Apple TVWelcome to the Apple Community Newbieappleguy.
Have you tried adjusting the "Audio Out" and the "Dolby Digital" settings in settings > audio and video? It may be worth trying several combinations of these settings, although typically it is the "Dolby Digital" setting that causes most problems for users.
If you are using a sound system/receiver, make sure that you have correctly mapped the input port on your sound system to the output, if you are unsure about how to do this, refer to the manual that came with your sound system.
Have you tried playing various content sources (i.e. podcasts, music, iTunes Store video, other video etc), do you have the same problem with all types of content? If you use optical you might also check that you can see a red light at the end of your optical audio cable. Is your optical audio cable plugged straight into your sound system, or does it go through a switch or other device?

Apple TVWhy are you trying to mirror it, it's much easier from the Apple TV > Computers > Rentals.

Apple TVYou may be playing the wrong soundtrack or you may have an issue with your network, why don't you just play the rental like it's suppose to be played.

Jan 6, 2014 4:50 PM in response to Winston Churchillby flatmap,For what it's worth, I got a new Apple TV for Christmas and until I read Winston Churchill's note to navigate to the Apple TV > Computers > Rentals, I didn't realize that was how it was intended to work. It's obvious now, but my first instinct was to play the movie on my computer and then use airplay. Many thanks.
