Satellite P500/020 is too quiet

I just bought a new Satellite P500 and at full volume, is not yet strong enough to watch a movie, unless I have use headphones.

The audio output is also very poor, I have some external speakers that my old laptop will distort easily, this one wont.
I tried to adjust all volume controls and play with dolby but it just seems to have a very low output.

Could this be related to win7? I had to leave my old laptop when I want to listen to. Any suggestions?

Hello

I had a similar problem in Vista and Win7 and I need to check the sound settings and make sure that noise was going to the speakers rather than another device.

Right click of its (speaker) icon on the toolbar and check that the playback device is correctly set to 'speakers' - Mine also says Conexant Pebble high definition Smart Audio Defalt Device.

There is also a Volume Mixer here option to balance the sounds throughout the system for dfferent applications. Here I have also noticed that when you start a player or the browser you get a new option for its control so double check it when you start your movie.

Good luck
Rob

    Hi all.

    My first post that I just bought my first race of Toshiba P500-020 Windows 7 and already I have a problem where the Windvd bd has locked to region A and I need region B.
    I didn't know that Blueray discs have a diferent to normal dvd region, so I'm learning I'll. Fingers crossed some one may be able to advise if I can reset the region and thank you
    in advance for any advice.

    Vkhamer.

    Hello

    I have no experience with Blueray discs, but as far as I know you can change the region code in s for the CD/DVD drive properties.

    Right click on the drive, properties-> hardware-> your Blueray drive-> properties-> DVD region

    Usually, you can change the settings it but the choice is limited. You can change it 4 or 5 times only.

  • Satellite P500 - noise varies and is too quiet

    Hello again,

    I had some problems with speakers this time.
    Since there are Harmon/Kardon speakers installed in the computer, the sound itself is fine.
    However, it is not.

    Sound is too quiet, even if I listen to music on the max volume.
    As well, I noticed the sound fluctuates all the time and there are crackling noises.
    All audio drivers are up to date, but they did not help.

    Could you please tell, what's the problem? Thank you!

    Perhaps what is its volume in the drive that you use low upgraded? Select this check box.

    Friend of mine has bought Satellite P500 last month. We have installed OS, created recovery discs and tested sound using Skype, Winamp, Windows Media Player and watch blu - ray discs.
    With the sound, everything seems to be OK.

  • Satellite P100-219 - sound is too quiet

    Got one with Conexant chip.
    There is only one pilot there and probably defective. I can not access the property page, just the generic Volume control. Everything to the top and still too quiet sound, especially on headphones - barely audible.

    In addition, the sound is in a bad mood and a jerk a little. It is understood for example when clicking on the volume slide a few times, it comes from the coughes and cracks.

    All tried, even reinstall. Any ideas?
    [email protected]

    In addition, you can consult the page of the Toshiba driver for the audio driver update.
    But I agree with the user above. The crackling could occur due to various processes that run in the background of the OS.

  • Installation of Windows 7 64 bit on a Satellite P500

    I bought the above system in August last year with 32-bit Windows 7 installed. I understand that it is not possible to upgrade and to a complete new installation. Is it necessary to format the hard drive first? Have backed up all my data (there was not a lot), but wonder if there is something else I need to know before you continue. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Hello

    I m a bit confused because I have too many Satellite P500 and, as far as I know, this laptop model comes with 64-bit only.
    Can you please tell us what P500 you exactly (P500-xxx)?

    You are right; before installation Win7 HDD needs to be formatted. If you have installed the OS in the past, I guess you know how it works.
    Associated with Toshiba here are two things you should know before starting with the installation of Win7 64 bit:
    # Create recovery with the original Toshiba image DVDs. This disk, you can use if you want to have the factory settings once again.
    # Drivers, tools and utilities must be installed in the proper installation order. If you ned some hep with it let us know.

  • Satellite P500-190 stuck in a loop

    Well, I try to summarize what has happened so far.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite P500-190 has started acting as each task is too big for him, constantly showing disk hard loading, programs did not respond for a while... then I ran the reconverty tool, reset the c drive, the problem still there.

    I ran all the error detection of characteristics of pc, no hardware problems or software detected. So I installed malwarebytes anti-malware and ran a scan, it finds errors, but before I could act, the program froze again no response. Press ctrl alt del, black screen, no response... reboot. Now my dosent pc even trying to start windows, only error detection program and each restart goes like this, even after going through the program as it is said.
    I tried to get to the other menus of repair, but it says I must be logged in to do this.

    Any ideas how to continue?

    Hi bug

    Please reinstall the recovery image and boot OS without having to install additional stuff.
    Do not connect to the internet and check the functionality. Open some pre-installed apps and see if they will not work correctly.

    Play around with these factory settings and let us know if there is a problem.

  • Satellite P500 turns off most since re install Windows7

    Hi all

    Toshiba satellite laptop
    series: P
    Model: P500
    Model number: PSPGSE
    Operating system: Windows 7 Home Premium edition

    Following a final crash of the original hard disk, so I changed the drive and performed a complete re-installation of windows7 (an original touch and put my original).
    Subsequently I have re installed the driver via the toshiba site (most importantly, so no software supplied automatically with PC purchase), and that all are present according to device (of interrogation or other point of warning) Manager.
    More through the touslesdriver.com site, I added their scanning software small told the pilot to missing day or not (so basic but all seems normal...)

    Windows of decanting finished and I started to update the drivers, windows out never normally, menu, start, stop, closing the session and after that bogus on "stoppage of work" until the "Blue Shield (about 10 minutes later, a solution or the button works / stop)."
    Single point, drivers arrive to their windows or windows installation to restart, but the problem always comes back.

    Then in normal mode, no messages or any other information that makes me say that there is a problem, but when close windows here is barattes in a vacuum no solution other than the button walk / stop (I also tried ms config: stop all, same effect).

    Now in safe mode gives the change!

    Beginning and end of windows that is no problem!

    Still in safe mode, the device section driver, then display devices, 'plug and play' shocks only information is that an exclamation mark on 'Security processor loader driver' is not visible outside the safe mode.

    No possibility of anything and much too much different information on the net which could help me solve this exclamation point and certainly my problem?

    Hello

    I own P500 too, but I use it with the new HARD drive but with the original recovery image (Win7 64 bit) I've had with her. Why have problems such as you, when I can have perfectly installed OS. That do after the installation of recovery image's own upward and the optimization of the OS. I have delete all things I don't no need and turn off all unnecessary processes that can slow down my system.
    I m really wondering why you do the same and use OS without a few installation issues.

    In any case, after reading your ad I didn t understand what your problem is, but what I can say is follow:
    Satellite P500 is fully supported for Win7 so you do not have some third-party software of the part for the detection of drivers and similar useless diagnosis. All the necessary drivers, tools and utilities, you can find and download from http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp

    On this virtual path, I can't tell what your problem and how to fix it. I know, it's that the whole available drivers on the Toshiba download page are tested and are part of the original image recovery.
    I think either you should reinstall the OS using original recovery image and remove all the stuff, you need or reinstall Win7 clean and begins to install the drivers, tols and utilities Toshiba download page only.

    Order of installation:
    Windows 7
    Chipset SW installation utility

  • Satellite P500 - 01 G-install the Toshiba software after clean install

    Hi all

    I have a Toshiba P500 - 01 G (http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/products/computers/satellite/p500/pspgsa-01g003/overview) running the grouped Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. I bought an upgrade to Windows 7 Ultimate, but can not use it, he just tells me to use Windows Anytime Upgrade.

    However, I can use it for a clean install and I intend, but I don't know what to do on the Toshiba Software (http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/satellite/p500/pspgsa-01g003/download?os=25).
    I read on another thread that the software must be installed in a certain order and frankly I have no idea! I don't want to break something! I'm not to ask for the list accurate for each of them (except if you have time) but just a general guide as to what I should install in the order.

    Also, I guess that my recovery partition is erased in the process and I can't get it back. Is this true?

    Thank you very much. I really appreciate it,
    Abraham.

    Hello, Abraham

    I m the Satellite P500 owner too and it's really great machine, isn t it? I like it. My Toshiba best ever.
    My machine is preinstalled original Toshiba recovery image and it works without any problems so I put t want to change anything.

    Back to your question. I assume that you have a few reasons why you want to use the Ultimate version then you should try to clean OS install. Before you anything create recovery DVDs. Make two copies.
    After that make what you can do with your laptop all you used to because if you want to have the factory settings, again you can use created the recovery disc and install original recovery image.
    After recovery of registered OS image will help and you will not be able to start the installation of HARD drive recovery then please create restore DVD.

    Installing Win7? I have the European model, and I will send exact installation order list. There may be small differences compared to the model of the AU, but the principle remains the same.

    Hello

    I P500 too, but so far I didn't drive HARD cover.
    Anyway, as far as I know, you can use 9.5 and 12.5 mm drives.

    According to the specifications of the laptop, now when notebook was suggested, max capacity of the HARD drive was listed as 500 GB, but I think it shouldn't be a problem with hard drives which have higher capacity.

    So if all goes well works please send some feedback. This is very useful information for me and other owners of P500.

    Hi Sammole,

    Sinus a few days that I have too many Satellite P500. I must say that it s a very big book, I love it.

In addition it s equipped of the fast processor and a graphics card, ideal for playing games.

    All my games work well so I put t know what has happened to you. Make sure that the eco mode isn't active, this will slow down the performance.
    Also make sure that the most recent display Toshiba driver is installed and the latest version of Microsoft DirectX.

    Hello

    Counter question: why you want to use any other display drivers? Are not satisfied with the drivers of Toshiba or can you notice problems in Windows?

    Theoretically, it is possible to use the nVidia drivers directly but don t forget that they are not pre-tested on your laptop. Your graphics card could be overheating and so you lose the warranty.

    Satellite P500 is fairly new, so I guess that Toshiba updates the display driver in next time too. Take a look at the page from time to time. ;)

  • Satellite P500 - periods of 'Busy' or 'not responding '.

    My Satellite P500 seems to have too many spells when a specific program appears as "Not responding", or where the cursor shows a form of "busy". This is particularly true for Internet Explorer.

    Others noticed this, is it just me? For no particular reason, I wonder if there are conflicts known between Win7 64 bit and Norton 360 or if ReadyBoost is really useful.

    Any comments?

    Thank you

    Hello David

    In front of me, I have Satellite P500 preinstalled with Win7 64 bit (original Toshiba recovery image).

    I use just a few days, but I did notice a few strange problems. I do not use Norton and cannot confirm if there are a few conflicts but all things I installed work properly.

  • How can satellite P500-024 - I do a new partition with full disk space?

    Hello

    I just bought the Satellite P500-024 and it came with 640 GB HARD drive.

    I just found when clicking on * my computer * which is the HARD drive is cut to the drive C: and D: drive. How can I add the D drive half of the HARD drive on the C: drive of priority so there because I then a full accese 640GO HDD in a chase without cutting 50-50?

    The reason why I ask this is because I noticed when I turn on the laptop it takes ages and maybe a bit slower due to the fact that it is half of the hard drive on drive C. So I want to know how it is easy to add them together into one so that I can get fast and pure to my new Satellite P500-024 performance.

    Thank you.

    Hi tagvic!

    First of all I must say that the two partitions have nothing to do with the slow start procedure on your laptop. Your laptop will be no faster if I you have only one partition, made it s! In addition, the second partition is required for Toshiba HDD recovery option. You know about it?

    HARD drive recovery option is really nice. You can restore factory in a few minutes. For it pour l' utiliser use go from the advanced boot menu, and then select Repair my computer. Then, you can select this option and follow the instructions on the screen. The first partition will be deleted, and after that it will have installed an image of factory settings. This means that you return to the same state that you started the laptop, the first time. The operating system preinstalled with already all the drivers and tools are installed.

    In my view, there is another reason for the slow start to the top. You should try to remove Toshiba Tempro. On my computer it causes a slow start too, and after removing the laptop started much faster.
    I can also recommend you to clean the system using CCleaner and defragment the HARD drive. Removal of startup programs folder that you don't need and try another program like AntiVir AntiVirus.

    I hope I could help a bit.
