Q: after setting up apple tv I lose the option to airplay music from speakers

I am confused how to correctly set up the air play system.

I have a wifi router, apple time capsule, apple tv, bowers and wilkins speakers (air play), samsung smart tv. How to "smartly" connect them all together? The speakers worked well as long as I included apple tv, then I lost the option to air play music from my iPhone or my mac to speakers.

Apple TV, iOS 8.1.2

    Welcome to the Apple Community.

     

    I'm not really sure what you mean by

    The speakers worked well as long as I included apple tv,

     

    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.

     

    1. Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    2. Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    3. Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    4. Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    5. Restart your router. (Also try removing it’s power cord for at least 30 seconds)
    6. Restart your mobile device.
