Satellite A660-1EM - noise in speakers

• Satellite A660 can I update i5 to i7?

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660-1EM with Intel core i5 460M, and would like to know if I can switch to Intel core i7 720qm.

  Many people want to upgrade CPU to get a more powerful machine. Generally the CPU upgrade is not supported and you can read this in http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB9401AX0001R01.htm

  Supported upgrade is RAM and HARD drive so before taking some upgrade of RAM maximum risk and maybe swap the HDD with SSD is much faster. These upgrades are safe and your machine will work much better and faster than before.

• Satellite A660 - no audio output after you connect it to external speakers

  HI everyone, this is my first post and to vary, I have a problem.

  I have a Satellite A660 11 M and when I connect to a 2.1 system audio external on 3'5 mm jack plug I hear the sound of the harman/kardon speakers, but not the 2.1 System.
  I have an Asus eeepc and works very well. Cable flawless work, is something in the configuration.

  I update the realtek and nvidia drivers and still out of work. Always when I connect the cable, realtek config screen appears and select line, but in works of asus eeepc and the computer toshiba laptop not.

  Concerning

  Try to check the settings in Realtek HD audio Manager. You can find it in the control panel.
  Open it and right on the top of the Hill you will see the folder small yellow symbol.
  Click on it and select the option enable auto popup dialogue...

  After doing this connect external speakers and do not forget the good feature is defined.

  On the same principle, it works with a headset and it works fine on my Satellite A660. When I connect headset I hear his helmet only. With other words, sound signal goes to external display only.

  By the way: I use the original Toshiba recovery image with the factory settings and there is no problem.

• Satellite A660/15J plaintive high-pitched noise

  I had a Satellite A660/15 days for 3 months, running Windows 7 64 bit. The machine emits a constant noise whining acute (kinda like the sound emitted by the first CRT television sets). The source of the noise seems to be the CPU (it is certainly not the cooling fan or HARD drive). Is this a known issue? If so, how can I stop?

  Since when did you notice this problem?
  I can only say that the friend of me has Satellite A660 but without any strange noises. The laptop is quiet, only the fan makes noises so it s running.

  For me, it sounds like a hardware malfunction, but before contacting an authorized service provider that you can try to fix it yourself by updating the BIOS. This can be found on the official website of Toshiba.

  If it doesn t help I would contact the ASP. Guys you can meet if it s or not normal behavior.

• Using headphones on the Satellite A660-BT2G22-sound reads from speakers

  When I plug my Satellite A660-BT2G22 portable headphone the sound plays on the speakers and headphones.

  There must be a way for me to make the game sound only through the headphones and I'd really like that because I'm going to College and will have a roommate and I want to listen to my own music and other things and not force him to hear my stuff all the time.

  Help, please?

  This model of laptop is not known to me, but check the control panel and option for some audio Manager there. Ago on laptops with Soundcard Realtek Realtek HD Audio manager.
  Check all the options, especially little folder symbol placed on the upper right side. When you click the connector settings window will open. Enable auto popup dialogue.

• Satellite A660-167 - audio latency very high indeed

  Hello guys.

  I have a Toshiba A660-167 and I'm having a problem with the audio latency, it is actually very high.
  I am using Windows 7 Home premium 64-bit and I already tried using windows 7 32-bit and windows Xp but the problem remains.

  Toshiba already tried to "fix" my problem, but as they said that my laptop works perfectly.
  If someone knows something about the latency problem that his help will be very appreciated...

  Thanks in advance

  Hi dj_betty,

  And how did you notice this problem of DPC latency?
  You have a problem with noise or speakers as low volume or what?

  I must say that my Satellite A660 runs great. I often listen to music with headphones or speakers in-house and have no problem at all. Music and video will be read correctly.

• Satellite A660 - CPU Whine

  Hello

  I recently bought a new Satellite A660. All right, except for two issues:
  1 - a keyboard problem: one key is extremely sensitive and is active on the slightest touch; I guess this isn't really a problem and can be solved by replacing the keyboard;
  2. the laptop makes a high-pitched noise, which tends to get very annoying when it's quiet in the room. I can say that it is not the fan, DVD/Bluray unit, HDD, or speakers. I noticed that he is present whenever the CPU is used only barely. As soon as I start a process-intensive task of CPU that the sound goes away just to come back as soon as the CPU is essentially inactive. The sound coming from somewhere under the keyboard around the center of the laptop.
  The sound is not present while I'm in the BIOS, but it starts after I boot the system into Windows 7 or Linux. After a short survey on the internet, I discovered that this problem is called "CPU whine" and is related to the use of CPU and inactive States power.

  So far I couldn't find any solution for this (second) issue, so I am here.
  I remember having a similar problem with an older Satellite M40, but it has been resolved by a BIOS upgrade. There are chances that it will be resolved in the same way? Should I get the laptop to a service center?
  Maybe someone from Toshiba can give me an answer too (?).

  Not related to this: If the laptop is replaced, can keep you the replaced appliance HARD drive? I have a lot of things copied on this one and I hate having to go through this whole process again, with a new unit.

  Thanks in advance.

  Kind regards
  Claudiu.

  Hello Claudiu

  I don't think that someone from Toshiba will give you answer here because this is the forum of users only.
  In my opinion, you should contact Toshiba service nearest and ask for help. That's the big difference to discuss with other people of something that no one can see or hear. For this reason I can just say that maybe this will be addressed by the new BIOS but when no one can say with certainty.

  In my opinion you should visit service, take your laptop with you and show exactly what is happening.
  You have the new laptop with a valid warranty model then clarify this with the service as soon as possible.

• Satellite A660 HDD failure

  Hi all
  I've had the laptop for someone to look at.
  The laptop model is TOSHIBA SATELLITE A660, Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
  This is not my laptop, I can't tell if the person has been using some software dengerous like spyware or any other, but I suppose that it is very likely.

  + WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? +
  There is a problem with the HARD disk, a message all the time, SMART 'failure predicted on hard drive '. PC is running, but slow, and not always to start Windows. Has more no guarantee on the computer, the store where it was purchased no longer exists. I don't have a recovery CD and Windows is stored in the recovery partition.
  The owner of the PC complained of strange noises from PC for a while, but I didn't hear myself.

  + WHAT I'VE DONE SO FAR? +
  I searched the forums for an answer, but I have not found.
  I tried to look at the HARD drive, it is stable, not loose and seems fixed correctly.
  First thing I tried was the disk check, but it wasn't even to start. When I restarted the PC once I gave a chkdsk command, there was a black screen with info, it will start the process in 10,9,8... 1 sec, he stuck to 1 sec and never begun the process. After some time I left he thinks, PC off by itself (AC adapter / CC was pulged in all time).
  I tried to find the computer, I brought to the factory settings, but it did not help. The problem is always present and laptop is terribly slow. BTW, I had to try twice, once there was an error: error F3-FFCC-0006, I discovered, that the error appears when the AC adapter / CC was missing, but it is pluged in all the time.
  I brought the BIOS to its factory settings, which is probably not relevant.

  + WHAT I WANT TO KNOW? +
  Is there a possible way to repair the HARD drive?
  OK, I agree that I probably need to buy a new HARD drive, there is only one thing I would like to know. How can I get WIN7 installed without the CD? I know that I have the CD key and license, but how do I get the CD? I do purchuase CD from Microsoft? Purchuased of TOSHIBA recovery CD solve my problem?

  Thanks for any help.
  I will appreciate it asap, cause this laptop is required by the owner of that an option to send the laptop to the service and wait weeks for some 'help' is not an option.

  > Is there a way to repair the HARD drive?

  No, what you can do is to repair / fix the bad sectors on the HARD drive, but if there is a physical problem, it will not help

  > How can I get WIN7 installed without the CD? I know that I have the CD key and license, but how do I get the CD?

  The key belongs to the image of Toshiba that I n t think that it will work to activate the system installed using MS Win 7 disc
  However, you can download Windows 7 image of page Microsoft (google for it)
  Then you can burn the image to disk using Nero or other burning application supporting iso burning and could use this disc to install Windows 7

  Otherwise, you can order the Toshiba recover drive here:

• Flashes and a beep on Satellite A660 - 11M

  Hello

  Is about 3 or 4 months ago, I bought a new Toshiba Satellite A660 - 11 M.
  I noticed the following problem: lights from time to time my laptop occasionally fade or turn on (lights on Toshiba panell, the word 'Satellite' and the line on Touchpad) and a short beep sound rises.

  This situation sometimes friequently (10 - 20 times in a row).
  The worst situation is when (less frequently), the signal becomes continuous and reduced noise control noise at 0.

  Such a problem occurs regardless of the load (this can happen even when the laptop does nothing) and foreign time - so I don't think that this is caused by overheating (laptop is not hot at all).

  I thought that the problem is caused by one of the zillions of Toshiba programs installed on this poor PC.
  I tried to delete everything (Toshiba Eco was the first alleged entity), but this did not help.
  I thought that Toshiba Board (like the main among all these unnecessary programs) is causing the problem, but removal of it caused in the system crash.

  Could someone tell me how to recover my laptop?

  The current workaround is to turn off the beep (in soundcards), but I still see the lights flashing. So I healed a symptom, but not a problem

  Thank you.

  Hello

  Multimedia keys are controlled by VAP (value added package), lighting controlled by BIOS too. You can enable and disable this in the BIOS settings.
  TO be honest it of certainly not possible to say what s wrong precisely because you cannot reproduce this problem, it appears every time in awhile

  What I can recommend, is the BIOS updated. This must be current and must be set to the default value (in the BIOS, press F9).

  If the symptoms will appear again, then the Toshiba technician should check this

• Satellite A660 DVD/CD drive does not detect disks

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba Satellite A660 with a CARPET * A BD - CMB UJ141ES DVD/CD-ROM. It is around the age of 18 months and recently I noticed that it does not recognize the CD/DVD. He made a few noises once inserted but then stops spinning and nothing happens or changes in my computer.

  Please note that there seems to be no apparent problem with the reader:
  -It is present in my computer
  -The device works correctly in Device Manager

  I already tried things:
  -Run Microsoft FixIt and troubleshooting of CD-ROM/DVD - both said that he could not recognize media
  -Remove the upper filter in the registry according to the many suggestions (this lower filters)
  -Update driver

  I don't know what else to do. Please help because it's frustrating for a relatively new laptop which is never left my office (don't expect much damaged parts).

  See you soon

  Hello

  Try to clean the lens of laser disks using a cotton ball and alcohol tip.

  I know that in many cases, this simple workaround solution helped.

• Satellite A660-07U freezes when Streaming video

  I bought a Toshiba satellite A660 07U 2 months ago.
  Since the beginning, when I try to watch any video streaming of Facebook, Youtube, etc, my system crashes completely and don't stop making the zzzzz... noise and I have to manually shut down the laptop by pressing the power button.

  This happens very often now. I contacted toshiba support and the response was to change my microphone amplifier, configure Volume settings... : smileysurprised:.

  Does anyone have advice for this problem?

  Hello

  This only happens for internet streaming videos or have you noticed that also play videos stored on the HARD drive?
  Could it be linked to the internet connection is slow?

  If this isn't the case, then I would check the processes running in the background. Some processes may insist on the CPU, and this might be the reason of this gel.

  Just an another idea;
  Have you checked a few other graphics drivers? Update the driver and test again.
  I recommend also using actors.

  Good luck

• Problems of Freeze/bios satellite A660

  I have a satellite A660 a year already and I experienced a few freezes where the PC and I am unable to do anything, the sound still works for a few seconds and them it change to a scratching noise. The question as always been here, but given that it only happened once a month or less i thought it was a windows freeze or an overheating problem but for some time happened much several times, in four days happened to 8 times. Then I tried to update the drivers and nothing change until the BIOS drivers that I can't not to update because I get the following error (Firmware has no support of flash (AFUWINGUI)).
  I don't know if the update to the BIOS so that solve the problem or if a must send the PC to the guarantee.

  Sorry for my English I'm not a native speaker, and I am grateful for those who can read thought my question and always responds.

  Have you added extra RAM for laptop? Maybe the RAM is not compatible or has a problem. You can test the RAM with Memtest (bootable CD)

  Windows can get damaged over time due to bad judgments etc... It may be a good idea to save your documents and run Toshiba Recovery to restore Windows back to its factory condition.

  If the RAM passes the test and the gel is always held on a Windows factory installation completely fresh, then it is probably a hardware problem.

• Satellite A660 - Fans is very strong

  Hello

  Ive recently bought toshiba satellite a660 11 m, its great, but his fans are very noisy even when im doing nothing (zero open applications)
  When I open the toshiba pc health monitor he always says temp: 50 c on avrg and fans * always * on 68 to 70%. (now when im typing this fans are at 68% and only google chrome opens sometimes it looks like his office, no cell phone)
  Note that laptops is 3 weeks old, so I doubt there is any dust in the cooling system.
  Anyone else having this type of problem?
  THX

  Hello

  What to say... My a500 is also great noise even I tried upgrading the Bios, play with power settings, cleaning of cooling system. fan control utility like speedfan and many other things but still... I just don't pay attention to the noise of the fan. You can reduce the noise loading the Cpu with some applications so that the fan continues to constantly operate at 54% with a less noticeable noise.

• Satellite A660 - 11M - some become blurred

  Hi guys, looking for help.

  The sound on my laptop (satellite a660 - 11 m) has intermittently become garbled. Almost like a rumble of base. sounds terrible, almost as if the speakers are blown if it makes no sense.

  All ideas, IV ' e he was only 3 months old

  Hi Mel_2,

  You may notice the same behavior if you connect headphones or external speakers?

  For me, this looks like a bad sound setting. You should check the sound card options and perhaps reinstall the driver could help you. :)
