When I try to stream a video, the visual works fine but the audio comes from my MacBook instead of the TV. When I went to Sound Settings, the Apple TV showed up as an option for sound output but would go back to computer every time I clicked Apple Tv.
This happens randomly. I'll use the Apple TV to stream a video from the same website and some days it'll work perfectly and other days it won't.
I'm having the same problem using a Mac Mini, but earlier today, I was able to transfer the sound of a .mov file on the Mini to my Apple TV with no problem.
Hi,
I understand that you are in Airplay? I had the same problem since my AppleTV updated today.
I restarted the airplay setting in the apple TV : Settings / Airplay. Deactivate Airplay.
You will loose the airplay icon in the upper right menu of your Mac.
Reactivate Airplay on the Apple TV and reconnect your Mac.
Solved the problem for me. I hope it will help you too. Sorry if the terms are not the right one, my AppleTV is not in English...
Thanks for the reply. However, this AM, when I set the System Preferences Audio setting on my Mac Mini to send audio to Airplay, it stayed at that setting rather than fliping back to Headphones as was happening last night. I took no action to reboot anything. It's a mystery!
Audio only works from my MacBook instead of TV.
