• Crackle sound windows on Satellite P100

  I have a Satellite P100 and keep problems with the sound, I frequently get crackles of sound effects to Windows, and recently the speakers stopped working for a few moments, then came back. When I tried to turn the volume up I could not access the speaker controls as it said that there is no active device.

  Has anyone else had this problem or has a solution. ?

  Found an interesting thread about crackling noise on the P100 and as the user TDC , said that the audio driver should be updated.
  BUT: Before installing the audio driver updated to at least the BIOS version 2.10 or higher must be installed on the laptop.
  Be careful with the update of the BIOS. Choose the good BIOS and the right update procedure

• On Satellite P100-160 speakers crackling

  Hi all

  I have recently come to buy a new P100 - 160 and overall I am impressed bits with it.

  However, there is one thing that is really upset me... and this is the sound quality.

  When I bought the computer laptop one of the points of sale, it was that he had "Harman/Kardon" who are supposed to be really, really good. Now, from 3D / Surround sound point of view, I must say that they seem certainly lives up to what I was told.

  However - in terms of 'volume capacity' speakers seems not to give maximum... and I don't have to have the volume to the point that neighbors can here it is!

  Turn the speakers more than about 1/4 of the way, and the very crazy - especially when he plays speakers/crackle anything with even a slight bit of bass.

  I tried to change the equalizer and the volume in Media Player settings, but that didn't help either.

  If someone has had this problem, or anyone know what can be the solution?

  Thank you
  Kessa

  You re right.
  Certainly, the laptop comes with Harman/kardon speakers and usually these speakers also known as the 'good quality '.
  That's why I studied a bit in this forum for similar issues and found this link to the Toshiba document on crackling noise on Satellite P100.
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB6801JF0000R01.htm

  It seems the BIOS and driver update should be done.
  A tip: you can try to remove the old audio driver files before installing the new.

  Good luck

  He s strange because according to these Toshiba document the problem should be solved:
  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB6801JF0000R01.htm

  The sound card which serves on the Board of Directors is supported by an Intel High Definition Audio

  Maybe it's possible to find another audio driver that supports that s chip

• Satellite P100 loses its next update

  Satellite P100 V3.30 Sound BiOS: Conexant HD Audio v 4.8.0 Windows Vista 32 bit

  Following a Vista Windows Update which contained an update of his Toshiba, all sounds have disappeared from the laptop. I did a system restore to before the update sound, and the sound is back.
  Update details: Conexant - Audio - Conexant high definition Smartaudio HD2. (The current sound details: conexant HD audio v 48.0)

  The sound went twice already, back after a re - install, although I only made the possible link with the update.

  Please advice!

  My advice is: do not touch the well-executed system. I have Satellite P200 and I don't do any driver updated or upgrades. If everything works should well, why I do this?

  Good bye

• Driver Conexant HD Audio - Satellite P100 PSPA3C Win XP problem

  I have a Satellite P100 PSPA3C MA202C.

  I found on the Web from Toshiba site a new Conexant HD Audio 3.44.0.0 driver version for my laptop (Windows XP, 3 GB of RAM)
  and had the bad idea to install it. After installation, the sound is terrible Crackle and interruptions.
  including the sound of Windows boot at startup, when you first open during playback and audio files.
  When a UC program gets started.
  It's never happened before.

  I acknowledge that during installation, I received a message from the system
  warning that this driver is not signed as having managed the "Windows logo test '.

  However, the same situation stands for previous versions of site Web from Toshiba, like 3.21.0.52, who gave the same problems.
  Then I wanted to let Windows choose the right driver, but it turns
  "Microsoft function driver UAA for HD Audio Conexant Waikiki" which provides its own, but has no audio in (microphone).

  So now I'm stuck with the crackling and interruptions of Conexant, or with Waikiki have no microphone.

  It's strange, because the initial configuration worked well. Unfortunately, I do not know how to restore the original configuration,
  It is not written anywhere, that the system cannot understand itself and of the restoration came with the computer dvd
  only allow for a radical total restoration of the status of the day of sale, which is not acceptable.

  What a disappointing experience!

  Can someone help, please?

  Hello!

  S DVD supplied with the computer are called recovery disks and it's the way to return to the factory settings.
  The disc contains the Windows preinstalled with all the drivers and tools of Toshiba.

  I know it's strange, but in my opinion, there is no other way to solve this problem. So back up your data first HARD drive will be completely formatted.

• Satellite P100-240 audio problems

  Hello

  Y at - it software control panel Audio for this model? My friend M100 is a control software provided with the computer that has a wide range of variables to adjust sound its out put.
  On the other hand, nothing for this model except for standard windows volume set Panel. It just seems really strange what HD audio and no advanced to it control system. I tried searching on the web (for the SRS control or other stuff) and found nothing for this model.

  Another problem is that sometimes my audio quality is really bad, you can hear the sound Crackle not even at high volume, internal or external speaker. I tried to restore the couple machine time. Nothing has worked so far.

  my model is Satellite P100 - 240 PSPA3E. Windows MCE

  Please notify

  Concerning

  Laurent

  I guess you have an its installed realtek card. If so, then go to www.realtek.com.tw, download the latest driver for Realtek HD audio and install the driver after removing the sounddrivers of Toshiba.

  After that, you should also have a control panel that is accessible trough the "Control Panel".
  Here, you can set all the settings on your sound card.

• A few questions about his, BIOS and drivers on Satellite P100

  Hello

  Just bought the Satellite P100-188, thought I'd go with a top brand machine, however, on commissioning I am a little concerned about the quality of the speakers who tend to sizzle and distort. If right or wrong I thought that Harman Kardon would deliver the goods. I tried the reset options in the Panel, but being a novice when it comes to search in the "engine room", I'm worried I have settle something important or worse clear settings. Can someone advise.

  NVidia also uncertain whether to update the drivers if early machine bought this week, I notice an update of the driver is available, the driver that is currently installed is version 8.3.2.0.

  Can anyone tell if the BIOS updates are also needed, once again an update 2.10 is shown available but with a WARNING of WTH UPDATE message. This sort of thing is far beyond my understanding of computers, so I would be grateful for anyone offering a perfect beginner tips.

  Hello

  The quality of the sound on the speakers depends on the design of laptops and laptop performance. As far as I know the speaker are a bit smaller than on multimedia laptops.
  If you want to change some of its settings Iwould recommend to go into the control panel and you should find the Manager Realtek HD sound effects. Here it is possible to change an option in the demo audio 3d.

  You also asked for a graphics card driver. You know that driver graphic Toshiba are not similar to the nVidia drivers. In addition the original nVidia drivers are not designed for the use of the laptop but for desktop PC.

  The update of the BIOS is not a simple thing. If you use bad BIOS or update procedure wrong so it is possible that you may damage the motherboard. So if the BIOS update is not necessary, you shouldn't t do.

• Satellite P100-342 - multi-process Core enabled or disabled?

  Hello world

  Just a very quick question: do you have enabled the option "multi-process core" on your BIOS?
  If I set this active on my laptop, the system becomes very slow and I don't know if there is a problem with my laptop or its option for 64-bit laptops.

  My specs:
  Satellite P100-342
  Intel Centrino Duo processor Intel Core 2 Duo T7200

  Thanks in advance!

  Hello

  As far as I know if you select this option, a carrot goes out completely and if the computer is very slow.

  For example if you select this option, in the Task Manager you should only see one CPU core.
  Can you confirm this?

• Satellite P100 - white screen on startup: No. BIOS!

  Hello

  I have a Satellite P100-286 (PSPAGE) I bought last year, and due to an unsuccessful attempt to update of the BIOS under Windows Vista, the laptop has more a BIOS. Is there anyway to Flash without sending the laptop somewhere?

  See you soon,.
  Andreas

  I doubt it. Once a BIOS is damaged, its cant boot or anything like that, so you can't reflash the BIOS. I guess that the motherboard would need replacement.

• Satellite P100-347 - problem with the judgment during the game

  I have a problem with my (pspa6e) Satellite P100-347

  After about 10 minutes of play time with games like battlefield 2, the SIMS2 and so on... my pc stops...
  I knew it was close because of high gpu or cpu temp...

  I felt that my laptop was warm, but after playing for a while its normal...

  So I installed HWmonitor to check my gpu, CPU and disk hard temp...

  That's what I show:

  THRM: 61.C - 141.F

  CPU: core0\1 - two 64.C - 147.F

  GPU: turn 85 stable - 90.C
  This normal use... no games...

  HARD DRIVE: 39.C

  Something must be wrong! GPU temp is too high?
  I tried a fresh install of the OS...

  Thnx for all the help and answers!

  Hmm these times can be a little high.

  Most likely there is dust in the radiator. You can use compressed air to remove it. Or as a miracle solution, blow into the vents dust closes in contrast to air circulation.

• Satellite P100-160 - several PCI bus do not work with a shadow video BIOS

  Hello

  I got my Satellite P100-160 for about five years now and have never had any problems like this before.
  A few weeks ago my system did not (or something like that), so I pressed the power down button to turn it off.
  Then, as he was put on, he seemed to freeze on the loading page and so I held the off button again.

  The present results are when I turn it on, I get a screen telling me several bus PCI etc do not work and he says 'video occult BIOS.
  I then have the option to press F1 to resume or F2 to enter setup.

  In addition, one of my USB slots has completely stopped working and my card slot has also stopped working.
  Can someone help me please? I'm on Windows XP, SP2.

  See you soon,.
  Liam

  Hello

  I think that you need to access the BIOS (press F2 when the laptop starts up) and put its default value.
  Then try to start the Vista again and press F8.
  Then you will get a menu of advanced start it you should choose repair computer.
  Vista supports a clean internal repair option, you should try this and must repair the operating system.

  If this will not help and you still want to not be able to start a view, then a system recovery may be the best option for you

• System recovery media is not delivered with my new Satellite P100

  Hello world.

  Two weeks ago, I bought my first laptop of Toshiba (P100-324). Before, I had many doubts about the facilities of Toshiba. Now I have to say that I am really very pleased with the quality of your product. The laptop itself is great and everything works fine.

  Except a problem: in the box, it there was only one disc: the CD entitled "Express Media Player Recovery CD. When I checked the database online of the Toshiba with my s/n, she showed a Windows recovery DVD in the package list. So I did what you guys recommend to: contacted * all * the FSA in Poland. Surprisingly, the quality of the customer service was not so good. Each of them told me as if there were no real DVD in the box, it MUST be a hidden partition on my HARD drive, and if I want to buy the CD/DVD with the operating system (I have a license/sticker OEM to use: XP MCE) I pay about 20 EUR

  Wow. A price of 20 EUROS for a single value of CD... 5 cents? (the media itself, not the software) In fact, when I was paying a lot of money for my laptop I expect something more in terms of customer service. But anyway, I'm just one customer, probably worth less than nothing to the FSA. So, after this long and boring, prologue here are my questions:

  (1) should there be another DVD in my Inbox that contains the Windows XP MCE OEM installation?

  (2) otherwise - y at - it technique uber-elite that Toshiba is using to hide the Windows recovery partition me? There are only 2 partitions on my HARD drive: one with 250 MB (which is IMHO far too small to contain all the windows + drivers) and one that fills the disk completely (~ 200 GB). Is there some magic bios that would display the partitions one another?

  (3) otherwise - is it possible to "produce" somehow a windows recovery DVD? I mean, on my c: drive is CMPNENTS, I386, directories VALUEADD I somehow recognizes Windows installation CD. However, when I try to use nLite on the root of c: (or the i386 directory), it indicates that not all the installation files are present.

  (4) and finally - how do I reinstall my Windows XP MCE?

  I really, really need to have an option to reinstall my operating system. It would be a shame for Toshiba that I had to buy another copy of Windows XP Home edition oem (and scratch the key oem sticker).

  Hello Tomasz

  First of all, I am very pleased to hear that you are satisfied with your new P100. Right now I use the older Satellite M70 with ATI graphics card, but I think buying Satellite P100. Satellite P100 has long been on the market and I hope that very soon, Toshiba P100 successor. Maybe something like P200 and I think I'll wait a few months see what happens in the future.

  Back to your question:
  As far as I know recovery DVD should be bundled with the new and original packaged product. On your laptop, it is also preinstalled Express Media Player. It's a small application based on Linux that allows you to watch DVD movies or listen to audio CDs without booting the operating system. It is preinstalled on small partition unallocated. Express Media Player using supplied restore CD you can install it anywhere, anytime. As I said recovery DVD should be supplied with your laptop. But in this whole one thing confused me: autour Googling, I discovered that the Satellite P100-324 is available in Germany and Austria. Because of this I really don't know how you could buy this product in Poland? Have you branch new or perhaps as some showroom products.
  Please give some info about it.

  Maybe is my view too long but I wanted to just tell you one thing. May be pretty important thing: many users mix of Toshiba service and authorized partners. Each authorized service partner is not directly Toshiba. All these partners are independent companies that have contracts with Toshiba (and very often with other laptop manufacturers) and they repair laptops. Please note that they operate as independent businesses and create prices on its own (free market). If there is a communication problem you cannot say: bad or bad service from Toshiba. Yes, in a certain way, they represent Toshiba but if personal service is not qualified or hostile he really has nothing to do with Toshiba himself.

  They are also right on self-created recovery DVD Toshiba a few notebook models are supplied without the recovery DVDs and the user must create one. But it is absolutely not the case with your P100. For most computers business notebooks have this option as Portege and Tecra.

  Dear Tomasz at the end it is not easy to say what you need to do. If you have a portable German perhaps it is best to order the DVD of recovery on your tongue. He's still irritated when you have additional costs but 20 euros is not a lot of money. Fill in your new toy and enjoy your life.

  Bye and good luck!

• GPU fans to work on Satellite P100-429 (Nvidia) on Linux

  Hello

  I have a P100-429... and managed to get the GPU fan to work. As most of you probably know, we edit the DSDT in order to get its work under Linux (and these laptops). There, another fix that also allows the GPU fan work. Mine seems to be on low-speed all the time and the Nvidia display configuration application now the temp to be less than 50 c most of the time, so before he went up to 75 or more.

  In any case, I've posted my DSDT updated at: http://acpi.sourceforge.net/dsdt/edit.php?manufacturer=Toshiba&name=Satellite+P100-429

  NB I use also of the Bios version 3.30.

  I found the solution on the French site, I had to interpret slightly.
