Satellite A350 - Microphone making strange noise

When talking to people on Skype and MSN people say my mic makes strange noises. They can hear me vaguely on the noise. People say it's a bit like a gurgling noise.

At first I thought that it would be a driver problem so by using Device Manager in windows I have searched online for a update for my Realtek High Definition Audio and he told me that the version is up-to-date.

I went from Vista to Windows 7 about 5-6 months there may be that this is a problem when I reinstalled my drivers? Any advice would be appreciated!

Characteristics of the computer:
-Windows 7 Ultimate SP1
-Intel Core 2 Duo CPU P7450 2.13 GHz
4.00 GB of RAM (2.99 usable)

Thanks in advance

Hello

Driver update might be useful in this case, but the audio driver is not related to the internal mic. The internal MIC is part of the webcam then in this case I recommend to reinstall the driver for the webcam of the official website of Toshiba:
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

And don t forget to check the Windows sound settings. I would try to disable the microphone amplifier and reduce the volume of the microphone.

  • Cooler on Satellite L505 making strange noise

    I have a Satellite 505 for about 6 months, and a few days ago the cooler started making strange buzzing when he works on the high rpm. He fell, got shaked, nothing.
    Is it possible to fix it (maybe clean?) without taking it to the laboratory of support?

    You have enough new notebook with valid warranty, and don t waste your time with temporary solutions and communicate with the service of Toshiba. They should solve the problem.

    Fan may be defective and must be replaced.

  • Satellite A350 - Microphone not found on the computer

    I recently got the computer and functioning perfectly, except the microphone does not work.
    I checked the drivers, and I have 1 thing that says that we don't know. I looked at the list of drivers on the Toshiba site, and I don't see what it would be.

    Any ideas?

    Sorry, but if you use the notebook with unknown device to factory settings can not be there.
    Recovery image contains all the necessary drivers and by default the mic settings should work fine.

    How you tested the mic feature?
    By the way: what Satellite A350 exactly do you have? (A350-xxx)

  • Satellite A500-17 x: strange noise seems to play music or game

    * Hi guys * (!) : ^ 0

    I just bought this A500-17 x, and it's a great piece of kit and everything that is written on the box of backup for one question:

    Noise poping up once every few seconds when playing music or game sounds (similar to a disc scratched or dirty) and a worping effect (sort of blur if you want) or the effect after about 5 minutes of evry sinth.

    Now, I like loud music, so I thought that the speakers 'wee' can't take volume, resulting in a few popping sounds. (similar to the sets of small cheap mp3 player speakers) However, I noticed that the sound can also be heard through headphones and other speakers.

    Regarding the strange noise that is worthy of the Soundtrack of Star Wars, he sews like his experiencing some difficulty of treatment.

    I did the usual stuff such as changing settings, setting eqaliser, search for the drivers but to prevail.

    Now if there is anyone with the same problems or knows a sollution to this problem splease let me know.
    Thank you in advance...

    Also, feel free to use this thread to discuss all your problems sound :D

    Hello

    Have you tried to update the audio driver?
    Do this!

    As far as I know, you can get the latest Realtek audio driver Realtek page.
    You need audio driver Realtek HD.

    In addition, I think that you need to update the BIOS too
    Take a look at the latest European driver Toshiba for BIOS page
    I read here in the forum that BIOS 1.3 - winner should be the most recent

    Hello

    With regard to the problem of noise WEIRD;
    My drive does not spin if no disc has been inserted.
    So if this will happen again and will not stop, so I recommend asking an ASP technician for the verification of the material eventually the STRANGE should be replaced then

    About static noise.
    I'm not very well what you mean, but it would be interesting to know if you notice this m ring all the time or only the navigation in internet.
    Please check the sound is coming from

    In addition, you can try to update the audio driver too.

    Also turn off the microphone in order to check if the sound is not completed as described here

  • Satellite A350 microphone internal problem with Skype

    Hello

    I have a strange problem with the internal mic. If I use the registration option window, the microphone works. Although not large, static noise. But if I use Skype with the internal microphone, it is hardly. Only very soft background noise.
    As much, I know that this is not the problem of the Skype software, I tested Skype on different systems. If I plug in an external microphone it all works.
    I have windows vista installed and a microphone internal realtek.

    I have Toshiba send back for repair, but only replaced the microphone.
    Any ideas?

    Have you checked the sound settings in Windows? The microphone volume is perhaps not at the highest level.

    In addition, you can also change the volume of the microphone in Skype.
    Check it!

  • Keyboard in Logic Pro making strange noise

    Recently, I figured out how to use an audio interface for Logic Pro X so that I can record MIDI and hear me during the recording, but the sound I hear is very strange. When I'm not recording, the regular Steinway Piano preset sounds as it contains some very slow tremolo, making some notes sound an octave higher sometimes. However, when I save, the sound plays back perfectly normal. Anyone know how to fix this?

    Data sheet:

    Roland RD - 800 keyboard

    Interface Audio EX Roland Duo-Capture

    Maybe the RD-800 sends on two or more MIDI channels at the same time. To do this, simply save a note and take a look at the Publisher of the event, how many events is recorded.

    Best,

    DaCaptain

  • A15 - strange noises

    Hello!
    I have an old A15 of 15 months and it started making strange noises. Noises come from the area near the fan (upper right corner). The noises are a scratching noise, beep and a click. The fan does not seem to work properly. But I am concerned about the noise.
    Any ideas/suggestions?
    Thank you!!

    Hi fill me,

    Sorry, but at the top right corner should be DVD - ROM and on the left side, cooling ventilation.

    The sounds you hear are probably noises caused by the DVD-ROM. is there a problem with it? Can you use it correctly?

  • Built-in microphone for Satellite A350 / 07 h pick up static

    Hi all

    Enough in computer science when it comes to the day-to-day management of a computer, but I'm having big problems with my microphone on my model satellite A350 / 0 H.

    Whenever I try to talk to anyone using Msn, all they can hear is static and a small amount of my voice. I currently the amp microphone 0dbs and it helped a little, but is there anything else I can change levels of?

    I have windows vista 32 bit and really dnt want to buy an external mic!

    Recorded playback of my voice is fundamentally static as well!

    Hello

    To be honest I have never had a problem with the microphone yet so I can't say much on the subject, but in your case I would start with driver updates...
    You need to update the driver for the webcam because the microphone is a part of it and the audio driver. Both can be downloaded here:
    http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/ > support & downloads > download drivers

    If it doesn't work you should also update your BIOS. You can find it on the Toshiba site too.

    By the way: the Vista version are you using, is it preinstalled Toshiba or did you do your own installation?

    Help me

    c.p. my ram is 2 MB

    Hello Cezar

    You should clarify directly with your local dealer or the Toshiba service. I have too many Satellite A200 and my laptop is quiet enough and described it is not normal for me.

    Sorry, but to say with certainty if there is something strange or not I should have the laptop in front of me. Second issue with the battery is as strange and it is certainly the second reason to contact ASP.

  • Strange noise coming from the fan on Satellite P100

    My Satellite P100 just makes a noise like a seriously heavy drill. Nothing else happened significantly so I turned off immediately and left for an hour or so overheating had the broken fan.
    Now back on and everything seems fine, but I'm worried. Is there something that can explain this? I got 5 interviews next week for which I use the laptop to prepare a presentation and I do not want to fail on me at the last minute...

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hello

    that could be an object (something really little) is/was blocked in your FAN and is now gone. If this would be a problem of turnover so the fan would still some strange noises.

    I suggest you do the following: use your machine as usual and if noise appears again then ask a technician to clean the fan/ventilation system. I Don t think it s some malfunction of the equipment.

    Good bye

  • Strange noise on a Satellite A55 S1064

    Since two days I have a strange problem with my Satellite A55S1064 aged 1 month. The cooler was very quiet because I bought the laptop, but 2 days ago it began to produce a strange noise that I can't really work on the laptop, it really of destruction. The laptop gets hot, but I think that this is not a critical temperature - my laptop previous also had hot at times.

    An interesting fact is that when I hit the pc a little more noise stops for a few minutes.

    My suggestion is, this cooler gets stuck or sth similar. What can I do about it? I don't want to send my laptop in support, because it'll take some time to check the problem then.

    Hello

    It s a very bad idea to open Notepad by yourself, because you will lose the warranty.
    It s a new portable computer and you do not need threatened security.
    You can make the laptop to your dealer or you will contact the Toshiba service partner in your country.
    I'll take one of these possibilities.

  • Strange noise on my Satellite L50-B-NV

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba L-50 b-1-NV and the case constantly makes a strange noise, as if the load continuously. Sounds like something streaks, I think it's the hard drive, but I'm not sure, because the computer is relatively new (I got it 1 month).

    At first, I thought it was normal, but reached a point where I can not speak for Skype because the noise is annoying for other listeners.

    I opened the Task Manager and it seems quite normal.

    You have an idea, what could happen?

    Thank you very much and greetings.

    On this virtual path, it is not easy to say what the problem is here. It is really strange that this strange noise is so loud for others when using Skype. Is this possible as intensely as internal microphone pick up this noise?

    It must be much better if you use the headset, right? Have you tested it already?
    Is this some sort of vibration or maybe clicking noise?

    You know, these issues should be controlled by technicians. They can put your machine on the desk and hear what is happening exactly. We can discuss here about this problem but it is not easy to say what the problem is here.

  • Satellite C855-12Z - strange noise, even if the cooler is off

    Hello again,

    I have a toshiba satellite c855 12z and I heard a strange noise even if toshiba pc health monitor shows that the heater is off, it's like an air blowing inside the laptop, you need 2 coolers? or can it be the hard drive? When I bought the laptop was very quiet, now I always hear this noise...

    Help please

    It's always hard to talk about things that are not verified...
    There are two things that could create a noise: cooling fans or HARD drive.
    Cooling fans are not DISABLED the cooling module can run at a lower speed, but it is not completely off.

    HARD drive runs too, but it should not create noise if the HARD drive is OK
