External microphone not detected and faulty internal mic on Satellite Pro U400

I have had several headphones with microphone and taken headphones 3.5 and the laptop just will not detect them. I tried to disable the internal sound system, or just the MIC internal, but not luck.

The internal MIC is a (stronger if the external microphone is plugged) whirring background noise which means I can't use it for work.

Any help is appreciated!

Which is really strange.
Are you using the original recovery image Toshiba and Toshiba driver sound?

U400 is older model laptop and I would like to know since when you have this problem.
I can't imagine that you got from day1.

  • I need to replace the battery and AC adapter of the Satellite Pro U400-160

    I have a Satellite Pro U400-160.

    I need to replace the battery and the charger of my Toshiba, but I am wary about compatibility issues.

    Any battery for Satellite Pro U400 is suitable for mine?
    As I can't find which batteries are specifically suitable for my computer.

    (For example: is this a: http://www.amazon.es/Bater%C3%ADa-Toshiba-Satellite-U400-11V-7800mAh/dp/B0051A9Y88/ref=sr_1_cc_2?s=aps&ie=UTF8&qid=1366885340&sr=1-2-catcorr&keywords=satellite+pro+u400?)

    Is there a quick way to check if a battery / charger are compatible?

    Each battery and adapter you get from Toshiba has specific part number. All you have to do is use this same part number and order. You should be able to find on the internet.
    You can also get compatible parts you are ordering by the Toshiba authorized service provider in your country.

    By the way: all U400 models have the same construction and the similar specifications then all the batteries specified for U400 can be used on your U400-160.

    Hello
    I have a problem with my Equium A200-1V0 (running Vista Home Premium).

    It is equipped with a microphone input, but I can't do recognize external microphones, or detect sounds.
    He won't let me launch the Windows Sound Recorder software, because it signals that * no. recording device * is installed.
    I've seen this mentioned on other external forums, but have yet to find an answer.

    If the sound card is equipped to record / captures sound via the external microphone jack?
    If so, what should I do to activate it?
    Otherwise, why have a microphone?

  • CD/DVD-ROM problems, drive not detected AND the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager

    I'm having serious problems here. My CD/DVD-ROM drive is not detected and will not answer. I can ONLY open the drawer at the beginning of my computer laptop startup. The drive does not appear in my computer and the category of CD/DVD-ROM does not appear in Device Manager. Therefore, the "uninstall/reinstall" is impossible if the computer behaves as it has never been this drive now or never. Previously, I was able to use it as there was no problem, but someday, it's simply not there.

  • Dynadock and Satellite Pro U400-135 - external monitor question

    Hello.
    We have a serious problem on the 26 dynadock vga e Satellite Pro U400-135 unit

    The problem is:
    If set to host as a single external monitor during startup frequent windows loses resolution external monitor.

    Example of resolution monitor post seting like 1280 x 1024, start with connected dyndaock, frequent resolution 1280 x 800 not correct and external monitor image not correct.

    Operating system is Vista 32 bit, driver dynadock is 2.3 update and dynadock displaylink displaylink site 4.6.16208 site.
    Same problem with Windows Xp 32 bit.

    How can I solve the problem?

    Hello

    If I understand the first message, external monitor resolution automatically goes to 1280 x 800 even if you set it to 1280 x 1024.
    I guess that your external monitor is connected to the dynadock.
    Is this good?

    AFAIK, you can customize the video settings of the dynodock.
    It provides a video output in two modes: Mode and extended Mode of mirror.

    Mirror mode creates an identical display of your computer to the external monitor screen. In mirror Mode, the dynadock automatically selects the settings (screen resolution, color quality and discount rates) for the external monitor that will allow the best resolution based on your computer's settings.

    Maybe you use the mirror mode and therefore the dynadock the resolution automatically because it of the best for the external monitor.

    I recommend checking the Dynadock manual for more details.
    There are two modes are described there.

  • Satellite Pro U400-130 - Conexant and 'Stereo Mix' in question

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-130 (downgraded from Vista to XP) with the Conexant High Definition SmartAudio 221 "audio card" installed.

    Although this seems to support HD audio, I can't find any option to use or activate the "Stereo Mix" option in the Windows console. I tried a few settings to registry and some different drivers, but so far, the option remained absent.

    I know this forum and other comments on the net that Conexant audio cards do not support the stereo mix, but I was wondering if someone could confirm that this is certainly the case for SmartAudio 221?

    Similarly, anyone know of another method to record the sound 'as heard' on the computer? So Far, the options appear to be a) buy an external sound card, or b) connect the plug headphone mini-jack on the mic with a cable jack.

    After using a p3500 old Portege of 8 quite happy with this function (actually pretty basic), it is very disappointing to find that this card cannot support it.

    See you soon,.
    Select this option.

    > I can't find any option to use or activate the "Stereo Mix" option in the Windows mixer
    > I know this forum and other reviews on the net that the Conexant sound cards may not support stereo > Mix, but I was wondering if anyone could confirm this is certainly the case for SmartAudio 221?

    I can confirm this because I have a laptop (NOT from Toshiba one) that was equipped with the Conexant audio chip and the other laptop (Toshiba Satellite a series has) that supports the Realtek audio chip.

    The machine with Realtek audio chip contains stereo mix and the other non-Toshiba unit that supports the audio chip Conexant does not support the stereo mix

    As far as I know the update of the driver won't help you because it looks like a hardware limitation of chip Conexant!

    However, thanks for the info about the Virtual Audio Cable tool.
    I think I'll try it next time

    There is no internal DVD burner for this camera! It is a SIMPLE fact. He must accept it.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - 12 p: Vista 64 bit audio driver has no - no microphone

    I have the Satellite Pro U400 - 12 p.
    I installed the Vista 64 bit, because I upgraded the ram to 4 GB.
    Now, Conexant driver does not work.
    Just as it should, even tried downloaded the 32-bit Version.
    None.

    It shows that it can be upgraded, then 'install' file, and at the end, it shows "Failure."
    The cause of it, it shows that I have no audio output installed. = speakrs do not work and the MIC of course.

    Only when I remove the driver in Device Manager and restart the machine, it becomes thin.

    So, what's the problem?

  • Satellite Pro U400 - audio quality is not good

    OK this problem has been plaging me for years. I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 windows 8.1.

    The sound quality is terrible.
    I can remember it's bad in windows 7.

    Contextant driver is bad, and so is the generic driver windows 8.1.

    Help, please

    To be honest, I have no idea what you mean exactly by the quality is terrible.
    I've owned a notebook Satellite U400 happened and I have to say that the sound quality was quite good.

    Satellite U400 is a small portable 13.3 and the speakers have been adjusted to the dimensions of the laptop.
    The Conexant audio chip is part of the motherboard and you will not be able to replace it.

    If you want to use another sound card, you can try to use an external USB audio interface.
    I use this external sound solution for my home recording studio.

    The audio interface is connected to the USB port of the laptop s and the external speakers are initiated for the external audio interface.

    By the way: isn't Satellite U400 is the list of the supported 8.1 notebooks... Win so you won't find not all drivers Win 8.1 for this unit on the Toshiba driver website.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - How can I get the native screen resolution for external monitor?

    I have a samsung syncmaster external screen connected to a Satellite Pro U400.

    How can I get the samsung to display full screen expanded to save my eyes of the realativively small screen internal?

    Hello!

    Have you tried to update the display on your laptop driver? Check the Toshiba site for an update:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    In addition, it would be interesting to know if you are running the factory settings or you have installed your own version of Windows?
    And what operating system are you using? Have you installed all Windows updates?

    For external LCD, monitors, you must set the screen refresh rate of 60 Hz.
    And if you want to change the resolution of the screen, you must select the second monitor in the graphics options on Windows.
