Satellite A120: Microphone does not work when the power cable is unplugged

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro A120, which has just begun to play up...

I regularly record music of my DJ Mixer in microphone of my laptop entry, recording in Adobe Audition.

Because the power supply makes a buzzing sound, I can't register with the power cable plugged... If I always record with the unplugged power cable, running off battery.

I've never had any problems before, but what has caused the problem, I now, was earlier the battery ran out while recording, put the laptop into hibernation mode.

Since then, I can't register with the power cable disconnected. He recorded only with the cable - which is not a good cause snoring.

It is not a problem with hearing, because in Windows Vista its implemented the problem proved too. As soon as I unplug the power cable, microphone disappears from view.

I used to work in IT support, so I'm not a technophobe - but I can't for the life of me works why it would suddenly start to occur, power is not related to the entrance it is micro... !

One of you lovely people have ideas? I checked power options and the Device Manager to see if theres no hardware issues, but there isn't.

I also reinstalled my sound card drivers.

It's strange. I guess you tried a boot cold fresh. Hibernation can sometimes cause problems with the devices.

Try to update the BIOS.

If all else fails, you may need to reinstall Windows. (Backup your data and run recovery by holding down the button reset during power on)

  • Satellite C55: microphone does not work with the connected headphones

    Hey everybody,

    I have a Toshiba Satellite C55. I've seen other forums posted on this topic, but none of the solutions seem to work for me. I tried to uninstall the drivers and restart the computer, and configure the microphone when the headphones are connected.

    My microphone (installed on the laptop) works completely fine... until I have plug in my headphones. He stops working, but I can still hear the music or friends through my headphones. They have a regular pair of Sony headphones, not headphones, so they do not have a microphone on them or anything. My microphone has never worked with the headphones plugged in, and the computer is only a few months old. I would really appreciate a clear solution, thank you for taking the time to look!

    What Satellite C55 do you have exactly?

    This laptop does support that one socket for headset and microphone, or you have two different plugs: one for mic and one for headphones?

    Usually, you can check the playback (speakers, headphones) devices and recording devices (microphone and external microphone) in the control panel → sound → playback (or recording) tab

    If you need to check if the internal MIC is set as device by default when the headphones are connected.

    In the event that the laptop uses the Realtek audio driver
    Reach
    Control Panel → Manager Realtek HD Audio → select Mic tab → click Device avancΘs
    Then select option button separate all entries in the independent input devices.
    Click OK
    Speakers of tray right click (Volume) then the recorders (confirm the microphone is active) → select microphone → click on set default (default device)
    Then close

  • Microphone does not work when the headset is connected (Windows 7 with Realtek HD Audio).

    I am a user in advance, but this got to be one of the funniest problems ever. First, I had 2 headphones with microphone.

    1. An old helmet specified with microphone
    2. A new headphones A4Tech HS-100 with microphone that I just bought
    Problem:
    • Using the new helmet I bought, when I plug the microphone (pink jack even) it works, but also when I plug in the headphones (same headphone jack), the microphone no longer works (cannot receive all the sounds, even if it is detected clear as already plugged) and only the work of helmet.
    The most funny thing is:
    • The old headset works fine when I plug the microphone (jack Pink) and headphones (headphones) to my ASUS N81V laptop.
    • When I plug the microphone on my laptop and plug the headphones to my iphone, the microphone and the headphones work!
    • To experiment more, my laptop has a HDMI output connected to an external HDMI monitor, when I connect the microphone on my laptop, only it works, but as soon as I connect the headphones to the headphone jack on the external HDMI monitor, the microphone works again!
    Things, I tried and does not work:
    • Maximize the microphone amp
    • Separate entry made in the audio Panel
    • Ensure the microphone is not dumb anywhere
    • Install the latest drivers from the manufacturer and realtek Web sites
    I want to get both my mic and headphones works when plugged the laptop, what exactly is the problem? Any help? Thank you very much.

    I have a similar problem with my netbook a built-in microphone running Windows Starter, that's how mine to get the fix:

    Control Panel - his - recording tab - click on Configure button - set up micro - Configuration of the Microphone Wizard.

    You'll see three choices 1. Headphones Microphone 2. Table microphone 3. Others.

    All what I have to do to fix my netbook is to select the desktop instead of headphones with Microphone Microphone (it has been revived somehow).

  • Satellite P205: Touchpad does not work when the new adapter is connected

    I got a replacement charger for my Satellite P205 but put it has A 4.19 instead of 3. 95 has, they said that it didn't matter, but since I use the charger, I have the following problems:

    -Does not load properly and turns off after an hour.
    -The touchpad has a mind of its own when the charger is connected (windows opens if hovering over button, through the screan jumps when I try to move it, freezes and disappears)
    -Charger Word to say the laptop plugged in but not charging

    What can I do to remedy these problems, the laptop works perfectly when the charger is not plugged in?

    See you soon!

    Hello

    I guess that the touchpad worked correctly in the past with the former sector adapter.
    Is this good?

    Well, it seems that these questions are related to the new power adapter and I would recommend using a 100% compatible adapter.

    Check the AC adapter s old part number and if the issues could be resolved using this adapter.

  • Satellite A30 161 does not work when the battery is installed

    Hello

    I have a problem with my Satellite A30-161. The laptop works perfectly without the battery installed. With the battery installed and the AC adapter plugged the power supply and battery (light orange) are turned on.

    When turn on/off, as soon as WXP loaded the battery light turns off and the laptop turns off. With battery only laptop does not start. There is no dirt on the heat sink and it doesn't seem to be a problem with the connector DC and power lights still on.

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    This behavior is not easy to give an accurate diagnosis, but according to your description, I assume that there is a problem of electronic power supply. Just using special diagnostic tool, it is possible to check if there is a problem serious.

    To be honest, I don't think you can do it alone. The only thing you can try is to test it with new battery. Maybe you should contact the service authorized in your country. talk with them and you will see what they say.

  • My wireless keyboard does not work when the power is on, but connects after reboot. Aspire z3 - 61

    Hi all, I have an Aspire Z3-61 that the keyboard is not connected when turned on. If I restart the computer, it works fine. of course turn on/off and rebooting is not the best way that I would get my keyboard works. It does not have to use the on-screen keyboard, and to start windows. I have to restart it to connect. Thanks in advance for any help.

    An alternative workaround that I used when I had the problem was to disable the Windows quick start.

  • Satellite Pro L20: battery not charge when the power adapter is connected

    Hello

    all advice appreciated.

    I had a Satellite Pro L20 for about 18 months. Recently, battery does not charge when the power adapter is connected. The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile. However the ACPI often said that AC is "offline."

    There are two recent occurrences that coincide with this problem, I try to eliminate:

    1. my friends rat chewed by the feeder for pets! Power is Mobile OK insofar as he fled sector - the rat seems to have simply chewed by the outer cover (I see some threads, but I think that is just a shield, although I'm not an electrician).

    2. I put the laptop in hibernation for the first time. That seemed to mess up the system a bit, which was what initially drew my attention to the problem. This question is a bit complicated because I'm under Linux (Xubuntu).

    I updated the drivers etc from windows when I bought the laptop. Never had any problems until now and have been running linux for centuries. Also, I have mainly the laptop the power supply turned off, but do not remove the battery (is that really a problem these days?)

    I obviously need to replace the adapter, but is - it is likely (and how I can check) that the battery was borked until?

    see you soon
    Chris

    First, please check if the other are lit.
    If the AC led and power led are on the adapter sector is ok and it provides the power to the laptop.

    > The battery light starts yellow (which means more liberated, I think?), then will both green, the machine sat for awhile
    If the battery LED is yellow, this means that the battery is not fully charged and if the Green led changes then recharging is caught and the battery has been recharged.

    So I really don t see any problems with the charge process.

    Maybe the battery is old and so you cannot use it for an extended in such a case only the replacement of the battery could help.

  • On the Satellite P500 microphone does not work well

    I spent $2,000 to buy this Satellite P500 a month ago and soon found that the microphone does not work well. I used the web camera application to record a video to test, the volume level is very low that you barely hear it and it cracks.

    I called the support center, waited for half an hour and finally had someone to talk to me, I followed his instructions adjusted the level of the microphone to 100 and the boost to 0.
    The cracking sound disappeared, but the level of volume is still too low to hear. What can I do?
    Call again and wait half an hour? His Friday 17:00, they will be upset and I'm already mad!

  • Satellite A660 - Webcam does not work when using Skype

    I recently bought a Satellite A660-15J. I am running Windows 7 64 bit.

    I have the latest version of Skype (5.3.0.111).

    The integrated Webcam does not work when you run Skype. If I run the Toshiba Web Camera Application the webcam works fine. However, when I test it in Skype, I get a message saying "cannot start video. Try quitting other programs that use the webcam '.

    However, as far as I can tell there no other programs available. I have tried Skype with the Web Camera Application clised & open. I also confirmed that I do run the latest version of the program.

    One of the main reasons we have this laptop is to use Skype video... Help, please.

    Disable webcam application start-up and exit this application before you start Skype.

    I used Skype many different models of laptops, including friends A660 and it worked correctly.

    When you open Skype video settings is listed as default camera USB webcam?

  • Camileo P30 does not work when the 8 GB SDHC card is inserted

    Hello
    I just got a new camcorder Camileo P30.
    I also bought a card 8 GB class SDHC 6 100 'Lexar Premium' x
    And it does not work with the card inserted.

    Here are the symptoms:
    (1) when the card is not inserted I can do everything OK - take pictures and video, use the menus, it turn on and off.
    (2) when the card is inserted, the following occurs:
    2.1) I can't take pictures or video - it does not meet the pressed buttons.
    2.2) I can't access menus.
    2.3) I can't shut off again.
    2.4) I do not identify the amount of memory is available (shows only 0 recording time remaining).
    (3) I have tried different combinations of:
    3.1) Insert the card so that the camera is turned off.
    3.2) Insert the card so that the camera is turned on
    3.3) Insert the card while the device is switched on and in one of the menus.
    (4) the camera doesn't always work if I take the card again.

    During these expriments (#3), I was sometimes able to get a record time correct left (#2.4), but still #2.1 to 2.3 # were a problem.
    At one point, I was also able to "format" the card and subsequently, he showed a record very long time available (not matching only not to the size of the map) and #2.1 to 2.3 # were still in force (i.e. I couldn't use the camera or turn it off).

    Note to work around the #2.3 I took the battery.

    I was not yet looking for updated firmware, or connect it to the PC.

    Has anyone of you has met with such a problem?
    What did you do to solve it?

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Have you tried another card SDHC?
    I m not very well what is happening here, but I recommend you another card in this camcorder.

  • VerticalAlign VBox does not work when the child has the height in %

    Hello

    I got the code like this:

    <mx:VBox id="vb1" verticalAlign="middle">
    <mx:CheckBox .../>
    <mx:VBox id="vb2" height="50%">
    ...
    </mx:VBox>
    </mx:VBox>
    

    Effect is that verticalAlignment does not work for the 1st VBox (it seems to me that it is set to the default value - 'top'). It works when I remove property "height" of the 2nd VBox (or when I change to "50%" to "50" or any other number).

    Hi Ibarim,

    verticalAlignment won't work for VBox when you have two or more children and who are direct children. When you have only a single direct children of the VBox, then it will work. Normally we use verticalAlignment = "middle" HBox and VBox. As VBox sets out its children vertically this property does not work when you have children over 1.

    You can try this

    width="200" height="50%">
    
    
    
         
    
    
    

    The above two combinations work correctly you only have immediate children... But if you see the bottom of case...

         width="200" height="50%" backgroundColor="yellow" verticalAlign="middle">                                  
    

    Now, in the case above, you can see that VBox vb2 is vertically aligned middle in the vb1 vb2 VBox is the only direct child of VBox vb1. Whereas it is now in the vb2 VBox box and VBox vb3 are not aligned vertically in the VBOx vb2 as because VBox vb2 contains now two children.

    Hope this is clear and make you understand the problem.

    Thank you

    Jean Claude
