• External Usb Audio Card Popping and cracking sound with Satellite L500

  Greetings,

  My name is Boyan and I am from Bulgaria, and a year ago, I bought a laptop satellite l500 series (I can't tell which is exactly the model at the moment because my computer is not currently with me and my user manual, the only thing that is said is that it is for L505/L500/L500D / L505D.) But from memory I think it was the Satellite L500D-ST5506 which is currently not at my dispossal, because I gave him for repairs for the same problem that I say down below)

  The problem with my laptop, is that when I plug in a Usb Audio card in my laptop I have a crackling sound during live sound is played hollow map external speakers/headphones. I tried several sound cards and speakers/headpohnes which work perfectly well with other computers, including laptops, but the problem continues even when I use an external sound card to connect to the laptop not appearing in my laptop speakers/headphones.

  The problem is important only when the signal passes through an external audio card and it is very disruptive since I use my laptop to create music and I bought a sound card expenssive and speakers that can not be used with the laptop. I tried 3 types of sound cards:

  M-Audio Fast Track Pro

  BEHRINGER uca 222

  and a simple 3d audio usb audio card external and the problem persists.

  At first, I thought that the problem is software and I should install the new drivers, windows 7 automatically recognizes and installs the drivers for the devices and I have its in (but with the cracks and educated) so I tried using the official drivers sold for me with the sound cards, but without success: the problem was still there. I tried to find the new drivers of the sound cards on long official distributors and I downloaded it but the problem was still there. Then I tried to delete all the audio drivers on my computer and just use the external sound card for sound but this eighter helps force. I updated my drivers for my sound card build - in as well but again - no luck.

  After substantial thing frist I did when (2 weeks after I bought the laptop) was to contact the store where I bought my audio card and they said that the problem may be so eighter latency or high voltage of the laptop they advised me to try to reduce the latency of the parameters or to try and see if the problem persists if only my laptop running on battery power. I tried two things, and they did not help. Audio cards worked without problems on all the other computers I tried them but me. So they told me that the problem could not be audio cards.

  What I then was that I gave my laptop for the Distributor official of toshiba in my country so that they can solve my problem. What they told me, is that a problem with the version of windows which was preinstalled on my laptop and it was not compitable with the sound cards (which was bizzar survey because I tried them on the same windows and they worked, only on other computers). So I'm back from my laptop and passed under my Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit operating system to Windows 7 Ultimate edition 64-bit and Windows 7 32-bit Ultimate edition on all versions, that's the problem: whenever I activate a low of passes of audio signal and Audio Usb card he heard cracks and educated. I even tried isntalling Windows XP, but the laptop want spesific SATA drivers for the Windows XP installation which although I found - they helped me install XP and I didn't go the BIOS of the computer to try to put a new and so on, because I'm not sure about that and I could lose my warranty so I said in the official repair shop for Toshiba in my city to put XP on my computer to solve the problem but they can't because they are not liscened to work with software that isn't a recipt for its purchase (which I did not because I bought my windows xp a long time ago and I lost the recipt)

  I gave her to get it repaired for the second time by telling them that the change of my operating system has not solved my problem and what they were doing was they changed the motherboard on my computer, indicating that the build in the device realtek audio on my computer is good enough to support a card usb audio or it may be broken and they change the whole motherboard because the generation of card is stuck, so they did it, but my problem has not been resolved. They told me that although I use and map external audio usb signal always going trough my only internal and I have to disable so I tried to disable this trough Control Panel, but this does not solve the problem and I don't have a BIOS option to disable my sound card build-in. Another thing I thought that maybe the problem is that two audio cards do not work on the same bitrate and Hertz so I put both cards to 16 bit 48000 Hz DVD quality (also tried the other options on the 3 cards that I have) but it's the same thing.

  They told me that it's just my luck and the construction of the sound card does not support this external sound cards and I would had been more careful when they choose to my laptop first.

  I couldn't accept this awnser for several reasons:

  (1) this sound card works on a lower version of windows and are supported by many older models of Realtek and a lot of old computers (one of them bought 2000! and my laptop is of 2010!)

  (2) the guys who were the apperantley of fixing problem don't go so deeply into my problem because they didn't know that in fact the problem was that only they knew that there is a problem with the audio card and the computer interact with them, they knew not that it cracks during the direct play the external audio card.

  (3) I can't accept the fact that Toshiba is manufacturing of models with maps audio chipset that cannot support a simple external Usb Audio card. It is totally unacceptable to me, and I sincerely hope that this is not the case!

  (4) they have tried my audiocards on another laptop of the same series, claiming that they have not at their dispossal at the moment so I'll go tomorrow at a local store and try the sound cards by myself on the same computer in the store.

  What I have now, it was that I gave my laptop for repair requesting a statement of the problem in wrtting with details of the problem so I can go to court or ask for a new laptop, but I'll be charged with little money because according to them there is no problem in the laptop and the problem is that my external sound cards are not compitable with the build in house chipset sound card. If I give my laptop for repair, and there is no hardware problem, I'll have to pay the money. I will do this, but I'm now crazy, because that does not solve my problem and I am wasting time and money.

  What I ask here is, if you can not help me solve my problem and advice me what to do to fix it, please give me the details of the chipset built in Driver sound card on my motherboard, so I can check if it is compitable with my external sound cards and contact the dealers of the sound card to ask them their opinion. Or if you can tell me what it is compitable with and what not, that would be great. Personally, I think this laptop should have no problem at all with a simple external usb running sound card, but I ask you, if you know something more about it.

  If a problem with the build in chipset then Toshiba is manufacturing (or at least sell) audiocards which are not in a normal standart but unfortunately I can not do nothing except complain to Toshiba and never treat whith such productgs more. Otherwise, if this is not true, then my laptop has a problem that is different and I have to go to court with the mans for mounting repair is not my laptop or do not give a new one when I guarantee will not fault of Toshiba and it will be in a way solve my problem.

  I hope that you understand how important it is for me and I hope I have fix the problem as soon as possible.

  P.S

  I want to say that I am familiar with grammar mistakes, that I did in the text below, and I would ask your excuses that I'm not a native speaker of English.

  Hi, I would just say that I had a similar failure although I wouldn't be surprised if she causing of yours, but you never have knowledge, my fault was the lid of my laptop [9 months], it contains the mic and when the lid has been in a certain angle cracks could be heard worse when I got my external sound card all the time it happened, luck, PS, it's a defective membrane [lid to the body] easily missed by engineer because he was the same angle you English is very good

• Popping and clicking Audio distortions on HP Pavilion

  I have a HP Pavilion p6654y and lately, whenever I do anything audio related, including Youtube and the steam games I get clicks, gal, pop and distortions in my audio. It doesn't happen when I watched a video that I downloaded earlier, then I tried disconnected from the Internet and played Deus Ex. perfect audio and video quality. I think its an internet problem, but I have no idea how to solve this problem. Any help is greatly appreciated, this had led me in the wall for the last few weeks.

  Hello IReallyNeedThis,

  I understand that your audio does not work properly when connected to the internet.

  Here is a link to reset IE.

  If he has not visited for a long time the problem started, you can run a system restore.
  
  
  
  This will bring the system back to when everything worked correctly without affecting your personal files.
  
  
  
  
  
  Here is a link on how to do a restore.

  I would like to know how everything goes.

• Audio Fadin incoming and outgoing, but the video quality remains high.

  Hello. I am regularly skyping someone, but the incoming audio signal began fade in and out and sometimes mute altogether. The video quality is very good and she can still hear and see me OK. The volume for Skype and everything else is wound up to the maximum. I tried skyping someone else and the problem was not present.

  I do not understand how the audio quality that I can fade, but the video quality does not change. I would have thought if they had problems of band bandwidth then the video would have refused and the Lady, I'm not talking would receive me in this good quality either.

  Is anyone know something about this problem and a possible solution?

  Thank you

  Hello. In the case where someone comes across it because they have the same or similar problem I found the solution. It turns out, somehow, that the volume of my microphone had been wound up to the maximum. Because Skype reduces the audio signal entering when you make noise, the person I was calling I couldn't hear because I was broadcasting involuntarily every tiny noise. This interrupts my incoming audio. For some reason I have the microphone picks up a ridiculous level of background noise. Only, I discovered this after a test of back to back with my mother's laptop. To stop the problem I just wrapped up my microphone volume down in audio on Skype settings until there no sign up tapping or other noises. So I send you not now sounds that would hurt my incoming audio. It also explains how the Lady I was calling could still hear me fine and the quality of the video never abandoned, but the audio signal coming at my end was.

• Pavilion 14-v060Br: Remove audio beats without loss of sound quality

  As many customers know, audio beats produced distortions and can be very annoying.

  After a lot of research here, I could remove from Beats Audio and install generic drivers, but then I lost the quality of the sound and equalization that I would have with original drivers.
  
  I would like to know if there is no driver, perhaps from a laptop with a similar material, which can give me back and quality equalization, without the distortions of Beats Audio.
  
  HP shoud really solve this problem.

  Only, I solved the problem.
  
  I use a HP Pavilion and the soundboard is Realtek, so if your soundboard is an IDT, the solution is different, but I found many topics on the problem of the IDT and I think it was has been resolved.

  Here we go:
  
  1 uninstall all the drivers, you need to me probably do it in different ways: try to uninstall by ' Panel > uninstall a program > > Unistall Realtek High Definition Audio ' then open the Device Manager and go to "Audio, video and game controllers" and uninstall it too. Probably, there is two options, uninstall both of them. If there are more, uninstall all audio drivers you find. Edit: I forgot one thing, if you have the Support of HP software installed, unistall it too.
  
  2. do NOT restart the computer, if you do this, windows will install the generic drivers.
  
  3. go to 'http://www.realtek.com.tw/ > downloads > High Definition Audio Codecs (software) "and download one of the first two options (32 or 64-bit, with 103161 k or 128412 k files). Install and reboot the computer. I'm not sure but maybe you have to restart the computer two times.
  
  4. the Realtek Control Panel manage will start with windows and equalization will be back, too, the Equalization of the volume that distorts the sound will be gone, but you can check or uncheck in the control panel.
  
  5. If the Equalization of the volume or any other effect is always on and its reduction of the quality of the sound, the right click on the sound icon in the taskbar and then click "Playback devices", then click right-click in one of the devices and select "show disabled devices", then click on 'Speakers' with the right button , then 'properties' and then 'improvements', there you can disable or enable whatever you want, including equalization EQ and volume (witch kills the sound when active).

  6. what a shame you HP.

  I hope it helps.

• Sound / Audio (CRAC, pop, broken playback) the buffer Y460P issues

  Hello

  I have problems playing audio without clicks and pops. They sound like problems of buffer against the recess.

  Clicks occur during audio playback of any program, but worsen under certain cercumstances.

  The worst time is when I have my external monitor plugged. He actually 10 times worse if I have uTorrent with multiple files running. Even after closing, the clicks remain. The best result is obtained only after the closure of the programmes as much as possible.

  The clicks are better, but not completely disappeared, when no other monitor is connected and cover is open. If I close the lid, the clicks well gets worse.

  I have an external USB sound (Sound Blaster X - FI) card and also tried with this. It makes no difference, the clicks are stll there.

  I updated my BIOS with the latest version and sound card drivers are updated. Is there anything else I can try?

  Thanks and let me know if you need more information from System.

  
  

• pop and sound click on touchsmart tm2

  I have a TouchSmart tm2-1000 whenever I play all the sounds (especially headphones) it's very noticeable pop and clicks.  I went to the IDT parameters and found a battery that option although on can cause POPs and clicks but when I turn it off nothing changes.  I tried many other settings unchanged.  I don't not blare my sound, so I highly doubt they are blown and if they were I don't think it would affect the headphones.  My computer is almost new and has received absolutely no damage. Help appreciated!

  Problem solved.  I sent an email to the technical support of HP and got instructions to completely uninstall the IDT audio CODEC then reinstal with recovery and it worked.

• Popping and crackling sound question

  Hello!

  "I have a" desktop PC HP Pavilion 500 - 205t CTO using Windows 7 and IDT High Definition Audio CODEC.
  I bought the computer in April.

  May I noticed was that a glitch will start appearing in the sound. POPs and crackles in the audio playback, any device, no matter the speakers or the headphones, any outlet. I even tried the different outlets for computers and the different power strips. According to the HP website, my audio drivers are up to date.

  The problem is getting worse over time until I've restarted. Then the sound would be perfect for the 12 to 48 hours to which the question referred.

  A DPC latency Checker showed that over time my latency increased also, and POPs and crackles corresponded with an increase in latency.

  WRPUI revealed that, during a period of high latency audiodg.exe had a count of 1 563 and a weight of 1 517. I have no idea what means the data, but I've heard some people know leaks memory with audiodg.exe and I wonder if it could it be. The fix for microsoft says DO NOT install it unless you are sure... and I'm not sure.

  I also heard rumors that HP do not keep drivers up to date on their Web site. So I wonder if there is a more up-to-date version my IDT there. My current version is 6.10.6491.0

  Any help is appreciated.

• I have no sound on You Tube on Firefox on 2 different computers - I audio on Outlook and google on You tube. Why?

  I couldn't get audio on YouTube videos on firefox for several days - I audio if video is a source other than you tube on Firefox. I am able to get you tube audio on Outlook and Google so I think it's a problem of "Firefox" and not on my computer. It's also happened on my counter top and my laptop. There is an X by the volume button on the You tube video, but it won't let me get rid of the X and turn the audio.

  You'll probably notice a silent X next to the volume icon (speaker) on the control bar of the Flash Player on YouTube (hover the player). There seems to be a problem on the YouTube site and the sound is disabled by default.
  If you need to pass the "speaker" icon and move the volume slider to the right to turn the sound back on.

• hp beats audio quality

  I was hoping to ask for some advice on the poor quality of the sound I get from my new laptop (DV7-4069) Hp. Music played on it sounds bit deep & slender at best despite the presence of a subwoofer bass & audio beats technology. The parameters Panel audio beats Hp makes no difference significant in my opinion. I have naturally draw comparisons with my last laptop (Hp pavilion ze2000) which, with its altec lansing speakers have a fantastic audio quality. Makes me wonder what all the hype is around the hp beats technology unfortunately.

  Any suggestions to get a fuller, better sound? Thank you very much

  I just got my phone yesterday and I tried to figure why sounds audio beats like Doo - Doo.

  I found a way to make the balanced sound and not uber hectic.

  Go to Control Panel > sounds

  Click on the speakers and headphones > Properties

  Under improvements you can choose what you want to improve.

  I clicked on Bass Boost, Virtual Surround and collected Loudness.

  Next is the most important, click levels.

  When I first clicked it my bass was equal to-20 and my treble 4. 100% opposite poles and it was the default settings!

  I put my bass 4-0 and I hear not and crack or break. I'm happy now.

  You may also need to play with the EQ levels in the Interface bat to get straight for you, but the sounds of decent Beats Tour setting now.

  I hope this helps.

• CarPlay audio quality of the voice when it is connected through the USB port is poor vs Bluetooth on Pioneer AVH-4200NEX

  Hello!

  I recently installed a Pioneer AVH-4200NEX unit, I was super excited to improve my car with the support of CarPlay, and everything works great except for one thing.  When I connect my iPhone (6s +) to the unit via a USB cable and a standard phone call, the audio quality is very bad - hail, very downsampled, and metallic sounding compared to the use of Bluetooth via the unit to pioneer for the same phone call (I'm on LTE, using HD voice, although the quality difference is quite noticeable on the calls not HD and on the 4 G calls).  I looked for an answer to this question, but the best that I can find mention of limited USB bandwidth and try to juggle than the bandwidth for the rest of the CarPlay experience, although I don't buy not because audio via the iPhone connected with USB playback is just as clear that it is through Bluetooth.  So my question is: How can I submit a bug report Apple about this behavior and (b) do you have other CarPlay users also be known this recent problem on a unit of Pioneer NEX (AppRadio included)?  It would be great if this is a bug of Pioneer for which they can release a firmware update, I'm just worried that it is a codec problem specified by the CarPlay, so non repairable.

  Thank you!

  Hello served,

  Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

  I understand that when you use the USB cable for your iPhone in your car with the audio CarPlay is mediocre. I know how it is important for you to hear your calls clearly. In a situation like this, I recommend the steps described in the following article to help solve the problem.

  Configure CarPlay to use with your iPhone

  Specifically the section to get help:

  If CarPlay does not work as you expect, here's what you can check. After each step, try to use CarPlay again.

  1. Make sure that Siri is turned on.
  2. Restart your iPhone and your car. Depending on your car, you can see the CarPlay home screen when you turn it on. If you do not, look for the CarPlay logo on the screen of your car.
  3. If possible, connect your iPhone to a different USB port in your car.
  4. Try a different lightning to a USB cable. Make sure that the cable is certified.
  5. Update to the latest version of iOS.

  See you soon

• Quality of the terrible sound on Satellite L50 - has

  I just bought a new L50 - A Satellite, and despite the reviews I found saying that the speakers are great and the quality must be really good, all the audio that I played on it was really intestine and of poor quality.
  Does anyone have ideas why this would be, or how to fix it?

  Play with the equalizer helped a bit, but it's still very far from perfect. It's the same Internet and iTunes, and with the speakers and headphones, so those are both excluded.

  > Play with the equalizer helped a bit, but it's still very far from perfect.

  The Satellite series L50 - A comes preinstalled with DTS® Sound software.

  This software can be used to improve the sound quality.

• Audio quality on Satellite C55-A-1

  Hello

  I'm considering buying a laptop model Toshiba C55, C55-A-1 to be precise.
  However I'm a bit read comments and one or two people were not satisfied with the audio quality of the machine.

  I was wondering if anyone here is familiar with the series C55 and can comment on audio quality and the quality of president of these laptops.

  How do they get to watch a move, or listen to music?
  They produce audio undistorted clear?
  are they strong enough (given the fact that I wear a hearing aid because I have a terrible hearing).

  I have a Toshiba laptop at the moment, I have had for nearly six years and feel that it may be time for an upgrade.
  My current model is a P300-16 t and has served me very well.

  I would appreciate any advice and answers to the questions I asked, I thank you for reading and for any help provided.

  > However I head a little read comments and one or two people were not satisfied with the audio quality of the machine.

  + One of the two people was unsatisfied +: well, I put t appreciate these opinions.
  It turns out that you can not compare this notebook with a costly high range support or Playbook. You must always consider the value of price-ration.

  This series of portable was equipped with common standard designed speakers and you shouldn't compare the sound for laptop computers equipped with speakers harman cardon.

  But the laptop is supported by some sound effects called DTS Sound controlled by software pre-installed. This software enhances the sound quality immensely.
  In many cases, people are not aware of such a software and don t use.

• Audio IDT HIGH definition no sound Manager

  Hi all. I have HP Pavilion laptop 2382sa g6. Today, I'm very said trying to find his manager

  in my laptop to change the sound quality with equalizer. Sound card is codecc IDT HIGH DEFINITION.

  So, I was unable to find his Manager. On google I found this laptop IDT Manager exist then why Miss me on my laptop. In the case where for noobs yes I reinstalled drivers form audio hp support.

  Guys give me feedback what to do.

  Okay, that's a very clear answer. And im not happy with this. Not all providers do it as you say it's a lie. Why realtec comes with Manager audio soft preistalled? He never comes withuot it doesn't matter it is desctop or laptop. I think it's a thing of HP company to save money on low end pc parts, as a sound card as the card wifi and must be others (ralink, idt, terrible cooling system). As I said I saw on idt hd audio Manager google exist. So it must be pristalled with all the pc hp usess idt hd audio. Like to see HP began selling horses with 2 legs if understand you what I mean.

  Sorry for the English spelling is not my mother tongue.

  Ok. I have sloved my problem myself. thirst first I uninstalled the idt with whole software drivers, restarted the pc, windows has istalled base hd, form downloaded audio drivers drivers HP again, he unpacked in my chosen and installed foldger. Went through Control Panel and found ""Dolby advanced audio v2 " it wasn't there until I checked several times." So now I have full control of my sound card or let as much as it good for my needs. I hope that this will help others to slove the same problem if they have.
