It’s a sound bar. It’s a device that can connect either to a TV or be alone and usually has two speakers on it. It’s used to connect items. Some have HDMI and some have HDMI and optical connections. Some even have a place to hook in a stereo cable like how I have my Sirius satellite radio co

What is a sounder? I have a second generation Apple TV. I have a HDMI cable connected from the Apple TV to the TV and an optical audio cable connected from the Apple TV to a Bose SR1 soundbar. Audio only media such as iRadio and media air played from my iPhone works great with the TV powered o

Hi Scott, Well, forgoing the whole TV thing is definitely not possible here. I have a cited husband who would not be happy. Besides, I thought you needed the HDMI something to do with the video, before you could do things like watch Netflix. Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 23, 2014, at 5:20 PM, Sc

Hi, I have the Apple TV 2 and have no issues like this when streaming music or HD media either directly from my computer or from Apple using HDMI. As long as your Internet connection is good, the WiFi Access Point is working normally and you’re playing properly formatted media, there should no

Which AppleTV do you have, Scott? The second or third generation one? Someone suggested that the latency problem is less or nonexistent with the more recent model. Someone else said they still had choppiness. So I decided to go for the analog out on my TV to the analog in on my sound bar. Mary

no, I don't even know if this TV has a headphone jack. And my experience with headphone jacks is that the audio out leaves a lot to be desired. I am using the analog out from the TV and the voiceover problem is solved. Mary Sent from my iPhone > On Dec 23, 2014, at 2:06 PM, Robert Cole wrote:

You don't have to do anything but just connect the HDMI cable. When you do that, the HDMI carries both the audio and the video through the same cable. Sincerely, The Constantly barefooted Ray, Still a very happy Mac, Verizon Wireless iPhone 6+ and Apple TV user! Sent from my iPhone, the only sm

I would love to be able to do the audio and video through a single cable and still be able to use good speakers. How can one do that? In both of my scenarios, I have had to use the digital optical cable, in order to avoid using the horrible TV speakers. How can that be done with just the HDMI? M

Hi, The apple tv itself has an optical output, but i think you need to purchase the cable for it directly from apple. On the other hand, I have an apple tv approximately one year old and its choppy both with VO and movies through my tv’s speakers. It just started after the last apple tv software

Hi all, I have an older Apple TV, the first model that had voiceover. I have it connected to a TV through HDMI. It works fine through the internal lousy TV speakers. When I connect my sound bar to the TV using the TV optical output from the TV to my sound bar, voiceover becomes very choppy and
