Aggregated device with AirPlay @ Mountain Lion
My current setup:
- living room: AirPort Express connected to receiver
- bedroom: Macbook Pro (late 2009) with Mountain Lion in combination with Spotify and/or iTunes
I would like to have the sound of spotify/itunes be sent simultaneously to and the optical out of my macbook and the airport express in the living. So I created an aggregated device using this support file: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3956# - I ticked the box on both AirPlay and Built-in Output but there is no sound getting transfered to the Airport Express when both are ticked together.
If I only tick the Airplay checkbox it works perfectly in the living room and if I only tick the Built-in Ouput in it works perfectly on the macbook. But not both checkboxes combined.
Screenshots for clarification to be found here: http://imgur.com/a/K0KND#0
- screenshot 1) works as intended: sound on airport express via AirPlay
- screenshot 2) does not work as intended: only sound on macbook pro
- screenshot 3) works as intended: sound on macbook pro via Built-in output
So any clue why the setup from screenshot 2 does not work?
I reckon this has to be a bug. Can anyone else reproduce this?
