Satellite L500 sound quality is very low
Bought sucessfully above and upgraded to Windows 7 to XP.
However, the sound is terrible - hail.
This is applicable to the CD, DVD, and especially when you listen to audio books and it is impossible to listen to the radio. Have tried to change the settings of the speakers Realtek High Def, but no difference.
Test of Windows 'sounds' are very good and the sound from two speakers.
Having a Statellite about 5 years old and sound is far superior.
Not an expert and don't know where else to look to improve the quality.
Can't believe that this is supposed to be like this.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Stand by.
Your laptop is equipped with Win7 preinstalled (factory settings)?
Have you noticed that on the first day or now after installing Win7?
Have you tried to change the sound settings in the player you're using (compensator)?
Compare with old notebook is not so relevant. I have 4 years old Satellite M70 with a sound and harman/kardon speakers is fabulous and much better and stronger than the newest Satellite A300.

Hi navnyu,
(a) what software do you use to record audio? Using Sound Recorder in Windows Vista or any other third-party application?
(b) what device you use to record audio? Micro analog video camera, CD player and DVD player
You can check the volume settings on the device itself for the volume levels.
Also check the settings of volume (if available) in the recording software
Run the FIXIT available in the link below and check if that helps

Satellite C870 - sound quality & Bluetooth connection problem
C870 satellite.
(1) problems with Bluetooth - machine could not find other peripheral and there were communications problems;
(2) I am very, very disappointed by the quality of the sound. The speakers are very poor. If I had known I wouldn't n buy it! Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to check it out and assumed Toshiba will keep minimum standards in this area.
In the past (a few years ago)I used PC Toshiba laptop and it was OK.
To be honest, I bought for this calculated because of my good experience of the past, but will be more careful in the future.Now I have to life with her in the past 800US.
The rest is OK - for now.> 1) issues with Bluetooth - machine could not find other devices and there are communication problems;
What Satellite C870-xxx you have exactly?
From my own experience, some models support BT and some don t so probably your device does support BT or you have done something wrong then that configuration of BT.(> 2) I am very, very disappointed by the quality of the sound. The speakers are very poor. If I had known I wouldn't n buy it! Unfortunately, I have not had a chance to check it out and assumed Toshiba will keep minimum standards in this area.

My own different models of knowledge supports different hardware specifications. You can buy models of laptops with Harman-Kardon speakers that offer the best sound quality. This device seems to support standard speakers.
So it s always a question of value for money and in my opinion it is not too bad. -

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. :(

Satellite L500 - wireless connection is very slow
Hey all,.
I have problems with my toshiba satellite L500 wireless very slow. I restored the computer back to factory settings, reset the router and do not know what to do. The only way that I am able to achieve and increase speed of internet is by connecting the laptop to the router.
There are 3 other laptops in the House which is the same model, this laptop runs very fast. My router is a Thomson TG782T.
Thank you
Hello
First, I would try to update the WLAN driver. Download the latest version on the Toshiba site and then delete the old version. Reboot the laptop and use CCleaner to clean the system. Restart again and now you can install the latest WLAN driver.
I put t know what operating system you have, but on Vista and Windows 7, you must disable the WLAN energy saving function. You can do this in Windows power management if you change power management.
I had a similar problem and after removing the energy saving function, it worked fast and normal as on other laptops. :)

Satellite A60: Sound quality poor microphone when you use the USB phone
I have problems with the microphone/recording quality on my A60 including but not limited to situations when you use a USB phone. Talk to the USB phone produces a lot of static when it is used with the A60, which is not the case when I use another laptop.
The two laptops have the same VOIP software and "simplyphone.Any ideas what could be the problem? Drivers?
Toshiba support suggests to see if a system restore will improve things, but I am reluctant to go there for a questionable result.
Hello
I don t think that the driver update will help you. The operating system uses the simple common Microsoft USB drivers. I think we should get the problem somewhere else.
You can try to disable the power save option in-USB hub-> properties > Device Manager. I noticed that if energy saving is enabled on ports USB some external devices could not work with maximum efficiency.
In addition, you should disconnect other USB devices during the test the USB microphone.
I think that it of not impossible that some external USB devices might have a negative influence on the use of a USB microphone.PS: I found a site interesting on tests of micro USB

Satellite C50-A-19 t - very low display
Hi I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-19 t Windows 8 and recently the display is almost non-existent.
When I start the machine, I see about the Toshiba Logo and that's it – even, it is difficult to see.What I tried:
(1) external Monitor - external monitor works fine (connected via VGA).
(2) I have tried the Fn/F4 key to chang what display, tried a few settings and still nothing on the laptop screen
(3) I have obviously checked the brightness, it's almost max.
(4) I removed the battery and power, left computer laptop for a while, then tried to turn on the back with the battery still out - nothing else.
(5) I googled like crazy and tried to remove the battery & power, press and hold the power button / stop for 60 + seconds, made 5 - 10 times in all, still nothing when I power on
(6) I replaced the screen with another similar toshiba that I know works - it's exactly the same thing.Is there anything else that I'm missing here?
The laptop works like a dream when connected to an external monitor... and I have removed and reloaded all drivers display, reset the CMOS, etc..
I am confused now and it is one of the children with homework, so my ears get sore!
PLS HELP!
> 1) external Monitor - external monitor works fine (connected via VGA)
It is most important information that you have provided in your message.
In case the external monitor is OK, the GPU/motherboard should also be OK.From my point of few display panel (backlight) is defective.
The backlight of the display is not working properly.You said that you have replaced the screen well, compatible display board?

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! -
Satellite A75 sound very quiet?
I have the A75 and it works like a dream. I'm happy with it.
One thing: the sound output is very low, very quiet. Even my MP3 player running on batteries kicking at its best.
It's just so quiet.
Everyone had the same problem.I visited the installation of Panel and hardware control and turned all the dials I know. (I'm a computer support guy, am so used to torubleshooting)
Any comments?

Maybe the stupid recommendation from me, but check please button for the volume control on the right side.

Satellite M300 - Sound driver for Vista 64 says upgrade failed
I just reinstall my M300 with Vista 64 and I have the problem with the audio driver (I have download this Toshiba site).
It says upgrade failed or something.
> I have sounds coming out of the speaker, but the quality is very low
This means that the audio driver has been installed correctly!
To increase the volume, you must go to control panel-> sound and need to check if the volume control is defined at the top level.By the way; This laptop seems to belong to Toshiba US series.
Therefore, you should check the Toshiba USA for drivers and BIOS update:

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
MariusP.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.

The sound quality is poor on the Bluetooth headset while using the Bluetooth dongle
Original title: Bluetooth with apt - x audio problem
Hi, this is my situation.
- Windows 8 installed on the PC.
- Have a Bluetooth Sennheiser MM500 x with apt x helmet
- Have a Sennheiser BTD500 USB dongle to connect headsets to PC.
It is:Sound works, but the sound quality is very poor. Also very low microphone level.For purposes of disposal processes:- Have connected these headphones using headphones - audio jack perfect
- Connected headset to another for TV and PC bluetooth dongle (which uses the headphone) - audio perfect
- Appropriately high sound levels (mean level appropriate, but not obvious)
In "playback devices" I am unable to click on the button set up (it is grayed out). Therefore impossible to then select a stereo sound.I don't think that there is a problem with my headphones or usb dongle. Believe is a matter of windows 8.Help, please! I'm about to throw my PC out the window!I'm the original poster. I tried everything, could not solve the problem. So I sold the helmet and moved my life! Haha. Good luck to all.
