Satellite L300-20W - Audio sounds intestine under XP

Hi, I have a L300-20W and I was wondering if there is a reason why the audio seems to be spindly XP over Vista.
I don't see whether speakers like using Vista its not otherwise perceptible.
I used the drivers from the Toshiba site and those from Realtek, the result looks the same.

Ideas and everyone has noticed this?

Thank you
Rob

Did you install XP from a retail disk? Or did you use a Rollback Toshiba Recovery Disc?

Try changing the Audio improvements in Windows Media Player.

But beware, don't set the volume to 200% or a set of maximum bass or whatever it is that, since you might damage the speakers.

  • Satellite L300-20W - DVD will not play

    Satellite L300-20W.
    Laptop CD in WMP fine plays.
    However if I try to play a DVD I get the message "Windows Medial Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer."

    If I try to use a Toshiba DVD player, a box opens (with clouds in there) and almost immediately I get the message "Toshiba DVD Player has stopped working" and then "Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available," but of course he never advise me.

    Any help much appreciated. (Old man and not very technical)
    Thank you very much.

    Hello

    Regarding the error code: Windows Media Player cannot play the DVD because no compatible DVD decoder is not installed on your computer. »

    It seems that your Windows Media Player does not have the necessary plugin DVD decoder that allows you to watch DVDs.
    See this MS knowledge base article:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;306331

    I also recommend to install a codec that allows you to watch other videos stored in other formats.
    K - lite Mega Codec Pack is free and contains all the codecs.

    If you are not able to use the Toshiba DVD software you must reinstall this tool.
    I think that the most recent version is released on the European driver Toshiba page.

  • Satellite L300 has no sound and the modem also does not work

    I have this Toshiba Satellite L300 (PSLB8A - 1F004) an Australian model who was working perfectly until I changed the hard drive after he developed bad sectors.
    I installed Win Vista Business.

    I have all drivers (TOSAPINS file) provided with the original hard drive, but when I installed the drivers in the correct order. IE chipset, modules, audio, modem, and all the other pilots.

    There is still a little red x on the taskbar saying: "no audio output device is installed" and I also noticed that the modem is not listed in Device Manager. I also tried to replace a work from a cell phone same model modem card, but it still shows no signs of picking up the modem as well as his driver.

    I made the attempt to download the drivers from mytoshiba.com.au under the exact model and the OS and installed but nothing helps, the problem is still there.

    No sign of modem picked up and the little red x on the taskbar always shows "no audio output device is installed" and on Device Manager, is not to show the audio or modem. There is also nothing in the typical yellow marks and also I tried to show hidden devices but there is still no sign.

    Is there something else I missed that I can try again?

    I agree, with Akuma. First remove the audio controller from Device Manager (can be found under audio and game controllers).

    Then update the Vista of the State. All patches and Service Packs must be installed.
    Then, restart the device and install the driver Audio from Realtek ALC268 from here:

  • Noise problem Satellite L300 C21 external Sound

    Hello everyone,

    I have a Satellite L300 C21.

    It's been eight months now. But I experienced some "special effects":
    When I plug the laptop through my stereo receiver headphone output, I have great sound.
    It is perhaps a matter of configuration.

    But when I plug - off the adaptor, the noise disappears.
    Running "sur-accu" is very good.

    All solutions?

    Hello

    Perhaps this noise is affected by the main stream sounds like a problem with the Earth or something like that.
    Some guy in the internet have recommended use of 3 power cord cable and adapter
    In most cases, this could eliminate these noises.

    I think you should get in touch with ASP in your country. Maybe guys might provide you with another power adapter cable

  • Satellite L300 17L - audio driver problems

    Audio driver problems, I use Windows XP SP2, I installed the MS patches, but still there is no sound.

    And in the control panel in the sound section says that there is no audio driver installed.

    I need help please!

    Hello!

    It s a known issue and when you search a bit in the forum you will find a large number of publications on this subject.

    Remove the sound card from the Device Manager and the high definition Audio Controller from Device Manager.
    And then update Windows with KB835221 & KB888111 patch, reboot several times, and then you can install the driver from Realtek but download and install Realtek driver directly.

    This just happened today, and coincidentally after that I opened something Realtech HD audio in the control panel.
    I saw just what it was, then I changed everything back to the settings by default, but anyway, when I m watching Qi, a very good show btw, the speech of the guests is so quiet compared to the roar of the audience.

    I know that it s not the record, because I just watched the same one last night and it was very good.

  • Satellite L300-20W - "error loading operating system"

    When I turn on my laptop, the Toshiba screen charge then it will a blank black screen with a white underscore flashing in the upper left.

    A few seconds later this message appears in the upper left corner "error loading operating system" I watched v online on how to solve this problem, but all that happens is complicated jargon.
    Anyone know how I can remedy this in simple terms?
    See you soon

    Hello

    I can't say with certainty what may be the problem but maybe HDD (hard drive) is a troublemaker.

    Start your laptop and press F2 to enter the BIOS settings. Check if the HARD drive is recognized and registered properly on the page. Load the settings by default using F10, then restart your laptop.

    The same thing happens again?

  • Satellite L300 - made HARD drive failure?

    Hello

    I have a Satellite L300 age of 4 years (under Vista) who is suddenly suspended frequently.
    A bit of investigation leads me to think that it is a hard drive failure.
    Basically, chkdsk/r crashes at step 4. Disk defragmentation also blocks.

    I can start safe mode, and it seems to work ok.
    Is not an expert, could someone tell me if I jump to the wrong conclusion?
    Y at - it a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

    If the standard duration for these hard drives 4 years?

    Finally, when a hard drive crashes, it's just the specific physical areas that are illegible? or will it progessively spread and worsen very quickly?

    And I have everything backed up if not concerned about data loss but I was wondering about the short-term future.

    Thank you for any advice and provided thoughts.

    > Is there a diagnostic tool to specific hard drive from Toshiba that I could use?

    You can use another tool of diagnosis of HARD disk as disk HARD Drive Fitness Test.
    This freeware tool that allows you to scan the HARD drive.

    This software creates a diagnostic boot disk and you will need to boot from this drive to run the test.

    > Finally, when a hard drive fails, is it only specific physical areas that are illegible? or will gradually expand and worsen very quickly?

    HARD drive problems are always difficult.
    In most cases if the HARD drive crashes, you will be able to access files stored on the HARD drive.
    But different COMPUTER experts would still be able to recover files lost with special tools. But in most cases, these rescue operations are expensive and cost a lot of money.

  • No audio device installed Satellite L300-28R (PSLB8E-12T018GR)

    Hello

    My English isn't the best, unfortunately. Maybe someone can help me.

    The following problem:

    A Satellite L300 ran without problems until now with windows 7 (32 bit). I had then increased PC speakers of this came of trust with a USB flash drive that will serve as an audio interface for mailboxes. He has been infected by the first recognized by Win7, installed, and I could use Ihne. But then the sound card integrated (Realtek HD Audio) is disabled. Now, when I remove the USB audio interface I have no more sound. There is a lack of complete the "Realtek HD Audio" entry in the audio control.

    In the Device Manager is not an entry ' Audio, video and game controllers' also appear longer. The interesting thing about the HD audio driver, but he is always installed correctly. It is found but no entry for more video, audio, game controllers, and if I was in the toolbar the look of speakers just click on it a red cross when he get up "no audio output device installed."

    On this, I tried to uninstall the system USB audio drivers (no problem) has restarted. Not always the same sound problem.

    That's why I completely uninstalled all drivers audio and tried Windows 7 default drivers. The same problem. I uninstalled the audio drivers, this time I tried the drivers Toshiba, same problem.

    Fact is I can remove all the drivers, reinstall, which happens without problem and the error message, then it is same because "drivers have been installed, the machine can be used now" I click on what there is also my drine Realtek HD Audio. But then I opened the Soundsteurung he wrote me, "No audio device installed" it's almost as if the onboard sound has been disabled in the BIOS, but unfortunately there is no entry exists, since the BIOS is usually something to bend parameters.

    I have integrated sound card in my vemutung the BIOS from a USB audio interface is disabled, I would now like to 'hidden' bios unlock options and manually activate the sound again. Unfortunately, I do not know how do I unlock the BIOS.

    Is there anything else maybe ideas, suggestions or solutions? Have already the system is set up with new same problem, the drivers are installed, the device is detected and marked as ready, but not input in the audio control and no entry in the Manager of devices for "audio, video and game controllers".

    Once had a similar problem with my desktop where I could pass without any problem, but the onboard sound in the BIOS again, unfortunately, what with the Toshiba BIOS Lite is not the case.

    Hope someone can help me here, slowly I won't now, so that a new installation was not, I see the problem with the BIOS setting.

    Answers in German would be nice

    Greetings and thanks

    Hi mate

    To be honest I'm not quite sure what the problem might be m.
    Your ad is also a bit confusing.

    First of all, the BIOS is not similar to the BIOS that you can find on desktop PC and as far as I know there is no special option to enable or disable the sound card.

    So I think that in your case, it s BIOS not deliver.
    I think that its Windows operating system that makes some disorders who knows maybe the registry is confused up similar facts is that you should see some yellow exclamation points in device if Manager driver would be absent or you should see an unknown device in the devices list

    The latest Realtek audio driver could be downloaded directly from the Realtek page, but even if the Realtek audio driver is not installed Win7 standard driver should recognize the sound chip and sound must be detected during the operating system installation.

    I think you should try to install a driver from Realtek but if this won't help you, then you should try a new installation of the OS. Get it back you would help define the laptop back to factory settings and I think it's the fastest solution in your case

  • Satellite L300-1AQ - microphone picks up all sounds

    Hello

    I installed windows 7 on Satellite L300-1AQ. everything seems to be in order except for the microphone? It captures all the sounds. I use Skype, a large part of the time. Someone had pulled in a solution for this? I see it's a pretty common problem following a search on google but still it doesn't seem to be a definitive solution. I paid up the microphone up to 100 and 40 dB in its settings, but when I try to record sounds that he came back only with nothing.

    Thank you

    Hi Dermotsull,

    Have you installed most recent the the official website of Toshiba webcam driver?

    I ask this question because the microphone is part of webcam and so this driver must be installed correctly.
    In addition, I would recommend updating the audio driver. You can find it on the Web from Toshiba site too.

    By the way; As far as I know a few series L300 is equipped with the chip Realtek audio.

    If the its doesn't work under Win XP you could install the audio driver from Realtek site.
