AirPlay won't connect from iTunes to Remote Speakers
I have an Airport Express with remote speakers attached through the audio out port, an Airport Extreme, a MacBook Pro, and an iPhone. For some reason relatively recently, I seem to be unable to connect to the AirPlay speakers attached to my AirPort Express through iTunes. I simply get a 'Connecting to ___" with a running status bar, and it hangs. I can connect fine with my iPhone, it is just iTunes on my Macbook Pro that is the issue.
Thus far I have....
- Restarted iTunes, my MacBook Pro, my Airport Express, and my AirPort Extreme.
- Disabled and re-enabled Airplay on the express, changed the speaker's name
- Ensured IPv6 is disabled on both Airport devices (As suggested in other discussions on this forum.
- Downgraded my express from 7.6 to 7.5.2 and back up again.
- Changed the express from joining a wireless network to extending a wireless network
- Ensured my iPhone is not already connected to the AirPlay speakers, including restarting my iPhone.
- Spent hours looking online for a solution
- Pulled my hair out
Any suggestions? I really only use the express for AirPlay since I picked up a printer with built-in wireless, and not having that is quite frustrating. Any help is appreciated!
