Set Up AirPlay

To set up AirPlay, open AirPort Utility and edit your AirPort Express’s

configuration. Click or tap the AirPlay button to see the AirPlay view

(the Mac version is shown in Figure 64).

Figure 64: You can set a few AirPlay options.

Ensure that the Enable AirPlay checkbox is selected, and name your

AirPlay speakers. The name appears in the Mac’s remote speaker

list and in the AirPlay list in iOS. You can set a password to limit use

of this speaker set to people who have the password. Click Update to

apply changes.

Play Any Audio from OS X

To stream audio from your Mac to an AirPlay device, open the Sound

pane in System Preferences, click the Output button, and select an

AirPlay option from the list of output choices—look for an AirPlay

designation in the Type column. If a password is set, you are prompted

to enter it. The volume on your computer controls the remote volume.

Tip: You can switch your Mac’s audio output to a different device

(including an AirPort Express) by pressing Option while you open the

Sound menu on the menu bar and then choosing the desired device.
