Satellite A100-998: mono/stereo mix not available under Vista

Windows Vista and the Microsoft default value "High definition Audio Device" driver (automatically selected and installed by Setup of Vista), no recording device is listed with the exception of the Microphone, Line In, CD Audio, as in this screenshot of the A100-998 in question:
http://img230.imageshack.us/img230/1981/a100998jp6.PNG

No new Mix or record Waveout options of the device, which means that you can not, for example, doesn't record audio stream on the Internet. I tried the latest drivers from Realtek HD Audio for Vista (30/11/2006 R1.52). No change. Is there a way/driver to enable this as in other Windows Vista machines.

Is also the audio material in the A100-998 "Vista Premium Ready" with the specifications set out in the http://www.optimalsound.net/?

It's the third disappointment. The first two were that he has not delivered with the announced NVIDIA GF7400 (came to the square with 7300) and the second is that the hard drive is 4200 RPM (instead of the advertised 5400).
The third issue is the audio issue detailed above.

Here is a solution I found, but it is not free (costs $US28.20) and requires users to manually switch the "playback devices" each time that they execute it:
http://www.NCH.com.au/SoundTap/index.html
Unlike other programs like Audacity which are based on the Waveout/Mono/Stereo Mix as their sound source (and so do not work in this case), NCH SoundTap installs its own virtual driver and is therefore able to record everything you hear through your speakers in Windows Vista without the need for Waveout/Mono/Stereo Mix. "All the sound elements are"typed"by a pilot virtual directly in the kernel, so the process is perfect digital quality."

However, it would be better that Vista Realtek/Toshiba/Microsoft "High definition Audio Device" driver is updated to include the Waveout/Mono/Stereo Mix (under "recording devices"), so that programs that rely on it are broken. SoundTap can do on Vista means that it is not a hardware limitation.

PS new Vista sound effects as Loudness equalization, Room Correction, Bass Management and Virtual Surround are already supported in the current drivers Vista (the driver from Realtek v1.52 and that by default by Microsoft) in Satellite A100-998.

  • Re: Satellite P100-194 PSP6AE sound does not work under Vista 32 bit

    Hello world

    I got a nice Satellite P100 and configure Vista for a friend. I don't have the CD that came with the computer, so I installed those on the Toshiba site. I found out later that there is a proposed order of installations, and there is no chipset driver for Vista, so I used the XP one.
    As far as I got, everything works fine but the laptop remains silent. There is no sound from the speakers at all. Windows says it all was going well and there is a level moving in the sound mixer, but he remains silent.

    Does anyone have an idea what I could check or change? I would be very happy!

    Thanks in advance,
    Markus

    From my point of view, there is a hardware malfunction.
    Why? Because the sound through headphones. Therefore, it is not a software/driver problem.

    But what you could do is to check the audio playback device by default:
    Go to control panel of-> sound-> the Read tab
    Here the speakers should be peripheral activated and chosen as a default value.

  • Satellite A200-1AX: many applications does not work under Vista

    Greetings,

    I bought A200 1AX a few days ago and I'm not having a good experience with regard to the installation of applications on this Vista box. Even install yahoo messenger did not work and produces the NSIS error. 3D max 9 installation does not work (even though some have managed to operate); Install Adobe CS3 (supposed to be for Vista) did not entirely - the photopshop component have not installed, etc.

    The bottom line, I plan to move to XP OS. Means the required BIOS update I have my Vista recovery CD will NOT work after the switch to XP?

    Thank you for your feedback.

    Best regards, Ashraf.

    Unfortunately I put t know how to help you.
    Usually, if the 3rd party applications are designed and support the Vista while there should be no problem with unique program facilities.

    Check if all software packages are completely cared for and compatible with Vista.

    > The necessary BIOS update means that I have my Vista recovery CD will NOT work after the switch to XP?

    No, after the update the BIOS of XP, you will still be able to use the Vista CD from recovery, but perhaps some functions such as the FN keys will not work.

    I have the Satellite A100-998, and yesterday I find for my driver the new laptop. I download Virtual Sound to my laptop and for vista, and when I try to install the driver that I have error "Toshiba Virtual Sound can't stand your computer." Why

    PS. Sorry for my bad English, but please help me!

    Hello

    I think the problem is that your computer has a sound card, which was designed for XP and not Vista. Thus, you need to download a special driver
    to make the Gizmo work.

    Hello world.

    I just tried to install my digital Canon camera on my Satellite A100 - 998 (PSAA9E), but the drive just won't start. It is not recognizing that the disc is in the drive.

    I tried the drive with a music CD and it works very well and thinking the disc that came with the camera was defective, I tried in my desktop pc, and it installed without a problem.

    Anyone have any ideas why my portable drive is to play music CDs, but not to pick up the cd software...

    Your help would me most appreciated.
    Rgds,

    Do you have any burning application or something that has to do with CD-writing/emulation/etcetc. ?

  • Can not resize the partition on the Satellite A100-998

    Hello
    I am owner of toshiba satellite A100-998 with 200 GB hard drive. By default there is only 1 partition on the HARD drive when I try to resize this partition and create another 8 partition magic shows me error that it cannot write to the boot sector and it fails. I didn't install any software on this computer and it has the latest version of the bios.

    Ranish partition Manager displays the same error.
    I don't know what the problem is because I've done similar operations on multiple computers with all the problems.

    Thanks in advance for any suggestions

    Hello

    I also use the magic of 8 Partitions for creating and management of simple partitions on the HARD disk.
    But I wonder about the size of your HARD drive. As I know the Partitions Magic 8 does not support 200 GB HARD drive. I didn t to test but the partitions on the manufacturing site manual says it does not support.

    However, sometimes, I had similar problems with my 80 GB HARD drive. The simple solution was to defragment single partitions.

    I put t know if it will help you because of you HARD drive size, but you can try it.

  • Satellite A100-998 - support 2 GB RAM modules?

    Hello

    I'm looking to upgrade the memory of my laptop. The vehicle currently have 2x1GB modules in the expansion slots. The manual says it takes PC4200 200 pin memory, but does not specify if it will accept 2 GB sticks as this http://www.ebuyer.com/product/164911. It does not mention of the sticks of 256 MB, 512 MB and 1 GB.

    However, I see no reason why he would not support the higher capacity, if I wanted to move to 4-GB memory total. Can someone confirm that this will work? Thank you!

    Andrew

    Hi André,.

    According to the specs on the page of Toshiba, Satellite A100-998 supports 2-GB memory modules. This means that you can install the 2 GB of memory in each memory slot for a maximum capacity of 4 GB.

    For example, I recommend high-quality Kingston modules. I always buy Kingston modules for upgrade and never had any problems.

    I just upgraded my Satellite A100-998 to Vista. Nothing but problems. I can't play DVDs with Mediaplayer because my "video card does not meet the minimum memory requirement of 64 MB of RAM video.

    Someone had this problem? How did you solve this problem?

    Thank you.

    First of all, I must say that I haven't noticed these issues after the installation of Vista. I installed it on the A100 and everything went correctly

  • Satellite A100-998: Touchpad acts crazy

    Hello

    I am now the proud owner of a Satellite A100-998, with Intel Dual-Core, 2 GB of RAM, pregnant harman/kardon and so on.
    Is a beautiful piece. However, would be much nicer if I had no problem from touchpad:

    Do you want to use the scroll bar on the right, in any application (Word, Excel, Mozilla, no matter), or you want to close the window by clicking the X. But then your system seems to "think" that you are working on the underlying window and it takes your window away and simply shows the underlying window. As if she had the wrong coordinates pointer/Mouse/touchpad! I tried everything with the two parameters dozend touchpad software allows, but does not. No matter what the setting.

    The distributor said that I would ask Toshiba, that he has never heard such odd performances.
    A Toshiba engineer looking in this forum and answer these questions?
    Or does anyone know what to do about it?

    David

    Sorry, but I think I have to disappoint you. To my knowledge there is no Toshiba technicians or engineers. This is a user forum.

    However, I would like to help you, but I've also never heard these dysfunctions of touchpad.
    This problem also happens when you use an external USB mouse?

    I don't know who exactly touchpad software you use, but on my laptop I can configure the easy touchpad properties.
    Please check if you did not select the tap again and hold to drag the option. Maybe it has a bad influence on the device.

    In addition, you can configure different tab area. Each tab on the touchpad can perform different actions. So check it!

    Also check the movement of the pointer and other like edge options request. There must be parameters that cause strange movements

  • Satellite A100-998: speakers make noise when it is on current alternative

    Hello, I have a
    Satellite A100-998
    Part number: PSAA9E-0PP044EN

    My speakers make a horrible noise slope high when the laptop is plugged into AC power, but not on battery power. It happens through my integrated sound card, my soundblaster card external as well as the headphones on both ports, and they have all the latest drivers anyway, so the problem is elsewhere. Noise appears on the windows out vague, i.e. all inhibition does not, nothing 'generates' sound as a program that runs in the background.

    Can anyone help? Here is a link to the noise, I recorded with helmet attached to the microphone port, it's quite quiet, you may increase your speakers to hear it. Link: [http://rapidshare.com/files/114859161/noise.mp3.html]

    I guess it's a kind of interference, but I'm a software guy, I don't know about these sorts of things.

    Thank you
    Andy

    I doubt that the software could cause this kind of thing, looks like it could be a problem of ground or a component of the motherboard.

    I take it to a service center and get them at a glance.

  • Low noise Satellite A100-998

    Hello

    I bought a satellite A100-998 with Harman/Kardon speakers, even if the computer laptop screen at the store had a remarkably high compared to other brands, the machine I bought product a very low sound, although the dial at the front is turned to the maximum & all software orders are set to high? A

    NY suggestions? We advised me to update the audio driver, would this help (but why a laptop bought a few days ago would need to update its drivers?) and I need to update the Bios also, pls help as the low noise is upsetting to me much (not what I expected at all).

    Hello

    I think that the volume on the laptops is a matter of opinion.
    It is really not easy to tell if it s a bad or normal setting.
    Why do you offer that the sound is low? Compare you the sound properties with other laptops?

    Anyway, perhaps you're using really bad setting and only a switching of some controls would increase the sound quality.
    AFAIK the Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager has been installed on this laptop. You should find it in the control panel.

    Here, you can try to change some settings. Wave volume, volume of the CD, everything is possible.
