As I understand it, the audio that results from itunes video is transmitted differently and I believe also from my reading in a format tha cannot be transmitted through airtunes. I have not tried it with snow leopard.

I'm saying that the channels are not there. On Sep 3, 2009, at 11:03 AM, Chris Hofstader wrote:The Airport Express is a relatively "dumb" piece of hardware. The sound transformations are done by iTunes (a very smart application) which turns all sound into unpacked wave data and sends the wave off to either the local computer hardware or to an Airport or some other sound bridge device. The Airport Express shouldn't know what sort of data it is receiving but, rather, it should just play it as a wave is a wave is a wave.Maybe SurroundSound decoding causes a problem for it? It shouldn't but Dolby has been known to make a mess now and then with hardware that isn't expecting it but, for the most part, Dolby encoding is easily ignored.Happy Hacking, cdh On Sep 3, 2009, at 10:42 AM, David Poehlman wrote:because it is not built for it.

Someone posted that updating the firmware makes this possible. Following David's instructions, I went to the Airport Utility, selected my AE, typed in the password and found the Update button to be greyed and I'm still not getting movie sound from my iMac (I haven't put SL on there yet but I'm pretty sure I'm running the latest iTunes).Any ideas?
