Airplay when iPad sleeps?

I am having the same problem on iPad 2 and iPhone 4, running iOS 5.

Did anyone figure out how to fix it?

I'm having the same issue, AirPlay stops when my iPad 2 auto-locks. The simple work-around was to change the auto-lock settings. Interestingly enough, I didn't have this problem until I upgraded to iOS 5.

Same problem here, both on my iPad 2 and iPhone 4, after having installed iOS 5. I hope Apple comes with a fix. Changing the device auto-lock settings to 'never' really drains the battery. I wonder though if everybody with iOS5 installed have this problem now...

Same problem here, on iPhone 4. Worked fine before iOS5.

ditto same here iPad 1 ios5.1 did not fix anyone...

Have not had any issues since upgrade. I put my device to sleep as soon as it starts playing on ATV.

Having the same problem. Everything works great until auto lock.

i am having same problem to, very strange, only started today... airplay stops when ipad goes into autolock of if i close the cover...

noticed several different threads about this problem, all the posts stop around dec. 10 11, did I miss the solution somewhere in another post?

No, not solved for me. Waiting to see if iOS 5.1 is going to solve this matter. But please report the problem at apple.com/feedback.
