Video Sound through Express?

I tried searching this forum, but couldn't find any answers. I am using iTunes connected via Airport Express to my home stereo. It plays music fine, but why doesn't it also stream sound for videos through Airport Express? Is there any way to do this? Video sound only comes through my PowerBook speakers.
Thanks for any help.

No I haven't tried that, but will. I did see in Apple's Knowledge base that for some unexplained reason movie audio does not play through iTunes to Express. I did try Airfoil, but the syncing is way off. If anyone knows how to fix that it would seem to be a good solution.

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.

Sound through hdmi to my tv works but not when watching video online like 4OD

the sound through hdmi to my tv works with music and videos I have downloaded, but not when watching video online like 4OD and youtube.
How can I get it to work?

Ok so I happened to figure it out while on the phone to apple support. Even though the guy was very nice, I think I knew more than him! He was explaining very basic resolution principles I played about. I had the second option in displays resolution. All I did was unplug the HDMI cable, click on 'best for display' then plugged the HDMI in and my resolution on the normal monitor changed to the normal blue, then went black momentarily and then changed to a strange resolution but another window appeared that said SONY BRAVIA HDMI at the top! Hey presto! Don't know why it didn't do it yesterday - I probably left the HDMI cable in or something! Oh well. Problem solved!

My Iphone 4s says connected to TV and will not let me watch any videos on Safari, and only plays sound through the device. I have not messed with the settings, and have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It's update is IOS 6.1.3

I have an Iphone 4S and It won't let me watch videos on my safari, which I do everyday. It says that I am connectef to a tv, yet I have not connected it to a tv during the entire time i've owned this product. I have not connected it to anything bluetooth either. It plays the sound through the device, but it will not play the video at all. the update is IOS 6.1.3

Try disabling the computer's antivirus and firewall.
- Next try the manual install method of:
iDevice Troubleshooting 101 :: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch
Place the iPod in recovery mode after the firmware download is complete and then restore using the instructions in the article. Sometimes recovery mode timeouts and returns to disabled before the firmware download is complete.
- Then try on another computer

My ipod video wont play sound through the headphone jack or the bottom connector

Hello everyone. I have an iPod Video 60GB (supports video output through the headphone jack). Which I believe was the last one before the iPod "classic".
Anyways awhile back it stopped outputting sound through the headphone jack, I assumed I had damaged the jack itself as commonly happens but it stopped outputting sound through the dock connector to my ipod speaker dock and my cars ipod connector. The clicker wont make any noise either.
When I tried to search for an answer to this problem years ago I couldnt find anything and knowing it would be out of warrenty I put it aside and forgot about it. Having searched again recently it seems as if this could be the audio processor or some component on the board coming loose? Has anyone outlined this problem with pictures and steps to repair it?
I *may* take it in and pay the $30 but I would much prefer to fix it myself. Thank you for any help with this.

Update: The model # is MA147LL. Not sure why my edit didnt take effect.

Video sound to TV won't run through headphones

Hi,
I have my stereo and TV hooked up to a MacMini (the 2009 slim metal one with the optical drive). I have a headphone splitter attched to the headphones jack going to the TV and the stereo. The Mini is hooked up to the TV with a mini DP connector to a DVI-to-HDMI cable (but this same thing happens with a regular DVI cable). With my old 2,1 Mini that was fine since everything ran through the headphones.
Now I want to do the same thing but iTunes I can't get the video to run through the headphones. The only way I get sound to the TV is to run it through the HDMI output (even when using the mini DP). But then I have to manually change the sound output.
Is it possible to either:
1. Have iTunes run out the headphones jack and everything else run out the HDMI? or
2. Have everything run out the headphones output?

Info to add:
When any digital video is plugged into the Mini, the video sound only works when it's set to HDMI.
To get sound to my stereo I have to switch it to headphones. Even though I have a connector going from the headphone jack to the DVI audio input on my TV, there's no sound in headphone mode.
I tried an external USB sound card and had the same problem. Just instead of headphones it was the USB soundcard.
Maybe it's my TV...

That being said, it might be possible to on iPAD through itunes (music).

Videos app only plays sound through Airplay

Hi,
When I airplay a video using the 'Videos' app on my iPhone 4S or my iPad Mini I only get sound through my Apple TV. I understand that I can use Mirroring to see the video as well, but other apps show audio and visual without having to mirror. I tested video stored in the 'Photos' app and a trailer for a movie in the iTunes app. Both of these worked. Does the 'Videos' app not show visuals without mirroring or can I change something?

I tested the 'Videos' app with an iPhone 4 today and audio and visuals worked with my Apple TV using Airplay. Has this feature been removed for more recent products which support Mirroring?

Airport Express only outputs sounds through left channel

Recently purchased a new airport express.
Sound is only audible through the left channel. Sound through the right channel is barely audible even at max volume (speakers and iTunes).
Speakers are fine (they work fine through the stereo, iPod earphones also only work through left channel).
If I turn sound enhance on and up to high, I can finally hear through the right channel, but only at about 40-50% of the left.
Is this a software issue, or bad hardware?
I've hard reset the airport express multiple times. Same issue whether wirelessly or connected via ethernet. This is running from iTunes 7 for Windows using a Linksys router.

Doesn't sound promising for the AX. Since it was
recently purchased, do you have the option to visit
your local Apple Store to either return it for
replacement or, at least, have them verify the
problem?
The reason why I thought it might be software related was due to this effect of changing the sound enhancer, i.e by turning the sound enhancer on and setting it to high there was a considerable increase in sound output. If there was a loose connection somewhere I don't think I'd expect this behavior. It's almost as if the balance has been set all the way to the right.
Given that no-one seems to have seen this problem before (other than a unresolved single old post on the Airport Express board), it does seem that you're right and the AX needs replacing.

Playing QuickTime sound through AirPort Speakers?

Ive just set up my new speakers with AirPort Express, and it works great with AirTunes. However, is there a way to send all computer sound through the speakers, EG, sound from QuickTime and normal computer noises like new mail alerts?
Im sure i posted this before and there was a solution, but the thread is gone.

i'm using the ap express as a streaming audio device. to my dismay...while viewing a music video and Commander In Chief, the audio did NOT stream to my stereo.
according to the support apple gives, APE doesn't support streaming audio other than that which is going through AirTunes. in other words...no quicktime, etc.
i tried AirFoil, and found it profoundly disapppointing. the audio lag was far too great to ignore. in my estimation, it's unusable.
all of this being said, i'm at a loss. i want to watch the movies i've downloaded from the music store and those which i have taken with my own camera on my computer and have the audio stream to my stereo. it seems intuitive that if it's playing through iTunes, that the quicktime video would stream also...but that's not the case.
if anyone has any further input, i would greatly appreciate it....and i'll post more if i learn anymore.

Connecting MacBook to Sony Bravia KDL-40XBR9 - No sound through TV

I recently bought a Sony Bravia KDL-40XBR9. I have it hooked up to my MacBook using an HDMI to DVI connection. But, I'm not getting sound through the TV. So, I bought a 3.5mm to RCA (one red, one white connection) cable. I've plugged the red and white connections into all of the red/white ports on the back of the tv but I'm still not getting sound out of the tv.
Can someone please help me with this setup?
Thanks!!

Does your Bravia also have red and white input jacks on the side of the TV (my Bravia does, on the left). On my Bravia, those are the only audio inputs that are active for all inputs, and they are what I use when I am playing my MB through HDMI (which, as you found, only transmits video).

5g nano no longer plays sound through (any) dock!?

I recently got a brand new dock, and it is, without a doubt compatible, with the 5G nano.
It played out loud through the dock with no problems for a few weeks, but it suddenly stopped transferring the sound through to the dock the other day, and instead, now, it just plays through the external speaker on the actual iPod. I tried it through my friend's dock too, and the same thing happened.
This is all to do with the internal connection, because when it first happened, I found that if i wiggled it around in the dock and held it at a certain angle, it played. However, that only lasted a few minutes and then it just stopped playing through the dock altogether.
It's strange because it connects to the computer fine through the exact same slot, and I can transfer music fine.
Saying that...on the day ot happened, the song I had just transferred from the comp onto the iPod magically disappeared from the device. That was weird. So I had to put it on again. And it definately went on the first time; I saw it in the playlist.
Anyway, all I can think of is that I have 'dislodged' something inside the iPod when connecting it into to the dock, or i've 'pushed something out of place internally' maybe...because I have not been using the dock adaptor (the iPod doesn't fit inside the adaptor because it has a plastic case over it). So maybe i've pushed it too far down into the dock slot or something?
Can anyone tell me if they've had this problem too?
Or if so, how much would this kind of thing cost to get repaired? Or have I mucked it up so bad I may as well give up now and get a new one (unless I never want to use a dock again)?

I just purchased my 30gb video iPod, and am running into almost the exact same situation. The only difference is that I don't have to reset it. It just won't play a movie at all. It starts the little "timer" thing that clicks around, but then goes back out of the movie. I know the movie is a good download, because I can watch it from start to finish within iTunes.
Anyone got any ideas? I really don't want to stay on hold for 1-2 hours waiting on a person to talk to with tech support!

IPad Air to projector cord choice-sound airport Express?

Ok so I'm looking to use my ipad to play movies in the back yard for the kiddos.
The projector I am going to order has VGA and HDMI ports.
I am looking to project the movie to the screen/projector
through one of these ports and then stream the sound through my airport express which connects to the backyard speakers I have using airplay.
Does it matter which cord I use to connect to projector? I was wondering since hdmi has sound as well but I want to use the airport express for this.
Does anyone have advice on wether this is the best setup? I want to make sure it will all work before investing the money. THX

duggifresh,
I am trying to use the same setup using the VGA connection from my iPad to the projector, but the image freezed when I engage the sound through my Airport Express. Did you ever get this to work? If so, how? Thanks!!

Can't get sound through my big speakers

Hello all,
I just hooked up my new Apple TV and all works fine BUT can't get any sound through my big floor speakers, only through the tinny TV speaker (Samsung 46" LED).
The big speakers are powered by an older Onkyo FM AM receiver with no optical digital audio port. I currently enjoy sound from these speakers when watching my Comcast cable stations or my DVD player, choosing respectfully between video 1 and video 2 ports on the receiver.
Question: Do I need a new receiver with an optical digital audio port, to be then connected to the Apple TV via this cable ?
My Comcast cable box has such a port. What would happen if I connected an optical digital audio cable from the Comcast box to my Apple TV ? Would the sound find its way into my big speakers while watching Netflix ? That's all I want.......
I don't have this darn cable now to try this.
Thanks guys.

Hmmm....would that limitation be noticeable by average listeners ? I don't even know what 5.1 audio is.
5.1 is surround audio with L/R front, Center (mostly for speech), and L/R rear channels. You'd need 3 extra speakers for the additional channels.
The .1 refers to a subwoofer but if your main speakers produce good low frequency as it is it may not be needed as low frequencies tend to deliver less spatial information than mid/highs. If you wanted one it'd be an extra speaker.
You would notice the difference by virtue of having sounds spread around you rather than simple L/R on movies that support it (Dolby Digital 5.1). As your amp doesn't support this currently, you're not ging to miss anything going the stereo audio route for now.
I've had a 5.1 system (without the .1) for donkey's years, and yes it's fun/novel, but leads to more clutter in the room with leads extra speakers etc. In fact I've relocated my rear speakers some time ago and am just sticking with stereo for now.
Certainly worth looking into, but 5.1 is old hat anyway and more modern surround formats will utilise even more speakers for surround effects but AppleTV currently does not support these.
I'm running a pair of old tower Polk Audio speakers of my amp that vibrate the windows pretty good.
No reason you couldn't use these in a 5.1 or 5.0 system as main L/R speakers but you'd need new center and rear L/R speakers, cabling and amp +/- subwoofer.
Onkyo would still be a good bet for a quality reasonably priced amp though you'd probably find a myriad of options, possibly cheaper than your original Onkyo.
