Satellite P20 - system sounds work but nothing else

I have a P20-552 (PSP26E-025E9-S4) which is a little more than two years. This morning he suddenly decided to not play some sounds. System sounds play as usual as do all soundtracks from my video editing software (Adobe Premiere Elements).

However, when you try to open a file AVI, WAV or MP3 using WMP, I get the following message:

Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with the audio device. It might not be a sound device installed on your computer, it can be used by another program, or it might not work properly

iTunes gives you a similar error message.

RealPlayer produces more sound during radio playback. It gives all the possible indications of play station involved, but no actual sound is produced. It was working fine last night.

The only thing I remember past which was for the first time in four days, when I turned the machine last night the Windows automatic update did NOT install something. For the last four days, he apparently had five updates to perform each time and I, of course, always left the machine in order to perform updates and turns off.

In Control Panel, I just went in sounds and Audio devices and on the Volume tab, he says no. Audio Device. Under the tab Audio everything is grey I ve a feeling that this is not normal

In Device Manager there is no indication of any conflicts etc.

Can someone help me, please?

I had a similar situation after voice chat through MSN messenger. Remove the sound card in Device Manager, reboot the device and check if it works again. If so, is probably a responsible application of this.

Which one? Find only.

  • Satellite A300 - system still works, but the screen is blank

    Hello

    I was downloading an update of tempro toshiba (synco or something in that sense) for my laptop Satellite A300 and the frozen screen. I pressed the power button for 5-10 seconds until it is turned off. When I turned it the system seemed to work but the screen is completely black.

    I tried to remove the battery, and fn + F5 but the screen still won't turn on.

    Any help or advice would be appreciated.

    Rob.

    Hello

    It happened because of the updated BIOS, or during the common software update?
    In case it was an update of the BIOS I recommend contact the ASP in your country, because it seems that the ROM module must be flashed again.

    If it happened during a common software update, so I advise to remove the battery and the AC adapter and wait an hour.
    Then reconnect the two parts and check to see if you could power the laptop properly!

    Check it out!

  • nslookup works but nothing else has DNS on standalone PC Win7.

    I can connect to cables and wireless networks, the computer gets an IP address and the gateway and DNS from DHCP server very well and I can connect to things via ip but nothing can resolve DNS nslookup, which seems to work perfectly except. Network and sharing Center shows as 'connected' and 'no internet access. I tried many things, and now, I'm stumped. The problems began when a router has failed recently, several other machines come online when the defective router was replaced, but it never did.

    Some of the things I've tried...

    uninstalled anything that could possibly mess with networking: McAfee, Hamachi, Hello etc.
    has run the McAfee removal tool
    starts in safe mode
    tried multiple profiles
    turned off the windows firewall
    Unchecked
    the DNS 8.8.8.8 manually for each card value
    Set an IP address for google.com manually in the hosts file: ping will not always solve this
    disabled the dnscache service: makes no difference then re-not active it
    netsh int ip reset resetlog.txt: not a no effect and resetlog.txt is never created
    netsh winsock reset
    sfc/scannow: not found corruption
    unchecked ipv6 for all network adapters in the system
    restarted, like, a million times

    CPP, DHCP, DNS Client that all seem to be running.

    Hardware tests very well, no DNS problems with interface either when running a linux boot disk, so there must be software.

    There is nothing in the logs has not already was a problem for several months or is not directly attributable to the lack of connectivity, this problem of network is new from 3 or 4 days. Significant error entries only are, annoyingly, for system restore and VSS which means that the system did not the restore points for several months, and even more annoyingly, fails to restore those what already with a "catastrophic error 0x8000ffff". Embarrassing if it isn't, there was obviously a problem for months without affecting the networking.

    Interestingly under "Access Type:" network and sharing Center, I get "No Internet access", but when I open a browser and go to google via an IP (173.194.37.136) that changes quickly to 'Internet' although I still cannot ping google.

    Other the only thing I found which looks not right is that ipconfig/registerdns does appear the error: "DNS record failed: the RPC server is unavailable" which seems strange as CPP indicates its execution in services.msc and everything seems to be OK. There are a few pages on the web that mention this error but they seem to everyone apply to servers and it is a dell laptop vanilla Win7HP64 running.

    Things that I have not tried...

    relocation of hardware drivers: I tell myself that if it affects Intel Realtek LAN WiFi AND it may not be the drivers for those

    I'm now ideas.

  • Satellite Pro A120 - sound works but function button and volume button are not

    Hello

    Although the sound on my laptop works well, I can no longer on / turn off or adjust the volume by using the function keys or the sound button/wheel (before the laptop).

    I think it can occur after you uninstall a boot program (controls when everything starts during startup).

    Any ideas how I can get it working again?

    Hello

    Why you n t try to adjust the operating system in the early time before you uninstalled the application?
    I think this might be the best way to get this rerun

    Otherwise, try to reinstall the Toshiba 3.23.1704.U for Win XP controls

  • Satellite A100 does not power up - LED orange flashing but nothing else

    My Satellite A100 laptop fell on the couch and now wont power up,

    I get a flashing orange LED but nothing else.
    This only happens with the AC adapter is plugged and not with the battery.

    What can I do to solve this problem and what should I watch?

    Hello

    Try to remove the battery and unplug the AC adapter.
    Wait a while (> 2 hours) and then reconnect the two parts.
    If the laptop still not, will fuel even using a good power adapter and the battery in good condition, the problem could be related to the problem RAM or the motherboard.

    You should also try to delete one (or two modules if you have some spare parts) module of RAM and should try to turn on the laptop.

    Good luck

  • Satellite P20 doesn't work anymore - clear CMOS?

    Hi all

    My laptop Satellite P20 no longer works, the system switches, but nothing happens, nothing on the screen, just the fans blowing air.

    I would like to clear CMOS, but I don't know which bridge to shorten on the motherboard.

    I also saw this: [http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB4B009N0006R01.htm | http://support.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB4B009N0006R01.htm]
    I'm afraid that my son has tried to add a password for me not to start the laptop and maybe he aded "©" letter which is especially common in french. He said that he did not do anything... but I don't really trust him when he says that hahahah...

    Thank you for your help

    The document above describes the problem with Equium A60, Satellite A60 and Tecra S1 units and not the Satellite P20.
    So I think we can exclude your laptop BIOS password problem.

    According to your message, the problem looks like a malfunction of the motherboard
    > I would like to clear CMOS
    I put t knows anything about your experience of mobile but it seems you would mix technology PC desk with mobile technology. The layout of the motherboard for the laptop is just different and to be honest I don't think that if a clearing CMOS sensor would solve this problem

    In my opinion you have only one option; the authorized service provider should be contacted to clarify what s bad! If the motherboard is dead then you can solve this problem with the replacement of the Board of Directors and this could be a costly affair

    I've had my 6500 during a few years now and very happy with it until today.  The printer in the market and then began to go through the features of wireless setup since I had to replace my router.  During the installation process of the wireless printer, the screen on the printer just froze.  No BUTTON does not at all, not even the power button.  I unplugged the printer and plugged it back in and the lights and the printer turns on but nothing else responds, not even the power button.  I tried everything I do not know and can not get the printer to answer anything at all.  Are there any other suggestions out there?

    Thanks in advance!

    Hi all

    A small question. Received a Satalite Pro. The power turns on but nothing else.
    I tried the HARD drive in my m200 Portege and its XP Pro running. The Satalite Pro has 1 > 512 MB ram stick inside.

    The overall condition is good and I'm tempted to spend a few shillings to try to bring back to life or we are talking about a major surgery.
    My knowledge is fundamental will have to spend to get fixed.

    Would like to receive your ideas / suggestions.

    Thank you

    Well, in my opinion you should first check the RAM modules.
    The faulty RAM memory would prevent the laptop to boot.
    The RAM modules are the first parts that need to be checked.

    But if the modules are ok, then part of the material such as the CPU or the motherboard could be defective.
    In this case, the replacement of parts can be expensive

    Sometimes to restart Explorer, you can get out of this situation.  When you arrive at the blank screen, press Ctrl - Alt - Delete if all goes well a window will appear that allows you to choose 'Task Manager '.  Click on the Task Manager and when it starts, click on the "Processes" tab and then select the file-> new task.  When that window comes to the top, enter "Explorer" in the box, and then click 'OK '.  I hope that your screen will then fill.
