Satellite L40: low sound quality

Hello

I have the problem with the sound quality in L40.
Some at the level of the volume of some movies divix is good but in a bit of sound is very low. Likely it has connected with setting the sound card and when I play the movie with surround codec, the sound is very low, but when I play movie in stereo codec, sound is loud and clear.

Where can I change the audio settings and make sure that movies with sound wil surround play in stereo?

PS. Sorry for my writing, I know is terrible ;-)

Hi Darckar

Satellite L40 unknown for me, but all the settings of the sound that you can find in Control Panel under sounds and Audio devices. Check all parameters, in particular under the Audio tab > audio > Advanced Audio properties.

I don't know if this will help, but you can check in any case.

  • Satellite L40 - no sound after reinstalling Windows XP Home edition

    I really need help from anyone out there. I installed Windows XP Home edition on my Toshiba Satellite L40 after that I realized, there is no sound. I tried to install all kinds of updates, drivers and all, but still nothing.

    All make me is that I have no audio device.
    Grateful for the help as soon as possible.
    Holla.

    Do you have the yellow marks in Device Manager?
    Are you sure that you have installed all the drivers?

    Have you installed SP2 or SP3 for Windows XP? You must at least use SP2 for XP.

    And as said Akuma, check the Microsoft KB to the hoftixes. Before you apply this update, you must remove the driver. Otherwise it will not work.

    You can also search in the forum, there are already discussions on this topic.

  • Lower sound quality of 8 GB?

    Hi all

    A player on one of the exams for the 8 GB Clip on Amazon.com (http://tinyurl.com/lqebmv) claims that "the processor was downgraded on the 8 GB model!"

    Can anyone conform or deny this rumor (that I can find mentioned anywhere else)?

    I see nothing else that good reviews of the sound 8GBs, but how it is compared to the 2 GB and 4 GB?

    I ask because, aside from the curious minds wanting to know, I plan to make a clip of 8 GB and giving my 2 G to my father. But of course, I don't want to take a hit in sound quality.

    Thank you.

  • Re: Satellite L40: strange sound USB

    Hi everyone :)
    First of all sorry for my English...

    I recently purchased a L40 - 17U satellite with vista home premium.

    Everything works fine, but I do not understand one thing...

    When I close the Panel/lid and computer goes to sleep/hibernate play a sound (exactly its system - as when disconecting usb). When I open the lid and computer wakes up and plays a sound too, as connection usb... but it's strange, the sound is without ALL the usb devices connected... There is no USB device connected to one of the three usb ports...

    All the works of devives (if logged in) usb very well before and after putting into hibernation, there is no problem with usb, next to that strange noise... There may be any internal device that is disconnected and connected when hibernate? It is not a RTL8187B wlan card (I found somewhere on the internet information, from a guy who has the same sound in his L40, he took off the wlan card and the noise was still there... but for this, no info on what causes this noise)

    I have in my fujitsu siemens Li2727 Office book, and there is no noise like that when going to Hibernate...

    And my question is:
    Is this normal? You have in your L40 the same? What is this mean sound?

    Thanks in advance
    Tom

    Eventually it s only a problem of Vista;

    I found this article Ms knowledge base:

    * + A USB device may no longer work correctly when Windows Vista comes out of standby or hibernation + *.

  • Satellite P300 - poor sound quality using the Dynadock

    I have a laptop Satellite P300, Vista and a * Dynadock VBI * port replicator.
    Except for the audio part of the dynadock works very well.
    I can edit on 2 screens.

    However, the sound is horrible. You can hear only fragments distorted healthy eating and a white noise.
    It takes the dynadock software, because the sound on the laptop is OK and if I connect speakers (Logitech) directly to the laptop, there is no distortion.

    I already downloaded the latest drivers from Toshiba, removed the old software and reinstalled with the new drivers.
    Technical support from Toshiba didn't have an answer.

    One of do you?

    Cordially Frac

    Perhaps there is a ground loop?

    If you remove the power supply of the laptop so its just running on battery, still doing?

  • Poor sound quality - Dell Inspiron 15 77537

    Hi all

    I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 15 7537 i7-4510U, 16.6 "Touch. It had Windows 8.1 in it.

    It works great so far, aside from a BIG problem - the quality of audio playback is terrible.

    When I try to listen to music, I mean hardly any lower-end (or bass). I tried different equipment different buffering - my Sony stereo, as well as, the Beats Pro - the two dissapointing headphones gave results. For example, the same file played on my iPod sounds a LOT better that it does on my new Dell Inspiron. It is similarly for the same YouTube video playback on another computer using the same headset. It seems that all the other equipment (a laptop, iPod, iPhone) all seem the same and much better my Inspiron.

    The audio drivers are up to date (they were automatically selected depending on my model on dell.com). I also tried to change the equalizers on Realtek sound card settings. I noticed the difference, but all the options always leads to a much lower sound quality older compared to my laptop (which I'm sure that has default settings, that I never had no problem with the audio quality).

    Anyone have an idea how I can solve the problem? I heard that Windows 8.1 on some laptops may have some problems with its low-end, would this be the case? My most old laptop also uses Windows 8.1, just as the PC fixed, so I doubt it personally. Is it possible that this could be a manufacturing fault in the sound card?

    Any ideas how I can fix the sound quality are very popular.

    Kind regards
    Marius

    P.S. This is my first post here, so please be nice haha. Thank you!

    Hello. Try changing to the native Windows audio driver:

    1. open Device Manager (type devmgmt.msc in the search box).
    2. develop the 'audio controllers, video & game' and right click on "Realtek High Definition Audio".
    3 Select this option to "Update driver software".
    4. click on "Browse my computer for driver software".
    5. click on "Let Me pick from a list of drivers on my computer".
    6. put the "Show compatible hardware" check box if not already checked.
    7. in the list of devices, click on 'High Definition Audio"(native driver).
    8. click on "next".
    9. in the update driver warning box, click 'Yes' (the driver).
    10 restart the portable computer if you are prompted. If not invited, so no need to restart.
    [To return to the Realtek driver, do it again but reverse the names in steps 1-6.]

    Is there still no bass then it could be a hardware problem, and for this you need to contact technical support. Make sure that the EQ in your music player (such as Windows Media Player) is set to normal. Also when comparing to other devices playback, all their eq and other improvements should be on flat, trying to compare apples with apples as much as possible.

  • Satellite C50-A-1 - sound quality is not good

    I don't know if I'm going crazy, but I recently did my laptop system restore (apply all updates of Windows) and the sound (with headphones) seems not as good. Particularly serious and to some extent, the highs are poor and I have a sort of 'mid range' non-descript sound quality.

    I checked that I was improving on DTS and checked, I got the latest driver from Toshiba has approved for the Realtek HD Sound. The only other thing I thought was the driver on the site from Realtek but suggesting that it's just a generic, and I wonder if it would be kind of a downgrade?

    In any case, would appreciate any thoughts.

    I have S50 Satellite - B and internal speakers are not so good and I m not satisfied with the sound, but this model is that the stereo speakers. But using his s helmet really not that bad especially after activation surround and low thrust option in DTS settings.

    Check also for the advanced options where you can change for the voice, the bass and treble levels. On the right side is also Equalizer so you can change all the settings and if all goes well set out for your headphone sound.

  • Satellite L40-139 - possible to disable the low battery alarm?

    I have a Toshiba Satellite L40-139 it comes with Windows Vista running. I think the battery is now a little age, because it does not load when the computer is plugged in - although the computer itself is capable of functioning when it is plugged in, which is how I use it.

    Battery sank to about 10%. For this reason, the computer will sound low-battery-warning beep every fifteen seconds or more. This seems to come from the computer itself and not the operating system, it sounds different from low battery alerts in Control Panel > sounds.

    I would like to disable this beep - it is not to tell me anything I don't already know. Until now, the only way to achieve this, I have found is by inhibition of the laptop altogether. But is not ideal, because it means that I can't use any other sound feature on the computer.

    I tried, without success, changing the settings in the control panel > power settings, including lower low and critical battery levels and fix warnings for low battery to "off".

    Any ideas?

    Hello

    Please check the BIOS settings.
    To access the BIOS F2 press Mobile start upward.
    There should be an option called something like low battery alarm
    Remember to save the changes before exiting the BIOS.

    Hey Buddy,

    Well, first of all: different laptops have different sound cards and speakers, so you shouldn't t compare it to other models.
    As far as I know Satellite L series isn't equipped with high quality speaker Harman/kardon, the first point it that s

    The next question is when you notice the low sound volume. It's when you watch a video or MP3s? What media player you are using?

    I recommend VLC media player. I use this player for years now and it s excellent freeware tool and it allows you to adjust the volume on a high level.

  • Satellite C660-1 p 3 - poor sound quality

    Hello.

    I bought this phone today and I'm so confused.
    The sound quality is MEDIUM-low.

    No bass, no color just a little of his dish.
    Even a simple cell phone got its best, then my laptop doesn't.

    Where is the so-called "Toshiba Bass enhanced system"?

    Can someone help me? I tried to figure this out for a few hours and I have nothing.
    I have re-installed drivers etc and still nothing.

    Advice or tips would be appreciated.

    Help!
    Thanks in advance!

    I agree with Akuma. You should not expect too much. The C series is not a multimedia notebook that would be more costly.
    I recommend using external speakers, I also use external speakers it s good option to get better sound quality!

    REDA

    Hello

    Satellite L40 is equipped with a sound card high definition and this means that you need to install SP3 first, then the audio driver.
    SP3 contains two patches from Microsoft you need for this sound card.

    So remove the audio driver installed, install SP3 and then reinstall the audio driver.
