Hey there GDGONGDUI,

I see from your post that your iPhone isn't displaying your B&W A5 speaker in the AirPlay list. To help resolve this issue please follow through the steps outlined below:

Don't see the AirPlay device that you need? Here's what you should check:

  1. Make sure that you plug in and turn on the AirPlay device that you want to stream to.
  2. If you're streaming to an Apple TV, make sure that AirPlay is turned on in Settings > AirPlay.
  3. If your Apple TV uses Ethernet,* check that the cable is plugged into the router that you use for Wi-Fi.
  4. On your iOS device, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and check that you're on the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV or other AirPlay device.
  5. Check the same thing on your Apple TV (or other AirPlay device):
    • For Apple TV (4th generation), go to Settings > Network. Check that you're on the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
    • For Apple TV (2nd or 3rd generation), go to Settings > General > Network. Check that you're on the same Wi-Fi network as your iOS device.
  6. If you still need help, contact Apple Support.

I was having the same problem and finally figured it out with help from a hint in the first reply to the original post. The first menu when you swipe up from the bottom is for airplay mirroring. In other words, putting the iPad display up on an Apple TV. This is a change from iOS 9. A left swipe will bring up the airplay audio menu which should show all compatible devices.

I also can't send anything to my soundtouch speakers since I downloaded the last iOS update. I was on the Beta this summer for iOS 10. It wasn't working at first, but since update 4 I think it was working fine in my house with all my soundtouch speakers. Now none of our iOS devices in the house are working with airplay for the sound.
