"Town"
I'm tearing my hair out here. I use Airplay once, everything is fine. A few days later I want to use it again and only video plays on my apple tv. I have to restart in order to make it all work again. This cannot seriously be the accepted method for Airplay. If I hold down Option and click on the volume controls in the menu bar it show internal speakers selected. I click on my apple tv, the menu goes away and nothing changes, I click again and it still has internal speakers selected. I've tried changing this in the settings pane but the same result. It's like it's telling me "no" which I don't take well. Is anyone else having this issue? Is there a fix? Please don't tell me I have to restart every damn time I want to use Airplay because that is ridiculous.

I have a 2011 MBA and a 2nd gen apple tv (new version but only 720p)

Thank you for your help and attention. :)
