Apple Music Airplay on Windows 11 problem

Since AirPlay speakers appear in Apple Music for Windows but produce no sound, the connection may be getting detected while audio playback is failing. Reinstalling the AirPods and restarting the router may not address the issue if it’s specific to the Apple Music app.

Try these steps:

1. Test another audio source by playing something through the same AirPlay speakers from another device. This helps determine whether the issue is Apple Music on Windows or the speakers/network.
2. In Apple Music, switch the audio output back to your PC, play a song, and confirm sound works locally before selecting the AirPlay speaker again.
3. Check that Apple Music and Windows are up to date, then fully close and reopen Apple Music.
4. If you use a VPN or third-party firewall, temporarily check whether it is interfering with local network communication. Make sure Apple Music is allowed through the firewall on your private network.

5. If it still fails, try selecting one speaker at a time rather than multiple speakers, and check whether the same AirPlay destination works from another Apple device.

Well what do you know....

The update for IOS devices 27.2 and Homepod speakers that just released and installed this morning fixed the problem.

Hello

thank you for the reply.

The AirPod speakers work fine with my iPhone. I think it’s something related to windows 11 update, it just won’t allow music to play and yes they do show the speakers on airplay through Apple Music app.

everything is up to date, nothing changed all these years besides windows 11 update
