Satellite A300-1GL - internal MIC is always on

I have a Satellite A300-1GL and the internal MIC is always on, power through the speakers if they are too strong.

I've tried right-clicking on the speaker beside the clock icon, selecting "recording devices" and turn the microphone off. My phone tells me that the microphone is disabled. But it's not.

Guidance gratefully received.

Hey,.

Hmm strange s this microphone is always on that even if you have disabled sound devices

In your case I try to update the driver for the webcam because the microphone is a part of it and to update the audio driver as well. You can download these updates from the driver here:

By the way: what OS are you using?

    Hello

    What? Cooling modules run, even in this case, the cell phone is off?
    Press the power button for at least 4 seconds, then the laptop must be turned off.
    Disconnect the power adapter and remove the battery
    Wait about an hour and reconnect the battery and AC adapter
    Then switch on the device after a certain time of use of turning the unit off and check if the cooling modules would stop too

  • Satellite A300-247 - always off model Logo

    Hello

    have a problem I bought the computer, Toshiba Satellite A300-247.

    The Satellite logo was always in Ohcshio fire off or how it would always be a crush

    Hello!

    To be honest I n don't know what you mean exactly. Do you mean the logo of the lighting of the keyboard?

    As far as I know the ignition of the laptop (multimedia keys, etc.) controls the added value the package so I think that you should reinstall this tool. You can find it on the Toshiba site:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    Before installing the latest version, you must remove the older version first, and then restart the laptop. Now, you can install the new VAP.

    Furthermore, have you installed Windows updates? I had a problem with illumination after that I installed updates to Windows.

    Good bye

  • Is there an internal Bluetooth module for Satellite A300?

    I bought a laptop toshiba Satellite A300, it does not contain a bluetooth module.
    There are several types of modules bluetooth USB, but I don't think they are as practical as the interns.

    If Toshiba does not include internal bluetooth module for Toshiba Satellite A300?

    I know that for the Satellite * Pro * A300, which has the same shape, but is a business model, it is bluetooth module when you buy. Their modules should be compatible with my laptop. But how can I get a?

    : D Akuma asked the model number! Then maybe you should post it instead of the xxx-xxxx ;)

    Generally, it should be possible to upgrade the laptop with internal BT module but as told by Akuma, the laptop must contain the BT antenna in fog you can find it under the keyboard (Brown wire).

    But note; These updates can be done only by the technician of the ASP, because if you remove any parts for your laptop, would cancel you the warranty.

  • Satellite A200 - internal mic has background noises

    Hello

    Description: Internal microphone with full boost, and volume has background noise. By reducing its levels, it has insufficient gain to drive Skype etc, so the only viable solution is to use front mic. Have you tried several MICS known for work on the other PC.
    Logbook - sometimes when its clogged, the front mic back, is the only micro displayed, but his level is very low with settings on full boost, and volume, is hardly audible; It is not set to mute. Sometimes the settings panel shows two microphones with works front and internal as well as external. EG remove the front plate near mic and it responds.

    I am a hardware engineer and it does not appear to be linked to the defective mic connector on the front. Both the A200 is relatively new. Also, I've seen similar to this Google search topics, but no one had their similar fault solved.
    His may be a hardware problem, but given the bizarre behavior of two microphones working with trendy front in and sometimes not, it tends to suggest a driver problem. But I installed the latest driver, I could find: driver Realtek SA200-SM200-RealtekHD-6.0.1.5406-Vis64-Vis32.exe

    I do not ask questions, because it's my job to solve PC problems, but this one has really left me speechless.
    Kind regards
    Alistair.

    Hello

    Which is really strange and I can only say that my girlfriend has a Satellite A200 too but she doesn't have any problems with the internal mic. She uses the microphone for MSN and Skype, for example, but without any problems.

    In any case, have you tried with the factory settings? I mean the Windows Vista preinstalled with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba. Normally with these settings, all should properly.
    Additionally, make sure that you have installed the latest BIOS for your laptop.

  • Satellite L555 - 10 M - internal MIC does not work?

    Satellite L555 - 10 M

    Hello

    It seems that the internal MIC (beside the web camera) does not work, because I can not save anything.
    I tried the windows audiorecorder application, Skype application, and one any of them can record my voice.

    The external microphone works fine, so I think the software using windows setup and the definition realtek HD audiomanager are OK.

    How can I check if it is really a hardware problem?

    Coul you please help me?
    Thank you!

    > I tried the windows audiorecorder application, Skype application, and one any of them can record my voice.

    Have you tested the internal mic in relation to the installed webcam software?
    Means do because the internal microphone belongs to the internal webcam.
    In addition, you should check the settings in the control panel-> sound-> recording tab
    The internal microphone should be selected as the default device.
    If the internal MIC is not listed it right click and check the options: Show hidden and disabled devices.

  • Satellite C650D - internal mic not working not

    Hello forum

    When I tried to cut the internal mic, I accidently deleted the pickup and its driver completely a few days from now.
    and after you have reinstalled the driver, I can't have the microphone to capture sound.

    I do not know if the internal MIC is visible in the tab "recording devices", what I see is "Conexant SmartAudio HD CX20671".

    Could be internal, might as well be the external microphone that I use sometimes.

    Help me please.

    Hi mate

    You can try reinstalling the Conexant audio driver again. Usually this should detect all devices audio and microphone, even if it was previously disabled.
    The driver can be found on the European driver Toshiba page.

    Another tip:
    You should check the audio settings in Control Panel-> Sound-> recording tab

    Here, you should see two entries: internal and external microphone mix that should not be permit/detected if the external microphone is not connected.
    The internal mic must be defined as a default!

  • External microphone not detected and faulty internal mic on Satellite Pro U400

    I have had several headphones with microphone and taken headphones 3.5 and the laptop just will not detect them. I tried to disable the internal sound system, or just the MIC internal, but not luck.

    The internal MIC is a (stronger if the external microphone is plugged) whirring background noise which means I can't use it for work.

    Any help is appreciated!

    Which is really strange.
    Are you using the original recovery image Toshiba and Toshiba driver sound?

    U400 is older model laptop and I would like to know since when you have this problem.
    I can't imagine that you got from day1.

  • Re: Satellite A300-1LT built in mic won't work

    There is a problem with the microphone.
    It does not even if everything seems fine.

    I have the drivers updated, I put it in the Panel as default, is said here is work, when I plug another microphone (external), we're working, but this one isn't.
    It is not cut, I checked everything I could think of.
    Also read a lot of forums but no solution.

    Does anyone know how to fix this?

    I tried to make it work with Skype, msn messenger, windows sound recored and software assistant camera but no luck.

    Hello

    The internal mic belongs to the internal webcam.
    Have you checked the settings in the webcam software?

    In the webcam-> Audio tab settings, you will see a bar of audio volume.
    This must be set to max!

  • H - 550 d-13 satellite - internal MIC is not installed

    Hello-support team,

    I just got this laptop and all (Win7 home 64 bit) has been installed correctly, I would say. But I can't seem to get the active internal mic. I looked online for a solution and reinstalled the latest sounddrivers (ATI and conexant). There is still no sign of the internal microphone. In the specifications (1 × 1.3 Mpix WebCam + mic int.) he is listed with the built-in webcam, so I reinstalled the drivers too. Unsuccessfully :(

    Is there some kind of fix for this issue? Thanks in advance...

    BTW. I shows "offline and disabled" devices ;)

    > But I can't seem to get the active internal mic.
    Can you please explain how do you do this? I mean what application are you using?

    You're right about the microphone and web camera. Internal microphone is there, but I put t understand how you want to use. With Skype maybe?

    Hello

    Have you installed the right graphics card driver?
    The Sat A300-1GN belongs to the PSAGCE series.
    I checked the page of the Toshiba driver and there are two pilots;
    I think that you should choose the ATI driver 8.477 display because this driver supports the Mobility Radeon HD 34xx/36xx chips.

    Other base system devices could be Bridge Media slot (for SD cards), touchpad, HDMI Control Manager.

    I didn't find these drivers 64-bit on Toshiba page. Maybe you should choose some drivers for Vista 32 bit

  • Satellite A300 - rotates but does not start

    Hello

    I have a Satellite A300. I had several probems for the boot since 2 months ago: when I want to turn on my laptop, it turns on but the screen keeps black and it does not load the screen "Toshiba Leading Innovation". 'Satellite' (to the left of the mouse) light is on (it would go only about a second then to start and then turn off) and it will turn off.

    I try again for so many times with all the possibilities: without battery, only with the power adapter, two, but it does not start. I don't know what I can do. I always Hibernate my laptop because I'm afraid of can not start it the next day.

    Could you help me? If she cares: I had to buy a new battery (not original from Toshiba) because I had to change the original. No more changes to my laptop.

    Thank you very much and sorry for my English written: S

    Diego

    Hey Buddy,

    > I had to buy a new battery (not original from Toshiba) because I had to change the original. No more changes to my laptop.
    Of course, it s always advisable using Toshiba original spare parts only, but if you notice the same problem with AC adapter only it s not related to the new battery.

    Just to make a better diagnosis: If you have connected an external monitor? The internal display is perhaps the problem and doesn't turn on and it would be useful if you are testing the situation and an external monitor.

    But this noise as a hardware problem serious and in this case, you can wait to contact an authorized service provider. Technicians professional diagnostic tools to make an accurate diagnosis and to Exchange defective equipment parts.

  • Satellite A300 - Microphone does not work do not

    Hello world

    I have problem with microphone as it it does not work. Can you tell me the solution my model number of the laptop is Satellite A300...

    Thank you very much...

    NaveeN

    Hello

    Talk you about internal or external microphone?

    If you come in on the internal mic then it could be interesting how you did test you this?
    As far as I know the internal mic belongs to the internal webcam. Then, start the webcam software and record a small video with sound.
    You can check if the sound wasn't available in this video.

  • Satellite A300 sizzling and crackling of smoke

    Hi guys

    My apologies in advance for my noobishness. I've had a satellite A300 for a few years now. In the last 2 days I heard a cracking sound, almost static - like noise on the side of the A300. Aside, I mean specifically the part which is a kind of metal grid - as you type, the left side, the silver metal Rack that is covered by 'sticks' plastic and conforms / spans the esc, numbers, and tab keys. Sorry for that horrible description!

    Anyway - if I heard this noise, and today I opened it from its sleep and went on Mozilla and the sizzle is gone a bit messy, and what looked like dust, or at worst, smoke, was issued by the grill. I quickly turned off and shut it down.

    It does not freeze, or now or touch the grid, it was not very hot. He has not extinguished automatically either. I turned back on it and began to Mozilla and iTunes as a test and the grill has started making a loud, grinding and bad-sounding sound of Purring. No show this time, but I turned off.

    It should be noted - my battery was very low during the past 18 months and I need the laptop on the charge to use it. Although he is in charge, the battery was on 27 percent when I turned it off. When using, my cell phone is always on the charge and Hi performance. Any ideas what it is / what I need to do? Thank you!

    Hello

    In my opinion the laptop s internal cooling and grids of modules, including the cooling fans should be cleaned.
    Generally and jet of compressed air should be good enough to get the dirt and debris removed, but I don't very well if this is useful in your case of m.

    I mean your description sounds odd question, and I think that the laptop needs to be cleaned professionally.

    So I recommend you visit some city centre of technicians for laptop or the Toshiba ASP in your country to get this cooling module cleaned in most cases, this procedure is delicate because the laptop must be disassembled so don t recommend this at home because of the risk of damaging the material.
