I am not getting any sound when plugged into a Receiver. I’ve tried everything.

When the Apple TV is plugged via HDMI into my Receiver, with my Receiever plugged via HDMI into my TV, I get picture, but no sound.

- I get the same result with both a Sony Receiver and a Samsung Receiver.

- I get the same result with both a Sharp TV, and a Sony TV.

- The Apple TV works perfectly with sound when plugged directly into a TV.

I need help getting this to work with a Receiver so I can utilize the Volume buttons for my IPhone remote app (please only comment if you’re willing to help me with this).

Do I need to use more than an HDMI cable? Audio cables, external sound options like a soundbar? I’m clueless! Thanks.

I just tried a newer Pioneer receiver with HDMI 2.0 and I’m still getting no sound.

I think you'll find more equipment that can't do this than can, I could be wrong.
