airplay 2

Hi, I'm using the new Apple TV with my projector and then using airplay to stream the audio to Sonos. It works quite well most of the time, but the audio is lagging a little bit and I'm curious to explore the built-in possibility to calibrate the sound so it syncs, but funnily when I press the...

Hi everyone, I purchased a cheap A1392 Airport Express 2. It supports AirPlay 2. Great! But, does it send Dolby Digitial 5.1 (as least) over toslink? If any know, thanks for looking and replying :)

Hi folks- I spent awhile trying to figure out issues with sending audio from my Music app on Big Sur to my HomePods. I'm posting this just to add to the list of troubleshooting steps, as I couldn't find the resolution anywhere (just in case anyone needs this). :) Story: My MacPro 5,1 Westmere...

Nerdy question here. I've got a pair of OG HomePods which get balky when I try to make a stereo pair. I'd like some help in understanding why. I suspect that I'm just in a noisy environment, but I'm wondering. Both my WiFi router and the Mac mini I'm using as my media center (just audio) are...

Hi guys, Me and my family are Apple persons and we only have iPhones and Macs at home. Also, all of our TVs carry built in AirPlay 2 (we have Samsung’s Q60 and R7100 series). On the other hand, I have a Chromecast Ultra 4K that has been lying around since I got those TVs and have received...

My initial excitement for this device has quickly turned to massive disappointment. My Soundform Connect arrived today, and it has been one frustration after another. Quick aside, the device itself is far smaller than I imagined from online images. It’s quite compact, which was a pleasant...

If I have a HomePod or HomePod mini paired to an Apple TV, can I play music through airplay from my phone, while whatever video I'm watching on the TV is muted, or will the speaker not allow that? Just need to know whether I'll need a separate speaker for that. Thank you very much.

Hey everyone! I've been a longtime Macrumors reader, but haven't posted much. Figured I'd share a project I did recently (and hope this is in the right sub!). I saw the iPod Hifi a couple years ago in person and became slightly obsessed, both with the design and the sound quality. I went on a...

Hi, I apologize if this has been discussed but I didn't see a thread on it. I'm having sync issues between my 2 Apple TVs (4k model) and other airplay 2 targets, including my 2 HomePods. Essentially, the HomePods and other speakers are late compared to the Apple TVs sound. In other words, the...

Tried to AirPlay the Apple Fitness+ content to my 2020 Sony TV that has airplay 2 and is HomeKit compatible. The TV is not showing as a airplay display when launching a fitness video. If I enable screen mirroring before launching a workout I get right up to the start page and then the screen on...

I have this ATV3 that I use in my home office *only* to stream via airplay audio/video to a non-4K TV with a soundbar. typical use is airplaying Spotify or AppleMusic from an iPad or use TV as 3rd monitor for my iMac (2nd monitor via thunderbolt). especially in this latest scenario I often...

Hi all, I hope this is the right subforum. I am looking for a hardware based AirPlay 2 capable transmitter. This is wha t I want to achieve: I have a Panasonic TV with optical and analog outputs. Further, I have Sonos Five (2. gen) AirPlay 2 capable music box. I want to use the Sonos as...

I recently bought a Denon AVR-X1600H receiver for my son as I wanted him to be able to use Airplay 2 to stream music from his phone. This all works perfectly and is also great for when he has friends round with iPhones they too can stream music. A strange thing has happened however in that one...

Hello! I have two outdoor, weather-resistant speakers. I am looking for an amplifier to power them for music. What I want: - AirPlay 2 control / HomeKit support - Amazon Alexa control - Volume control from iOS Device (ideally integrated with AirPlay) In the average use case, I'll use the...

Hello, I've just finished setting up my HomePod. Everything works fine, except when I try to use it as an AirPlay speaker from the Music app on my Mac. It keeps telling me that "only people who share a home in the Home app can control this speaker" (my translation, don't know if that's the...

Hi, my iPhone 11 Pro always showing this 2 iPhone icon on the Audio under AirPlay. My another iPhone doesn’t have this. Both using same wifi connection but I don’t think it’s related. When I click the other iPhone icon, the 1st one will disappear. Please see the photo attached. Anyone knows...

I'm not certain if this relates to the firmware on iPadOS/iOS 13 or HomePod, but I used to be able to airplay just audio to my HomePod and watch video on my iPad Pro 11 or iPhone 11 Pro. Now if I use any app: Spectrum, Infuse Pro, Apple TV+, anytime I select one of my HomePod's to play just the...

I have two Homepods that are setup as a pair In the Home App, they show as a pair. But when in Music or Podcast and I hit Airplay, they don’t show as a pair (I see each individually). Any ideas how to correct this?

I have the latest gen Airport Express plugged into powered speakers. My MacBook Air is able to send audio to those speakers without ever failing to connect. 100% success rate. On iOS/iPadOS, however, it has a mind of its own and connects when it wants to. Fails many, many times. Often I have to...
