Can't cast via Airplay from M1 MacBook Pro

I recently purchased an M1 MacBook Pro. I also have a 2020 Sony OLED TV with built in Airplay. I have never had a problem casting to the TV via my 2015 MacBook Air. I was successful connecting the M1 Pro, but the screen remains black. It also doesn't show that it's optimized for the Sony TV as it does for the Air. As a side note, I have an Amazon Firestick with a 3rd party version of Airplay on it and it works fine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I also recently purchased the M1 MacBook Pro. I have a 2020 Sony with built in Airplay. I also have two other MacBook Pros, a 2014 and 2015, both Intel processors. Those two MacBooks mirror onto the tv, but the M1 MacBook Pro does not. Please figure this out so I can use my newer MacBook to airplay.

Have the same issue. MacBook Pro M1 Big Sur 11.2 trying to connect with a Sony XH9505.

Could connect with the Intelchip varian of MacBook Pro.

Any ideas how to fix this?

Tonight I updated to 11.2.1 which did not fix the black screen I get when using Airplay to my Sony 2020 TV.

Fingers crossed for 11.3.

Airplay still not fixed in Big Sur 11.3 Beta 2.

Sound only with a black screen.

Bug report sent as was previously for Beta 1.

I’m shocked this hasn’t been rectified as of yet.

Great. Means Sony is also working on this. No update released for India till now. Hopefully Sony will release it soon

You may check the firmware on Sony website and update it by USB driver manually.

I just did and airplay works on my M1 MacBook Pro but it is very laggy...

Mine also started working after my 2020 Sony Bravia updated its software.

Still waiting for update here in NZ (Asia Pacific version). What is the release number for the latest firmware ?

My M1 MacBook Air has the same issue with my Sony Bravia X900H TV -- the TV screen is black when connected to AirPlay. My TV's firmware is completely up-to-date, as is my MacBook. Very frustrating.

You’re probably not up to date. I would check Sony’s website, a firmware update was just released.

Mar 5, 2021 11:25 AM in response to mourip

Can confirm that it works now after the latest software update on my Sony Bravia 2019 AG9
