I successfully mirror my iMac to my Apple TV, but I don't get sound to the Apple TV. I Opt+click the volume icon on the menu bar, but Apple TV is not an option under output. When I go to Sound preferences, my Apple TV shows up as an output option, but with the Type of "AirPlay".
Does mirroring provide sound to the Apple TV, or is that only an option through AirPlay?
iMac, OS X Mountain Lion
Congrats Apple on a useless feature. There's a few workarounds for VLC but if sound isn't streaming from a browser you can't do anything. Changing the audio output in System Preferences just kicks you out of AirPlay.
Back to plugging a cable in or using Roku
Oh and if you open terminal and run
sudo killall coreaudiod
you'll be able to change your System's audio output to Airplay finally. Wow - feels like running 1970s Unix!
Well.
Now after some time using of Air Mirroring INTERNET RADIO turns itself! After it I have error 32 for no reason.
*******, I'm really fed up with your stupid products.
If I purchase something I want it to work. And if I pruchase your products I expect that it will work properly.
You are not some lousy Taiwanese company.
I do not want to restart ATV or go to terminal and make corrections there.
I just want simple expreince *******!
Get some solution to this problem soon!
Just desparate.
What should be solution for error 32?
AVS Media Player hands down the best.
Plays all video files on it, plus the built in wifi transfer is great to have if you are traveling and don't have access to your iTunes PC.
SOLUTION:
After attempting many of the suggested solutions, I found one that worked. I was unable to select AppleTV as audio output- it would always automatically resort back to 'internal speakers'. All I had to do was restart my Time Capsule/Router. It would finally allow me to select 'AppleTV' as audio output.
Enjoy.
This was all that was required.
For me, the issue seems to have been caused by Boom, a 3rd party app. With that uninstalled, it now works perfectly.
Fixed for me, as suggested by Mayakovskiy, I restarted my new iMac, and all fine. This was the first time I had used it with Apple TV, so maye it needed a fresh start.
I have this problem too and found a simple workaround. Often (randomly) I can not AirPlay any audio from my MacBook Pro (2012 retina 15").
To fix: I click the wi-fi icon and "Turn Wi-Fi Off", wait 10 seconds, then "Turn Wi-Fi On". It's annoying but it seems to fix the problem 95% of the time. When it doesn't I reboot.
For my Macbook Pro Retina 15", I need to click on the Mirror Icon and choose "Match Desktop Size To" -> "This Mac" in order to have sound. If the desktop size is matching with the "Apple TV" (which is 1080p), then there is no sound. Probably it's about the network bandwidth. My Macbook desktop size is using the "Best for Retina display" option.
I found turning wifi on/off also fixes for me... thanks for tip, I used to reboot to solve this... nice step forward 🙂
I couldn't get sound from video while using Chrome but could hear the system sound effects. Because I could hear sound effects thought I should try Safari. Watched same video on Safari and sound worked fine. Easy solution.
MacBook Air 2012 to ATV2.
I was trying to stream a video but the sound wasn't coming through, so i opened a youtube video and it forced both sounds through.
No sound with mirroring
