• Satellite A100 - no sound with Windows XP Pro SP3

  Hello

  I'm the reconstruction of a laptop Toshiba A100-PSAA9A-10U038 with a new installation of Windows XP Pro SP3.

  At this point, I have not all sounds (Yes, the volume is set to the top).

  As this is my first post I covered I hope that most of the bases as with SP3 and I installed all the updates available from Toshiba and Microsoft - well at least, I guess I have. I downloaded the latest updates from Realtek who advised in a general forum but no luck.

  Device Manager tells me that there are problems with a "PCI Device" and a "unknown device", and I assume that one of these two is the culprit.

  Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

  Hi mate

  I think that you have installed the driver of his evil.
  See this page:
  http://www.MyToshiba.com.au/support/notebooks/satellite/A100/psaa9a-10u038/download?OS=22

  you will find all of the Win XP drivers for this model of laptop.
  As you can see there are two different Realtek drivers:
  V Realtek Audio Driver 5.10.0.5253
  -Realtek ALC861 Audio Driver 5.10.0.5200

  To my knowledge, you have the Realtek HD audio Manager.
  But before install you the audio driver SP3 must be installed, it seems, that you did
  However, the most recent audio Realtek driver can be downloaded from the Realtek page directly.
  Select this check box, and then choose Manager Realtek HD audio for Win XP.

  Should work.

• Performance issues with Vista on Satellite L40 - 14N

  I just signed up to your forum, it's really nice, how it works.
  I bought 3 months ago, a satellite L40-14N, with Vista Home Premium pre-installed, but I'm starting to get tired of the delays.
  I also have a problem, always Walker I want to open some windows, such as control panel or my computer and all my icons on the desktop disappear after some time will be displayed again, but not the application open before (Panel configuration or my computer).

  I wanted to ask all of you, what may be the problem, in fact I think to get rid of Vista and install XP, do you think it would be a good idea?
  If so, what kind of xp (sp2, sp3, etc.)? And, what I would have in return when I install xp, as what drivers need me for my laptop works properly again?

  Thank you very much... good day

  Hello

  He knows that the Vista operating system is in need of more resources as a Microsoft OS at the beginning of s.
  I have a Vista on the L30 and I get a really slow performance.
  In addition many services and processes running in the background of the operating system. It also decreases performance.
  But all background processes are needed if you want to use all the features of notebooks such as the FN keys or buttons to Toshiba for example.

  However, I've installed XP on the L30 without any additional driver for the FN keys, control buttons etc and it was amazing to see how fast the laptop can be.

  So generally it s not a bad idea to install XP on the L40.
  But note; If you want to install XP on the L40 you must install the Intel Matrix Storage Manager first. Without this driver SATA XP does not recognize the HARD drive.

• His record is not possible on Satellite L40 - 14N

  Hello...

  Bought a Satellite L40 14N last November and have been very happy with it.

  I want to record audio on it. When I start Microsoft Sound Recorder, a small window appears with the message "an audio recording device is not found." As the machine apparently has a sound card with the inputs and outputs, it's quite strange. Surely, you have actually to plug something in the front entrance on the side of registration comes into force?

  If I try to record with Audacity, Audacity can't see even a recording device.

  Someone at - it solutions?

  Thank you...

  Hello

  Usually, you can use the external microphone for sound recording.

  1. open the 'control panel' (Standard view)
  2. click on 'hardware and sound '.
  3. click on "sound."
  4. click on the "Recording" tab

  You should see all the available recording devices. If only one microphone is available so that you can only use this device for sound recording!

• How to stop Satellite L40 - 14N connect to non-preferred networks?

  I'll put up a Satellite L40 - 14N notebook and only want it to be able to connect to a designated wireless LAN router. The network adapter is a Realtek RTL8187B and the laptop runs Windows Vista Edition home premium (v6.0.6000). The machine is currently working on a WLAN with WPA pre-shared key.

  I have read a number of Web pages such as:

  http://ask-Leo.com/how_can_i_block_neighboring_wireless_networks.html

  At halfway on this page, it displays the setting "Automatically connect to non preferred networks" in one of the boxes of properties. In the property fields I see on this machine the I can't find this setting and I don't have a list of options to change the priority of connection or preferred networks.

  Does anyone know if the automatic connection to other networks can be disabled on this computer and if so... How?

  I need the machine for details of a unique WLAN connection and if the network is not present then do not access anything else.

  I noticed the "Connect to a more preferred network if available" parameter in one of the other properties boxes, is this similar?

  Any help much appreciated! :-)

  Pete

  Hello

  "As explained on the website of the 3rd party you should uncheck the option to automatically connect to the non preferred networks.
  You must mark the neighbours WLan and press the properties button.
  Then a new window should open and on the Connections tab, you should * uncheck * the option called + Connect then this network is in range.

  Hi all!

  I have Toshiba Satellite L40 - 14n. When I try to run any game, I see the following message "the game may not be coherent agp is off." Please enable agp for consistency.

  Tell me please how I can do this.

  Hello

  Because the graphics card is hollow connected the AGP bus it must be another problem because if AGP is not active then windows would not be able to start up.

  Which game you play? I recommend you do the following things:

  -update your entire operating system (windows update)
  -Make sure you have the latest version of DirectX installed
  -update the drivers for your graphics card
  -apply the latest patch available for the game you play

• Satellite L40 - 14N - RAM who do I take for an upgrade?

  Hello, I have a Satellite L40 - 14N with 1 GB of RAM, and I'm using Vista.

  I have been informed that a bit more RAM would be better so I think to upgrade. On the Toshiba product page, it says that the maximum is 2 GB, and now I'm wondering if it is better to get a key of 1 extra GB or to replace the 1 GB with a 2 GB one?

  Hello

  Satellite L40 - 14N supports up to 2 GB of RAM maximum, you said.

  You buy an extra RAM or you replace the 1 GB with a 2 GB module. It s you according to what you do.
  In your case I would buy an additional 1 GB module because it does not cost so much and I n t see a reason why you should use a single module.

  For the upgrade, you need a memory SO-DIMM PC2-5300 Module.

• Satellite L40 - 14N boot question without power cord

  Had this problem for a while, any ideas please?

  My Satellite L40 - 14N sometimes won't start when the power cord is not connected. It starts ok but when I get to the Windows screen drops colored that keep moving from left to right and the machine will not get one more no matter how much time is left.

  This never seems to happen when the power cord is connected and is turned on, it starts very well.

  Hi starmonkey,

  What power lead do you mean exactly? Do you mean the AC/DC adapter?

  To be honest, I also don t know why this happens, but you use pre-installed OS from Toshiba?
  You have installed a different display driver?

  Maybe you should try to reinstall Windows in worst case it s a bad material work :(

• Satellite U400-11U: no sound with HDMI output

  Hi all

  I am the proud owner of a model of satellite U400-11U PSU40E running with Windows Vista.
  Recently, I tried to view a video on my TV. To do this, I used the HDMI output of the laptop connected to the TV.

  I took care to connect the cable to the TV and only after to the laptop.
  Then use the quick access key (Fn + F5), poster image on the TV.
  Unfortunately, there was no noise.

  After some googling, I discovered that I needed to activate the HDMI audio output via the control panel of the sound.
  Unofrtunatly, when viewing, I have found no output Audio HDMI, but only speakers and another exit (whose name I forgot--sorry).

  I tried to update the video and HDMI audio drivers (I noticed that there is a HDMI audio driver in the perpipherals system, which was considered 'work' of Vista), but it changed nothing.

  So, what can I do to activate the audio output over HDMI?

  Hello

  Please see this FAQ from Toshiba:
  http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401B00001R01.htm

  You will find an instruction how to solve this problem... it s about Qosmio G30 but I think it should work on U400 too...

  The point is that you must set the S/PDIF audio output by default!

  And don t forget to RESTART the laptop after the change was made.

  See you soon

  Hello

  After having managed to activate my card WiFi on my Satellite L40 - 14N, I encounter the following problem... it to seem like I'm not getting an ip address from my router. I can see my router, and Vista says I'm connected (a little), but I don't get an ip address. All I get is limited connectivity and that the adapter does not have an assigned ip address (I guess from the feature of automatic configuration of windows).

  Someone at - he a clue on why this would be?
