No Audio Output from my Apple TV 3
I am using my Apple TV 3 to watch a movie.
I have the projector for Video Output, but the projector has no sound.
Is there any workaround? Or am I stuck with just video output?

Correct. My projector does not have the ability to output audio.
All I am able to do is play it off of my 2018 MacBook Pro, using a USB C adapter to HDMI. Sound comes out of the MacBook Pro.
The Projector is used as a second screen, I guess you’d say. I’m dragging the window over to it, maximizing it, and getting all of that output that way.
Typing out this reply, I just thought of something. What about using a little Bluetooth speaker: That would work as it’s own little device. I don’t have such a speaker, but that should fix it, being a little projector and a little speaker.

For Note:
Go Here: 10.14.5 Update --- Connected Devices are Getting Hot
The projector gets hot with that 10.14.5 update, as do all over connected devices. So, I downgraded it to 10.14.4, using the Time Machine Backup I created prior to the update.
I don’t have a clue as to what the reason for all that heat would be.
The speaker is Bluetooth; so, being that it is not hardwired, then heat should be of no issue.
The 3rd gen only supports Bluetooth keyboards. You would need a 4th gen or 4K in order to connect the speaker.
If you're saying that the projector doesn't have the capability to output audio then you would need to connect the Apple TV to another audio source using optical
Good to know. I plan to upgrade my Apple TV 3 to the 4th Version, then.
Thank for the help vazandrew.
