Default AirPlay Setting in iTunes (mine is not iTunes)

Whenever I play a movie in iTunes on my MacPro it sends the audio to my 2010 AppleTV which abruptly interrupts whatever is playing on the ATV. Is there a way to make the "Computer" on which iTunes is running the default audio device?

2.66 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon "Nehalem" MacPro, Mac OS X (10.6.5), iTunes 10.1 AppleTV iOS 4.1

This seems like the proper way to change the default. I had changed the setting in only the "Single" setting tab and not the "Multiple" tab. Having to resort to the other fixes requiring a disconnect completely from the Apple TV seems very hokey and not Apple-like. Of course, Apple's Podcast iOS isn't Apple-like either - but that's another rant.

This is what worked for me :

1-Turn wifi off or disconnect internet connection

2-play a video on itunes and when getting the error message ... select play on computer

3-Play a few videos

4-reconnect your internet or wifi


This tip still works.
