Can not select Airplay Device in OSX

Solution 1:

There is command line solution that I've found in Mac Rumors

sudo kill `ps -ax | grep 'coreaudiod' | grep 'sbin' |awk '{print $1}'`

Which can assigned to an alias:

alias fixairplay="sudo kill `ps -ax | grep 'coreaudiod' | grep 'sbin' |awk '{print $1}'`"

Then this command fixes the issue:

fixairplay

Solution 2:

What you need to do is to restart the coreaudio deamon (coreaudiod). Open up the terminal and run sudo killall coreaudiod. As simple as that.

Then if you're having a difficult time memorizing the above, you can add the following line to ~/.bash_profile

alias fixairplay='sudo killall coreaudiod'

From now on you can just use the alias fixairplay.
