New and No Audio on Apple TV

I have recently purchased a new Apple TV after purchasing a new Macbook air.


At first had no trouble with Airplay, and was using my phone to watch trailers, however, I just tried to connect my new Air to Airplay, visual was perfect, but there is no audio. I have attempted turning my wifi on and of, and also changing the Dolby audio setting from auto - on - off, but neither options have worked so far.


Can someone please help me on this??

Morning Varmalis,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Enabling AirPlay from iTunes on your computer

To stream music or videos from your computer to an Apple TV or AirPort Express:

  1. Connect your computer and Apple TV to the same Wi-Fi network.
  2. Open iTunes (10.2 or later).
  3. Locate and click the User uploaded file icon in the bottom-right corner of the iTunes application.
  4. Select your Apple TV, AirPort Express, or AirPlay-enabled speakers or receivers from the list of available devices that appears, and begin playback.

Note: The images of a TV screen User uploaded file or speaker User uploaded file next to each AirPlay device in the AirPlay menu indicate the type of media content you can stream to that device.

I have the same problem, I am streaming from my MacBook Air 2012 using Chrome and YouTube to my Apple TV V3 and I get the video fine, but there is no Audio, randomly after playing around a little bit I will get Audio but most of the time, there will be just silence. I tried rebooting the ATV and MBA but nothing, what's the soluciton when I am doing AirPlay Mirroring and not using iTunes for the NO AUDIO problem, thanks

My cousin came around and together we conquered the Apple TV! The initial reason for it not working was I hadn't reset my laptop after the initial installation of the Apple TV.


However, it stuffed up again. This time I found that if I closed the program I was using (VLC player) then opening it again while my laptop was connected to the Apple TV the audio worked.


Simple solution to what I assumed was a complex problem :)
