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?

IPAD to Apple TV OS 4.2 - Netflix app only plays sound?

Using an Ipad with OS 4.2 and Apple TV 2 OS 4.2.(latest updates as at 11/23/2010)
Using the Netflix Application when I move it from IPAD to TV it ONLY plays sound on the TV. In contrast movies or videos from the itunes library play correctly

I am assuming you photos are loaded into your ipad?? If so start by selecting the photo app & the album you wish to play. Select "slideshow" on the ipad, once it is started, tap the top right hand corner of the ipad and you will see the airplay symbol (like an envelope), tap it and select airplay & your photo's will display on the TV
(Make sure the TV and the apple airpaly device are switched on)

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

Suddenly Podcast app only produces sound through speaker, not headphones

I have not updated to iOS 8 on my iPhone 4S because I heard there were issues, and I've already ordered (but haven't yet received) my new iPhone 6. I don't know if there was a Podcast update that downloaded automatically separately, but suddenly last night, I couldn't hear any sound from the Podcast app through my headphones. I thought it might be a problem with the headphones, because when I removed them, the file played fine through the 4S's speaker, and when I attached it to a clock radio later last night, it played fine through that too.
This morning, however, I tried listening to songs via Spotify with the headphones, and they worked just fine. But the Podcast app still didn't produce any sound. OR, rather, when I turned the volume to max, you could hear something, but not loud enough to actually make out the voices. I then tried playing an album in my Music app, and it worked fine. I tried restarting the iPhone. I tried deleting and reinstalling the Podcast app. I tried a hard reset of the iPhone. The only result from all of that was that now something's wrong with the Music app too, and while the music track comes through, the vocal track is very quiet, almost inaudible.
Anyone have any idea what's going on, how/why this is happening and most importantly, what to do about it?
Help!

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting the phone, but it can cure some glitches.
If this does not work, try to set it up as new device without using the latest backup, to rule out a software issue.
If still no sound, you might have a hardware problem, and the phone needs to be serviced.

Can't get Google TV apps to play sound through amp rather than TV

I can't get Google TV apps like Netflix or Pandora radio to play through our amp speakers. When we select "amplifier speakers" in the menu, we get no sound. We've checked the IR blaster and it is controlling the amp.
We just set up our Sony Google TV and are running it through our Sony amp with HDMI cables. We discovered that we need an IR cable box for our Time Warner Service, so we still need to do that. But I think this problem is unrelated.

check to make sure your not inputting digital audio into an analogue input or vice versa. that's what it sounds like to me....

Some apps won't play sound through iPad2 speakers

I've noticed since updating to iOS 5 and 5.0.1, I've got more apps that won't play sound through ipad2 speakers, but will play sound through earphones though. Using the same app on the iphone plays sound through the iphone speakers as normal.
It seems to be picky with which apps it does this to as Sky News/BBCiplayer/YouTube/Video/ IMDb all play sound through ipad speakers. Apps like FilmOn plus/ FreeAppMagic/ Falling Gems/ Bejeweled2/ FNS Shift2 will only play sound through earphones. These Apps updating to the new iOS doesn't fix the sound issue either.
I can use an app that plays sound through iPad speakers, then use an app that doesn't play sound through the speakers, then use another app that does play sound through speakers, so the earphone connection actuator doesn't look like the problem to me. Maybe some sound drivers may have been lost or deleted with new iOS updates over wifi...?
Any help would be appreciated.

See if perhaps this is the reason why some apps aren't playing sound.
If you lose sounds for keyboard clicks, games or other apps, email notifications and other notifications, system sounds may have been muted.
System sounds can be muted and controlled two different ways. The screen lock rotation can be controlled in the same manner as well.
Settings>General>Use Side Switch to: Mute System sounds. If this option is selected, the switch on the side of the iPad above the volume rocker will mute system sounds.
If you choose Lock Screen Rotation, then the switch locks the screen. If the screen is locked, you will see a lock icon in the upper right corner next to the battery indicator gauge.
If you have the side switch set to lock screen rotation then the system sound control is in the task bar. Double tap the home button and in the task bar at the bottom, swipe all the way to the right. The speaker icon is all the way to the left. Tap on it and system sounds will return.
If you have the side switch set to mute system sounds, then the screen lock rotation can be accessed via the task bar in the same manner as described above.
This support article from Apple explains how the side switch works.

Airplay only playing sound

I have an iPhone 4 and just got the new iPhone 5 today and on both devices, airplay is only playing sound when I try to mirror a youtube vidio from my iphones to my appleTV. When I set the iphone to mirror to my appletv, i get the message "this device can only play sound over airplay."
Any thoughts as to why?? Don't get it...
Other info:
Checked all my router settings..set on 2.4 GHz, auto channel

What an obnoxious reply. It sounds like you are completely confused by what I was suggesting, so let me try again ...
I had suggested using the Remote app on your iOS device -- not the slim remote control that came with your ATV. Using the Remote app on your iOS device is much easier than the ATV remote control, and using the iOS app is no harder (or slower) than navigating YouTube on your iOS device.
If you don't know what the Remote app is, then you're you're not only missing out on a great way to control your ATV, you're also showing your ignorance (or is it arrogance?)

Audio out jack only plays sound in the right speaker.

Whenever I plug anything (speakers, earphones, etc.) into the Audio Output jack, it only plays sound through the right speaker/earphone. The left speaker/earphone hardly has any sound at all.
How should I go about fixing this problem?
It ***** and it's annoying. At first, I thought it was just my earphones but they work perfectly fine with my iPod and other devices.

HI Chris,
my daughter has the ipod touch 4th generation and it started only having sound come out of the right speakers in both of my vehicles. I read also it could be a broken socket causing it. Do you know about this? How does one break a socket and how would I repair that? The person on y*hoo answers said to either send it to apple refurbished unit or replace it. Replace it? Really? It's a 64 GB ipod touch that I won at work with reward points which is the only reason I could afford it. Looking for better solution like your's above but I'm worried I will have to send it in. I was looking on my iphone 4 and noticed the volume balance was under Settings>General>Accessibility so I guess it's different on an ipod touch?

Can't play sounds through speakers but only through earphones

I got my new iPad2 yesterday and for a while I was able to play sounds through the speakers. Today speaker did not work anymore and I suspect it is related to the upgrade to the new iOS 4.3.3 that I did just before putting it to sleep. Can anybody help?

Have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the iPod and Videos apps, and headphones, still get sound. Depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (mute or rotation lock), then you can mute notifications by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad, or via the taskbar : double-click the home button; slide from the left; and its the icon; press home again to exit the taskbar. The function that isn't on the side switch is set via the taskbar instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085

Can I play sound through IPad but watch the video through TV ?

I want to play sound through IPad but watch the video through TV using Apple TV
Is that possible ?

On my mac through itunes, I am able to control Apple TV sound through a master and two sub master volumes.
One being my Apple TV volume (HDTV) , and the other being my mac (internal speakers).
That being said, it might be possible to on iPAD through itunes (music).

Since I have updated my iOS on my ipad2, when I tryto play a video, I only get sound, no motion from the video.

On my ipad2, when I try to play a video, I only get sound and no motion from the video, since I update to the latest iOS.

I am pretty sure that will not work. Does your TV have HDMI? You will need this:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MD826ZM/A/lightning-digital-av-adapter?fnode=4 5&fs=m.iphoneCompatibility%3Diphone_5
The adapter your purchased has this note :
This adapter lets you connect devices with a Lightning connector to many of your 30-pin accessories.* Supports analog audio output, USB audio, as well as syncing and charging. Video output not supported.

no changes made to the system before the issue occurred. new drivers were installed for my audio settings after the problem occurred but nothing worked.

Do the Music and Videos app still play through the iPad's speakers ? If so then have you got notifications muted ? Only notifications (including games) get muted, so the Music and Videos apps and headphones, still get sound.

HT201401 My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing.

My iphone 4 wont play sound through the internal speaker. Will play if I hook up headphones. I have reset it, restored it, and it does the same thing. I can still hear when i make calls too. The the output button only says dock connector or apple tv.

If the phone has ever gotten wet it may be damaged. It may also have dirt or a bent pin in the dock connector or the earphone jack. Try cleaning the dock connector and inspecting it with a magnifying glass. Try inserting and removing the earphone plug several times. If you have restored it and that did not fix the problem damage is the most likely cause.
