Still disappointed with Apple TV Surround Sound!

Well, after several months of use of the Apple TV4, I must say that I am still very disappointed with the sound surround.

I have an audio receiver system and decent surround speakers, but since the purchase of the ATV4 the sound is not as good as it used to be, and it is poor compared to the other entries like Sky HD for example. I set him up on a possible adjustment of best Audio 7.1.

Its mainly the question of when I watch a movie. If listening to music it sounds good, but put a movie and I always have to turn up the volume. For example I was listening music to-30db on the amp but watched The good Dinosaur with my family yesterday and has to turn his up - 15db and before someone mentions - 15 is stronger than-30 on my system with 0db reference sound.

I don't understand why there is a big difference between music and movies. Netflix even sounds better. Sky HD sounds better. I had enough discussions and reviews on here for sure that I put it in place correctly but still his pants.

Come on get Apple sort it is so frustrating!

Hello. The sound on the movies is weak to allow plenty of room for loud sounds. The coding of the sound film was made when the film has been digitized. ATV is just passing the bytes on your amp. Sky is a broadcaster, so they compress the audio, distort in the process. Hard to say what Netflix is up to.

  • 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.

  • Can I burn a DVD with surround sound 5.1 PE10?

    I'm experimenting PE10 to see if it does what I want.

    I created a small project based on the HD AVCHD 5.1 project preset and have imported a few clips with ac3 for audio files.

    When I play the videos in the application, the sound surround works very well.

    I burned the project on DVD, but when I play the DVD on my DVD drive (plugged into stereo) I don't get sound no go my surround speakers, only forward and Center/subwoofer speakers.

    I tried other presets of project and the creation of a 5.1 audio channel in importing an ac3 file and adding especially tracks.  The problem with this is that the sound surround sound does not work in the application, and I checked the audio preferences and played with the settings.

    So, my question is if I can burn a project with 5.1 audio on DVD to be played on a DVD player?

    Unfortunately, he cannot encode pre DD 5.1 SS, but only import who and then mixing stereo (2 channels).

    PrPro even need optional Minnetonka Audio / over-codes SS SD plugin 5.1 (~ $ 250), do it. PrPro, we can create a DD 5.1 SS DVD or BD, through recall (the included authoring application), but yet will write ONLY the DD 5.1 SS AC3 (through than SurCode plugin) and can not watch the DD 5.1 SS, but PrPro can, so monitoring all should be done before yet. Yet can also write other extra Audio streams, such as DTS, ProLogic, etc., but who MUST be imported into the still and SHOULD be 100% DVD/BD-compliant in all respects.

    Good luck

  • I still have to type my password after I enabled unlocking with Apple Watch.

    Well, I did everything correctly. Or at least I think. But for some reason, my mac still asks me a password to unlock. As I opened the cover, I get the message "Unlock with Apple Watch". But he invites me just after my password.

    Did someone else faced with something similar or is that what I'm doing wrong?

    Thank you

    Sahit Anand

    I have the same question.

    I filled all the criteria and even turned off the FileVault nothing helps. The MacBook Pro (with OS Sierra end 2013) seems to want to "" be unlocked, but the watch (1st generation with OS 3) shows absolutely no sign of communication with the Mac. All devices are on the same wifi and Bluetooth is turned on.

    I give up!

    They are fresh from holding temporary store, your card issuer should remove in a few days or more: on the payment card's authorization in the iTunes Store - Apple Support

    A card having a chance to be accepted it must be registered with the same name and address (including the format and spacing etc) that you have on your iTunes account and have been issued by a bank in the country where you are (and, therefore, the country that sits on your iTunes account). If it is you can check with the card issuer to see if it is them who are in decline. Or do you have another card you could try?

    Or to create a new account without giving details of the payment: create an iTunes Store account, App Store and iBooks Store without credit card or other method of payment - Apple Support

  • Can I set up a surround sound 5.1 with the headphones?

    Can I set up a surround sound 5.1 with the headphones? I plugged in the headphones, but it doesn't seem to work very well.

    Great Question!

    The output on the laptop is 2.0, unless specified.

    Most of the 5.1 headphones do a virual surround sound experience unless they require multiple entries mini-jack, optical or cajolées.

    The only way to experience true 5.1 on a notebook computer is to have a 5.1 card internal (which is not included in the course HP laptop computers) or buy an external plug (USB or ExpressCard).

  • Option of surround sound clothes outside with HD4870 HDMI connection after installation of SP1 Vista54

    Clothes outside with HD4870 and HDMI connection surround sound option
    I just built an HTPC and installed SP1 Vista64 and I have a problem. I have a DFI LanParty very X 58-T3H6 motherboard and a VisionTek Radeon HD 4870 video card with HD audio. I have a HDMI cable to my Sony AV receiver and all I get is Audio stereo. The subwoofer never wakes from sleep, or AV receiver indicates anything but a stereo input.

    I have the RealTek HDMI audio device installed, and he says he's working properly in Device Manager. Under properties, what is proposed is stereo speakers. Surround sound is presented as an option, but it is grayed out and not selectable. All drivers are up to date from four days and I have the on-board sound card mother disabled in the BIOS and it does not appear in the Windows Device Manager, nor are there any other audio device except the RealTek HD HDMI audio device.

    Other HDMI devices, such as my XBOX 360, a surround sound very well via the AV Sony receiver.

    VisionTek support told me to install the RealTek HDMI driver, I did, but that's all the help they were able to give me.  The problem persists.  Surround sound is gray under sound properties for this device,

    I took the HDMI cable from HDMI port on the video card and plugged on my XBOX 360 and I get surround sound, so I know that the cable and the audio/video receiver is configured correctly.

    If anyone has an extra idea about it, I know you more!

    Thank you!

  • I would like to know, if the first 14 elements still work with Smart Sound? Thanks for a response!

    Hello, I love to give the music to my videos with Smart Sound Sonicfire. It works perfect in first 11 elements. So before buying 14 items first, I would like to know, if this still works with Smart Sound.

    Sorry for my bad English!

    First 14 elements has no interface directly with SmartSound, like older versions of the program. The program now includes Scores, that is Adobe tool for the creation of custom music titles.

    However, if you copy a piece of music for SonicFire as a WAV, you will be able to import that WAV in your Premiere Elements project.

  • 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.

    It is found that after you update your IOS in iPad, iphone, and iPad they don't no more mirror with apple Tv, it's just showing the apple tv but only in the speaker and when I play something it's just sounds, but nothing else, I tried with pro (el capitan) macbooks and works, I try with ipad (IOS8) and works , but nothing with the IOS9 into the iPad and iPhone.

  • What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4

    What is the best HDMI switch for use with Apple tv 4. I heard some do not work and the automatic switch has problems because Apple tv is still using power?

    I installed on a cutting and not because the automatic switch works because it isn't always. It came with a remote control that is almost as good, so don't mind the fact that automatic switching does not work well. The reason why I chose cutting is because it was the first device that gave me the good picture and sound quality with my AppleTV, the Xbox 360 and the PS4. (Don't ask!)
