airplay 2

So, I thought that Catalina was supposed to bring AirPlay 2 support to MacOS. Yet, when I look at audio outputs from my iMac, I only see one of my paired HomePods. Am I missing something obvious?

I’ve been trying to use the new Audio Sharing feature in Beta 8 and can’t get it to work. I’ve got to the stage where I have 2 sets of AirPods showing as connected in Bluetooth settings When I click on the Airplay button in Control Center both are listed but only one is ticked. When I click...

I have several iTunes movies available in 4K HDR, however I don’t have a screen to play them on. My friends have a 4K tv which will be getting the Airplay 2 update. So while I know my iPhone 7 can’t play 4K HDR movies, I was wondering if it’d be possible to Airplay them to my friend’s tv. Does...

Extremely curious to see how (or if) this is handled. I'm aware the Apple TV can play audio to HomePod so it seemed reasonable that newly supporting TV's might as well.

With the current news of the AirPlay 2 and HomeKit coming to support specific Sony 2019 TV models, will AirPlay 2 and HomeKit be support the 2018 XBR F models? I just bought a 2018 75" X900F model. I have 15 days left before I can return. I would like to know here soon before making a...

I've just bought a new Denon (CD and DAB (Satellite) receiver) and currently stream using an old AirPort Express which is not of course AirPlay 2 compatible. What's my best (and cheapest )option for adding AirPlay 2 to existing equipment? Can I output via an Apple TV to a stereo? I don't want...

I am currently using 4 older Airport Express devices, the older ones shaped like a Chiclet, to stream music throughout my house from a PC using Airfoil. I stream music from Tidal, Amazon Music and music files on the computer and a NAS. I would like to replace using the PC/Airfoil and get a...

My First MacRumors poll, apologies if someone posted similar. In the UK you can get a HomePod for £300 a Sonos One costs £199, there was an offer for 2 Ones for £360 but couldn’t find that offer any more. No way I can afford £600 for a stereo and if I’m honest I can’t afford £400. If cost wasn’t...

Problem: iPhone 6 (full updated) can connect to one set of speakers only - not multiroom as expected with new airplay2. Speakers in house is actually working as multiroom, when music is streamed from a MacBookPro. The iPhone sees the same speakers as MBP and can connect to them independently...

I'm setting up 2 speaker locations in my home. One in my "Living Room" and another in my "Study". Both are utilizing ATV4's as the Airplay 2 devices. In both locations, I am using HDMI audio extractors off the ATV4's and running the digital signal only through 2 Cambridge DAC's in each...

(This is a slightly modified cross-post from the AirPort Express AirPlay 2 news thread.) I don't know about everyone else, but it's taken me a while to fully piece together what the AirPlay 2 ecosystem can really do and how we're supposed to use it. The promise of AirPlay 2 is multi-room...

So, I have my Apple TV (4th gen) set up in HomeKit in my living room. Then I have my old Airport Express set up with some speakers plugged in in the dining room. When I say, "Hey, Siri, play Bruce Springsteen on all speakers," music comes out of the dining room speaker, but not the Apple TV...

Have Public Beta 5 installed on my iPhone X. 11.4.1 on my HomePod (since no PB there). My question: Is anyone else experiencing random Airplay 2 audio dropouts on the HomePod in a similar setup? For me, in different apps, the audio will just go silent for a few seconds and come back. No...

I was extremely excited to update my Sonos system today after I read that the new 9.0 update was bringing AirPlay to Sonos finally! I currently own two Ones, two Play:1s, a Playbar, a Sub, and three HomePods. This update meant I could finally use my HomePods and Sonos system as one, cohesive...

Ok so since I don't have an Apple TV myself, I'd like to ask if someone with an Apple TV and two (or even just one) HomePod can confirm whether or not the following is possible. I know that you can stream audio to a Stereo HomePod pair from an Apple TV 4th and 5th generation via AirPlay 2, and...

hello everyone, i'm interested, if Airplay 2 is implemented in Mojave. We now have it on iOS 11.4 and tvOS, but not on mac os 11.13.5 Thanks a lot

Anybody else seeing iOS devices automatically disconnect AirPlay audio from their AirPort Express on their own? Ever since the 11.4 update, it stays connected to the AEBS while audio is playing, but if leave it for 10 minutes after it stops, and it defaults back to playing through the iPad's...

Airplay 2 has introduced multiroom streaming and some better (read more stable) streaming, hopefully resulting in fewer dropouts etc. All this multiroom stuff is nice of course, but nowhere have I seen any tech specs on Airplay 2, what I am interested in is if the quality of the audio format...

Great to see Airplay 2 finally launched today! Anyone else getting some pretty noticeable latency between airplay speakers? I'm using a Homepod and Apple TV? Any thoughts on a workaround or fix?

Did you know that you can connect your iPhone to 2 Bluetooth speaker at once. I’m not able to stream to both speaker at once. I’m on 11.1 maybe it’s possible with iOS 11.3 with AirPlay 2 feature
