I have a 2nd gen Apple TV, and Late 2011 Macbook Pro. Airplay works fine, but when I watch a video or play music the audio comes out of my laptop, not my TV. I checked the audio settings and Airplay is listed as an output device, but you can't click on it. You click and nothing happens.
Is anyone else seeing this issue?
Anyone know a solution?
MacBook Pro (13-inch Late 2011), OS X Mountain Lion
I have a 2nd gen Apple TV, and Early 2011 Macbook Pro with the same problem.
same problem here too. my wife has a late 2011 Macbook air and it works flawlesly for her, but my mid 2011 13" macbook pro only plays video through airplay, audio comes out of the macbook.
I have a 3rd gen apple tv. This is very frustrating.
Just works they said??? My rear end.
apple tv 3rd gen, bought a month ago, in 2012; macbook pro, bought june 2012... same prob, video is streaming ok, no sound on tv though, tried all settings. video+sound works fine when streaming likes of online tv, but soon as trying to mirror the vlc, get this problem. many thanks to someone can fix this or knows yhe way around it.
I found that if my AirPort Extreme is connected at 5GHz it does not work. When I switch to 2.5 it started working but somewhat intermittently.
where do you switch it, mate?
Click on the AirPort status icon in the menu bar For available networks.
Mine shows AirPort Extreme and AirPort Extreme 5GHz.
You may not have the 5GHz option it needs to be setup in AirPort Utility.
Go to Utilities, AirPort Utility, Click on the Airport Extreme then edit.
Click on the Wireless tab then Wireless Options.
If 5GHz is not checked then you do not have 5GHz enabled.
I would not suggest enabling it if is is not because using the 5GHz Network is when my sound did not work.
nice one, thanks!!! will try it in a minute, let u know the results!
I fixed it. My apple TV was connected to my 5GHZ network and my Macbook was on 2.4. Once I switched them both to the same network it worked for me.
how do you fix it?? i am not using an apple airport basestation or express im using a cox communications router/modem.
Anyone have any ideas here? Can i change my macbook pro broadcast to 5ghz to match the apple tv?
setting my airport extreme to 5ghz fixed it for me
Please correct me if Im wrong, is Airport extreme same as Apple TV, but in America? Im trying to find where to change this GHz thing, but fail to do so.. when I open AirPort utility, there's nothing i can change there.. I dont have any Airport base station... where do i change that? Im on MacBook Pro 2012, ATV 3rd gen. Thank u guys!
Airport Extreme is Apple's router. It can be set up for 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz or both. If it is set up for both and the Mac grabs a different band then the AppleTV it appears then the sound does not work for Airplay. If you have a 3rd party router you will need to find out how it is setup.
done.. I mistook it for ATV, but now with your help, im clear. done a tweak to my router (Virgin media, UK) + Restart mac - made it! Many thanks!
What did you change? I have a third party router as well, and I am having the same problem (showing video, but playing audio through macbook).
I went to router settings, done so by entering 192.168.0.1 in safari, then user name and password. You should find yours at the back of your router(address might b different) then went into SuperHub settings, in wifi tab mine was set to 5GHz, changed it to 2.4, saved changes, restarted osx, and it made a trick. But sometimes after i turned air mirroring off, sound stays. You have to quit vlc completely.
Also after qutting airplay, image on mac becomes not that great, colors are not sharp, dont know why yet..to get it back to normal i have to restart mac. I think apple need to look into it. Hopefully it will help
Mountain Lion - Airplay, no audio
