• 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

• Satellite A215 S4767 Chicony USB 2.0 camera does not work with Skype

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A215-S4767 with Vista Ultimate 32.
  I checked the drivers and they work, I have 10 Diretcx and it works.

  When I open the camera program, it works well.
  I put the camera program is not at initial start-up of laptop.
  I start the laptop, Skype open and figure that the camera does not work and say to check what I've done.

  Yesterday, I had installed the Skype 5.5.0.114 version and the camera has functioned well, I upgraded Skype version 5.5.0.117 and the camera started not to work.

  Hello

  > Yesterday I had installed version Skype 5.5.0.114 and the camera has functioned well, I upgraded Skype version 5.5.0.117 and the camera started not to work.

  This means that it is not software for laptop problem or a webcam, but maybe it s Skype related issue.
  You should check if the webcam has been chosen correctly in Skype video settings.

  If this does not work, uninstall the 5.5.0.117 version of the system, reboot the laptop, clean the registry using CCleaner (freeware tool) and then after reboot again to install the 5.5.0.117 again if not check the 5.5.0.114 a version that worked correctly in the past.

• Satellite A215-s4697 - HARD drive round and round

  I have a Satellite A215-s4697. AMD Turion 54 x 2 Dual Core technology tl-52 with 1 GB of ram.
  Windows Vista Edition Home Premium.

  The hard drive on this thing just turns and turns and that the computer is slow.
  Im making here mail web (IE is the only thing that I opened) and it runs without interruption.
  Sometimes the computer crashes then releases sometimes it says: "Windows Explorer has stopped working" and I restart.

  When I plug it to the tv to watch a show off hulu.com, for example, the player can run for 10 minutes before Detroit back work.
  However, then it works. That's so slow that it's frustrating.

  Any ideas.

  I tried the improve performance including removal of old programs, clean disc of deleted files and installers, ect.

  Thank you.

  Hi Seahunt,

  First of all, you must back up all data on the HARD drive. If the disk HARD still turns upward it sounds like this it becomes defective and must be replaced don t store on important data

  You can get a new HDD to a service provider authorized or an another computer store. As much as I now you need a HARD drive with SATA interface.

• Small Windows XP need help for Satellite A215-S5849

  Hello

  I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A215-S5849, which came with Windows Vista home premium.
  Some time previously, I installed Windows XP SP3 and I also installed some drivers I found here:

  [Page where I downloaded the drivers, click on: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp]

  I had to choose model A210 coz there is no available Satellite A215 (but its probably comparable, coz on my Vista CD provided with the drivers, he also says its for A210/A215)

  Main problem is... is there a simple way to get all the drivers XP for A215... [It is another page, where I have tried exactly my laptop and WIN XP drivers, its many for vista. Select this option to filter for XP... not many riders to tell me id, click on | http://www.CSD.Toshiba.com/cgi-bin/TAIS/Su/su_sc_modItemList.jsp?MOID=1998646&RPN=PSAFGU&CT=D L&BV_SessionID=@@@1886836112.1220191695@@@&BV_En gineID = cccfadefdejeidmcgfkceghdgngdgnn.0]

  I have this small problem I'd like to solve:

  1) Fn + F5 does not work... I have 2 monitors and I can't use the Fn + F5 keyboard shortcut... I have downloaded the driver... and other Fn keys work... but not F5... I searched the forum and the web and found something that I should have a "devices utility display change of ' installed, but this is only available for notebooks (Ive looked, but I found only old driver for this). How can I make Fn + F5 works under Win XP on A215?

  (2) also in my device manager I have three "Base system device" undentified "other instruments". Is this ok... or do I have some drivers or something?

  (3) and I have a question about this utility: [link here, click on: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_dtlViewDL.jsp?soid=1903653&moid=1998646&rpn= PSAFGU&BV_SessionID=@@@0768822790.1220188011@@@& BV_EngineID = cccfadefdejeidmcgfkceghdgngdgnn.0 & ct = D L & all_docs = false]
  This would install all the drivers available for the laptop? If not, what will do, perhaps to update?

  (4) and also... multimedia keys... is possible to select play/pause, stop, next, prev buttons to program other than windows media player. ID like to run these keys on winamp, Ive downloaded a plugin for winamp, and it worked on Vista, but not on XP... in the control of Toshiba utility I can only sellect programs start with the CD/DVD and Internet buttons. Ive read sound is not possible, but it worked when I installed the plugin on Vista.

  Please read this and help.
  -----------------------

  Just in case I added the drivers I installed below. Do not really need to read what I think, but I add...

  The discs that I have installed:

  Hotkey Utility, Toshiba
  Common module, Toshiba
  Controls, Toshiba
  Display driver, ATI
  Toshiba Power Saver
  His driver, Realtek Semiconductor Corporation
  Utilities SD
  Wireless Lan Client Manager, Atheros
  Touch Pad Driver, Synaptics
  CPU driver, AMD
  Atheros wlan driver
  Software of the camera, Chicony

  Available pilots were fairly simple, coz there are an only one available for LAN, audio, Hotkeys etc. I so did not have much choice. I also checked for the material they were made and manufacturer who they are (I found the good... for example, the realtek drivers for my device realtek audio...)

  > I had to choose model A210 coz there is no available Satellite A215 (but its probably similar coz my CD with the drivers on Vista it says also it s for A210/A215)

  The A215 is a series of portable US and typically you use the Toshiba driver page us in order to get all of the compatible XP drivers.
  There is no guarantee that drivers Toshiba XP from the European page driver Toshiba work fine on the laptop Toshiba us.

  With regard to the point;

  (1) you are right. Change the display control device utility the FN + F5 key combination and the Hotkey Utility are also the FN + F5 combination work.
  This tool is available for some A210 series such as the PSAFGE series. But it does not work on all A210/A215 series.

  (2) this could be a card reader. Check if it s already installed. But note; After installing XP you will always have yellow exclamation points in Device Manager because some hardware rely only on Windows Vista. There is therefore no Windows XP driver.

  (3) in my opinion the Toshiba Software updates for Windows Vista/XP reminds on a few new updates of software available that have been published on the U.S. from Toshiba page.

  (4) I have the same problem and I think there is no way to change this in XP.
  Toshiba utility for XP controls is simply different that the version for Vista and in my eyes there is nothing to do.

• Can't turn on my Satellite A215

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A215, was used for 1 year and a half. One day, suddenly, he just made a short "pop" sound and crashed. Cannot activate it since then.

  More than that, small fires showing me the connection ca, use of the HDD, etc. battery status are also dead. Normally, the battery one had all the time, even if the laptop is offline. In addition, I noticed that when I plug in the charger, it starts to beep. The charger is very well, it has been tested on other laptops, and I also tried to use another charger for my laptop, without result.
  My warranty is gone, so I can't count on that. I brought the laptop Toshiba official service, they told me that they have to replace the motherboard (it would cost more than a new laptop). They do not work with motherboards, they just replace them.

  My question would be if there is any chance to repair the motherboard (assuming that the power circuit chip is a party, or something like that).
  Someone knows something about it?

  Thank you for your time

  Hello

  Not as good as s, what happened with your laptop, but you could try to remove the battery and the AC adapter, wait an hour and then reconnect the battery and the AC adapter and try it.

  In the worst cases, the motherboard needs to be replaced, and I doubt that the motherboard can be repaired. It's very complicated.

• Satellite A215-S4757 blue screen & startup failure after HARD drive partitioning

  I just bought a Satellite A215-S4757 a week ago & I tried to divide my hard drive coz, I was only one partion (250 GB) using acronis disk director.

  After that I got the blue screen and now I failed to start and I tried all the options to repair my windows or load in SafeMode to no avail coz it crashes just from the window of microsoft corporation.

  I tried to reinstall windows vista with the cd but still does not!
  pls someone helo me :(

  Hello

  Creator of disc of Acronis does not for me but I know for sure that you can split the capacity of the HARD drive into two partitions with rendering recovery DVDs. Start your laptop with recovery DVDs and check the option to install it.

  You must have a mobile US model. I am from Europe and I don't know about you how it works with the recovery media in the United States, but it should be similar to the European and because of that it must be an option to divide the capacity of the HARD disk with two partitions.

  Please try again. It should work somehow.

• High temperature CPU on Satellite A215

  Hello

  My Satellite A215 is 3 months old. I use coolfan 4.33. and my temperature is 89 degrees now... This is not normal. How is that possible? What should I do?

  To be honest, that you should not believe all you in these third party applications. For me it is certainly not the result of better and more relevant. The question is: you have problems with your laptop? Cooling fan runs on maximum speed only?

  If your laptop works well there is no reason to panic. If you notice that any part of your laptop is extremely hot I recommend you contact the service in your country, and they can check your laptop with real diagnostic tools.

  When you use your laptop to make sure that nothing obstructs the rack cooling.
