I don't have money for new tech or headphones. I want to watch a movie from my laptop via AirPlay (watch a movie straight from Apple TV), but hear the sound on my headphones attached to my MB Air.

Is there any way to do this??

    @CanadianLuke He was right to ask a new question and delete his old one that was already trashed with two downvotes and 4 votes to close. It's not a dup if the new question solves the XY problem by asking the underlying X instead of the misguided Y, as this does. – Spiff Dec 17 '14 at 18:21

  • Could you clarify what you mean by "watch a movie from my laptop via AirPlay (watch a movie straight from Apple TV)". Those seem like 2 different things. Do you want to start the movie on your MB and AirPlay it to the ATV? If so, audio will be re-routed to the ATV too. There is an option in ATV somewhere to route the audio to another Airplay device. Note that MB's are NOT an Airplay device (they are a source). You could use video-mirroring (if your MB supports) to send the video to the ATV, and I think you can leave the audio on the MB in this scenario. – jimtut Dec 18 '14 at 18:13
  • they are not two different things. You can mirror or extend your mac display via Airplay. Which means you can play a movie on you mac (YouTube, Netflix, local movie file) and have it displayed on your tv. When you mirror/extend your display, your audio also goes through Airplay. – N.Hale Dec 19 '14 at 01:29
  • My question stands the same. How do send video via Airplay, yet leave your sound to your mac? – N.Hale Dec 19 '14 at 01:34
  • You could use the app called Airparrot. – bret7600 Feb 12 '15 at 15:40
