Re: No sound using Apple Airplay on Roku Express 3960X

  • Checked the volume was up on TV 
  • Checked TV wasn't muted
  • Confirmed Airplay is set up
  • Confirmed device connect is enabled
  • Restarted devices
  • Roku system restart
  • Changed Digital output format to stereo (was set to auto - and I reset it to auto)
  • Tried all preferred audio streaming formats  (Dolby, DTS, auto)

It must be the device because I don't have any issues with Airplay on the other roku (Expres 3930X) I have that's attached to another TV nor did I have problem with the Roku I had before this one. (I bought this one a few months ago and the audio never worked with Airplay from day 1.)

Re: No sound when using AirPlay

Thank you, it worked after I rebooted the Roku stick on an old LG tv made in 2007.

Re: No sound when using AirPlay

Thanks. The problem came back & I saw your post. It worked when I sound level to “Off” instead of “Leveling” or “Night”.

When can I roughly expect to hear from you? Another week? 6 months?

Re: No sound using Apple Airplay on Roku Express 3960X

I have this same problem using Apple AirPlay on Roku 4K Streaming Stick 3820X.  Using AirPlay to cast from my MacBook Pro A2442 to an old Mitsubishi dumb TV, I get no sound even though the video works fine.  Sound checks have been done on both the MacBook and the TV and work fine on both devices except during AirPlay.  No amount of troubleshooting has resolved this problem.  Please advise.

Re: No sound using Apple Airplay on Roku Express 3960X

I solved this problem on my setup by selecting a streaming program with the remote the hitting the star/asterisk button on my Roku Express controller and selecting the choice of turning OFF Sound Leveling. After that and since, I have had no problem streaming from a USB disk in my MacAir (OS Monterey) to my LG TV linked by ARC to an Onkyo receiver.
