Satellite C660-13R - cannot use microphone with Skype

Try to use Skype. Webcam fine but no microphone. No sign of one anywhere in the Control Panel etc. I tried to install driver from the Toshiba site. Still no sign of an available microphone. I used to work in PC support, so I should be able to resolve this but really stumped!

I want to Skype with my grandson. My husband is sick and I am getting really fed up!

Any help really appreciated.

    How can I flasch BIOS with other versions,
    His big problem to work

    Thank you and I hope you can help me...

    Hello

    The version of the BIOS should be mentioned in the BIOS settings.
    Turn on the device, press F2 and verify the version here.

    Also I recommend the settings of the BIOS back to default settings.
    In the BIOS settings, you will need to press F9 to get the default value. Then save the changes and exit the BIOS.
    Restart the machine and check how many processes are running in the context of the BONE.

    I recommend disabling of certain non-essential processes in msconfig.
    There, you can go to the Startup tab and could uncheck the unnecessary process.

  • Satellite C660-13R - BIOS update problem

    Hi all

    I was updating the BIOS on TOSHIBA SATELLITE C660-13R of 64-bit windows 7. Downloaded driver toshiba web. To halfway the portable installation hangs. I left it for 40 minutes to run, but he did not return to the normal state. As the motherboard fan began to move at high speed, I decided to take out the battery. Result when I power my laptop back I 1 beep from the motherboard and a black screen.

    Can someone help me please?

    Of course, the BIOS update procedure has not. Something was wrong during the update process and it seems that the EMRPOM module was not properly flashed.
    This is the reason why the laptop is no longer.

    Possible solution?
    Well, if EMPROM isn t damage, it should be possible to re-flashing the BIOS module once more, using special version of BIOS and crisis disk BIOS.
    Usually the authorized Toshiba maintainer in your country should be able to re-flash of the module using this disc of crisis.

    I also read in this forum that some people managed to re-flash EPROM module using some 3rd party crisis disk found somewhere in the internet but it still does not
    The ASP will therefore probably be your last resort

    However, to use the forums advanced search option to find related discussions on the crisis disk BIOS could be interesting for you

  • Satellite P300D - 12L - problem of microphone with Yahoo messenger and Skype

    Hi again!

    I use Windows Vista 64 SP2 and I have a problem with the microphone, if I use Yahoo messenger, Skype.
    If I want someone to talk to, no one can hear me, or I don't hear from him. There is no difference whether I use Internet or wireless cable. I get the message "wifi weak signal" or something.
    I have to mention the fact that, among all attempts made so far once worked, but just once. Im going to crazy. Can someone help me please?

    Thanks in advance

    Microphone internal generally on Toshiba laptops work correctly with different messengers, especially with Skype.
    I checked on several laptops and did not notice a single problem.

    So I guess there must be a problem with the audio settings.
    Did you install own OS or the Toshiba Recovery for 64-bit image?
    Audio driver is installed correctly?
    Have you tested with headphones?

  • Satellite C660-223 - system caution: "" problem with cooling detected system "".

    When I carry my Satellite C660-223 somewhere for example wear at home to College in a protective case in my backpack, I sometimes get a window warning flashing upward every 20 seconds or so said system + "warning: a problem with the cooling system has been detected." Please turn the computer off immediately and return it for service. +

    This only happens when I transported somewhere and as a first step, that these warnings system flashed only sometimes upwards after I hauled somewhere, but in the last two years, he started to get pretty much whenever I took the laptop somehwere. When the system warnings blink until the computer doesn't feel a little warmer than normal. no danger of overheating, immediately.

    I didn't fix it because the problem seems to resolve itself the next time that I carried the computer somewhere. It's a very strange problem where the short-term solution was the same as the cause: as in I would take the laptop somewhere, the warning system flash upwards and I learned that take "for a walk" would fix somehow everything which was the 'problem '. I solved the problem in this way too often so he could be a coincidence.

    So for a while it wasn't really a problem because I just didn't take the laptop anywhere. But the warning system has recently start flashing to the top if I wear just the laptop on the floor, and the warning system does not disappear with my method incredibly non-tech-savvy to "go for a walk", which I am sure many here would give something to laugh :).

    The obvious answer is that I need to get the service pronto thing, but I'm in the middle of final exams and the situation of tech in my house means I can't leave the laptop away for service for who knows how long when I really need to study.

    Responses, I'm hoping to get are ideas as to what actually caused this problem and short-term solutions that are a little better informed that my approach "going for a walk".

    I think THAT what is, is that the movement to carry your laptop around in a backpack something within the done cooling system moving out of place causing the evil TI work. I say this because, while writing this thread I was turn the laptop over and over again to get a look at the stickers on the back and the practice that seems to have "solved" the problem of warning system because this window flashes up while he was only a few minutes ago.

    It seems so that all component moved his place before been moved back again by the movement to turn the laptop over and over. And I was not even take him for a walk!

    Any help? Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    This notification may appear for different reasons.
    The alert might appear due to
    (1) cooling system malfunction
    (2) blocked cooling vents or fans
    (3) software question (VAP - added value package or BIOS)

    Malfunction of the cooling system, you should contact the service agents at the difficulty.

    In case of a blocked vent and fans it s enough to clean the parts using a jet of compressed air.
    This allows to get rid of dust inside the cooling module.

    If the vents are not blocked and you still see this message, check the application of the service station for updates on your computer. If any are found, download and install.
    You can try to uninstall or update the Toshiba value added Package. This package contains a few essential tools and utilities that control the cooling system too.
    Also check BIOS update.

    But if you continue to receive this error, your laptop may require repair

  • Satellite C660 - can I use own Win7 without Toshiba bloatware?

    Hey,.

    So basically I have a Satellite C660 and it came with an iso on the D drive. So, whenever I need to clean my system I use the iso of the d drive and it will be like new again. However I hate all this toshiba bloatware, that settles and all the other stupid stuff, so I was wondering if I have a disc of windows 7 and as started the laptop from the drive and installed windows 7 from her without all the stupid stuff, everything would still work as usual? or what?

    Thank you.

    In General, you can do with your computer laptop all you want, and nobody don't require you to use preinstalled stuff. You can install Win7 clean version and if you install all the necessary drivers it works without any problem.

    Please note: for this own Win7 version you must have a valid license for the product activation and before starting the installation create recovery for recovery image back-up DVDs. After installing Win7, you will not be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery image.

    What I do and can also recommend to you and all other people, is the optimization of operating system pre-installed. Use original Win7 but remove things you don't need. After doing this you will have original, activated the OS that will run more quickly and without unnecessary stuff.

  • Satellite M200 - Chicony webcam not compatible with Skype

    Greetings!

    I have a Satellite M200 series and my Webcam Chicony works very well with YM. When I tried to use it on Skype, he'll tell me that "Skype has not found video source preferred. Webcam can be used in another application. Then I tried to move to the tools in Skype and checked the video settings, I changed the cam of default for a Chicony USB 2.0, still the same error message. The next thing I did was open the software assistant camera, but by clicking on the buttons will do nothing. I can open the device itself. So, I updated the device driver in Device Manager and the result is that I had the best and the last driver installed. Still not working in Skype.

    Any suggestions? I'll be very grateful for any help. Thank you.

    Hello

    I think that Skype is one of the best applications to work with the webcam. I use it on the first day of purchase and there is no problem at all.
    What you can do is to restart your laptop, switch-webcam help software, start the Skype and try to configure the webcam in Skype settings again.

    He has to work. It works on my Satellite P200 and my Satellite U400 friends. He has to work in your case too.

  • Satellite Pro 4320: cannot use PCMCIA card after update BIOS 2.70

    Hello!

    I'm using the Toshiba Satellite Pro 4320 (SP 4320). With the very old BIOS (first) version 1.0, the system has worked well on LINUX (Ubuntu) and Windows XP. So I found the update of the BIOS (latest version on the toshiba Web site). I did update the BIOS version 1.0 BIOS version 2.7.

    Now, I can't use any PCMCIA card.
    Everything works fine, but I can't use two PCMCIA slots.
    The cards will be recognized, but the system says that there is a resource conflict.
    (WLAN/WiFi adapter) PCMCIA cards worked very well with the old BIOS version 1.0, but now it does not work.

    Windows XP says: 'conflict resource' and Ubuntu/Linux said after typing dmesg: "pccard gives wrong answer, for example."

    Please, help me!

    Someone got an older version of BIOS?
    My idea is to 'downgrade' the BIOS BIOS version 1.0 or version 1.x.

    I have to downgrade the BIOS to at least 2. 6.

    Bye,.
    Martin

    Have you tried installing WXP again using Toshiba Recovery CD?
    I mean it's so old model of laptop and I can't imagine that Toshiba will offer this update of the BIOS so long if there is a serious problem with it.

  • Cannot share screens with Skype Windows 8

    I can't share screens with Skype (Windows 8). I've looked everywhere but I couldn't find a solution for this.

    I tried: by clicking on the + button in a conversation as well as just by clicking on the contact and search for screen sharing button. See the two screenshots as an attachment.

    Can someone please help me to find the function of sharing screen on Skype version of windows 8?


    The application of the "modern" of Skype for Windows 8 does not yet support screen sharing.

    If you want to be able to use the screen sharing feature, then you must install the version of office 'normal '.

    The version of office currently last Skype can be installed here:
