iOS 5 Airplay bug discovered

I've been having a vexing problem whereby if I send sound via AirPlay to one of my Airport Expresses the "Ringer and Alert Volume" always resets to 4. This seems to be an issue with older generation Airport Expresses. I was not able to try it with a new Airport Express, but tried it with the latest Apple TV and AirPlay worked fine and did not reset my "Ringer and Alert Volume". Strange bug, but at least I know it has to do with my old Airport Expresses (802.11b/g).

So, you would have to say that this is a bug with "older Airport Express" and not with the current iOS AirPlay or current Apple TV, right? Did you update the firmware in your "older" Aiport Express?

It is a bug with current iOS AirPlay and older Airport Expresses. The firmware on my older AE's is the latest and greatest (6.3). Apple has stopped issuing new firmware updates for these AE's.
