Apple TV over Airplay


hello!

have number of issues apple tv 3, using mbpr 15" (late 2013) , iphone 6.

first , foremost, i've been using apple tv exclusively in order stream music speakers computer or smartphone using airplay. apple tv has been connected through either ethernet or wifi, no difference there.

problems follows:
1) when streaming sound (any source) macbook apple tv through airplay, sound tends choppy , laggy, @ irregular intervals. not occur when streaming iphone.

2) [solved] when connecting monitor using hdmi while still leaving speakers connected through optical output, sound quality (any source) goes down '95s laptop quality. unplug hdmi , recovers.

3) apple remote no longer allow me change song using arrow keys, instead hear sound of browsing through menu.

4) apple tv goes in sleep mode while streaming, @ seemingly random occasions.


i've tried enlightening myself through google, little luck. these issues have been there since time of purchase. have used both 10.9 , 10.10 on macbook since.

details on apple tv:

model: a1469
apple tv software: 7.0.2 (6915)

ideas? please ask if need further details. :)

yours-
cressell

edit: found main problem already. apple tv streaming sound both monitor , speakers, monitor standing in front of speakers it's '95 laptop style speakers making sound horrible. doh :)
 

3. if you're using airplay sound output on mac, won't able control songs remote. works when sending directly itunes since there active program send commands to, whole system audio can't figure out.
---to fix @ airfoil lets pick 1 program send audio that. airfoil has apple scripting built in, if has pre-bulit controls lot of popular 3rd party sound apps (like rdio or musicbox (for pandora)) , if it's not supported, if you're familiar applescript can pretty implement own controls.
*one small note, sound delayed couple seconds, won't work sending audio needs match video.

#1 - happen when sending itunes, or if use airplay sound output.
