Re: Satellite L500 - crackling noise when audio plays

Hi all

I bought a few weeks ago L500 (Windows 7 64-bit). Everything is fine except for the sound. 1 h or more after running computer, the speakers begin to produce a "cracking", "metal" noise when the audio is reproducible, regardless of the source (CD, system sounds, movies, MP3s...). It's just like there are hundreds of "micro-pannes". The same thing with the headphones. This seems also affect all media files, for example the length of 10-minute videos take 12 minutes or so play due to these micro-interruptions. The sound gets worse over time and gets normal once the system is rebooted, but a few minutes later the noise comes back.

I have all the latest Toshiba driver implemented to date, BIOS, LAN, sound cards, etc..

What can I do? Any idea will be welcome.

Thanks in advance.

Hello

I don't know much L500 series but creaking sound is annoying problem for A500 series. I think that a graphics card driver is a troublemaker. If your laptop is equipped with an nvidia graphics card, go to his site and update a Vga driver. In my case, it solved my problem. (B-)

    Hey Buddy,

    Have you plugged external speakers to your laptop and you can notice this problem here? Maybe it's a problem of the internal speakers

    And how upgrading to Windows 7? Have you used the kit upgrade Toshiba or Microsoft Windows 7 disc?

    I never heard on an issue also, so I also recommend the update to the BIOS. You can check from Toshiba Web site for an update.
    Before start you the update to ensure that all programs are closed and you are logged on as administrator.

  • Re: Satellite L670-142 - overheating when I play a game

    First I got keyboard problems with my Satellite L670-142, then it was fixed by an update of the BIOS (version 1.80).

    But now, when I play a game, it overheats and stops. Before updating the BIOS, I have never had this problem. Is it possible to install the previous BIOS or anyone know another solution?

    Brecht

    Hey,.

    If your laptop is overheating, you should try to clean using compressed air stream. This could blow the dust from the cooling fans that blocks the air. It only takes a few minutes to clean and it s not necessary to disassemble the laptop.

    Just blow air gently and shortly into the holes of the case to blow off the dust.
    Before that, shut down the laptop and remove the battery and the AC adapter.

  • Re: Satellite L500-1WH stuck when updating BIOS

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L500-1HW, and today TEMPRO shown to me three alerts, one of them on a BIOS update. When I tried to run the application to update the BIOS (Phoenix UEFI WinFlash) he completed the first four steps, "Load the new BIOS", "Analyze old and new BIOS compatibility ', 'Reading old BIOS' and 'Save old BIOS to the backup file', but when he reached the stage of the las,"New Flash BIOS", he got stuck displaying the message 'Region of programming Bios... '. ». Now the laptop is turned on and in fact I can use it as the application of the BIOS update does not block the system, but I don't know what to do, I dare not just to finalize the program because I don't know if the BIOS is right.

    Please help me with this problem.

    Thank you.

    Hey,.

    Do you have any other programs like Internet browser, Skype or something else? All programs must be closed before you start the update of the BIOS, even AntiVirus, firewall, etc. In addition, the update should be done as an administrator

    In General, the BIOS update is not necessary. If only TEMPRO presents a new version, there is no reason to update. Never touch a running system ;)

  • Progress bar when audio plays on a slide with the button

    Hello

    I use 6 Captivate.

    I have a zipper opening for my demo that introduced the demo. This slide contains 1-3 minutes of audio. On this slide, I have a standard button named 'Start', that the learner must click Start the demo (which is on the next slide). I also have a PlayBar with rewind, Play/Pause, Back, Next buttons and Audio.

    Once the project starts, the Play/Pause button on the playback bar turns into mode 'Play '. This, I believe, is an expected behavior because of the presence of the 'button '. However, it causes me problems because, if the learner clicks on the 'Play' button (instead of the start or next buttons) after the end of the audio to the slide of the opening, the progress on the playback bar bar moves for the duration of the audio, so that nothing changes on the screen.

    Is it possible that I can:

    1. Move the progress bar with the button Play/Pause in "Pause" mode when opening, slide audio playback and switch to 'Play' mode once the audio ends? In this case,.

    a. If the learner pauses the audio by clicking Pause and then click on Play, it must continue with the audio.

    b. If the student click on the play button after the audio ends must take sound to the next slide.

    2. turn off the Play/Pause button so that the learner will not click on it?

    I don't want to hide the PlayBar on this slide as I want to give the Rewind option to the learner so play the audio again if he / she wants.

    Anthony

    A colleague found an easier solution than the one I was talking about earlier.

    He just moved the point to pause the start until the end of the slide button. Now, the progress on the playback bar bar moves with audio and the Play/Pause button passes in "Play" mode when audio stops at the end of the slide. On clicking the play button, the project will move to the next slide.

  • Satellite A500-132 - stop when you play

    Hi, mate

    You are not the 1st person in this forum who has such a problem with the A500. The most possible reason is overheating. Have you enabled, maximum performance, in the cooling method in power management? In addition, you should try to clean it with compressed air stream...

  • Satellite A500-1 - stops when I play games

    Hello!

    I'm having some serious heat and fan with my Toshiba laptop problems. First data:
    The laptop is on and a half a year old. His turning point under Windows 7 64-bit. I cleaned it about 2 days ago and many times before (dust in the fan cooling etc..). Toshiba drivers are up-to-date and I already use a cooling block.

    When I play games sometimes, my laptop suddenly stops immediately, due to overheating problems. The strange thing is that, when this happens, the fan is not nearly at maximum speed. When I restart the computer after such a judgment, the fan fire suddenly at maximum speed, until the laptop even once cooled.

    I started watching my CPU and GPU, and my fan speed temperatures while playing games, and I recognized, that the temperatures increase normally, but most of the time the fan remains at its current speed. Even if Toshiba PC Health Monitor shows, that the fan speed goes from 40% to 90% the fan is actually at a low speed.

    From time to time it happens that the fan suddenly triggers her speed, but it lowers again after 1 or 2 minutes, while the indicated fan speed remains constantly at 90%. Somehow, I'd understand if the laptop would be closed despite the entirely fan running, but insufficient fan controlling? Come on Toshiba.

    In addition this problem worsens every day. Anyone who has any suggestions to solve this problem?

    Greetings
    Thomas?

    Hey Buddy,

    Interesting story, but how do I clean the fan exactly? Did you use a jet of compressed air to blow the dust from the cooling fans?
    Another reason could be the display driver itself. As you can see in other threads if you are using a Toshiba display driver they might cause of overheating because they don t have a protection against overheating and other thermal management. So it is important to use only Toshiba display drivers.

    What version of BIOS you have installed right now?

    AFAIK BIOS version latest contains another management fan so I'll try to update. You can download the latest version here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads

    In general the fan will be controlled automatically and you can t he control you. Just make sure you use power plan to high performance for the games.

  • Can not hear noise when you play online

    I can't hear sound when I play any game steam or Windows Live online. As soon as I stop trying to play multiplayer online, the sound works fine. If I reduce the window and try to check to see if my sound works, my computer tells me its working properly and I hear the sound "your" if I adjust the volume but nothing else. If I try to play my iTunes when I play an online game, I don't understand that either, although again, it works as soon as I stop to play multiplayer online. Why is this happening?

    Hello

    1 did you change on your computer before this problem?

    2. this problem happens only steam and Windows Live?

    3. what web browser is running on your computer?

    Each program has a unique setting to turn on and turn off the sound. See the (manual) for certain keys product documentation or the game settings to "switch" the sound on or off.

    Check to see if the problem exists in a clean boot state.

    After a while the games have begun to block, even the call of duty 2, I play 5 minutes, and then after 5 minutes to block the departure of about 5-6 seconds and then is good and if all the minutes. I don't know what to do and ask for help

    Thank you

    It is not easy to say what the problem is here. I imagine that some background processes are active and the HARD disk must be busy then you will see that the game crashes or stutters.

    It may be an antivirus application that scans the HARD drive or something similar.
    Have you tried to unplug the laptop from the LAN/WLAN, close all the race but not need process/applications and switch to high performance power plan before you start your game?

    Please play with all this stuff. I mean that Win7 works better on these books like Vista so I think it must be a software related issue somehow.
