hi,
i have regular computer speakers plugged into my airport express router, and play music via airplay from my iphone and macbook pro.
i usually select airplay on my macbook pro by holding alt and clicking the volume icon in the status bar, and selecting my airport express.
sometimes this doesn't work, and my selection won't stick. and instead of restarting and interrupting my wifi each time, i found from a number of google search results, including here on macrumors, to use these codes in terminal:
sudo killall coreaudiod
and
sudo kill `ps -ax | grep 'coreaudiod' | grep 'sbin' |awk '{print $1}'`
and they seemed to work, but now a day later, i can connect to the airport, but no audio is coming out of the speakers... neither from my laptop nor iphone.
i have tried rebooting the computer, and unplugging the router for 30s... and tested the speakers to be working when hard wired. still no luck on the airport express airplay, which did work before i tried the codes.
any thoughts?
thanks,
