Satellite A300 - no sound, the "speaker" with a red icon

Hey there!

So, I got this Toshiba sat idle until I decided to restore it to factory settings and start using it again. I remember exactly if I didn't sound the last time I started before restoring it, but now, after three reinstalls I've still no sound, all I have is the speaker with a red x icon.

This laptop is using Windows Vista 32 bit, I had no problem during the restore, everything has been properly installed except audio drivers. I'm sure I should have something in the sense of "Realtek High Definition Audio Driver" or something on the Manager devices, but all I have is "ATI HDMI Audio" and three devices not recognized and the only thing that appear on the output devices is "Realtek HDMI Output/ATI HDMI Audio" and say that it is not. Already tried to reinstall the Toshiba drivers, Realtek, even went as far as to try to force Windows to install the correct driver, but it ended in a BSOD.

Then... I'm really at a loss. I really want to restore the sound, and I refuse to believe that there is no solution. The device is detected every time even though she has not recognized... Then... Am I missing something?

Help, please. =(

>... until I decided to restore it to factory settings
Original recovery image contains all the necessary drivers for all hardware components, so its driver must be installed correctly.
Can you please open the Device Manager and check the status of the sound card it.
Please post comments.

  • Satellite A300 - built into the camera hangs

    Salvation;

    I have a problem on my laptop, built-in camera. After opening, using Yahoo messenger (webcam) or by Assistant camera camera software, in a few seconds, it crashes.
    I tried to check if the pilot does not work, he said that there was last updated. I also try to uninstall and re - install, same problem
    Which is wrong with this device? I just bought this laptop last month and gives me a problem. Can someone help me out here?

    Model: Satellite A300
    Part number: PSAG8E-05J00TEN
    Serial No.: 29452151Q

    Thank you!

    Hello

    I have Satellite A300 too and use cam with Skype. It works perfectly. I tested it with ICQ
    Have you tested the feature cam with another application?

    Also try disabling software pre-installed to Webcam Assistant (usually started automatically with Vista) and check the functionality with Yahoo.

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - after the installation of Kaspersky, the camera does not work

    Since the installation of Kaspersky internet security, my webcam does not work, message appears at windows startup, saying: he needs to be reinstalled. How can I do this?

    Also any idea if the sims 3 is likely to work well on this laptop?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello!

    Reinstall the webcam driver should be easy enough. You only have to download the driver for the webcam on Toshiba driver download page:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com-online decision-making supported Downloads & => Download drivers

    If you have downloaded the new version, you can delete the old version in Add/Remove Programs, restart the computer, and then install the new version.

    Regarding the SIMS3, you should check the system requirements for the game first. This is a fairly new game, and the Satellite A300 is not the best gaming laptop so I think that the laptop is not fast enough for this game.

    Good bye

  • Volume options and the speaker in Windows XP icons are not active

    The speaker in my taskbar icon disappeared and the solutions in contlol ane panel volume't available.
    original title: Volume

    No, not the thing to do.

    It is for the audio drivers missing or corrupt, not the mixing table, which in this case is probably corrupted (sndvol32.exe), it is a MS file!

    Follow these steps:

    Right click on my computer on your desktop > second option down - explore > in the menu bar, click Tools > Options > display > scroll down and check "Show hidden files etc" > Apply > OK > then, in the left pane, navigate to c:\windows\system32\dllcache > find and copy the sndvol32.exe file > paste said file in c:\windows\system32 > crush if requested.

    Re-boot

    You should now have your rear speaker icon.

    BTW, if you do not find the dllcache folder, then there is another more technical way to recharge the mixing table, so re-post and have your XP CD handy.

    See you soon,.

    Jerry

    Another BTW: If you really want to re - install the audio drivers and your PC/laptop is a 'make' (HP, gateway, etc.) then go to their Web site and get the drivers correspondents there. Install the drivers from the MB manufacturer only if you have built your PC yourself.

  • How can I disable the "hand-with-a-pen-icon" in the seizure, drop-down menus and check boxes boxes in IE 10?

    How can I turn off the hand-with-a-pen-icon that appear in the entries of the form (for example, text boxes, drop-down menus and check boxes) in IE 10? I'm running updated Windows 7, 64-bit desktop with without a touchscreen. I have the Wacom tablet with a pen, but I disabled the handwriting feature in Windows.

    And also how to disable query points that appear in the scroll bars in the browser? Sometimes the mark points will blink, then this hand-with-a-pen-icon appears between. It does not appear in other browsers or programs and its was not in IE 9.

    -It is very annoying, especially when dealing with checkboxes and drop-down menus, I know never it is checked or not. --

    I have not found all the settings for this in IE 10 settings or control panel.

    Same problem here.
    I have w7 x 64 office services and tablet and writing are disabled.
    However, I see the shit 'hand with a pencil icon' in all the check boxes and drop down menus.
    It is not even recognizable on small boxes and is a total bore.
    I run my desktop PC with w7 x 64 for over a year and the symbol appeared after I've upgraded to IE10.
    I couldn't find an appropriate solution in the links provided in this thread, and I hope that it will be a good solution soon.
    To give an idea, I downloaded 2 screenshots on my skydrive
    https://SkyDrive.live.com/?CID=1C240C8A7B1412A2&ID=1C240C8A7B1412A2! 110 #cid = 1C240C8A7B1412A2 & id = 1C240C8A7B1412A2. 110

    Meanwhile, I think that I found the real cause.
    I had turned off the segue UI fonts during the day even when I updated to IE10.
    Strange as appears only in IE10 I assumed it it was due to the update.
    As explained in this thread that it is obviously a police problem well.
    http://answers.Microsoft.com/en-us/IE/Forum/IE10-Windows_7/IE10-shows-square-blocks-on-every-dropdown-menu/068079a1-47AB-496a-8358-4391b564aaee
    I still have not solved not satisfactory, but at least I now know the cause.

    IT FIXED:
    to do my reading sharper, I had turned off cleartype according to http://www.davidjnice.com/articles/windows7_fonts.html
    I'm now setting replace to

    "Segoe UI Symbol (TrueType)"="seguisym.ttf" and voila, the handwriting symbol in IE10 is gone again.

  • Satellite A300 - series stereo Mix unavailable with the Conexant audio driver

    Hello...

    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAJ0E...
    I was using Windows XP Professional...

    But I'm not able to use Stereo Mix so special...
    I installed the Driver Conexant HD SmartAudio 221...

    What can I do in this topic...

    I thank right now...

    Best regards...

    Unfortunately, but you can not do much
    The point is that it is a Conexant audio driver problem. This option or parameter is simply not available in the Conexant audio driver and as a result the port of stereo mix is not available and cannot be used.

    I don't think a driver update audio can help so expect an update.

    Cheers mate

  • Satellite A300-129 - Sound is mute and icon does not

    Hi all

    I am trying to turn on the sound of my Satellite A300-129 after I cut it a couple of days, but the icon does not respond.
    When I click on the right button of the mouse, I can go to sounds etc, but "open volume Mixer" is not responding or the other. I also tried to restart the laptop a couple of times, but that did not help.
    What can I do? Your help will be very appreciated.

    Heleen

    > How do I do that safely without the risk of losing her forever?

    LOL you don't lose anything forever. : D in the worst case you have to reinstall the OS using the Toshiba recovery disc.

    Access to Device Manager-> mark the sound card-> with the delete key-> restart the laptop

    After restarting again the audio driver needs to be reinstalled again and should detect the sound card.

  • Satellite A300 - "password" on the splash screen

    Hello, I have a problem with my Satellite A300-14 PSAJ0E-00W00PSK.

    * Screen with input "Enter password" appears every time when I turn it on can guess when I put wrong password 3 times, my laptop turns off. I had installed windows 7 with ubuntu for 2 years with no problems, but I can't boot any operating system present (even when I boot with the CD/DVD inserted with windows/ubuntu).

    * When can I get correct password? Or there is another solution to this problem? *

    Thank you for all the advice!

    I assume that your laptop is locked with BIOS password.
    BIOS password can be set only but I put t understand your situation.
    You have blocked your notebook with BIOS password or someone did it without your knowledge.
    Do you have an explanation for this situation.

    In any case, if the BIOS password is not known to you, you must contact the nearest service Toshiba and ask for help. They can remove for you.

  • Can I send by Satellite A300-y00 for the recovery procedure

    I had the problem in my Satellite A300-y00, which are viruses, trojan or more than threats.
    I would like to ask if it is possible to refer to Toshiba to reformat with a new new?
    I mean will they install the same software with everything as a new included in order to remove all the threats.

    It will cost more?

    Hello

    As I m not wrong not the A300 was equipped with HARD drive recovery option.
    This means that you can grab the laptop and set it to factory settings very easy and without use of the Recovery DVD!

    Then turn on the laptop, press the F8 key and choose the option called fix my computer.
    Then, a new screen should appear and you need to choose the last option called Toshiba Recovery or something like that.
    Then follow the instructions on the screen.

    The whole HARD drive must be formatted and new operating system with all the drivers must be installed

    I can play some games like hitman silent of assasin on fullscreen and with graphics.

    But the problem is that a game could not open correctly IE after you open the game, he becomes 16-bit or not graphicsless. I tried these games = need for speed - pursuit and need for speed - undercover, the same problem occurs. I tried in windows XP and Vista.

    We all know Roadrash. I played this game in computer III pentium no value correctly... but I can not play in my laptop...

    Please help me to recover from this problem with the graphics.

    Hello!

    Check the system requirements for the game. Satellite A300 is not a high-end gaming laptop and maybe some new games couldn't work on this laptop.

  • Satellite A300 - question about the MIDI connection

    Can someone help me?
