automatically updates with an annual entry for them. We don't manually set start and end times, thus ruling out the human error part of creating an end point that chronologically precedes the start point. Of course, this doesn't rule out a possible fault in the automation resulting in a bad/corrupt entry. I still should go back and check to see if I can determine a start to the dots, but my gut instinct tells me that this is something completely different.

Music interrupts while listening to wireless speakers via Airport Express

I live in an apartment building with many wi-fi connections all around me. When I listen to music via iTunes, I am regularly prompted with the following message: An error occurred while connecting to the remote speaker “Home”, that’s the name of my Airport Express attached to my speakers. An unknown error occurred (- 3256).  This message usually appears twice in a row with a 1-3-second interval. For the song to resume I need to click Play. After play resumes, another message may appear that says: Your remote speakers cannot be found on your network. Check Airtunes configuration and network settings or choose another speaker.  Again I have to click on Play for music to resume. This scenario keeps going on every 30-45 seconds. And yet, the light is Green on Airport Express and the network ha a check mark in front of it. What my network name does not have in front of it is a padlock. Today when all this happened, I lost contact with “Home” and could not regain it. So I decided to reset the AE and, in the process, noticed that the WEP key code which is 26 characters was represented by only 5-6 black dots. I replaced the code and got the network back. But still no padlock. Is my connection secure? Will it all happen again? Why no padlock? Sure enough, within 10 minutes the sam problem reappears. What to do?

The trouble you are reporting sounds like WiFi connection probs. Signal quality and strength is just not sufficient to ensure a constant and high enough data transfer. I would recommend to do some test with AP and computer being rather close to each other. Its may a good idea to switch from WEb to WPA encryption.

How do I get a video signal to an external monitor via the mini-display port on my Mac Book Air?

I can't get a video signal out through my mini-display port on my Mac Book Air (version 1). Thus I can't feed BBC iPlayer to an external monitor. There is some connectivity - the MAC wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible and sound is transferred. Is it likely to be a cable connection problem (though the cable works with a Windows operating laptop)?

First, what you said is contradictory. You say "can't get a video signal", then say"the Mac wallpaper is broadcast, the mouse pointer is visible". "No video signal" means an absolutely black,blank screen. It sounds like you have plenty of signal.
I am supposing what you are seeing is actually a blank desktop, which is to be expected if your settings are such that you are extending the desktop, instead of mirroring it.
Within the preference panes is a setting that allows you to change this. Open System Preferences, click Displays, and then click Arrangement. You will see that you are extending the desktop. Change that setting.
