Satalite P100-188: Sound Volume low quality and no energy saving.

Hello
I already owned the Satalite P30 - 110 and found the sound quality very good - so I chose to upgrade to the P100-188 as a logical step but at a higher price.

I found that the quality of the sound on the P100-188 is far below and even quieter and more slender, almost seems like a cheap passive speakers for PC but stronger together.

Is it likely that my new laptop is down or is it a normal question on the new model?
If this is a normal problem, I regret the purchase as its is important to me.
The Power Saver utility that I liked in the P30 is also omitted from the P100. Can you please tell me if Toshiba intend publishes a software update to provide what I want to leave the laptop running in different operating modes depending on how I want to use it for example (downloads, etc).

Also how to adjust the brightness of the screen? It was a feature in the TPS Toshiba Power Saver.

Hello

As far as I know the Toshiba Power saver is installed on many laptops Toshiba, but not on everything!
It seems that the Satellite P100-188 was delivered without the Toshiba power saver.
In this case, Windows power management control power options.
You can define and save also different eating patterns in the Windows power options.

On the sound: it's not easy to tell if it s a normal question.
First of all I recommend to check sound and audio devices and make sure that the volume is set at a higher level.

    First, what type of file do you need?  If you are looking for the lossless quality then I suggest to export a file with Animation codec quicktime or some other lossless codec.  However, these types of files are huge and that they could not read on your desktop.  But if you go just to put this video on the internet, when you're finished with it then I would suggest starting with one of the Youtube or Vimeo H.264 presets and modify it to match your clip.  It is still not as good as the original, but you can't expect miracles when you work in SD and in exporting to H.264 format, which is a codec very first.  If you want to try to export Quicktime or AVI without loss, and then change the settings so that they get something like this:

  • Satellite Pro P100-188: screen keeps blinking on and off at random intervals tension

    If anyone can help me with my computer so please PLEASE publish it because I have no idea of what is happening to her.

    I just bought a new laptop, a Toshiba Satellite Pro P100 - 188 Dual Core and I'm having a problem with it. Sometimes (not all the time) if the computer is plugged in or not, the screen flashes and repeatedly and then will slow down and its suspicious home.

    I have no idea what's wrong with it, I sent it to the store where I bought to be fixed and they just he sent to me, but the problem persisted. They say they have done tests on the machine and can't find anything wrong with it, but if that were the case, then it only would not have messed up again.

    What is just a software problem? The screen seems to flicker on and off at intervals irregular or not I'm in the middle of using it or not. All the drivers are the latest drivers and I admit now that I'm at my wits end.
    Any thoughts, anyone?

    Hello

    This seems very odd. However, you posted that this problem happens sometimes and not all the time.
    In my opinion I n t think that the software could be responsible for this issue.
    Perhaps one loses the connection cable? But believe me; It's not easy to say what's wrong without diagnostic tests.
    You have suggested that you have sent the unit to the store.

    I recommend you contact Toshiba service partner in your country. Technicians must check the laptop.

  • Spectrum x 360: screen goes black randomly when on battery and some energy-saving options enabled

    Hello everyone,

    I bought this fantastic machine called spectrum x 360 and I love it.

    Unfortunately since the early days I'm facing what I think it's a problem of driver/software (not the related material).

    This problem only occurs when I'm on Windows, not in the bios or at the startup. JUST IN Windows envinroment, especially after the login, and when the computer was turned off. Sometimes when I use it after a while, randomly.
    This occurs only when the spectrum is on battery. The problem does not appear on AC adapter.

    Problem: the screen goes black randomly for a few seconds and then reappear, sometimes the entire image on the right slide and there is a part that looks like yellow and corrupt, then goes black and reappears.

    Windows Version: I'm on Windows Home 64 bit, build 14393.321 10 (update of the anniversary).

    The entire screen works fine for normal operations, no artifacts.

    Replication of the problem
    Initially, I was able to reproduce the problem with the driver build 4360 (which is the version of the driver from the HP site). Whenever I loaded the home page of youtube and the banner has started playing on the screen went black sistematicly.
    Then I updated the GPU driver through the Device Manager, which has improved my GPU driver to 21.20.16.4494, as of July 25, 2016 and the problem happens much more rarely.
    Now I am facing this problem again but Edge works correctly and is not the cause of the problem, it can appear even when I don't do anything with the PC.

    I noticed this problem appears when saving options are enabled for the Intel GPU (I'm trying to translate this to English because the GPU driver Panel is in Italian):

    -update panel houses;
    -advanced mode; energy saving

    If I disable these options, the problem does not appear or, better, for I've tested so far, he could not displayed when options are not in market, but I have not tested this very long to be sure.

    In my opinion, there is a bug in the display driver, or some customizations made by HP causes problems with the driver.
    The rest of the computer works correctly.
    Any idea to solve this problem? Or should I keep these options turned off power saving?

    Hi, thanks for your help.

    I have a passion for COMPUTING and ex-computer SCIENTIST, I am familiar in surveys on hardware/software questions and hope that this post will help some users get rid of this problem.
    Black screens and screen corruption has been issued by the option called "auto refresh Panel" energy saving.
    I did a lot of hours on battery (condition where this pop ups problem) in these days and the problem didn't show when it was turned off.
    To verify that I tried to activate "Panel options self-identity" in certain occasions and, at random, on the first boot of the machine (after being turned off) the problem arises again.
    It certainly is a problem with this energy-saving option.
    Now everything works fine.
    If the problem appears again, I will post more information.
    Thank you for your support.

    I think it would be useful to stick this post on top in this section of the forum, to be useful to other users and being more visible.

  • Satellite P100-188 starts after the upgrade of the wireless network card

    I recenty installed a new Intel 5100 Series 512AN_MWW Mini PCI NIC in my Satellite P100 - 188 PSPA3E database.
    However, when it is installed, he refused to view and start.

    I'm sure (read the technical info) that these cards use the same interface.
    So why it won't work?
    Is an update of the BIOS to enable a feature. If so, could someone kludge one together please?

    I have the latest version of the BIOS installed 4.70 and am running Windows Vista.
    I am desperate for this that I already have a project N AP 2.0 and want to use it to its full capabilities.

    Cheers, Rob

    Hello

    If I understand your message you have improved the Interior card WLan Intel (Golan) Intel 3945ABG 802. 11a / g to Intel 5100 with project support.

    Boyfriend although it seems that you can't use the WLan draft N card in this laptop model.
    Seems such card is not compatible and cause interference.

    As I know the Draft N need of 3-wire antenna the antenna Satellite P100-188 supports 2 wires only and can be used with the 802.11 A, B or G standard.

  • Sound Volume settings do not go below 20% or greater than 70% HELP!

    After restoring my computer using Norton Ghost because of this problem, it happened again after several days and I have no idea why, or how to solve this problem.

    The green light on volume will be not less than 20% and not more than 70% using different volume controls.  This is verified by going to the control panel and looking at the settings of the sound card and all mixer controls accessed through entertainment console commands.

    All of them, no matter how I try to adjust my volume, can't go to zero, full 100%.

    I'm pretty sure that I did not visit all websites would have done anything to my system, although it is not always guaranteed.  I also run Avast Antivirus and Malwarebyte Anti-malware constantly.

    This issue first appeared a few weeks ago, during which, after struggling to set things straight I restored my system and yet tonight no reason apparent.

    When I try to move the cursor under a minimum of 20% is refuse and bounces.  And even more than high 70%.  It's as if some type of compression thing happening automatically as I do not turn.  Not that I know of.

    Everyone heard about this problem before?  How to fix?

    I thought I had discovered a solution.  Don't know how or why it worked, or what has caused this setting initially, but here's what I discovered:

    I went to Windows Media Player after having reviewed the Options tool, judged on the tab DEVICES, speakers highlighted and clicked on PROPERTIES, as the device to use default Directsound device.  I changed it to the map of his Creative Audigy, I have in my office and that seemed to do the trick.

    Yet once, don't know how this has changed or if it has never changed a bad choice, but by changing it ((retour) return) for my Creative Labs Audigy card, fixed levels of sound volume to 0 and 100%.

    = = = = = = = = =

    This post is almost a month after the one above.  This solution (changing the speaker inside Windows Media Player properties) does not work for me.  The problem I wrote originally, returned again tonight, and the difficulty that I thought I had discovered does NOT work.

    Everyone, if you know why the Green level bar can get stuck at 20% to 70% please advise!

    I don't know how to solve this problem.

  • Satellite P100-188: low resolution fonts and menus, game

    Hello

    I have a P100-188 and fonts on the office and Internet icons display very well, however the fonts displayed in message boxes look terrible, looks like they are displayed in low resolution, you can see practically every pixel that make up the letters.

    This is really visible with some games I've played, as UFO: Afterlight and supreme commander. The games look good, but the menus for the said games are terrible.

    Nobody else this remark on their machines and is it current with windows and LCD screens?
    This is my first laptop and my desktop computer is old and it uses a CRT monitor that do not show the same symptoms.

    Hello

    Have you changed your display resolution or even use native resolution 1440 x 900?

    AFAIK P100 has excellent 17.0 "TruBrite discovers Wide 16:10 color TFT display and the illustration is really fantastic. Because of that, I'm a little confused about your ad. To make it better to try to change the font size and enlarge the fonts.

  • Comment for Satellite P100-188 owners looking to buy Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card

    I just bought a Creative Audigy 2 ZS sound card, which is excellent, much better than the piece of bad quality (in my opinion) of material that accompanies it. But I thought I'd find out other buyers from the perspective of this card that it heats up a fair bit. The problem is that the only warm place on the P100-188 (for me) was under the left Palm (maybe the graphics card is placed here) everywhere else was fine, the problem is that the PCMCIA socket is also in the same area, so when the sound card is used for heat in this area is considerably increased makes it uncomfortable typing for a while. I'm not too concerned, as I bought it mainly for games, and (for once) being left handed means that according to the means of the mouse will not rest my hand on the hot zone, but a right handed the person using the keys WASDX or similar for steering in FPS games the accumulation of heat in this area could be a problem.

    I just thought I'd let people know this potential on the side for another great product.

    Hello

    Thanks for your review. It s great know the advances and the disadvantages on each laptop.
    One of my notebooks is a Satellite A50 laptop and it also has a cooling fans that on the left side. For me its doesn't matter because I have a Mr. right-handed: D
    However, my other laptop support the fan on the right side and it's a little awkward for me but is no reason for me to not use this laptop.

  • Satellite P100-188: where to find the Power Saver & Virtual Surround Sound

    Hello

    We know when or if Toshiba will allow us to download these utilities compatible with cell phones series P100-188? I've very disappointed with the sound quality compared to my satellite M45 I replaced this P100-188 (PSP3AE).

    I still don't see these utilities on the list tailored to this particular type of laptops. Can someone help me please?
    Thank you and Merry Christmas John

    Well, as far as I know some units of the P series are delivered without the energy saving and the virtual sound.
    I don t know why, but I guess that it s a kind of policy
    However, I don t think that Toshiba will design and develop the tools if the laptop has been delivered without these features.

    I remember from one of my friends bought a unit in a series of P a long time ago and this laptop has not also been bundled with Toshiba power saver.
    He had to use Windows power options instead of the energy saver.

  • Tips on sound crackling on the P100-188

    Hello

    If you have a P100-188 and meet crackles with the sounds of alert windows (you can check this by opening the sound volume on the taskbar and adjustment button continuously clicking on the volume), and to a lesser extent with music and other applications, it can be interesting to contact Toshiba. I sent an email to the technical service of Toshiba to [email protected] explaining the problem that I had and wonder they were aware of it, as one or two other people have experienced the same symptoms. They sent an email back asking me to contact the Toshiba global support on 0870 066 0191 Center to get more help and technical advice. On this operation a support assistant asked me to reinstall the audio drivers, I did without success, the crackling sound was always apparent, so I am now waiting for the mail to contact me to send my laptop in for repair of.

    The noise problem was not bad and I contacted only Toshiba in order to know if they were aware of the problem and working on a solution, thinking it was driver related as it occurred when using the speakers and headphones. Now it seems that it is hardware related and only repaired by heart open syrgery.

    I hope this helps other P100-188 owners with the same problem.

    Hi navnyu,

    (a) what software do you use to record audio? Using Sound Recorder in Windows Vista or any other third-party application?

    (b) what device you use to record audio? Micro analog video camera, CD player and DVD player

    You can check the volume settings on the device itself for the volume levels.

    Also check the settings of volume (if available) in the recording software

    Run the FIXIT available in the link below and check if that helps

  • My sound is low and I can't change it

    My volume suddenly reduced a lot. I can barely hear anything, and the voice is strange (e.g. when I play a song that I can barely hear the voice while instrumental music is much stronger). I tried to change the levels / improvements and installed the latest drivers manually. Also sought after if something is wrong with the audio drivers. Nothing helped me to restart the computer 3 times. It happened all of a sudden after I have tabbed out of the game to play a song, and then I realized the volume is much lower. I tried to turn the communication reduce the volume to 0% and that did not help either. I looked for solutions on the internet, but nothing helped. Please help me.
