If your music unexpectedly stops
If your music stops playing unexpectedly, use your device or Siri to start playing music again. In some situations, the Home app may be using your HomePod,* Apple TV or AirPlay-compatible speaker as the main audio source for streaming music (even if your HomePod* or Apple TV isn’t currently playing music). Using Siri on that device or performing another task may cause playback to stop everywhere. You can also use an iOS device or computer with iTunes as an audio source to stream music manually instead.
If you see video but can't hear audio
If you can't hear audio when streaming video from your iOS device or Mac to your Apple TV, make sure the volume has been turned up and isn't muted on both your iOS device and your television or receiver.
If you're streaming video from an iPhone or iPad, check the Ring/Silent switch. If it's set to silent, you'll see an orange line. Toggle the switch to turn on the ringer.
If your content gets interrupted or your network is lagging
If you have a weak Wi-Fi signal or are suffering interference from a nearby device, such as a microwave or baby monitor, try the following:
- Make sure you use the recommended settings for your Wi-Fi router.
- Move or turn off any other devices that may cause interference.
- If you're trying to AirPlay to Apple TV, try connecting your Apple TV directly to your router with an Ethernet cable instead of using Wi-Fi.
