Apple TV4 lack of Audio output - answers

I was put off initially buy the new TV4 Apple because Apple dropped to the audio output optical, and well as my HDMI home cinema projector I needed to split the audio because it has no audio capability.

I found 2 solutions:

First the J-Tech Digital 3 Port HDMI/MHL Audio Extractor & switch.  This does 2 things.

1. he split the audio and provided an optical port.

2. in my case the projector had a single HDMI input so it allows me to pass via the Apple TV to my cable box remote control.

The only problem I saw is that you need turn on the setting of the video release of the Apple TV auto to one of the other settings to avoid offshore of colors.

J - Tech also sells a cheaper model separator if you don't need the decision-making of HDMI 2.

Second, it turns out that in these same setting menus, you can actually direct the release of the Apple TV wireless to the other pair of audio speakers.  Since I have an Airport Express already put in place for Airplay, I might have just chosen.  The only reason why I keep the separator is that I need the video sharing.

I hope this helps as anyone holding back buy the new Apple TV, because it's pretty impressive.  I've owned every generation of the first and it's the best.

I only wanted to help Apple would have been able to offer these suggestions when I called and asked them solutions specifically about my problem and how it kept my purchase.

Update:

My installation works perfectly.

I figure out the color off I saw what initially set up the projector with the ATV4 was the projector and not the ATV4.

When I added the cable for installation box I saw the color out of it, but by changing the color profile in the projector, it became perfect.  This allowed me to go back and forth the ATV to the automobile and both give a perfect color.

If you just need the optical output to buy the optical splitter J-tech on Amazon for $19.99.

I bought the model with the added feature of you allowing to have 2 HDMI inputs and switch between them.

  • Apple TV 4th Gen Audio output

    I want to play music through surround sound in the basement and also echo a speaker floor upwards.  I have both put in place, but the menu will only allow me to select one or the other.  Will there be a software update that will allow the selection of the output multiple audio.  In the end, it would give me a whole House stereo system.

    I don't know if this method works with Apple TV 4, but it is a possible workaround:

  • HDMI output on Apple TV 4 sends audio and video on TV, not just audio and video for TV to a stereo receiver

    Just hooked up our new Apple TV. Excited is no longer need to use both optical HDMI cables so that everything happens [with our compatible audio receiver HDMI.] But to hook the HDMI cable to the receiver, it sends audio and video to the TV. The audio will not play back via the receiver which is very annoying. Anyone else having this problem?

    It all depends on how your receiver and the TV are connected. the general idea that underlies the HDMI, is that he send audio/video in HD quality via the same cable...

    my system is configured - Live tv on HDMI1, HDMI2 on ATV, bluray on HDMI3 and cable optical audio output to receiver - no "entry" material I look at, the audio comes through tv receiver.

    on the other hand, my father has everything connected to the receiver via HDMI, which acts as a transition to television, but he needs to change the entry on BOTH the TV and the receiver...

    How is your audio connected TV to the receiver - it cable on which exit?

  • Audio output selection nightmare

    I'm not the only one who hates the multiple options of selection of output in Windows XP.  And it may be the fault only of Windows.  I have 2 outputs: speakers and headphones.  Speakers USB, headset detaches the built-in sound on the motherboard.  You would think it would be easy to spend in Control Panel, sounds.  But none.  Its a nightmare.  To get my browser to be aware of the difference, I almost have to restart the computer.  Is it possible to force all programs to see that I made a new selection?  Some programs have their own audio selection options (bless!), but most don't.  And of course browsers never seem to.  I use Opera and Firefox.  I just want to be able to force my selection or push my selection on all programs at the same time instantly.  Instead of having to close them and restart each of them.

    The only alternative is to buy a box and not use USB at all.  It's amazing that this problem has not been addressed.  Keyboards should have audio switches built on them, or at least the monitor.  So many people use the headphones, earphones or headphones so that their speakers.

    In addition, what is wave?  Why have we not more than 1 volume control?  With the volume in the program (like saying VLC player) we have now 3 volume controls.  Is - this stupid or what?  To make it even more stupid, Microsoft chose to no information in help on the airwaves.  IDIOTS!  This is so typical of this company.  The WORST 'Help' in existence.  No one could be this bad by accident.  It must be intentional.  Why?  To keep the public in the dark?  Don't they just not care?  How many times do we register an error code in help have no results?  Its THEIR error code?  But there is nothing in the help.  Awesome!

    ---------------UPDATE-----------------
    For those who need more flexible sound options, I just found out that you can pass the audio device outputs without closing the program that uses in Win7.  It was a nice touch, Microsoft.  Not too fast of course like a hardware switch but an improvement over XP in this area.

    I think in the future I'll politely ask people to send links to something else than to Microsoft stuff.  They are completely unnecessary.

    The links you sent even do not start to solve my problems.  Play well!  Thanks for the effort.

    Tip: Start with non-Microsoft links.  Before that, read the question.

    A box is the answer.  An audio output possible (because anything more complex that this is just too much for the Window operating system - I don't know that apple is just as bad), get into a box with multiple outputs 3.5 mm with or without a volume control. This will work.  They are about $30 on Ebay, but probably made with pieces of garbage.  The answer is to do it yourself the assurance of the quality of the parts, because there are a lot of mechanical action going on here.  And we know that factories in China is kind of skimp on quality when it comes to friction in the movement of pieces.

    But it would be nice if you could choose just and the system would obey.  Good luck.  The answer is to remove the choice and do it yourself.  A bit like how Apple sells their simplicity: just remove choices!  Laughing out loud!  Good enough for the average, credulous lemming there.  The last thing that just need a retailer is an informed customer.

  • No audio output device is installed - not corrupt Windows drivers

    Suddenly had a red cross on the audio output and not sound. The thought of hardware problem. Bought basic sound card, drivers installed. The Red Cross again still no sound. Looked on MS answers. Tried all simple suggestions for pilots and others. Downloaded the drivers and install them like crazy.  No change, nothing. Not realized a driver problems. The issue of corruption of Windows. Did a clean install of DVD and voila, the sound is restored with no red cross.  Then tried to update from Windows.old. He successfully achieved and... Red Cross reappears. Now, did a clean install once more and have a machine with its work but not user or data files. Bloody Windows folder; There are 45 485 files in my Windows.old in Windows version (file) and install 45 307 files in my own version of the same file. Somewhere in this huge haystack is the needle that explains why the sound does not work. Damndest thing. For others suffering from the issue of audio, so that many well-meaning folk here have put forward sensible suggestions on the drivers, they are not necessarily the answer. And in fact may just lose a lot of your time.

    Anyone with suggestions for the restoration of a more selective way of Windows.old or my last backup (of course without causing corruption..)?

    Windows 7 Ultimate 6.1.7600 Build 7600

    Hi SpiritX/Rob,

    Thanks, yes I already tried and actually a restore successful from the windows.old folder. Unfortunately, the restoration has also eliminated my audio (and network and probably some other stuff too - another story)!

    I myself have reconciled now to live with my own installation, made a new battery of updates from WIndows (about 250 MB worth!) last night and always perfect. Machine has always has audio, still has the networking.

    I don't want to treat it as a new machine, just re - install the program I really need/want rather than lots of "stuff" that you think you want or as Apple, Google, Adobe, Microsoft, Sun (Java) manage to drag your defenses.  First installation has been AV (Eset), next installation will be Paragon (for back-up). So my own programs, then the user files.

    It would be a very interesting experience to compare the 'pilot' between my windows (clean-install, work) current functional folder and those in the hiearachy of corresponding windows.old. Who'd settle, to some extent, whether the pilots themselves or some other setting in some different files.

    Thanks again for your support here, and I love the quote from Mark Twain.

    See you soon

  • Satellite L300D-243 - no audio output device is installed

    Hello

    I look for a similar problem in the forum but have not found anything that's been resolved.
    I'll try to explain how my problem came.

    My sound is fine until when a few days ago I tried to lower the volume and then all of a sudden it froze.
    Came a message that his unit has stopped working.
    I restarted the laptop, but it has not started at all, nothing on the screen, just the fan runs at slow speed. I figured it by removing one of the plates of ram and then with the possible one began almost success except he was not an indication of a sound, just the message "no audio output device is installed", and an 'x' on the taskbar icon sound.

    In Device Manager it is not anything related to an audio device High Definition Audio Controller except under the menu system devices.

    So what do you think, is this a hardware or no problem and is it fixable.
    Hope someone can give me an answer.

    Thanks in advance!

    Have you read this thread:
    https://Forum.Toshiba.EU/showthread.php?82746

    Open the Device Manager.
    Then expand the sound, video and game controllers, click on the Realtek High definition Audio choose: turn OFF, then turn ON.

    If you can not find Realtek HD audio device (this is the sound card), so I recommend you click on view and choose 'show hidden devices '. Perhaps the sound card appears in the list...

    In addition, visit the Realtek driver page and download and install the latest Realtek HD audio driver.

    Hope that it could solve the problem

  • Satellite U300-11V - there is sometimes no audio output

    I need help with my laptop Satellite U300-11v,

    I was faced with the Audio device driver problem, sometimes there is no audio output, and then back after a reboot or put to sleep the laptop, its been like a movement of the audio device. where he sometimes lacks the driver, could you give me a hint on this problem?

    I had downloaded the latest version of the driver and installed but remains in the same State.

    Hello!

    What operating system do you use?
    Using the preinstalled operating system or another version?

    It's not easy to say which is the reason why, but make sure that you have installed the latest SP for your operating system and all updates. You can check this by using the Windows Update.

    In addition, I would recommend updating BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site.

    I want to install a new game on my computer and the game launcher.exe told me there's an update for my video drivers. For some reason, I can't get updated driver from HP Web site directly and not AMD (which, on a side note, is a bit confusing to me know why). After seeing how many updates are available for my computer (here), I decided to update many of them. Here is a list of the updates I have downloaded and installed.

    That said, at the end of all updates and all the restarting of the past, I boot my laptop and notice the lack of opening of a session of his. Looking at the system tray, there is, indeed, a mini icon 'X' on the volume icon. With the mouse hovering over him, he bed "no Audio output device is enabled" by clicking on it, the computer tries to set up the problem and the problem it finds is the following: "Audio device is disabled."

    That's about the extent of my knowledge of what is happening.
    Looking in the Device Manager, under "Audio, video and game controllers", there are three elements that follows:
    AMD High Definition Audio Device
    CyberLink WebCam driver virtual

  • No Audio output device is installed... need more suggestions I already tried the solutions proposed by the Help menu.

    I get the message "no Audio output device is installed" with the little thing red x in the lower right corner of my computer screen. I looked up problems and common solutions.
    I uninstalled the device drivers in the menu equipment and also in the menu programs and features, after this, I restarted my computer before reinstalling.
    I did it too, but instead of reainstalling manually, I plugged my audio in a different speaker and let the computer to reinstall the driver by itself.
    I restarted the computer, the system restored the computer, put it to sleep, awake it save, close and let rest before restarting it.
    I checked the BIOS menu and changed the sound is activated instead of auto and tried uninstalling and reinstalling my drivers with this option, but the small x is still there.
    When I go into my control panel Device Manager and open the sound video and game controllers, I see my Realtek High definition audio. I open it to properties and it says it's working properly... then why my sound is not working? I've also updated the drivers and downloaded specifically on the realtek site, but no difference was filed.

    The sound is working again. I went camping for 2 days and came back, and it worked. It did NOT work once again before I left, he was dead. It sounds terrible, it of quiet and fades quieter and the but it works.

    None of the suggestions given here did something to help my problem. The proposed update does not work on my computer, I couldn't even download. I'll probably install a new sound card, but I would have liked your comments on this suggestion since I asked if this might be the problem several times. I'm annoyed that there was no way real and say what my problem is that after I answered engineers none of them responded to additional feedback I had given.

  • Different audio output for different applications

    For most applications, including Windows itself, I use my speakers that work out of my sound card in the PC. For my Skype, I use a headset connected to the back of the monitor. This configuration works very well, given that Skype allows to choose the audio output by default se device. Now I want another application (a game, Endwar, to be precise) to use headphones as a default with the rest of the system device as it is on the left. Is there a way to do this?

    SUP Zatrix,

    It would be only possible if it is supported in the game/program itself or if your sound card driver configuration settings will allow it.  Some sound card drivers will allow you to have two different audio streams or separated for helmets.  So, it really depends on your hardware and the application that you are willing to put in place this way.

    It's funny how some people leave Windows to a Mac not realizing that Bill Gates has a large part of the Apple.  MARIE.
