    Can't get apple tv (2021) audio sync to work using Airplay2

    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...

    5.1 from Airport Express 2 / AirPlay 2 possible?

    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 :)

    HomePod Nerdy question about AirPlay2 and HomePod

    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...

    Belkin Soundform Connect frustrations

    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...

    Listening to music while using Apple TV

    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.

    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.

    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.

    All Devices AirPlay to HomePod from iPad/iPhone No Longer Plays Just Sound

    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.

    iPhone AirPlay fails on iOS/iPadOS, works flawlessly on MacOS. Ideas?

    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...
