No Audio when Playing Video

Hi,


I have the newest Apple TV hooked up via HDMI to my TV, and I'm running an optical cable from the Apple TV to a receiver. When I'm airplaying audio through my iOS device it works fine through my celing speakers that are hooked up to my reciever. BUT if I play Netflix through my Apple TV the audio cuts out from my ceiling speakers. This happens with all video I try to access through my Apple TV. Thank you in advnace for your help!

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?
