Q: ios9/ElCapitan airplay no longer an option

I've updated my macbook, iPad and iPhone to the latest OS and now Airplay isn't a shown/available option on any of the devices. I haven't updated the software on the receiver I'm trying to connect to, but I'm wondering do you even need a valid receiver present to even see the airplay option?  On the macbook, airplay isn't an option on sound output settings. It's not like airplay isn't working, it isn't even offered.

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1

    Answered my own question. It appears that unless there's a valid destination for the airport stream, the airport option doesn't show up. As soon as I  updated the firmware on my home theater receiver, the airplay option showed up on the mbp/iphone/ipad.

    spoke too soon. my phone played a couple hours via airplay and suddenly stopped mid-song. the airplay option disappeared from phone and computer.
