Distortion of sound on T500 problems

Hi all

I had my T500 now for about 3 months and you have problems with the sound and crackling distortion. It is not obvious when you play, but loading Youtube videos, it is particularly evident. Maybe something to do with interference with the network card, I'm not sure.
I've read that it could be a problem with the Intel ICH9M-E/M SATA AHCI controller, but I can't find the link again.
Any suggestions before I have calling technical support?

I just thought that Id mention a solution to the problem. Lenovo has recently updated the IDE ATA/ATAPI driver for Intel ICH9M/E/M SATA AHCI controller driver. This seems to solve this problem as a stuttering problem I had with my mouse I have ensure that was due to Razer drivers not Lenovo.

  • Distorted crackling sound when you use either 32/64 bit Windows 7 on Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo V5535 using high definition Audio Device.

    Hello. I have a problem with the sound on my computer. I think that's maybe a bug in Windows 7. Whenever I try to play music or watch a video there is some distorted crackling sounds that come also with audio. I had no such problem in XP or Vista. I have tried everything to solve this problem re-installing the audio drivers switching different and trying different versions of Windows 7 but without success. I have not had any problems with him using Windows 7 beta, but I do now running version 7600. And my lapyop is well capable to run Windows 7 at 2.26 Ghz CPU, 2 GB Ram, 320 MB graphics card - its very fast. Only problem is her. I even tried the Realtek audio drivers for it and I get the same problem - and they are the most recent up-to-date.
    Help, please!
    Thank you

    Hello. I do have the problem fixed - this is if you have a RealTek sound card. You need to contact them about the problem and they should give you a diagnostic tool. Run the tool and the info. Then send it to RealTek. I got good service from them that everything was done in half an hour! They sent me a version updated their driver who was in phase beta but the change Turn Off Mode jumper (if it makes no sense to me) and it works completely fine! I even had new arrivals with him too - special enhancments that can change the height of the audio, karaoke, effects on the environment and Equalizer mode. No crackling or distorted sound.

  • Why my speakers are crackling and distort the sound?

    Why my speakers are crackling and distort the sound?

    Hello

    You have a few options as I see it.

    Click Start in the search type Recovery Manager, and then click it once select Yes on user access control, and then select I need immediate help and then select driver & select recovery requires the audio driver and install it and then restart the device.

    Go into Device Manager and uninstall the sound driver and restart and unit automatically installs the driver.

    Try to run the system restore to the date where the unit was working fine.

    Try to update the driver from hp.com for Audio & Bios site.

    Last step is to perform a recovery on the unit before they please back up your data.

    If your laptop is still under warranty, contact HP and make arrangements for the speaker replaced.

  • Sound distortion with sounds and Windows streaming media

    First of all, I'm not very technical minded, so please excuse my attempts to describe it!

    A few weeks ago, the sound on my laptop became distorted - metal kind of high, very "rough" and nasty high-pitched squeal kind of like your comments. Happens on all Windows sounds, on the media (like YouTube) streaming, but WMP works fine so I know it isn't a problem of speaker, need software.

    Just before this happened, I tried to download and install Skype, but couldn't get my microphone to work. I then uninstalled Skype. I also installed Spyware Doctor from PCTools, but there were some conflicts when he tried to run scheduled scans, three times, I started my computer to find the message "your system has recovered from a serious error" (I also have Norton Antivirus and Windows Defender running). So I uninstalled Spyware Doctor.

    I tried to find info online on this and have since downloaded and run CCleaner. I also downloaded and re-installed the Realtek driver for my sound card, but I still have this problem. All tips are welcome!

    Very beautiful ;) Thanks for this useful info.

  • HP Pavilion P6 - 2220t: distortion of sound when using Vinly to CD software

    Used Audacity and Golden Records Vinyl to CD software while using Numark Platinum vinyl and Uphono devices. Sound of the devices was good through headphones, while listening to that recording has been distorted and unpleasant. Audacity has worked with the previous desktop, but not this one. In addition, registration counters were bolted on two software. Not sure if it's a sound card, or a series of bad luck with the devices and P6. Never had a problem with Numark Platinum the previous desktop, but faced this distortion on the P6 - 2220t. Also noted the audacity meter monitoring does not always work on this desktop computer.

    I don't think that it is a problem of HP hardware.  I suggest contacting the customer to the software publisher to see if they can help you.  They know the best software.  It could be that there is an incompatibility which they can identify.

  • distortion in sound and videos

    Hello

    I have a question about the quallity of the media on my laptop, regarding the two sounds, graphics and audio and video gliching crashes. They seem to happen at the same time, so I think that there is a connection beween two of them. The specifications of my laptop are:

    Hewlett-Packard HP ENVY 17 Notebook - Intel Core i7-4700MQ 2.40 GHz - 64 bit

    I use my NVIDIA GeForce GT M 740 video card mainly, but I tried to pass the other standard video Intel(r) HD 4600 Graphics card.

    I use this laptop for a few months now for school (I use a fairly heavy, inventor 3D design program), music, movies and games. And so far he lived completely to my expectations, I am a very happy user but these noises and distortions are killing me. They occur with both my headphones and without (just the speakers on my laptop) every 5 seconds. My laptop which carries with pride brand Beats Audio (I honestly don't think that guaranteed everything about audio quallity, it is just so should happened to be on the laptop that had caught my attention.)

    Now I have done a little research on the subject, after trying basic solutions like reinstalling my audio drivers and in generally looking up previous updates and checking the log, and I found this tread: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=4&ved=0CFoQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fen.community.dell.com%2Fsupport-forums%2Flaptop%2Ff%2F3517%2Ft%2F19412515.aspx&ei=OIvVUsHDN6TL0AX41IGYBA&usg=AFQjCNEF5QG2-uhgoekILJj4sg3AkGCxLA&sig2=DFhmuI-Ql0SruXabCR7d4w. People quite comparable expiriencing of problems with another model of laptop, but it does not appear as a solution had been found. I found a few other threats that suggested it might have something to do with windows. but using Windows 8 not proven to be sufficient to solve the problem.

    Can you maybe help me on this matter?

    Thanks in advance for the help!

    Hello. Yes, we found a solution for the thread you linked to. All the solutions that we (the owners of portable) found are listed in the FAQ Audio Choppy/jump. Solutions are listed about newest to oldest and by model. You are probably not familiar with the names of model Dell so I'll tell you that Dell seems to get a handle on these problems, or Microsoft is, because none of the newer models are on the list. Lately, we have not seen these types of symptoms.

    The solution to the problem, you logged is explained under the heading "Inspiron 1545 and 1750", but also apply to many other models too. However, this seems to have been fixed. I doubt that it applies to your new HP laptop, but if you look through the alternatives, you might see something that will help you.

There as a blur behind each heard Word. Consistent on every call made for almost 2 weeks straight. Does anyone know a fix? Brand new SE 64 GB with the last update. Have tested with several people and have tried mono, sound cancellation etc. Even when I get a text while talking, the sound of which is still distant.

  • Equium M50-163 has sound-> ongoing echo problems

    As the title says, my Toshiba laptop has some problems with the sound. For almost a good 7 months now (I think that I got used to the sound, I hear an echo ' ') my laptop sound, that it either music or speaking in a film, has a permanent 'echo' (as if the sound was the mode of the room).
    There is also little or no bass. I tried to adjust the sound settings, but nothing helped, and it isn't the laptop speakers because the sound is the same with external speakers connected to my laptop.

    Can someone help me?

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    You have this echo effect only to watch movies or have you noticed that play games or streaming a video from the internet?

    From my experience of that many different 3rd party applications supported additional sound effects. These settings might be responsible for you echo.

    I also remember that the M50 series supports the virtual sound software. This small program changes the sound effects too.

    Select this check box. You should find it in the folder utilities Toshiba.
    As far as I know, you can change the settings of the sound from the built-in speakers, headphones and external speakers
    Choose the parameters of built-in details, speakers and opens.

    There are a few options that could create the echo effect

    Good bye

  • Satellite A30: Card sound & Chipset driver problem.

    Hi all
    I'm about to get REALLY crazy! I would really appreciate if someone can help me...

    My story is:
    I lost all my CD recovery & pilot who gave me in 2004. But I had to format my pc this weekend due to many reasons of system (bugs, unable to connect to the net, etc.).
    My first step was to Toshiba site, I downloaded all kinds of drivers for Satellite A30. And I had XP Professional SP2 from my friend and installed it. But after completing all the facilities below is the result:

    (1) NO. SOUND :(

    2 points to mark on the 2 points that are a) multimedia sound controller and b) PCI Modem in Device Manager / other devices.

    (3) Chipset installation error message: Chipset Intel (r) utility installation requires platform chipsets supported by the supported operating system. Read the section of the system requirements in the Readme.txt for more information.
    So far I checked the forums my chipset has not been installed correctly, but when I try yo install the Intel chipset 895PE (csutil-sa30-xp - 5011015.zip) I downloaded download address http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com, it gives the error message and some people says to install the drivers in good order as, first install XP with SP1, and then install utilitt chipset, and then install SP2 etc... But it seems not to be easy for me...

    Really, I can repeat my FORMAT again, but in what order process...
    Thank you...

    Hello

    Just to inform that my problem has been resolved in itself :)
    I reformatted my laptop and installed new computer the original XP Pro SP2 by following the instructions.

    His problem was solved automatically, no installation utility chipset required...
    The noise problem was probably caused by lack of update Microsoft KB835221 for SP1 and KB888111 for SP2, which then was resolved with the XP of more recent origin...

  • Satellite L555 - 11L - Sound and keyboard problem

    (1) 2 months after the purchase, laptop began screaming sound. He brought back to Fnac, they restored the system. The screeching starts now if the level of speakers is higher than 50% or if I plug headphones with microphone. Making it difficult to use Skype. What could be the cause?

    ((2) recently, keyboard became slow - Return key and SPACEBAR react unless you press several times and 'double letters' (repeat) will not work unless I stop everything first before typing the new letter--regardless of the letter). I tried to change the properties of keyboard long/short, delay/frequency, no difference. Browsing the forum, I noticed that + users with similar problems also have a computer laptop french keyboard +. Would he be there? What should I try how can I set the properties of the keyboard, anyway?

    Hello

    You can try to update the Toshiba Power Saver or power management because they are responsible for the day before!

    I got an A50 and use put to sleep / hibernation every time without problems!

  • sound audio playback problem

    Hello!
    I recently bought a laptop computer "TOSHIBA M30 model PSM33C-YSJOOE and I need help to solve a problem of sound.

    Can you please help me solve the problem specified below:

    When I use the microphone for audio chat on MSN Messenger, the other party does not do anything. I did the audio test of the sound card, and although the volume sliders move when I speak into the microphone, I hear no sound, as it should. I also tested the microphone on another computer and it works perfectly.

    So I think it's maybe a newly purchased with the laptop sound problem. The real driver is: SigmaTel C-Major Audio, Version 6.14.1.3835.

    When I go into the properties of the volume control, to the title of the Conference (read) the volume of the microphone control does not appear.

    If anyone has a solution to this annoying problem, please answer. Thank you

    Hi mekama,.

    checked the settings for audio devices Device Manager? Also, you should check the sounds and audio settings in the control panel because the Satellite M30 has a built-in microphone, maybe you must activate or change anywhere?

    JJ you also UN - and reinstalled the audiodriver?

  • Partitioning in T500 problem

    Hello

    A week ago I received the new T500. I tried to divide the drive into 3 partitions and I managed to do it with GParted LiveCD. Windows XP worked fine after that. Then I did the BIOS update with ThinkVantage System Update. After that (I'm not sure it's because of the update of the BIOS) when I boot GParted, it shows that my drive is unallocated space, but windows starts normally...

    I wouldn't bother I have not the fact that I have to install Linux on my T500 and installer can't see none of my scores...

    What can I do to make it work correctly?

    I can even wipe my drive hard if you tell me it will work 100%...

    Finally I did it! Here's how I did it: I went to the BIOS changed options SATA AHCI Mode Compatybility. Then I had lunch the installer of Windows XP - whipe on all partitions, created new partitions using Windows install. After that, I have not had any problems with Acronis Disk Director, install linux on my t500 or any other problem. I hope it helps someone.
