ATV4, play music with TV

Hello

I think to buy an Apple TV Gen 4, but I was wondering if it is possible to play music without turning on my TV. In other words, I wish I could say the ATV to play music using my phone as a remote control without having to turn on the TV at any time.

The reason why I have a concern about a requirement to have the screen on is the HDMI licensing restriction that blocks audio if the monitor is on, now that there are no optical output more.

Thank you

Users have experienced different results when you try to use the Apple TV for audio only. Some have found it works well, others have found that they need to have the TV on get audio and others have found that they need the TV to start with, but may turn off when the audio starts to play.

I suspect these variations result from the type of connection that the TV offers and therefore may vary depending on the make and model of TV.

  • Play music with Zire 72

    Anyone know how I can play music with my Zire 72 without having to sit on it to prevent it from turning automatically after 3 minutes?  I wish there was a way to disable the automatic stop device or extend at least to the point of the session you want to listen to music. I know that it protects all and all that, but it can autoshutoff when the battery is discharged to a certain percentage. I went to use it today while my dentist did a prank, but it only lasted 2 minutes because it is somehow got changed to setting.  Help!

    I worked and worked to understand how I could keep the thing from closing. My husband had a response to a search in google of setting of the autoshutoff to a high in suggestions but the higher number, you can go in zire 72 only goes to 3 minutes, so I thought what would happen if I went to but did not close the Preferences window and it worked. My zire 72 plays for more than half an hour now because I implemented in this way. I hope this helps others.

  • How can I organize my music with iTunes and iTunes game folder?

    I used iTunes for Windows for a few years and 2 years ago started with iTunes game. There are 81 000 files in my folder of music, with 35 000 files in a subfolder of my iTunes. iTunes has about 10,000 songs. Some songs are in my music only and some are in the music/iTunes/media folder. Some are both. With 81 000 files, it is impossible to set this manually. Is it possible to do this with iTunes?  I've never played music with other programs. Is the set of the 'my music' folder in Windows managed by iTunes?  I have a double file Finder application that will get rid of DUP, but I worry that a lot of the music is not in iTunes game.

  • Window Popup with strange characters when you want to play music from the cloud

    When I try to play music on the cloud (music downloaded on my computer), I get a popup with some strange characters. It was working fine 2 days ago. Nothing has changed on my computer. I tried uninstalling iTunes and reinstalling. Shows the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

    This is what looks like the pop-up window.

    PS - all anti-virus software are up and running.

    As an addendum, I tried to download music (by clicking on the cloud icon, which then shows an arrow pointing downwards). This popup has shown once again.

    Then I thought maybe it was having a problem with my account or my computer don't think she was allowed. So I checked my account login, and I was connected. Then I tried allowing my computer and this popup appeared again. I then tried my scroll wheel and it seems that it is a right screen. I guess that is the lower right button 'accept' but I'm not confident in the present.

    Strange things brewing.

    Hi all

    I have a big sound even and odd / problem reading music?

    My computer using windows media player 11 and classic media windows and others to play my music in the hard lists recorded by windows media player 11 copied from my CD.

    But here's the weird problem that only started to happen now, when I play music saved on any one of the players of the computer the sound breaks sometimes but not always?

    Even if I try tp use players like windows media player 11 to play recorded video clips sound breaks toward the top, but the video image only?

    I have a newly completed with windows xp home system and service pack 3, and all memory and material necessary for a pc game of level, a new graphics card was installed and by the way the problem of noise was there before this was done?

    I don't know what is the fault? And I don't know how to find out what the required audio driver are for his computer system I?

    I tried the right click on the audio device to see if the pilot could be updated in case that's all? All he asks is a cd or a floppy disk, but I thought you could ask to search for drivers online too?

    He even now breaks the game sounds too!

    Help, please

    If you access Windows Update (start - programs - Windows Update), you can
    see if there is a newer driver. The drivers are optional updates are not so made
    automatically.
     
    Download the driver for your audio hardware manufacturer (or motherboard if
    "It's built-in sound). They are often newer than Windows Update.
     
    This explains how to disable the improvements.
