Airplay to iTunes

Is it possible for me to Airplay (sound) from my Apple TV to the iTunes App on my Windows PC?

I have noticed that I can play music from iTunes to Apple TV through Airplay, but I would like to do vice-versa. I want to watch my movies on Apple TV and have the sound play through iTunes (since my PC is the one directly connected to my wired speakers).

Windows, Windows 10

It doesn’t work that way for two reasons:

You must use AirPlay to an AirPlay-receiving-device. Computers are not AirPlay-receiving-devices.

To AirPlay video+audio, both streams will be send to that same AirPlay receiving device. It can’t be split.


AirPlay system requirements - Apple Support


You may be able to set a different audio output (compatible bluetooth or Wi-Fi speakers) for videos that are played from the Apple TV (i.e. not AirPlayed videos).
