airport express problem

[patnevang]

Hi,
I have an airport express that I just use to play music wirelessly through my stereo from iTunes on my iMac. However this seems to have stopped working. The green light remains illuminated and the computer believes its connected but no music comes out. If I switch and use Airtunes through iPhone the airport express works fine.

When connected through the mac it will play for a few seconds then nothing.

Hope someone can help. I have tried resetting the airport express.

My guess would be that the iMac isn't able to keep a firm signal and is dropping the connection.

If you hold down the Option key and Select the AirPort (WiFi) menu, you will see additional information what Transmit Rate: are you getting?

thanks for response I can't seem to find the transmit rate can you explain again how I can find it?

On the iMac, there is the WiFi menu, (if its enabled) top right corner, looks like beams radiating out, or sneaky window wiper blades;-) If its there hold down the Option key and press and hold on the menu.

Thanks the transmit rate seems to be a steady 18.
