DVD playback stops on Satellite A100

• Solution for DVD playback choppy on Satellite Pro A100

  Hello!

  I had this problem twice on my Toshiba laptop (Satellite Pro A100 bought in April 2006): the DVD used to play very well, but now (perhaps after an update of the driver or installation of software, I not sure what causes this) DVD playback is choppy, distorted sound. This occurs throughout all media players on Windows XP (for example, PowerDVD which came with the laptop) or Windows media player.

  I searched the internet far from a solution and finally found how to solve this problem:

  Go to Device Manager, select the "IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers" section, and then select the "second IDE channel", right click and 'uninstall '. (There are two second IDE channels, if you know which then just uninstall both.) Restart Windows XP, Windows XP will automatically reinstall the drivers without the need to download anything. Subsequently the DVD Player reads normally.

  The symptoms of the problem, apart from DVD playback choppy, are the "transfer mode" gets stuck on PIO for a reason, and bring back to DMA with no opportunity to spend. I have no idea what software or driver causes this, or why, but if this is your problem too, if you think that this solves.

  Cool, thanks for the inquiry and the nice information.
  Could be useful to others here in the forum.
  Nice to have these community users :)

• Audio Glitch problem when the playback/record on Satellite A100

  Hello world

  I have an audio glitch issue with my Toshiba laptop.

  When you play any audio file off the coast of the HD I mean glitches.

  I play audio with the media player through the integrated sound card and...
  A Firewire Interface Audio FF400 RME. (which works fine on other computers).
  A USB Alesis Photon x 25 USB 1.1 Audio Interface. (which works fine on other computers).

  but all still produce this annoying glitch.

  Other forums (see below) seem to think it's the fan.

  But what anything what is the solution to solve this?

  Someone on one of the other forums (see below)

  Said that they could not fix it and sold their laptop, I hope I don't have to do that too.

  A reply as soon as possible to support Toshiba or anyone with ideas please give your contribution.

  Hello

  I had the same problem with my Satellite Pro A100 - basically whenever the fan kicks inside or outside, there was a glitch in the audio that pretty much unusable laptop for music.

  At the end of the day, I followed the advice of Nelucard and changed to MPS Multiprocessor PC ACPI processor/computer on Device Manager driver. I then had to reinstall most of my drivers, but once this is done, the fan has been all the time, so there are no glitches more - at least not once the laptop has heated up to... at the beginning, the fan still comes in and out, but after 3-4 minutes, that's all the time. I can live with that.

  It's far from ideal, but in my case it worked and I can now use Reaper, audio streaming and use a load of plug-ins with no problems. I hope Toshiba will come back with a better solution via a BIOS update in the future, but I think that this problem has been known for 7-8 months and nothing has been done so far...

  In any case, good luck and I hope this is of some use.

  See you soon.

• Can not burn the backup of the data on a DVD - RW on the Satellite A100-200

  Hello

  I did a lot of audio and data cd using Nero burning, but can not burn a dvr - rw data backup.

  Advice please.

  Satellite A100-200 and xp home

  What do you mean with data backup?
  And have you tried other DVD discs? I think your drive is compatible with the player so test drive of other manufacturers.

  On the Toshiba laptop I always use verbatim, and I never had any problems with it.

• Virtual sound stops working - Satellite A100

  Dear all

  I seem to have a problem with my virtual sound on my Satellite A100. It seems to work intermittently, often it doesn't work anymore and I can't control if it is on or off. If I reboot, it can start working again, but not always. I did a factory restore of the machine that clears the fault, but after a few start-up, it starts to happen again. It doesn't seem to be a reason for the problem.

  Has anyone experienced this problem and managed to work around it?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I put t don't know if this helps but try to update the utility audio virtual ansd the audio driver. To do this, check the Toshiba driver page.

  I put t know if it is interesting for you, but in this forum, I noticed that on some Satellite P100 crackling sounds/noises can be resolved by updating of all of the BIOS (v 2.1 or higher) and the audio driver.
  Need to first update the BIOS

• Can not download the full version of DVD Movie Factory for Satellite A100 and clean Vista

  Hello

  I did a clean Windows Vista update set of Modus link orgianal.
  Installed and now when a desire to install the DVD Movie Factory patch (DMF5.51_Patch_18in1_for TOSHIBA_147.05_0718)
  There is no software installed dvd creator and also no cd creator...
  It saids "without early DMF found" and is stop and exit installation of this hotfix.

  Now, I can't get the creator software dvd on my Satelite A-100...

  In my OS XP MCE early had a... DVD creator of Ulead DMF for toshiba (oem) and creator of sonic cd

  What can I try now?

  The fact is that both applications are part of the recovery image, and these applications are available if you plant only settings. They cannot be downloaded and installed as well.

  If you want to have them again, you must install OS using Toshiba DVD recovery.

• No DVD-ROM after recovery - Satellite A100-289

  I recently had my A100-289 expedition in for repair. A few days later the unit returned to me with a new motherboard.
  Unfortunately my OS has not started, so I got it from the DVD.

  Once you have completed the recovery process, Windows MCE prompted with the "new hardware found" - Assistant, who wanted to install a driver for the DVD drive. Usually you don't need drivers for these, do you think?

  After searching in vain the net for several hours, I tried to recover once more, then maybe the problem would disappear by itself, but unfortunately this was not the case, not even after the third recovery.

  I tried to install on a clean install disc that I used on my desktop before, just to see if it works and then uninstall it. What can I say? It didn't work anyway :(
  I am writing from said computer laptop on which I have installed as secondary to Mandriva Linux 2008 operating system. The DVD player works perfectly here.

  I concluded it must be a software problem, which has to do with Windows maybe, there is a way to solve it, but I don't have a working solution yet, although I tried to uninstall and reinstall both driver and drive several times without success.

  Any ideas?

  Hello

  First of all if you are able to install one operating system and then the CD/DVD drive works and surely it s not a hardware issue.
  Then you should check the Device Manager after installing the recovery CD if there is no yellow exclamation point.
  Then you must remove the drive from Device Manager and should access the registry.

  It to completely remove the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  and then restart the laptop.

  Good luck

• Need driver for the DVD-ROM in my Satellite A100-812

  Who can help me with the driver for the DVD-ROM in my notebook? It's a rug * a UJ-850 s. These days he asks that whenever you load a disc (CD or DVD) if I want it to be formatted. All that s what it does. I tried to find the driver for peut-t, but I find on the Web. Can someone help me solve this problem?
  Thank you

  Hendrik

  There is no such thing as a pilot for ODD (optical disc drive). It uses the standard Microsoft driver. Try please remove the disc from the Device Manager, then restart the laptop. After reboot the ODD will be detected and installed it again. Check please if the problem persists.

  If yes I recommend you to install the driver for DVD-RAM (DVDForm Utility). You can find it on the download page of Toshiba. I use the 3.0.9.0a version. and it works perfectly.

• CD/DVD drive has stopped being recognized by Satellite A100 - 01 G

  I have a Satellite A100 - 01 G, but the CD/DVD drive has stopped being recognized by the machine.
  I have full Vista like the o/s.

  Help, please
  Thank you

  Hello

  Have you checked in the Device Manager if the CD/DVD player display correctly?
  Please check this!

  As a follow-up, I would recommend removing the reader of CD/DVD of the crèche of the device a restarting the laptop.
  The Windows operating system should recognize the new device (ODD) and should load the drivers again.

  Then access the registry and delete the Upperfilters and Lowerfilters completely from the following registry key values:
  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Contro l\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

  and reboot.

  Good luck

• Satellite A100 - 785 PSAANE - CD/DVD drive problem

  Hello friends,

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A100 - 785 PSAANE and its configurations are as follows:

  1.87 C2D Ghz, 1 GB of Ram (512 + 512), Windows Vista Basic, CD/DVD read/write...

  Question: Its been long enough, I m facing some problem with my optical drive. Whenever I insert a CD that is originally made by any company, it works fine. At the time when I insert a CD that is personally burned with any normal CD data / engraver of DVD or CD that have been created previously by the same laptop mentioned above, its been interpreted as a blank disc. The data on the drive are not displayed.

  For example: lets say if I insert a cd of the software as my webcam cd or cd of my printer they can be read normally and work very well. But at the point where I have to enter any cd that was burned by me that contains my personal files, it is read as a blank disc.

  This problem does not exist with any of the DVDs. that is not serious every dvd I insert either being a software normal dvd or one that is burned as a given personal dvd, everything works fine and all the data DVD can be read.

  I tried to reinstall the driver, I tried to reformat my laptop using the supplied with the notebook Toshiba Recovery CD, but the problem persists.

  Between a few months ago, I tried to do a few tweak, as firstly I have insert the cd in the drive and then turn off the reader of cd and then allowing it once again would actually read the cd. But after a few tries, it also stopped working.

  Now I have really no idea what should I do to get my CD to work normally.

  I hope that this message can help out me.

  Your help will be appreciated

  Thanks for your precious time

  Hi Claudia,.

  To be honest, I never heard A785 Satellite.
  You should check the model number again, as wrote Akuma. It would be important to know.

  But in General if you have the same problems after using the Toshiba Recovery disk it seems to be a bad material work because the recovery disc can restore the factory settings.

• Equium A100: CD/DVD drive stopped working code 22

  Toshiba Satellite A100 on Vista operating.
  CD/DVD drive has stopped working and shows it as being disabled. Tried to re - activate but the error code 22. Can anyone help?

  Hello

  The Microsoft page provides information about error code 22

  * This device is disabled. (Code 22) *.
  _Recommended resolution_
  + Activate the device using Device Manager. +
  + In Device Manager, click Action, and then select device. Starts the Enable Device Wizard. Follow the instructions. +

  Looks like you have already tired it. Well, in your case I would recommend removal of the CD/DVD drive from the list of devices in Device Manager. Mark simply the unit a press to remove.

  Then, restart the computer and check what is happening.

• Satellite A100-049: CDs and DVDs do not read after standby

  I have a new satellite A100-049 delivered with vista home premium pre-installed. After returning to the computer from sleep/wake (whatever mode is when the yellow light pulses) without discs can be read in the drive. The disc rotates constantly, but nothing will happen.

  Everything works well when the computer is turned on at the first time, but after the sleep he stopped playing discs. Is that what I can do about it?

  Hello

  What happens if you remove the media CD or DVD of the training after the laptop back to sleep/wake?

  I mean that you should remove the Middle, close the CD tray, then open the drive, insert the CD/DVD and check if the laptop recognizes the middle.

• How to set the Satellite A100-596 to factory without Recovery DVD settings

  I gave my young niece of my old laptop A100-596 for Christmas.
  It worked perfectly on Christmas Eve I packed it upward, in packing of origin, but at the time my niece connected on it has lost 40 GB of data among the drives C and E - everything E drive and the dvd drive had stopped working!

  Now, no one has any explanation for what is happening, nor any reason why a laptop that has performed flawlessly for 18 months would suddenly lose 3/4 of the data on it, but whatever!

  So now I want to restore it to factory, but without a job settings dvd, how? I have all disks involved in perfect condition!
  In addition, I want to fool proof so it can be retrieved in case the person or nothing damaged, this time he cannot repeat the action.

  So I think that if I partition the hard drive so that the recovery of files is accessible by me with a password, which I will NOT share with any of the children, if they bumble once again, then I will be able to recover.

  Moreover, even restoring the system files have disappeared, so I can't even it roll back to a working condition!

  Any advice?

  Hello

  You wrote so much and I think it's the best we descuss all questions slowly.

  I don't know what you mean under non-working DVDs. Is the drive defective optical drive or media DVD is not readable?

  Anyway, the fact is that if you want to have the factory again settings you must install operating system using Toshiba DVD recovery. If you don't have it you can do clean OS installation using the Microsoft DVD facilities. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities are available on the Toshiba support under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com page > support & downloads.

  When you use recovery media Toshiba HARD whole disc will be erased. Absolutely everything. All data and partitions.
  What you want to do with recovering data unfortunately will not work. You cannot copy the recovery image and start it from the other partitions. Not on Satellite A100.

  On new A300, something like this is possible because the recovery image is stored on the second partition in folder HDDRecovery.

  If you have any other questions please let us know.

• Satellite A100-011 with Vista: DVD-ram UJ-850 s can not burn DVDs dual layer

  Hello

  cannot find answers to my problem, so start a new topic.
  Having Satellite A100-011 with Vista preinstalled and Mat * a DVD - RAM UJ-850 s (firmware 1.10).

  Recently installed Nero 7.5.9 and you want to burn DVD (6, 5 GB) media dual layer (Immation - Ritek).

  First time Nero stopped with information: could not perform start of Disc At Once (without damaging the media).
  After that, run Nero as Windows XP - SP2 program and burn half the disc (first layer), but when to start to burn the second layer (I guess), stop once again with the same error information (could not perform start of DAO).

  Simple disc burning layer without problem.

  Anyone any idea how to solve this problem?
  Thank you
  Luci

  Hello

  tried to record double-layer of a different brand? Maybe you should try it, because sometimes certain brands are not really taken in charge or not very well. And check the toshiba (or google) pilot site for new drivers or firmware for this drive, sometimes that it really helps.

  I think that the media are not really compatible, I ve read some similar problems in the roxio forum and they solved by using another brand.

  Would be nice if you give some information on this case... :)

• DVD burn on Satellite A100 problem

  I copied a saving a movie to my PVR to my Satellite A100, converted from .rec in .mpg and edited (cut from the ads at the beginning and end). So far, everything was fine - I could read the film edited on my laptop. The problems started when I tried to burn to DVD.

  The first time I tried this, followed by Windows Movie Maker using Windows DVD Maker, it took about two-and-a-half hours (for a record of 1 hour 45 minutes), and then I found that the end of the film was missing!

  My second attempt (same record) used Ulead DVD MovieFactory for Toshiba. It was much faster, taking about 45 minutes, but after trying to read the DVD, I found that about 50 minutes in the film noise stopped - the soundtrack to this point changed to that of the end credits (but not the image) and then fell silent.

  I tried every software application with different media (first, Philips DVD + R; Second, Verbatim DVD + R) and found exactly the same problems every time.

  Could someone suggest what I'm doing wrong before I waste more time or DVDs on this?

  John

  Hi mate,

  I think that during the compression of something, it s logical that the process takes more time. It s like when you compress zip files, if you set a stronger compression that the process would take more time and archive would be less.

  Yes, Don t worry, I sometimes some errors of thought, too. ;)

  Welcome and good weekend
