When I Mirror from MacBook Pro to AppleTV box, I want the video and audio to play on BOTH devices.
Currently, I get both audio & video on the appleTV from the MacBook Pro.
But I get no audio on the MacBook Pro, until I stop the mirroring.
Is this normal? Is there a setting I can change? (99% of the results I got when I googled for "why appletv has no sound")
I think you could accomplish that by setting up a multi-output device.
to set up a multi-output device:
Open Audio MIDI Setup: (found in /Applications/Utilities)
hit the '+' button in the bottom left corner and select "Create Multi Output Device"
then in the panel that appears on the right, in the Multi-Output Device tab, select your mac's internal speakers AND your Apple TV. (Apple TV is not on my list because I don't use it)
then when you need to hear both, choose "Multi-Output Device" in your menubar sound options.

Thanks, that did it! (I also had to click the Plus sign under Audio MIDI Setup and choose "Connect Airplay Device" to get the appleTV to appear on the right pane list, so that I could check the "USE"box.)
Nice work!

Screen Mirroring to AppleTV cuts the MacBook Audio (but the Video's Fine)
