Avast Firewall Preventing AirPlay

IandeBures · 2017-10-29T19:29:35.000Z

This issue - my being unable to use Airplay to direct iTunes through to my Minx 200 speaker - has come up before but I’ve been able to rectify it by disabling Avast AV Firewall and enabling Windows Defender.

Windows 10 (to which I was introduced today) won’t allow me to enable Windows Defender because it believes Avast already has a firewall in place. This is despite the fact that I have uninstalled the Avast firewall component on the understanding that it would allow me to enable Windows Defender.

So if I want to play music through my Minx 200 I will have to make do without a firewall in place.

Any suggested solutions?

I gather that there is a way to configure the Avast firewall so that it will allow the iTunes music to flow through to the Mix 200 speaker, but can someone help me as a novice with guidance on how that can be achieved?

Thanks.

Windows defender and windows firewall is not the same thing

Is your Firewall mode set to Private and have you enabled Internet Connection Sharing mode via Settings > Firewall?
