No surround sound on Apple TV 4 gen?

I recently upgraded to Apple TV fourth generation and lost my sound surround.

My old Apple TV (3rd generation) has been connected via optical toslink to my receiver Onkyo and everything worked well. A 5.1 surround sound.

Now, I have installed the new Apple TV 4, who unfortunately doesn't support optical output. Instead I connected the th output to my Onkyo HDMI receiver. Whenever I get sound, but only 3.1 (front left, right and Center) but no sound on my surround sound speakers. If I unplug the Apple TV and plug in my DVD player the same HDMI input on the receiver I hear great 5.1 surround. If Im guessing all the settings of the receiver is very well. It's just the apple TV that does not work.

Why is this? Apple TV supports 5.1 sound more? Is this a known problem and how can it be solved.

Try adjusting the audio settings Dolby on the ATV4.  Given that my receiver has no HDMI inputs, I went with an optical splitter HDMI and have 5.1.

  • 4th generation Apple tv remote keeps switching HDMI 2 if I have my surround sound Samsung anynet on which uses when the samsung TV is turned on. Currently I have away the skin until I found what I want to watch.

    Current configuration is a Samsung TV with a Samsung blu - ray surround sound.  When both are on they use anynet to communicate. Now with the new apple TV 4, any click on the apple TV remote will send my TV HDMI 2 (where the entourage of blu - ray is connected). How can I stop this? The apple TV is HDMI 3. The dressing must be on HDMI 2 which is also ARC (Audio return channel)

    Try to go in the settings of TV4 of Apple and the deactivation of the ability to control your receiver and your TV. This should disable HDMI CEC which resembles its conflict with Anynet.

  • Help with Apple TV (4th gen) ADCOM receiver.

    I'm trying to connect my Apple TV (4th Gen) to my receiver with basic cable AV (sound). I have an Apple TV to TV HDMI. The audio input of the TV, I have the AV cable connected to my output of receivers. I can't understand why the sound is still coming from the television and not sound surround. Thanks for any help!

    Note:

    My TV is a Sony kdf-e42a10

    My receiver is an ADCOM GTP-600

    It's a little tricky because of the age of your components.

    You should connect the plug the ATV HDMI to TV. You then connect the stereo audio output TV at the input of the receiver. (Your description reversed entry and exit.) You must then turn off the TV speakers in the TV configuration menu and select the right input on the receiver. You get digital surround sound with this Setup, but you could get Logic Pro.

  • 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.

    Thank you

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

    The link to the wing in the article is broken so use this one: https://rogueamoeba.com/airfoil/

    Or use Apple TV comments and tell Apple you want several speaker support.

  • Not able to install apple tv 4th gen as home hub

    Updated to iOS 10 yesterday. I was looking for installation up to the ATV 4th Gen as a home hub, but it is not allowing me. It works very well to set up the ipad pro as the hub, but not the ATV, which is running TVos 10, and Yes 2 verification step is on. Everyone knows about this problem? Apple is aware?

    Hello. Have you seen this cannot create Apple TV (4th gen) as Home Hub?

  • Unable to set up Apple TV (4th gen) as Home Hub

    I updated my iPhone to iOS 10 5s yesterday and today I updated my Apple TV (4th gen) to tvOS 10.

    But I can't configure my Apple TV as a hub in the home on my iPhone app - the Automation tab in the hub said "Make Apple TV (4th generation) to the center of your House...» ", but offers no possibility to do so.

    I found this article:

    Automate and remotely to your accessories HomeKit - Apple Support

    Who says:

    • On your Apple TV, go to settings > accounts > iCloud and make sure your Apple TV shows connected HomeKit.

    But there's nothing HomeKit this page of settings on Apple TV. (Yes, my Apple ID has two-factor auth enabled.)

    Does anyone have this working? Any tips?

    Thank you

    Same question here, but with 6 s iPhone more and iPad 9.7 Pro.

    No "HomeKit" option under iCloud as instructions indicate there should be.

    Only reference HomeKit that I could find anywhere was under "Privacy", with the only option being "Reset configuration" or something like that. Who comes to HomeKit forget all my devices.

    Have activated two-factor authentication, then out of the iCloud, Apple TV, and back in. No luck. Tried to reboot several times, still nothing.

    The Apple TV is clear my HomeKit Setup, because the use of the thing "Reset configuration" has had an impact on what I see on my iPhone. So I think this could be a bug in 10 TVOS. Very annoying that it breaks the new Automation features in iOS 10.

  • Apple TV (4th Gen) and HomeHub

    Literature of Apple is a little sparse on the practice of setting up Apple TV (4th Gen) as a Homehub.  They say

    That's all.  Thing is there is no settings > iCloud and check if your connected.  Is there a home App for Apple TV?  I'm missing something here.

    "

    Too bad, that it worked.  You must go to your iCloud account and HomeKit appears. It should be activate 2FA then in the AppleTV go to settings > iCloud > your iCloud and home account is displayed.

  • Can't play music bought on the cloud on Apple TV (4th gen)

    I just started to use the Apple's music, and when I go to my music on my MacBook Air and iPhone/iPad, I can play anything I added whether through Apple music, music purchased from the iTunes Store or my own music that corresponded via iCloud music library.

    On my Apple TV (4th gen), however, I can't play the purchased songs. Apple and my own songs music songs play fine. But if I choose one of the purchased albums, the screen does is display the album artwork for every song Flash by very quickly, but does not play anything.

    Someone knows how to fix this or if this is a known bug?

    Thank you!

    You can try to reboot the device, and then disconnect the store and insert it again.

  • Apple TV 4th gen: video stutters/buffers when bluetooth connected to headset Motorola SS9 - HD

    Nice day!  My new Apple TV 4th gen: video stutters/pads several times when connected in bluetooth for headset Motorola S9 - HD.  Normal play time before the start of the stuttering/buffering is about 15 seconds.  The headphone stops also in stuttering.  After that the buffer of spinning button stops, all goes back to normal until the next cycle.  This happens on all video activity of any source.  If I disconnect the headset in the bluetooth settings, everything is completely OK.  This is a brand new Apple TV 4, with the latest updates.  This stuttering also occurs when of the Air Airplaying of my iPad, or if playback purchased iTunes movies.

    The main reason for the purchase of this 4th Apple TV:

    1. availability of the App Store of Apple TV.

    2. ability to connect his bluetooth headset and ensure the privacy of the other

    3. the beautiful screensavers.

    4. menu main display and interface.

    5. Siri Remote.

    Others have run into this problem?  Is it known to be a workaround?

    Thank you very much for your time.

    Bill

    I wanted to add to my previous question that I tested the speed of the WiFi using my iPad Air in the same room with the Apple TV 4. Used SpeedOf.Me Lite and went up 23 Mbps download and shipping.

    Should have mentioned this in the original post.

  • No. 5.1 surround sound HDMI

    Problem - I don't get that ' "two-channel stereo sound during playback of a DVD (with Dolby) on my computer.  The computer is connected to an audio receiver that is set up for a surround sound.  Audio and video signals are transmitted from the PC via the HDMI 8.Lorsque on the video/tuner card.

    Computer - Compaq SR7510F

    Vidéo/Tuner - ATI All in Wonder HD

    Connected to Onkyo TX-SR604 through a video/Tuner card HDMI cable.  The Onkyo receiver is connected for 5.1 surround sound speakers.  Video signals are transmitted via the receiver to a flat screen monitor

    Sound - onboard Realtek

    According to the specifications for the SR5710F it is supposed to support its 6 speakers.  However the HDMI audio driver only allows me to select "stereo".  It is a select "surround" box, but the box is "grayed out".

    When I play the same DVD using a stand-alone DVD by Phillips drive, connected to the Onkyo receiver with the same HDMI cable, I get Dolby on the receiver.  This means that it is not a problem with the receiver, it must have something to do with 1) onboard Realtek sound driver 2) HDMI, or 3) the HDMI connection on the video/tuner card.

    I checked on the Web from Realtek site and they list a newer driver for Vista (32 bit), but when I use the Device Manager to update the driver, it is said that it is the most recent.  I don't know that the driver is the problem, so I'm hesitant to try for the heck of it.

    I tried the latest drivers Catalyst 9.1 for ATI All in Wonder card, but that didn't help either.

    Any idea?

    Telefunken,

    Thanks for the suggestion.  It worked!  There is absolutely no sense to me, nor it does not seem logical to select SPDIF, but I can't argue with success.

    I didn't need to buy Arcsoft Media Theater.  I was able to select SPDIF with ATI Catalyst and Microsofts Media Center.  I could get Dolby

    In my current setup, I updated ATI Catalyst 9.3 version graphics card and loaded the audio driver Realtek HDMI ATI R2.18.  Also in the BIOS, I put the Audio on 'Auto '.  I chose the HDMI, not the Realtek driver driver in Control Panel.  I chose Dolby and DTS bothy under the driver settings.

    Now I think I'll enjoy a Quantum of Solace from this nagging problem is resolved.

  • Pavilion 15-n267ea: how to set up 5.1 surround sound on my laptop through 3.5 mm Jack?

    Hello

    I was wondering if anyone of you guys/girls know how to set up surround sound 5.1 to 3.5 mm jack? I have a HP Pavilion n267ea 15 notebook with 10 64-bit Windows installed currently. My HARD drive failed last year so I had to install a new copy of windows (without the HP software) because I never made a backup.

    If there is a way, I would be grateful if you could let me know in a few steps. I have a surround system hooked up with an input audio jack of 3.5 mm. Any help would be appreciated.

    Concerning

    Hello @Androider86,

    Thank you for visiting the HP Forums! The Forums are a great place where you can find solutions for your problems, with the help of the community!

    I read your post about the noise and wanted to help you!

    From my understanding, to reach 5.1 output, you need the outputs 3 analog stereo, or you will have to do it via HDMI.  I hope this helps.

    As far as I know I have everything connected correctly, but I'm only obtaining from my front left speakers and rear no where elsewhere.

    I checked the speakers and all the settings I can think on the laptop, is there something that I don't have to send the signal to all the speakers?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

  • Apple tv 4th gen unable to buy the movies if to never ask for the password and code value of active access

    Hello

    I noticed that since a few weeks I'm not able to buy a movie more if:

    -Set store account never ask for password

    -Activate restrictions (set a password) and all buy "limited."

    It works with the same configuration perfectly on my Apple TV 1st, 2nd and 3rd generation, where clicking on the buy button you are prompted to enter the password instead of having to enter your iTunes account password every time.

    But on the Apple TV 4th gen, once I click the button to buy, I get the circle of rotation and it keeps just there, never ask the password so that the operation never happens.

    If I disable the restrictions for the purchase of movies, I can buy the movie (do not ask for an access code and password)

    If I put the password on all your purchases, I am also able to buy the film.

    But still, if I set the password to "ask always", then enable password, set 'focused' purchases (so I'm in the best situation: should I get the password dialog box when I'm about to buy anything, rather than the full itunes password) it simply doesn't.

    I tried: record / stop all accounts (not just the store, but also iCloud, gamecenter, home sharing, etc) - nothing

    Also tried to restore the device and set up from scratch: nothing.

    Apple TV 4th gen updated to the latest version of the software (tried to update, said: I'm updating)

    And again, if I try to do the same thing on Apple TV 1st generation, 2nd generation, 3rd generation, they have all THE work. (Click on buy, get the guest password, enter my 4 digits, in fact)

    The thing is that I am convinced that it worked before this nonsense.

    I'm in Spain, and my account is linked to the Spanish bank

    Any ideas?

    I'm afraid that you'll just have to disable restrictions until the problem is resolved.
