On Satellite P100-160 speakers crackling

Hi all

I have recently come to buy a new P100 - 160 and overall I am impressed bits with it.

However, there is one thing that is really upset me... and this is the sound quality.

When I bought the computer laptop one of the points of sale, it was that he had "Harman/Kardon" who are supposed to be really, really good. Now, from 3D / Surround sound point of view, I must say that they seem certainly lives up to what I was told.

However - in terms of 'volume capacity' speakers seems not to give maximum... and I don't have to have the volume to the point that neighbors can here it is!

Turn the speakers more than about 1/4 of the way, and the very crazy - especially when he plays speakers/crackle anything with even a slight bit of bass.

I tried to change the equalizer and the volume in Media Player settings, but that didn't help either.

If someone has had this problem, or anyone know what can be the solution?

Thank you
Kessa

You re right.
Certainly, the laptop comes with Harman/kardon speakers and usually these speakers also known as the 'good quality '.
That's why I studied a bit in this forum for similar issues and found this link to the Toshiba document on crackling noise on Satellite P100.
http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB6801JF0000R01.htm

It seems the BIOS and driver update should be done.
A tip: you can try to remove the old audio driver files before installing the new.

Good luck

  • Satellite P100-160 BT icon appears in the Control Panel, but no BT

    Hello

    I have a Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not.

    * Reasons I thought that I had BT: *.
    I thought originally I had, because in 'Control Panel', it has a Bluetooth icon, which when I press on it opens the "Bluetooth devices". I also use WiFi I thought a sign that BT has been installed and working. I also notice that in Services' there is that something called 'Toshiba Bluetooth Service' running.

    * Reasons I think that now I don't have BT: *.
    However, when I press Control Panel > Bluetooth devices > Bluetooth settings, nothing happens. It's as if the button is dead. And when I try to 'Add a BT device', he finds not all devices. In addition, there is no BT listed in Device Manager.

    .....

    Overall, I am very confused! I bought yesterday wireless speakers after seeing the BT icon in Control Panel (I had read that if this icon was there, I got BT), but having struggled for hours trying to get BT to work yesterday, I came to the conclusion that I don't have BT at all!

    Could someone explain what it means the Bluetooth icon in the control panel? Why is there if I don't have BT? Or, the icon means I have BT but am doing something wrong?

    Thanks in advance! Very frustrated!

    > Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not

    Satellite P100-160 was NOT equipped with Bluetooth module.
    But maybe the battery BT software has been installed and is why the BT icon is visible in the control panel.

  • Satellite P100-160 where can I get a new battery quickly?

    I got a Toshiba Satellite P100-160 (17 "screen version) for about three and a half years now and the battery is toast.

    The battery I States the following:

    I do not want to export the wrong model and I travel abroad to marry in seven days and I want a notebook fully functioning take overseas with me.

  • Satellite P100-160: Question about upgrade HARD drive

    I would replace the internal hard drive to a larger size, but I don't know who is compatible.
    Here is a link to dabs where they have 5 hard drives, but not sure if they will work.

    Would be nice to get some tips on this thanks.
    I have a Satellite P100-160 that currently has a 120 GB hard drive, it is not enough!

    Hello

    I downloaded the user manual for this laptop from the Toshiba page and it says that you can use the 160 GB HARD drive.
    I think that he n t be a problem to use a bigger like 200 HDD or 250 GB.

    Sat P100 supports a SATA HDD controller and you should therefore use the HARD drive 2.5 SATA.

  • Satellite P100-160 - several PCI bus do not work with a shadow video BIOS

    Hello

    I got my Satellite P100-160 for about five years now and have never had any problems like this before.
    A few weeks ago my system did not (or something like that), so I pressed the power down button to turn it off.
    Then, as he was put on, he seemed to freeze on the loading page and so I held the off button again.

    The present results are when I turn it on, I get a screen telling me several bus PCI etc do not work and he says 'video occult BIOS.
    I then have the option to press F1 to resume or F2 to enter setup.

    In addition, one of my USB slots has completely stopped working and my card slot has also stopped working.
    Can someone help me please? I'm on Windows XP, SP2.

    See you soon,.
    Liam

    Hello

    I think that you need to access the BIOS (press F2 when the laptop starts up) and put its default value.
    Then try to start the Vista again and press F8.
    Then you will get a menu of advanced start it you should choose repair computer.
    Vista supports a clean internal repair option, you should try this and must repair the operating system.

    If this will not help and you still want to not be able to start a view, then a system recovery may be the best option for you

  • Satellite P100-160 - screen Vertical burst

    Satellite P100-160 my son has developed a fault on the screen that no one seems able to identify the cause of.

    If you imagine that the screen is divided into six equal vertical columns about 3 inches wide, the third vibrates from top down so that the image is blurry. Sometimes it stops after an hour - but recently it just keeps going. The other "columns" are very good. What is the screen itself (easily replaceable), or the video card (on the motherboard) or another component such as the inverter?
    For now I'm not sure if scrap it and buy a new one or replace the screen.

    Any ideas?

    Hey,.

    I think that the best way to address this issue must connect to an external monitor to your laptop. If you notice the same problem on external monitor the problem is related to the graphics card itself. If the display is faulty and must be replaced.

    Then connect an external monitor and check what's happening!

  • Audio problems when playing and the screen fades on Satellite P100-160

    Hi, I bought a new Toshiba Satellite P100-160 of Currys today.
    I bought it for the primary purpose of the use of broadcast software OtsAV playing at live concerts between shows.
    Any audio device I play glitches in places if I use OtsAv or Windows Media Player. It is not constant, but there's something not quite right with her.

    I also noticed that the screen will dim sometimes, then clear up again without reason apparent.

    Any ideas what the problem may be?

    It happens when the fan starts and stops?

  • Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE Vista: all my Toshiba Utilities stopped working

    All of my Toshiba Utilities stopped working.
    Message appears saying "* stopped working" windows is looking for a solution.

    It was after that updates have been installed in the correct order as posted earlier in the forum. Not only the value added package configfree as well as PC diagnosis, etc.

    I have a Satellite P100 - 160 PSPAAE under Vista Home Premium.

    Any ideas? I think that perhaps is McAfee Security Center has something to do with it.

    Hello

    I suggest the following: recover your machine and update tools and drivers again. I don't know if McAfee is the cause of your problem, but if a system is broken on the software side, then, among the most popular and useful actions is to restore the system, and then being happy when it works again.

    Would appreciate comments on your success.

  • Question about the update of value added for the Satellite P100-160 package

    Hello

    I got an email off the coast of Toshiba today telling me there is a value added package update available (PVAT (v1.0.25).
    I downloaded and unpacked. It contains three options:
    2 don't buttons, button 6, no button but there is no readme etc to tell me which version is my P100-160.

    I have added, trying to install one of them gives me an error that it has already installed older versions that should be deleted everything first.

    Can someone advise please that I should use?
    Thank you!

    Hi guys

    Value added package contains many different Toshiba and utility tools!
    Satellite P100-160 belongs to the PSPAA series! So, you should always choose this series if you want to download the drivers from the Toshiba page!
    This number can be checked on the bottom of the unit.

    I visited the page of the Toshiba driver and checked the details.
    You will find an info that this package installs a range of important public services.
    -TOSHIBA components common Driver: this module is an essential component of Windows Vista. He will have to make the other original programming TOSHIBA works correctly.
    -TOSHIBA Power Saver: The energy saver controls energy by opting for optimal power settings, if the machine is connected or battery-based knowledge and based on the remaining battery power.
    -TOSHIBA utility: this program allows you to customize the settings of your hardware, depending on how you work with your computer and the devices you use. To start the utility, click the Start button and select Control Panel, and select Configuration HW TOSHIBA icon.
    -TOSHIBA password utility: this utility allows you to set a password that restricts access to the computer.
    -TOSHIBA Flash Cards: This utility provides the Hotkey function and the function of pitcher who starts the keyboard shortcut function and sends the other TOSHIBA utilities.
    -TOSHIBA PC Di

    In my opinion, if you want to update the package of value added, you must remove all the tools of this and after new reboot you must install it again

  • Satellite P100-160 (PSPAAE-01D00UEN) - upgrade processor

    I currently have a Satellite P100-160 part number: PSPAAE-01D00UEN. Is it possible to upgrade the processor in this machine, I find it very slow in the graphics work I do.

    Any other suggestions as to speed up the machine would be greatly received.

    Thank you

    Ian

    Hi IanGreen,

    A CPU upgrade is not possible, or let s say not supported. All that is supported is the preinstalled Toshiba CPU. If you want another CPU, sometimes at your own risk. Probably the motherboard, BIOS or chipset is not able to handle this or the cooling module is not good enough for faster CPU

    Anyway, your laptop is not the most recent, and if you need more performance, you should look for a new model ;)

  • Satellite P100-160: I want a replacement for Vista to XP

    I'm having so much trouble with vista which is preinstalled on my satellite p100-160.

    I want a refund on Vista or better still for Toshiba provide a copy of XP replacement.

    She can tell me who I need to contact Toshiba. Thank you

    Hi my friend

    You're not alone and many other users installing WXP on laptops preinstalled Vista. Contact Toshiba won't help you at all. Don't waste your time and install your Windows on your laptop. On this forum, you can find some very interesting topics about installing Windows XP Home on Satellite P100.

    If I remember well, only problem may be the use of external microphone connected to the mic port.

    If you have more questions about the installation of Windows XP Home edition please write again.

  • Re: Satellite P100-160 - failed display driver installation

    Satellite P100-160, PSPAAE, 32-bit vista.

    Today, Aero is not working and not available in graphics properties. Later installed the site of Toshiba UK, 15.0.1.1114 Intel display driver. This version was actually older than my current driver but I thought that maybe she was the only availabel that it must be correct.

    The driver installation failed with an error (no details don't just "year error has occurred"). Now, I don't have aero and my screen resolution cannot be set above 1280 x 800 - 1440 x 900 is expected

    To say that I'm pisseed would be an understatement. Can anyone help? Thank you

    Hey,.

    If Aero is not available I think that it s display driver problem

    In any case, did you remove the old display driver before installing a new? Go to Device Manager > right click on the graphics card > uninstall. After the restart the display driver must be uninstalled and you can start with the display driver installation.

    If you install drivers make sure you are logged in as administrator and antivirus/firewall is disabled. Reboot once again and you should be able to choose the native screen resolution now.
