Satellite A30-921 PSA33E - no sound and the missing "speaker" icon

Some time ago, I lost the sound and also the missing "speaker" icon.
But the sounds in the control panel and all its grayed out. Restarted the system and everything has been restored.

Once again lost both and rebooted but is more than this noise of restoration. Icon was back at the helm of the tasks, but when you click on it, all greyed out.

Uninstalled the audio driver and used the disk utility to try to restore the sound, but does not work: visited the download from Toshiba site and I tried the Realtek driver, no luck. Checked with my Bios Update and I have the latest version.

What is going on???

If anyone can help...

Congratulations to all.

Hello

I think that you must first remove the old sound driver.
Check if there is an entry in Control Panel-> Add & Remove programs.

In addition, you should go to the Device Manager and should remove the sound card in the list of devices.
Just mark the sound card and remove it.
Reboot the laptop.

After that restart of the operating system (Win XP) should start looking for a new device and should ask the audio driver.
This is the time to point the driver package, and files that you downloaded from the Toshiba European page.

Check to see if that would help!

  • Satellite A30 921: XP does not detect the Firewire IEEE 1394 port

    I have a satellite A30 921.
    There I link port aswell. My problem is that im trying to connect my camcorder dv via I LINK and this is the first time since I bought this laptop. But XP won't dectecting it.

    Can someone help me on this problem?

    Hmm, it seems that the satellite A30 921 supports really 4pol IEEE1334 Firewire/iLink interface. Therefore, it should be possible to connect your external camcorder without big problems.

    May I ask if you are using Win XP with SP2 preinstalled?
    You should do it.

    AFAIK the SP2 contains a bug which has affected the firewire port.
    But it has been resolved with the additional patch. Check this box:

    + * Performance of 1394 devices may decrease after you install Windows XP Service Pack 2 * +.
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/885222

    I also recommend to check the firewire port in Device Manager.
    It would be desirable to remove it from the list of Device Manager, then restart the laptop for reinstalling the port once more.

  • Satellite A30-151 PSA33E - cannot install the chipset driver

    Hello

    I have Toshiba Satellite A30-151 PSA33E-72KX3-EN.
    I recently Reinstalled Windows XP.

    The chipset driver that I downloaded from the web site, does not work.
    file: http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/csutil-20080320162841.zip

    The message is: Intel... requires a platform chipset soustenans running on a supported operating system.

    What should do?

    Hello

    The message appears because;
    (1) the chipset driver is not compatible with the chipset
    (2) or the chipset driver is not compatible with the operating system

    It seems that this point 1) is correct.
    As much as I know Satellite A30-151 PSA33E-72KX3-EN supports the ATI graphics chip. Right?
    My knowledge this old model of laptop Satellite A30 escaped with graphics chip ATI or Intel graphics chip.
    Maybe the chipset driver is only compatible with laptops with an Intel GPU.

    However, you can install a diagnostic tool for material like Everest Home Edition.
    This will show you the chipset of s for laptop and you can download the Intel chipset driver from the Intel page.

    PS: Make sure that Win XP is up to date!

  • No sound on Satellite A30 921

    Hi M8

    I have PC Toshiba laptop Satellite A30 921.
    I just installed Windows XP Professional and all microsoft updates.
    I downloaded the latest Sound driver and update the bios of Toshiba Web site for this laptop.

    I updated the bios and installed its Audio driver for "Realtek AC97". I'm speaker icon on my taskbar.

    But for some reason, I don't get sound from the speaker or headphones, when I start up windows or CD of music game or file.

    I check the volume and the installation program. I lost completely.

    Please could you help me solve this problem.

    Much thanks

    I have to ask you something.
    Have you got the sound before you reinstall the operating system?

    What about the State of the sound card in Device Manager? Are there any yellow exclamation marks?

    You say you checked the volume and the installation program. Did you also check the volume control on the side of the laptop?

  • Satellite A30 921 stops after 10 minutes

    I am the owner of a Satellite A30 921, but it stops after 10 minutes.
    I tried to change the settings for toshiba power management, but they will not work any ideas?

    The laptop turns off automatically without display of error messages?
    This can be caused by an overheating problem!

    How old is your laptop and you clean the cooling fans in the past?
    If this isn't the case, I recommend you this doing.

    To clean the fans, you can use the jet of compressed air that can be bought in most computer stores.
    The problem is that dust and debris inside of the laptop prevents cooling modules works properly, and so the temperature increases to a higher level. This leads to the farm automatically from the bottom.

    In my opinion, fans of cleaning might help with this problem.

  • Need Driver USB for Satellite A30 921

    Need Driver USB for Satellite A30 921.
    I can't find.

    Please help me

    To be honest I really don't understand why you need the USB drivers?  :|

    Is it all the USB drivers are one included in the OS. It s no matter what operating system you have. Win XP or Vista.
    Operating systems use the own Microsoft USB drivers and installation of the USB driver is unnecessary. By the way; There is no 3rd party USB drivers ;)

    So now, it would be useful to know what operating system you have installed.
    If you are using XP then you should install SP2 and should update the operating system to the State.

    Furthermore, you shouldn't t forget to install the utility of chipsets Intel (pilot).
    You can find these drivers on the European driver Toshiba-> Sat A30 page area download.

    Hope that this information could help you get the USB port works again

  • Satellite A30 921: is it possible to upgrade graphics card?

    Is it possible to update my graphics card? I have a Satellite A30 921 that comes with the Mobile Radeon 9000 card.
    I was wondering if it is possible to update my graphics card

    Hi Daniel,.

    The graphics card in your A30 is actually a built-in chip in the motherboard unlike a desktop PC where it is a separate card. This makes it rather difficult/impossible replacement without replacing the motherboard together.

    Kind regards

  • No sound from the right speaker / can not configure the speakers

    Hi all

    I have a new computer Sony laptop and just tried plugging in my speakers 2.1 computer inside.  Sound only comes out of the left satellite and a subwoofer.  When I try to set them up in the sound control panel, the installation of the single speaker on the speaker Assistant is stereo and only the first test tone (left) plays from the satellite on the left, then silence (no dial tone test on the right).

    Everything works fine on the built-in Laptop speakers, but they are for computer speakers, so I wish I could use my old speakers when I'm at my desk.

    Sony Vaio and Windows Update Update did not recommend all new drivers for the audio controller.  I downloaded and installed the latest driver on the site from Realtek but that didn't work at all so I rolled it back to the version provided with the system.

    Work fine with my laptop speakers older and my cell phone, so the fault is not with the right satellite is.

    Thank you
