I have a new TV that is connected to the internet through my wireless network. I was also hoping I would be able to connect to separate speakers through my wireless network. I have Apple TV working and have the audio from Apple TV coming from my speakers. I'm unsure what to try next. When I navigate on the TV to Settings : Sound : Sound Out, the option for LG Sound Sync (Wireless) is greyed out.
Any help would be appreciated. I tried LG's online chat help but they don't answer.

Wireless stuff is always the hardest shit to set up.

I have some decent. speakers already. I think my next movie is to shoot a USB cable directly from my Airport Express to the TV and see if that gets me anywhere.

All you need are AirPlay receivers for each set of speakers. Then you control what audio goes to which receiver. This is entirely separate from your LG television.
Most importantly, you need to articulate your issue more clearly. What do you want to achieve exactly? Obviously you can send audio through the Apple TV and your Airport Express wirelessly right now, so those are two setups done. What's the problem?

i have just bought a 4k tv and ps4 pro, i am ok with tv tech, just not totally clued up with whether i need a soundbar, soundbase, active speakers etc, or which are any good...
i have bought a sony xe90 49 inch tv....
i dont have a massive front room and its an odd shape, so floor standind passive or active speakers arent really an option...
- you're limited to a quality sound bar/base or (active) bookshelf speakers if there's even a place for themmonospaced

Stupid question but that's the only reason why i never changed to wireless:
Can I stream DTS/Dolby Digital to wireless?
Bit more deeper into the question:
These receivers can handle wireless x-channel bit-stream format?- *to wireless receiverssted
- Dolby Digital does stream wirelessly, yes, but you would need a decoder (A/V receiver) to separate and send the channels to each speaker stillmonospaced
- I stream from my computer to my receiver with full DD5.1 sound regularly on a Plex server and from Netflix, rentals, etc.monospaced
- oh cool, bit confused why you say that i
need a receiver to separate the channels :) that would be the point to use a dts/dolby capable receiver with wifi :)sted - some people think they can stream to wireless speakers without a decodermonospaced

@sted
You can use any A/V receiver wirelessly as long as it has HDMI inputs and you use a streaming device, like a Roku or Apple TV or Chromecast. Those accept and deliver 5.1 to your receiver and act as a wireless hub for content, and the receiver does the decoding/amplifying. The receiver doesn't have to be wireless, basically, to have wireless capabilities for home theater.
- ah I see, great idea, never thought about this, thanks :)sted

I got this one:
Sony HTCT260H Sound Bar with Wireless SubwooferBut no TV, I have an HD projector instead. Never going back to tv again. Sound is pretty good. Blutooth can be buggy sometimes, it won't connect properly or will take a few tries to do it.
every time you turn it on, itunes opens up, which I HATE.
So I found a website that shows you how to remove iTunes for good, but now when I turn on the bar, a window pops up asking me where is iTunes located hahaOther than that, the buggy-ness is outweighed by the convenience of not having to deal with cables (in my opinion)

- 2k?sted
- just about
$1,400 for bar & sub
$400 for 2 surround speakers.
The setup is easy and I never had any issues.Ramanisky2 - damn, my yamaha monitors and sub cost less than that. why so pricey?Miguex
- The sound is fucking amazing.
solid quality.Ramanisky2 - Each speaker is a standalone wireless complete speaker by itself, none of which is used during proper 5.1 use though.monospaced
- the Sonos App lets you separate the sound on all the speakersRamanisky2
- Yup. Tons of circuitry. Each speaker is amped. Just explaining the added cost.monospaced
- Ahh gotchaRamanisky2
