Audio dropouts on Satellite P100

I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite P100 PSPADE.
OS: Win XP Professional
Connected equipment: MOTU 828MKII Firewire or Terratec DMX 6Fire USB.
In both situations, audio dropouts occur, using Cubase SX3.
I already disabled some elements in the Manager of hardware devices, such as:
-Microsoft AC adapter
-Control compliant ACPI Microsoft method battery
-Network adapters
-Bluetooth device
-Sound controller
- ...
Only the devices battery generated many audio dropouts, which are now reduced by disabeling the drivers.
Nevertheless, sporadic abandonment occur always.
Although, Terratec, and MOTU audio devices using the maximum buffersize, increasing latency, but reducing the school drop-outs, audio drop outs occur.
Reading a few articles, I came to the feature 'gas CPU"of the Toshiba laptops, which might be responsible for these audio dropouts.
The articles mention that he is a non-configurable feature of Toshiba.
Audio dropouts seem to occure synchronous with the activation of the fan.
To contol the latency, I use "DPC latency Check" program, which generates a bar graph.
The peaks of bar-graph each time that the fan turns on and at the same time, a stall audio is heard.
Is there a solution to the problem of audio dropout?

Hello

There were MANY discussions on this subject, especially with your machine. Many users tried different solutions such as remove things from the device manager like you did already.

In General, editing music with a laptop are not really optimal. For example:

I have a computer of office machine with a Pentium 4 2.8/1 GB RAM/WD Raptor/ESI Juli @ and I also work with Cubase SX3. There is NO problem with the latency (latency DPC latencies around 15-30 microsec Watch).

I tried to make some changes on my Tecra A9 which has a Dual-Core, 2 GB of RAM, a HARD drive with 7200 RPM with XP on it, etc... and at the beginning I had many heavy withdrawals.

But after a search of this forum and a few other sites, Ive created a small tutorial:

1. services:

For Windows XP: Please visit the following site: http://www.blackviper.com/WinXP/winxp.htm
and apply the configuration of services twisted.

For Vista: Go to this site-> http://www.blackviper.com/WinVista/Services/ and see the following:
-Configurations of Viper black Windows Vista SP1 Service-> twisted
-Super Tweaks

-In addition the client must disbale the service "smart card"!

2 disable the following devices:

-Compatible control method battery ACPI Microsoft
-Intel ICH8M Ultra ATA Storage Controllers (including the optical disc drive)
-Ethernet and Wifi
-Storage-> Microsoft iSCSI initiator controllers
SD card controller

3 disable the powermanagement features:

-In 'Device Manager' option to allow the computer to turn off this
all "USB root hubs" should be unchecked
-Create a separate powerplan who can be named 'Maximum' and put EVERYTHING
maximum (disable these features like 'sleep' and 'sleep')

4. run the application 'msconfig' (internal tool of windows) and remove all the
unneded services and applications in the startup list, which could include
some tools Toshiba as "configfree" "flashcards" etc., but at YOUR OWN RISK!

5. as you have more network connections, you can also disable all
services such as "Windows Defender", "Windows Firewall", "security policies."
etc. which contains a large number of resources!

6. I recommend to keep all the drivers including BIOS update. You can use
drivers of Intel on the chipset/storage controller/graphic chipset
which most are more recent so our pilots.

-> Below only for Vista!
7. at least, you must disable this thing together graphic Vista as
«Aero, "Windows Sidebar", etc., and switch to the Vista Basic theme.» The window
Manager themes Vista is necessary and a LOT of resources that offers more
resources for applications and results also in a latency time reduced.

8. check the Web site of the manufacturers on the updates support for the device that is in use! (which means the sound card ;))

It could be that useful...

Welcome them

  • Sound does not work after updating the Audio driver on Satellite P100-248

    After an optional update to the audio driver in my Toshiba Satellite P100-248 conexant high definition, there's not more solid. I know it's the driver who caused the problem because it back to the windows generec driver and a reboot resolved the probem the first time around. Recently I had problems with my microphone so I was looking for a newer driver and installed upgrading the driver again by mistake.

    Now the noise disappeared again and I don't want to go back to the generic driver, but I can't find the conexant driver appropriate through Toshiba because the socket driver does not list my model. I tried a few of the drivers for the other models of the P series, but without success. Any ideas where I can find my driver? I'm on Vista 32 bit SP1.

    > but I can't find the conexant driver appropriate through Toshiba because the socket driver does not list my model.
    Hmm... Satellite P100-248 belongs to the PSPAGE series and this series of mobile is listed on the European Toshiba driver page sp I t really know what you're talking about.

    You will find also all the Vista drivers available on this page.
    I would say, download the audio driver and install it.

    Anyone know where I can get the 64-bit drivers for my P100? The toshiba downloads section doesn't seem to provide 64-bit drivers either.

    Hello

    I Don t think that toshiba will release 64-bit drivers for their machines because they didn t release a machine with a 64-bit windows.

    But if you know what sound card is installed (for example a realtek) then go to the website of the manufacturer of the audiodevice and try it, you may have little chance.

  • Audio jumpy on Satellite P100-347

    Hello

    I just bought this laptop and I am very disappointed that I can't get the audio to work correctly. I have been using various media (windows media, foobar, winamp player) players and every now and again the sound will jump a little. I noticed when just using the built-in speakers and when you use the optical output connected to an amplifier. Anyone has any idea why?

    I'm also very upset that I can't work sound surround sound in games such as CounterStrike Source. I tried several times (I selected 5.1 surround in the sounds of windows control panel), but I can't make it work. I'm guessing it's because you must be able to select SP/DIF output in the sound source and the games I have tried do not have this option.

    Is there a way to get around this?

    Thank you
    David

    Hello David

    It is not easy to say what can be the reason of his jump, but especially it can happen if the CPU load is from time to time the Max level try to unplug the unit to connect to the local network and stop any antivir application you use.

    I noticed that certain activities of CPU load antivir request maximally and to cause that music can be interrupted. Check also if sometimes bucking when playing DVD movies.

    You didn't describe how you try to use 5.1 surround, but I hope that you have home theater and try to connect with the optical cable using S/PDIF optical [headset]. Am I wrong?

    Hey,.

    The problem is hat for Windows Vista 64-bit or Windows 7 64-bit are drivers available for your laptop model. I checked this on the official website of Toshiba:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    According to the Toshiba page your laptop has audio chip Conexant
    But Conexant doesn t provide drivers directly then you will have to check again the Web from Toshiba site

    I discovered that the Satellite P300 also has card his Conexant and there is a driver for Windows 7 64-bit available. In my opinion, you should try the audio driver for Satellite P300. Theoretically, this should work. ;)

  • Driver Conexant HD Audio - Satellite P100 PSPA3C Win XP problem

    I have a Satellite P100 PSPA3C MA202C.

    I found on the Web from Toshiba site a new Conexant HD Audio 3.44.0.0 driver version for my laptop (Windows XP, 3 GB of RAM)
    and had the bad idea to install it. After installation, the sound is terrible Crackle and interruptions.
    including the sound of Windows boot at startup, when you first open during playback and audio files.
    When a UC program gets started.
    It's never happened before.

    I acknowledge that during installation, I received a message from the system
    warning that this driver is not signed as having managed the "Windows logo test '.

    However, the same situation stands for previous versions of site Web from Toshiba, like 3.21.0.52, who gave the same problems.
    Then I wanted to let Windows choose the right driver, but it turns
    "Microsoft function driver UAA for HD Audio Conexant Waikiki" which provides its own, but has no audio in (microphone).

    So now I'm stuck with the crackling and interruptions of Conexant, or with Waikiki have no microphone.

    It's strange, because the initial configuration worked well. Unfortunately, I do not know how to restore the original configuration,
    It is not written anywhere, that the system cannot understand itself and of the restoration came with the computer dvd
    only allow for a radical total restoration of the status of the day of sale, which is not acceptable.

    What a disappointing experience!

    Can someone help, please?

    Hello!

    S DVD supplied with the computer are called recovery disks and it's the way to return to the factory settings.
    The disc contains the Windows preinstalled with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

    I know it's strange, but in my opinion, there is no other way to solve this problem. So back up your data first HARD drive will be completely formatted.

    Another problem is that sometimes my audio quality is really bad, you can hear the sound Crackle not even at high volume, internal or external speaker. I tried to restore the couple machine time. Nothing has worked so far.

    my model is Satellite P100 - 240 PSPA3E. Windows MCE

    I guess you have an its installed realtek card. If so, then go to www.realtek.com.tw, download the latest driver for Realtek HD audio and install the driver after removing the sounddrivers of Toshiba.

    After that, you should also have a control panel that is accessible trough the "Control Panel".
    Here, you can set all the settings on your sound card.

  • Audio problems when playing and the screen fades on Satellite P100-160

    Hi, I bought a new Toshiba Satellite P100-160 of Currys today.
    I bought it for the primary purpose of the use of broadcast software OtsAV playing at live concerts between shows.
    Any audio device I play glitches in places if I use OtsAv or Windows Media Player. It is not constant, but there's something not quite right with her.

    I also noticed that the screen will dim sometimes, then clear up again without reason apparent.

    Any ideas what the problem may be?

    It happens when the fan starts and stops?

    If so join the club, but do not expect to fix

    Help, please.

    Hello

    Well, you have installed from the original CD of Microsoft windows and then all the drivers of Toshiba.
    The fact is that, after the installation of operating system, the Toshiba drivers must be installed in the correct order. It is very important.
    After the installation of the OS, you must install all MS and then the Toshiba drivers and tools.
    I also found on page templates another Satellite P100 driver Toshiba: PSPA0E, PSPA3E and PSPA6E.
    You should check your device and you should be 100% sure that you are using the correct drivers.

  • Satellite L300 - Audio dropouts

    Hi all

    I'm chancing down the source of the audio dropouts that I experience on my new Satellite L300.

    When I bought it I opened for the downgrade to XP Pro. After optimization of XP and disabling and number of devices and services, I now operate virtually without a hitch. That is until the fan starts.

    Whenever the fan lights there is a glitch and there is also a series of glitches as the fan is preparing to turn it off. Anyone know of a work around for this?
    Are there drivers for the fan? Is there a problem with the fact that I am running XP and the machine has been designed for Vista? Should I go back to Vista?

    Any help woould have greatly appreciated.
    Kind regards
    Paul.

    Hi Paul,.

    It is very difficult to say what it is because I have too many Satellite L300 and Windows XP but I can't notice such a question. My L300 works really well with XP.

    In your case I try with factory settings and see what happens. If you see the same problem with Vista preinstalled, it seems to be a hardware malfunction and you need to go to an ASP and ask for help.

    I hope I could help a bit.

  • Satellite P100 - problem with audio driver on Windows 7 RC

    Hi all

    I have an Australian original Satellite P100 P/N PSPA6A-02N021 (T7200 2 GHz, 2 GB DDR-667, nVidia 7900GTX, 1680 x 1050 display) on which I just installed the latest Windows 7 RC (Build 7100 uploaded on 6 May). After doing a clean install on a new brand Western Digital 500 GB drive, I've had trouble with no output its (error code 10) default driver Microsoft HD audo.

    Because it is a new installation on a disk HARD costs there is no internet connection to research the latest updates during installation. After completing the installation, the search for an updated driver or windows update cannot locate a better driver.

    I updated the BIOS to Phoenix Technologies V4.70 (drawn from the Australian Toshiba site).

    I checked the audio driver which worked perfectly under Vista Business 32 running on this same laptop, and it was Conexant HD audio driver v3.18.051 (dated 04/12/2006). I got this driver on the net and installed under Win7 RC. This driver installed and working, but now I only sound from the left speaker which is very (too) low level.

    What I want to know is, someone at - it else experienced this and how did you solve this problem, or that you have the same or similar Toshiba laptop and the sound works OK or is there another way to do it.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello!

    I m asking you want to use an OS that isn't out yet and it s only a Release Candidate...

    Have you checked the sound settings on your laptop? Maybe the balance is only on the left speaker.

    To be honest, I think you should wait until Windows 7 will be available and you will find more recent drivers for it, they are compatible with Windows 7.
