Satellite L20: Headset is very low

Hi, I received my new satellite L20 and I am impressed so far with it, however the sound through speakers mp3s, etc. is fine, but the sound when I plug in my headset is very low and nothing like my old laptop nec.

Are there settings or anything like that, or it's just the way it is? If Yes is it possible to amplify it?

Thanks in advance.

Hello

Looks like a controller in the Volume control is set at the lowest.

Please go to Sound & Audio Devices Properties Panel controller. In the tab Volume, please select Advanced. You will find some volume controllers. Replace the secondary controller.

Good bye

    Hello

    first time here,

    My satellite l450d audio output looks like at a very low rate, crack etc... and when I close the lid it make a kind of feedback noise hard.
    I tried to update realtek hd audio drivers with no luck.

    any help much appreciated.steve

    Hey Buddy,

    What operating system you have installed on your laptop?
    And where did you downloaded new audio drivers? The site Web of Toshiba or Realtek page?

    In addition, it would be interesting to know the same behavior on external speakers or headphones. You can test this?

  • Satellite L50 - B has very low-speed Wi - Fi

    Hello, I have a problem with my new B - L50 (bought yesterday for my son). The internet connection is very slow while my other laptop works very well. And if I go away from more than 5 metres from the Wi - Fi hotspot, no more connection!

    Can someone help me? Is this a problem with the Wi - Fi card (at the bottom of the range)?
    Thanks for your help

    What kind of standard Wi - Fi do you currently use?
    The WLan card standard can be changed:
    -> WLan card device manager-> properties-> Advanced tab

    Also I recommend you to check the Windows Advanced Power options.
    Within the option to advanced, you'll find the setting for a Wi - Fi connection.
    It might be possible that the Wi - Fi power option reduces performance of a Wi - Fi connection in order to save the battery.

    Finally and above all it s always advisable to perform the update of the WLan driver (if new version is available)

    If this workaround solution does not help, I recommend you contact the Toshiba ASP to verify the Wlan card. Signed low might be related to problems within the WLan module or antenna...

  • Satellite L20-101 - very low sound

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite L20-101, Windows XP (Service Pack 3). Yesterday, the sound of my laptop started to play very very low.

    Drivers audio (conexant AC-link audio) seems to work fine, and I'm all set to maximum volume.
    It was sudden. One moment he was working well, and the next time I start it the sound was strangely low.

    I don't know if it's a hardware problem, or if she could we have resolved to restore the entire system with the recovery CD (I prefer not to do so).

    Any ideas? Any help?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think you should check the sound volume using the headphones.
    If the headphones work correctly the problem might be related to internal speakers.

    But to be honest it is really not easy to say what causes this problem as I said can be faulty speaker but you should also check all possible settings and perhaps a new OS reinstall would also be a good idea.

    It would be useful to know if the sound issue would persist using the laptop with clean, factory setting.

  • Satellite A500 - very low micro - Windows 7

    I just bought a Satellite A500-026 and although I increased the gain and the boost to the microphone up and turned on and off modes of noise control three microphone, the microphone performance is very low and essentially unusable unless we talk very loud.

    This happens with the provided standard registration program webcam and Skype. Note that the laptop came with Windows 7 installed.

    As I am 500 km the nearest reseller, can anyone who has an A500 comment on the 'power' of the microphone in their experience.

    My Bluetooth headset and MIC work fine, but it's a pain to have a webcam made marginal by running poorly built in microphone.

    Thank you
    John

    It is the same on older models of laptops. You simply have to come close to the microphone.
    For this reason, I always use headset and people who I talk to hear me perfectly.

    You know, this built-in microphones are not so perfect and you can't expect better performance and compare it with standard headphones.

  • The volume is too low on my Satellite L20

    First of all sorry for my bad English...

    I just bought a Satellite L20 and I am very disappointed by the volume of the speakers... I read several other post with people complaining of the same issue.
    It is almost impossible to watch a movie being able to catch all the words! The problem remains when you connect earphones.
    I already checked that al volumes are at the maximum level (Control Panel, hardware, player windows media, powerdvd etc.).
    I am very angry with this as I often watch movies and listen to music, but the volume is really low...
    Is there something to do?

    Hi arch

    My colleague has Satellite Pro L20 (same as Satellite L20). I saw this camera and the sound quality is not the best. I agree with you that the sound is not loud, especially in writing, because the hands cover the speakers.

    If you check other notebook series speakers are, as a rule, placed close to the screen. In my opinion, it is much better solution. In any case the Satellite L20 is unit low budget and the focus was not multimedia surgraves just. So that the camera is very good and the price is right.

    Personally, I want to have the multimedia unit, but these units are much more expensive. Unfortunately, you have to live with it. In any case, I hope that you will reach all day on your device and there is no other serious problems.

    Good luck!

    These questions are often set with BIOS or update the driver. At the moment is unclear to me that there is a solution for this. Sorry, but I think we must wait to see if Toshiba will offer some updates next days, or even weeks. :(

  • Very low sound on Satellite L655-13U

    Please can someone tell me the solution to improve the volume.

  • Re: Satellite U300 hibernates when the battery is very low

    Hello

    I bought my satellite U300 141 two weeks ago.
    The computer is not put into hibernation when the battery is very low.

    I checked the settings of vista, default 2% of the battery capacity, the laptop must Hibernate. But mine is not.
    But I noticed that the battery level does not fall below 5%. I tried to change the setting of vista from 2% to 5%, but it has no effect.

    Telephone toshiba support told me to update the package of the value 'stretched out' or something like that, but it has no impact too.
    the problem is still there.

    Anyone have an answer?
    I also tried to update the BIOS, but during the upgrade process, the software told me that I can't because I'm not the administrator of the computer, I am sure I am.

    so, if someone can help me please...

    Please check first if hibernation was enabled in Vista power options.
    Then you can assign to hibernation level up to 10%

    Maybe then your laptop will be able to enter hibernation mode

  • Very low noise of satellite A75-S211

    Just installed fresh Win XP Pro SP2 integrated. Support Web site of the downloaded drivers for this version of Toshiba laptop. All recognized devices, driver installed and no conflict. But...
    ... sound is very very very LOW! I can hear only if I put the the volume slider to the top and put my ear to the speaker. I downloaded from www.realtek.com.tw updated AC 97 driver version and the problem persists (no driver installation using setup.exe but pointing to the .inf file in the extracted folder of WDM of downloaded the driver file - I'm not fan of SW resident installed by setup.exe with driver).
    I found a few posts here about problems with audio in XP SP2. It seems a common problem for Toshiba laptops in the case of XP SP2 :-(

    Hello

    There are many different opinions on the installation of SP2. I have two units with SP2 and I there is no problems.

    I did not try to install Windows XP Home SP2 integrated edition. I installed additional SP2 and it works very well.

    AFAIK the A75 is American machine. Please visit this link

  • Equium L20-197 - sometimes its is very low

    I need help, sort out what's wrong with the sound on my laptop.

    The audio is not working properly. I tried using the audio troubleshooting, but this does not seem to solve the problem,
    If I play an audio CD and the system sounds are very low.

    I have control of the volume on the highest setting and there is very little sound coming from the speakers.
    Please can someone help me solve this problem. He

    won't happen that recently - the sound has allowed the other day.

    Thank you very much

    Hello

    There might be a hardware issue I m talking abut speaker problem
    But have you checked the sound using headphones?
    This if the sound is weak, even using headphones so I recommend to check the sound card settings and the driver

    First you need to go to Device Manager and should remove the sound card in device list
    Then you must restart the device and reboot after that new windows operating system should recognize the sound chip again.
    Then check the sound using different audio and video players

  • Satellite A100 - very low speaker volume

    Hello

    Recently, the volume of my speaker has been very low - barely audible.
    The speakers are Realtek High definition.

    The volume is set at 100%. I checked the properties of reading, recording and sounds and they all work very well.
    The problem occurs if I play CDs, videos online or applications such as RealPlayer - anything really.

    Any advice would be much appreciated.

    Thank you

    Gary

    Hello

    I guess you are which means that the sound card (it s Realtek High definition) and not speakers ;)
    However, have you checked the settings in the control panel-> Manager Realtek HD?

    Do it! There are a lot of different parameters that control the quality of the sound and there you can assign different audio effects

    I think you should check this certainly!
