Satellite A300: Optical output really works - Digital 5.1 sound

I own the 1lt A300 model.

In the specification, it says there's an optical output (shared with headphone connector). So I was wondering, is it really works?

I have doubts about this, but I can't verify this because I don't have any optical input capable design at present.

The plug is the same size that the headphone plug, so I was wondering is capable of piping 5.1 digital sound?

Thank you...

Hello

I n t have experience with that but maybe that this document can help you to understand how it works:

Good bye

    Hmmmm... really strange. I use Win7 32 bit on my Satellite A300-1LI and it works perfectly.
    Maybe a stupid question now, but have you tried to use the 32 bit version?

  • Satellite A300 - motherboard does not work

    I have a problem with my Toshiba Satellite A300... everything worked well, but there is a day, when I used the laptop it started working and it blocked a few seconds... I tried to turn it on again several times, but it always of the blocks...
    I gave the phone to a technician and he told me that, probably, the motherboard is broken and I have to send my computer in the center of Toshiba to fix...
    Now the problem is... the warranty period, you are finished... and they told me I have to pay for plu 60/hour, so I have to pay for the new motherboard... I worry I have to pay too much to repair the laptop and I don't know if it is better to repair or buy a new...

    What do you think guys? Does anyone know how much may the reparetion cost?
    I really like this computer, that's why I didn't buy a new still...

    Hey Buddy,

    Exact repair costs are the repair center, so I think I contact guys and ask how much it cost + just +. I think Exchange mainboard takes about an hour to have to pay 60 euros/hour + new motherboard.

    If you know the exact repair costs, you can decide which is better, but without knowing that it is difficult to say which path would be one that suits

  • Satellite A300 - screen goes really bright

    After that I connect everything works well on my Satellite A300, but after a minute or so, the screen gets really bright, can someone there help me with this problem? Thank you.
    Games like cod4 work fine without any extra brightness.

    As far as I know Vista there are 7 levels of display brightness. To be honest, I can't imagine that is the lower, for you, too bright, but all we have own opinion on it. Just for example, for my daily work, I use level 6. I don't like the maximum level.

    So there is not much you can do. Power settings choose your preferred plan (I use BALANCED) and set the brightness of the display. This plan will be loaded whenever you start your laptop and you can work on your laptop by using the lowest level of brightness.

    That's all that I can say about it.

    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.

    PS. would it not under warranty

    > I reinstalled the driver and I restored my computer
    This means that you have used the Toshiba Recovery disk?
    Have you created a Toshiba recovery disc at the beginning?

    I think that if you didn't use the recovery disc, then the question refers to the missing part of the driver or software

    But Satellite A300-08WB is not known to me what model number of the laptop is it?

  • Satellite A300 - keyboard does not work after cold start.

    Hi people,

    I inherited an A300 of questions.

    When you turn on the laptop, the keyboard works at the BIOS level, but once it boots into windows keyboard no longer works. I discovered that by pressing the power button (stop) and then turn the laptop back on brings back the keyboard. (It was in vista).

    Since I did a new install of Windows 7 (removal of all partitions on the disk) and the fault remains, I also installed the added value Pack which did not help.

    Firmware was 1.6 - updated to 1.9; fault remains. I restored the factory settings in the BIOS - fault remains level.

    I installed a copy of Fedora 11 (Linux), that works perfectly.

    Any ideas?

    Thanks for the comments.
    To be honest, I use an external mouse only.

  • Satellite A300-201 - does not work so well

    Hallo,

    My new Toshiba A300-201 has a problem. Sometimes it works so well, especially when I listen to music with Windows media player. The symptom is the windows media player does not work ca. 2-3 seconds, and the machine makes a noise loud enough and weird. It is quite often, 15 minutes once.

    Did anyone know about this?

    Thank you!

    Hello!

    You have this problem only with Windows Media Player?
    If so, check if you have the latest version and try another player.

    In addition it is not easy to say what the problem is. You have installed the laptop with the recovery disk?
    Maybe you should check the RAM with Memtest86 and the disk with Drive Fitness Test.

  • Re: Satellite A300-1 does not work with charger

    I need help with my a300-1id .sudenly started disconecting it self.
    I have already tested memory, hard drive and the charger every time that I turn it on with the charger after 5 min, that she falls down. If I only have the batery no problem at all. So I thought its charger and bought new: same problem. I plug it on and after 5 min (usulay like 2 to 3 min) TOP it disconects it self.

    I tried reisntaol and I did (with the full battery only) and has problem with XP, VISTA, or 7.
    But when I'm working in the battery there is no blue no screens no problem AT all so I think not mainbard problem. Right?
    Fortunately we it will be something simple that I am not...

    Help! Please :)

    Hi Sandra_braga,

    I think that you have tested everything you can do, it was a good job but as Akuma wrote, I think that it s time for an authorized service provider. Maybe the DC IN socket is damaged, motherboard or something else, to check it for professional people.

    If you n t know where you can find more recent control the Toshiba site ASP. You can find a list of them online. :)

    To be honest I don t understand you.
    What is an exception code? What did you do with him? Have you noticed this problem in the past?

    Is that the Toshiba PC diagnostic tool is part of the Toshiba value added package and who knows what you have done.
    What you can try is to remove VAP, clean the registry entries for the Diagnostic tool and try to install VAP again in the hope, it will be working again.
