Fix Apple TV No Sound Issue – AppleTV2
Posted by jpluimers on 2017/08/04
The first method I try for any Apple TV issue is to reset the device (Hold the Play & Menu button simultaneously on the remote for 6 seconds)

This usually works for me too and is easier/faster than fiddling with the solutions mentioned at Wayback: Apple TV: HDMI audio stops working – Apple Support (which now has moved to [Wayback] Get help with audio, video, or power on Apple TV – Apple Support).
After releasing Play&Menu buttons, wait for the Apple TV to reboot itself and listen if your remote-buttons will give you audio-feedback from the Apple TV. If that works, then audio on multi-media works fine too.
This is way cheaper than putting additional hardware in the HDMI chain as described in [Wayback] The fix for AppleTV HDMI audio and video woes and HDMI problem solving | The Poor Audiophile
In my setup the [Wayback] Apple TV 3rd generation is hooked up to a [Wayback] Harman Kardon BDS 580 receiver/blue-ray-player.
