airplay not working on sierra

I fixed my Airplay issue (black screen, video failing, etc.) by uninstalling Soundflower extension. I loved that extension as it could capture audio from a web page, but it now seems to break AirPlay.

Hope this helps.

Uninstalling Soundflower-2-0b2 solved the airplay issue for me. I miss it however.

I've tried everything suggested in this thread but still not solved. Here's my problem:

For quite a while now I have been using Spotify on my late 2013 Macbook and have been selecting my Marantz M-CR611 streaming system (which has Spotify Connect) on the Spotify desktop app with no problems. Some time ago I ripped all my CDs to iTunes and had been able to play these on the Marantz via Airplay. Today I decided not to waste any more money on a streaming service and just play my CDs from iTunes but for some reason airplay doesn't show as an option any more. I'm running Sierra (10.12.6) and the latest iTunes and I'm sure I've been able to play via Airplay since installing Sierra but the option is no longer there. If I go to System Prefs/Sound the only device that appears is Internal Speaker and in System Prefs/Display the only option in the drop-down menu for Airplay Display is "Off".

Can anyone help please – playing from iTunes just through the Macbook speakers is no use to me.

Thanks

Thank you!!! This fixed my problem. Apple TV was not being recognized by either my 2014 MacBook Air, iphone 5S or iPad3 until I did what you suggested. I tried all kinds of advice from Apple forums, google, etc. but "renew DHCP lease" fixed it immediately.
Thank you, Thank you, ebsjr!

I just did the "Renew DHCP Lease" and a restart and was finally able to connect my mid-2011 MacBook Pro to my 3rd Gen AppleTV for the first time since I upgraded to Sierra. It looks like there may be something else going on if it doesn't work for everyone. Would be nice if Apple would take this seriously.

Newest Apple TV

All software up to date.

We have multiple Macs running 10.12 we cannot get mirroring to work. Sound and video from iTunes works but not for display mirroring we get prompted to enter a code but after entering the code it says unable to join.

Any ideas?

Super frustrating problem! Running Mac OS 10.12.3 on my Macbook Pro and I go through extended periods where I can stream video on Airplay no problems (mostly for my Shudder account) and then for no reason POOF! Airplay doesn't see our Apple TV.

I had the same problem. If you go to System preferences > Sound > Output and check the "show volume in menu bar". Then on desktop, hold down "alt" and click the volume icon. The click the output device you want. Works fine then!

Requirements for using AirPlay

If you go to Apple menu > System Preferences, click Displays, and don't see the option to "Show mirroring options in the menu bar when available," your Mac doesn't meet these requirements.

Minimum requirements if your Mac and Apple TV are on the same network:

• Apple TV (2nd generation or later) with the latest Apple TV software
• For mirroring your display or extending your desktop, any of the following Mac computers with OS X Mountain Lion v10.8 or later:
  • iMac (Mid 2011 or later)
  • Mac mini (Mid 2011 or later)
  • MacBook (Early 2015 or later)
  • MacBook Air (Mid 2011 or later)
  • MacBook Pro (Early 2011 or later)
  • Mac Pro (Late 2013 or later)

Minimum requirements for peer-to-peer AirPlay, which lets visitors quickly and easily connect their Mac or iOS device to your Apple TV without gaining passwords and connecting to the Wi-Fi network:

• Apple TV (3rd generation rev A, model A1469 or later) with the latest Apple TV software
• A Mac (2012 or later) with OS X Yosemite v10.10 or later

Cheers!

So basically what your saying is you understand that it's nice to airplay but you can't do anything except for give him the requirements he needs after he told you that he has all the requirements.

TC, I mean Siri will boot you if you complain!

I have the exact same problem and I still haven't found out, what to do about it.

My hardware and software all supports AirPlay and a all updated to latest whatever.

Pre-2011 Macxxx & Original Airport Express owners beware!

Stay at OS X El Capitan & iOS 8 or lower, or

You will need NEW(er) equipment to continue using AirPlay w Sierra or iOS9.
