Airplay from iPhone to Airport Express - no sound?

I have the exact same problem with my iPhone 4 apparently streaming, but no sound comes out of the speakers. Works fine with Airplay from iTunes on my Mac though.

Same problem here. Video streams perfectly from my iPhone 3GS to my Apple TV 2. Music looks like as it was streaming, but no sound on the Airport Express or the new Apple TV 2. Sometimes there are bits and peaces - but thats one or two seconds in a minute. On the Apple TV 2, the cover and title information don't update correctly as well...

If it helps there is a matching update for Apple TV(little one) which makes it work perfectly
Possibly same for Airport Express ???

My Airport Express has the latest firmware.

Hi, I had the exact same problem, Airplay in either iPod or Videos show my Airport Express as available but no sound. I have 2 Airport Expresses, an 'n' version as my base station and an old one that I can stream to from iTunes on the G5 which works fine. My base station was running firmware 7:3:2 and showed an update was available to 7:4:1. Updated and now Airplay all works, yay! Hope that helps.

Same here:

- iPhone 4 with iOS4.2;
- Airport Express with latest firmware;
- Airplay on iTunes 10.1 with Macbook Pro works fine on my home stereo equipment;
- installation of iOS4.2 went fine;
- rebooted already both iPhone and Airport Express;
- Apple support told me to restore original settings on my iPhone, which I didn´t do but very much doubt would help anyway (the lady working for Apple Support didn't even know what "Airplay" was).

I think we are facing a bug and must wait for an Airport Express (or even iOS4.2) software update.

Must be a European thing, my air port express works fine with all my devices.

I have an airport extreme base station and two airport express routers. I have updated my iphone and ipad and have only one problem.

The airport express router that is version 6.3 does not play sound using airplay. The other, "n" Airport Express plays perfectly.

I have verified this using both the iPad and iPhone 4. Both show they are playing, but no sound comes through Express 6.3.

Any thoughts?

I'm having the same problem. I have an iPhone 4 and an Airport Express. AirPlay seems to be active and I even heard a couple of 1 or 2 second clips of the song I was trying to play at times, but then it cut out.

I thought maybe when iTunes was open it was connected to it, but I closed iTunes and same problem.

This has to be some kind of bug, especially since some of you atleast seem to get choppy bits of sound at times (which I don't even). I have a Time Capsule as my basestation and my Airport Express connected to this - do any of you guys have a similar setup that might be the cause?

Exactly the same,with the airport express/iphone4, it seems like the wifi connection is fine, i see the little icon, it's playing but no sound....
Works from my macbook thow...

I am fairly certain that the issue is the airport express version 6.3 -- it is an older model.

I also have the newer version 7.x.x which works perfectly while the 6.3 plays nothing, not even a choppy second or two (at least for me).

I have to say that the "n" version works just as advertised, which makes my daughter very happy as she can now play Pandora, YouTUBE and her music directly from her iPad to our central stereo system.

I am sure that a firmware update will be necessary to fix the 6.3 version.

Don't think so, my airport express is an 'n' version (7.4.2), the problem seems to come from the iphone 4, have you tried with the iphone 4 also or only the ipad?
