Airport Express losing connection

Same issue here. No solution whatsoever. Only trick is a complete reboot of AE which is starting to annoy me.
Thought the AE was mechanically broken somehow but that wouldn't explain that the issue is temporary.
My issues are almost the same as DVX100Shooter's. I am working from an iMac hardwired to my Time Capsule serving as my wireless base station, and AirPort Expresses serving as AirPlay speakers. I also have a B&W Zeppelin Air, and an AppleTV connected to speakers. After I reboot my computer, iTunes seems to connect fine with all my AirPlay devices. After my computer wakes from sleep, however, it looses the connection to my AirPort Expresses alone. The B&W and the AppleTV can still connect. I don't get an error message, and when I try to reconnect through iTunes, the message "Connecting to '<speaker name>'..." pops up with a progress bar that never moves, and then disappears without connecting. I don't even receive an error message.
Restarting iTunes doesn't cure the problem. Unplugging and plugging the AirPort Express back in doesn't cure the problem. Resetting the AirPort Expresses doesn't work. I have the latest firmware installed on the Time Capsule and AirPort Expresses. The only thing that seems to work most most times (but not always), is to reboot the computer.
I'm at a loss. Has anyone solved this yet?
I have the exact same problem. Whenever my iMac goes to sleep, I lose connectivity to AirPort Express connected to Bose sound dock. The only way to get it back is to reboot the iMac. All software / firmware is up to date. VERY ANNOYING.
I hope they get this fixed.
Same problem here. My wired AEXP loses connection to my AE when my computer goes to sleep. The only way to reconnect is to reboot the computer. I hope Apple is aware of the problem we all seem to have and is fixing it. In the interim, I switching the power saver to never put the computer to sleep (it's a mini).
I too have this problem. In order to get it to work again I have to do a restart.
Hi
I have two airport express and three b&w speakers. The fix is to use address reservation, fixed all my airplay problems no more DHCP!
