I can tell you that mine works.

3rd generation Apple TV and 2nd generation Express.

Does your Express work for other devices playing sound directly to the Express?

I would also suggest trying a pair of headphones or ear buds into the Express and see if you have any sound from your Apple TV.

Here is what I tried.

I used the iTunes Radio app on the Apple TV.

Chose the sound out on the Apple TV to the Express.

The radio music from the iTunes on the Apple TV sound came out the Express.

Try that and let us know.

You can't send video to one output and audio to another, you can't send video to an audio only output.

It look to me as though that's what you are trying to do, send video to one output (TV) and audio to another (express)
