Re: Satellite A660-10W - connection external display with HDMI cuts sound on

When I use an external display via the HDMI, it mutes the sound of the laptop.
It's OK because the external display has a headphone/speaker output jack.

However, when I close the external screen (which I use for movies only) and to use the laptop only, the sound is cut all the time that the HDMI cable is connected.

I can't hear sound - by harman/kardon speakers or headphone - when the HDMI cable is disconnected (if the external display is turned on or off).

Is there a way to allow me to have the choice and use her laptop - even when the HDMI cable is connected - in order not to keep plugging and plugging on?

Thank you

It is clear.
If the HDMI cable is connected, then the digital output is defined as audio output by default and therefore you do not hear the sound of the internal speakers but on external monitor speakers.

You need to change the sound settings.

Go to control panel of-> sound-> reading tab and set the speakers to laptop as default.
Then you should hear sound from the speakers for laptop!

  • Satellite A660-10W - sensitive arrow

    I have a Satellite A660-10W running Windows 7 64 - bit for about 7 months now. A couple of days, I noticed that the arrow right key has become very sensitive. It feels quite normal just like other keys when press and not really soft to the touch, but the slightest contact to the key force to trigger last. This a major drawback for me since I use it a lot to write (my work) and this button now is not accurate at all and it becomes a problem when I need to use it.

    Could someone help me with this?

    Thanks in advance

    Hey,.

    It is not easy to discuss this problem and I think that this should be checked by a technician of laptop if it s or not normal behavior. I can t say anything about it without seeing it.

    Your laptop is only 7 months old, so I would contact a service provider authorized in your country. In this case the repair is free so ask the guys for help. They should check your keyboard if it needs to be replaced or another part.

    I don't know where you can find an authorized service provider?

    As far as I know this software is part of the original image recovery and cannot be downloaded separately. Toshiba offers updates only.
    > The rep of Toshiba (Mafil) in Israel has changed my hard drive but did not 'recovery '...
    I m not 100% sure, but I think that they are not obliged to install the recovery image. Why? The recovery media (DVD) must be created by the owner of the laptop and used for recovery image installation if something goes wrong with the HARD drive.

    Hello

    You about Egypt?
    Well, I think that it of very hot it right?

    This is so for more why the laptop s modules cooling must run faster than usual.

    In addition, you should check your cooling modules. Possibly, there is a lot of dust and debris. All these fans and cooling grids must be clean! Air needs to circulate and to remove dust and debris.

    I clean my fans using a jet of compressed air. It helps to clean the fans.

  • Resolution + on Satellite A660-10W - finally it works

    My son has been abandoned, but I have not finished his comments.
    I would like you to know that most of the A660 is not installed with a player of DVD from Toshiba and therefore the resolution + does not work.
    Who would have thought that Toshiba do advertising resolution + but not install their own Toshiba DVD player?

    I want to thank all those who helped me, and helped to try to help me, even though ultimately I had to get technical help from the Enduser EMEA complaint team
    due to my initial complaint that my laptop Satellite A660-10W did not carry the resolution +.

    However, I must say that comments like the following comments on the resolution + do no justice to Toshiba and were very helpful:
    1. first its nothing special and the second is not the end of the world if you don't have it on your laptop
    2. you can see the only thing it's done colors watch grow up, not huge improvement and I am sure that there are many programs that offer the same or similar thing.
    3. have u even seen photos I posted? If you knew that ud is not much of an improvement

  • Qosmio G30 - external display problem (HDMI)

    Hello

    I have Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP display with HDMI and DVI (with HDMI DVI converter) entry - I use HDMI as my primary connection. My Qosmio has NVidia 7600 Go card with the latest drivers provided by Toshiba for Vista 32 bit (version 7.15.10.9813).

    My monitor was working fine months ago (same thing with my HDMI TV) I had no problems - but now I have a constant flickering problem (goes black watch my office then becomes black again) computer laptop monitor and no image on external display at all and I get 'balloon' message in the taskbar that my display driver has stopped working and it recovers when I leave my HDMI cable.

    any ideas?

    Thank you
    Bran.

    Hi Brani

    It seems that the error comes from the display driver.
    Why you n t try to remove the old display driver and try to reinstall the graphics driver of the European driver Toshiba page
    You may notice some improvements.

    By the way; It might be useful to know that the Qosmio G30 supports the standard HDMI V1.1 (up to 1080i resolution).

  • Satellite A660-10W with HDCP support

    Hello guys,.

    I have the A660-10W and want to download iTune HD movies
    He said: I need to have a video driver with HDCP (support?) but I don't know, and I do not understand what it is.
    I would appreciate your help - as you have done very well in the past.

    Thanks in advance

    Hello

    HDCP is a copy protection Protocol.
    This Protocol prevents copying of high-definition movies.
    If the system does not support HDCP, you will not be able to send data to the device (TV, LCD) through other ports such as DisplayPort or DVI or HDMI.

    Microsoft Vista and Windows 7 use HDCP screens and computer graphics cards.
    But if you want to watch movies in high definition on an external TV, you must ensure that both HDMI ports on TV and laptop support HDCP.

    But it seems that Sat A660-10W does not support HDMI port and so you will not be able to watch as the HDCP protected HD movies on external monitors.

  • rMbp mid-2014, external display with the quality of the retina

    Hello!

    I buy a Dell 24 "external display to connect to my rMBP with QHD (2 560 x 1 440) resolution.

    http://www1.euro.Dell.com/content/products/ProductDetails.aspx/Dell-u2515h-monit or? c = en & l = en & s = dhs & cs = frdhs1

    I have connected the screen to my mbp with the mini display / port cable supplied with the display screen. It works well, but I don't have quality of retina at all (the images seems good but the text is terrible)

    The text have a bad record as a retina screen, and it makes a big difference when I spend my retina display to the external display which is not comfortable at all.

    I though that this kind of screen was OK to view the retina... but I was wrong. I try to connect with minidisplay / display and HDMI! HDMI made was worse than minidisplay. The res in the system report show was good 2 560 x 1 440. I even try the hack to force with the patch, but always bad RGB render text...

    More important, I want to, it's having the same record as retina on the text and images. What external display can be good for this?

    My budget is 450-€500

    Thank you

    The size in pixels of the screen is not mean much: a small display to 2560 x 1440 pixels seems much sharper than a widescreen 2560 x 1440 pixels.

    Your retina Macbook has something like 220 dpi (DPI in English), the Dell screen only 117. If you want the same sharpness, you will need to choose a display with 220 dpi. But then, everything on the screen will look much smaller. Here is a tool that allows you to get the idea: http://dpi.lv/

    We want a solution to this problem, the problem also, a lot of this version A660-10W, many complain about 'Windows Freeze!'

    Hello

    If you are authorized distributor so I put t understand why you n t get in touch with Toshiba. He is a man of the official user forum

  • Satellite A660 - Internet connection is very slow

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A660-guest 1GT, bought the Poland and I have a problem with the internet. Where I live there is a wireless router and my laptop connects to the wireless but the internet works very slowly. I have a older laptop which I use in parallel on which the internet is much faster. When I clicked on the network and diagnose the problem, there was a message that the connection seems to be broken. In addition, the number of packages I'm sending is twice or three times less than the package I receive.

    I took out the battery, reconfigure power settings, reinstalled both drivers for the LAN and wireless, all uninstalled programs of eternal but the internet is still very slow. I have to wait more than 10 minutes to load a video on youtube. Which, on my old computer, it must be about 1 min. can you please advise me what to do?

    P.S. I donno if that counts. I got Windows 7 in Polish and I installed an English pack with vistalizator,

    Thank you!

    Hey,.

    Is Internet connection too slow when you connect the Ethernet cable? So, you can determine whether the problem is related to the Internet itself router or WLAN connectivity.

    Generally speaking, it is difficult to say something about the WIFI configuration and router. In your case I also get in touch with your internet service provider and ask for the correct router configuration. They can also tell you how to set up the laptop to go online. :)

  • Question about consumption on the Satellite A660-10W

    My A660-10W (new) was wrong and Toshiba (Mafil in Israel) has changed the hard drive.
    Now the computer acts differently that before when I got it like new.

    For example; and my question is:
    1. After about 15 minutes, it automatically goes into sleep mode.
    I understand that the setting can be changed, however I would like to know if this happens when something is running?
    either I left the WD external BACK-UP running, but he fell asleep...
    2. the same thing will happen if Im watching a movie, for example?

    Thank you

    Laptop can't handle in different way. I guess you are using the recovery of images (Toshiba original Win7) and parameters are exactly the same as before.
    # Yes, you can change it. Simply enter the change plan settings for the power plan that you use, and where you can change the time when the laptop should go to mode "Eve". You can also disable using Pétion NEVER.
    # I can't say with certainty, but on my computer laptop doesn t go "standby mode", when I watch the movie. Test it. Set for 2 minutes and put on a movie.
