Satellite P500 - sound is going strong-soft-strong

I specifically bought the Toshiba Satellite (my fourth in a row) to enjoy beautiful harmon/kardon speakers.

I find that the volume is going strong and gentle all the time, specifically going softer when it seems to be something in the music (or some Im listen) that would normally go harder. It's almost as if she is trying to "normalize" the volume. Everything that happens, it sounds terrible.

I did a quick search on you forums and I don't see a solution. I've seen on the internets top (just google Toshiba loud soft' and it appears) someone else with the same problem.

I have messed around with the sound for hours at a time and had absolutely no chance.

I'm at my wits end. Can some help me please?

Have you discovered "Smart Audio" in your control panel? -J' I no nothing on what he does but he has a lot of icons and cursors to play with!
I also know that my "Windows Update" nvidia high definition audio driver-09 August sitting there as an optional update

  • Satellite P500 - Solution how to operate sound on XP 32-bit and 64-bit

    Hi all..
    Now, I write here how I did something that seems impossible...
    I mean sound running on a computer satellite phone / qosmio p500/505 300/500
    and other models with Conexant sound card high definition on x 32 / x 64 Windows XP sp2/sp3...
    I know that many of us have a problem to run any noise at all,
    the fundamental problem is that Windows XP doesn't have a built-in driver files
    are responsible for the recognition of the last sound based on the high-definition audio cards.
    Latest patch for kb888111 system published by Microsoft to address this issue was published in 2005
    and does not appear in the files that recognize the latest Conexant sound card.

    next problem is the correct driver. Toshiba has not released XP drivers for the card its Conexant
    for computer laptop qosmio / satellite 500 / 505, so you should find and use the drivers supplied by
    the manufacturers of other computer models. most of the pilots and the best have to download Lenovo and Dell.
    Personally I used to run the sound in my P500 drivers downloaded from the web site of Dell
    more important in the downloaded drivers, then to install is to edit. INF file that is located in the folder
    with the drivers. This file is a textfile and then edit it in Notepad.
    Edition. INF file is trolling in the path to the identification of our equipment.
    Hardware ID can be found for example in the Device Manager tab in the detroit, video controllers and games.
    for most new toshiba laptop hardware id is:

    %HdAudioFunctionDriver.Pebble5071.DeviceDesc% = HdAudModel, HDAUDIO\FUNC_01 & VEN_14F1 & DEV_5069 & SUBSY S_1179FFD4

    but it can vary so please check it on your computer!

    Those who have managed to run the sound will certainly have to deal with another problem,
    After restarting the computer no sound and the computer loses the drivers and settings
    and next to the watch does not appear on the "speaker" icon. This problem is also resolved by me below.

    Now to work...
    I assume that you have already installed XP x 32 or x 64, but not yet executed a sound.
    to run the sound, install the chipset driver, then the kb888111 patch.
    If all goes well,
    the devices of the system device manager tab you should found 2 entries "Microsoft UAA Bus Driver for High Definition Audio".
    where are these 2 entries, click on each of them, right click and select "update driver".
    then you select "install from a list or specific location" and point to the location where you saved the
    files that you have downloaded from the link n ° 1
    Don't FORGET not to confuse it and do not try to update the x 32 system using file system designed for X 64 and vice versa
    When we updated the system should automatically detect the sound card in Device Manager should be of about
    5 points to mark yellow, four belong to Nvidia and one for the Conexant High Definition Audio HD audio.
    Now, install the driver from the Nvidia graphics card that contains the audio driver. After the restart of the installation
    After the computer restarts. Enter the Device Manager and it is more 5 yellow question mark points,
    is the only one this one belongs to map its Conexant, make right click on this one in yellow and
    Select 'update driver' and select 'install from a list or specific location ".
    and point to the location where you saved the files that you downloaded from the link n ° 2
    pointing hand and force the installation of driver. After installation, you enjoy the sounds.
    Don't FORGET not to confuse it and do not try to update the x 32 system using file system designed for X 64 and vice versa

    link n ° 2, includes the drivers that I have edited and I use myself
    in my Toshiba Satellite P500 - 1 CG. What are the drivers for XP x 32 and x 64 sp2/sp3

  • 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

    Hello

    The forum already contains these discussions where notebooks will freeze after 5 or 10 minutes of play. Have you read them?

    Now it s not easy to say what causes this problem but first of all you need to install the latest driver of Toshiba display. Don t use non-Toshiba drivers, as they can cause the overheating!

    Also make sure that you use the latest version of the BIOS and it s useful to clean the laptop time using a jet of compressed air.

  • Satellite A500 - sound distortion

    Hello!
    I bought a Satellite A500 - 17 X a week ago, and until now it works almost perfect because I have a little problem.
    When I listen to music or play a game sometimes I hear the sound with a sort of distortion.
    For example when Im listening to music and do other things on my laptop sometimes the song is with distortion
    but only for a short period like 1-2 seconds.
    It happens also when I turn on my PC because I wrote my password there a bit of distortion on the 'Windows Login sound' If you know what I mean.
    I don't know what could be the problem but I read something in this forum where some people said it's a conflict of driver nvidia or something.

    And another thing, I want to ask is why my speakers are not as strong as I thought they would be, because before buying it, I saw some videos on youtube where the sound is louder than my laptop, and sometimes I think that when I play a song that the beginning of the song is strong and then after a few seconds the sound is less strong.

    I hope you understood my questions because my English is not very good.
    Any help would be appreciated :D

  • Satellite P500-1DZ - need new fan coling

    Hi all.

    I bought satellite P500-1DZ - Model - Toshiba PSPGSE in July of last year. The first 2 months were great. Since then, my fan made stronger and stronger noises. It's to the point now where just create a Web site on wix, or using any piece of software that uses the power of remote processing, the computer begins to slow down. It's like im working on a pc from the stone age. To make things worse, I bought the product in England and now live in Poland.

    I don't think I can use my warranty, simply because I can't afford to be without my computer for 2 months, while he was expelled for repair. So I opted to buy a new fan and get this replaced myself. However... There is no information anywhere regarding
    (a) what fan (s), I need to buy.
    (b) where to buy them.

    Toshiba... could you please write me to my e-mail and explain a) your return policy for fixing through the manufacturer's warranty for people who have moved to a new country. and (b) tell me where I can buy replacement fan (s) and I would like to address this issue through your warranty or my own merit.

    I want my computer ultra-fast return :(

    Hey,.

    > I bought the product in England and now live in Poland.
    This should t be a problem because you bought a European model for laptop in Europe and now you are still living in Europe. This would mean that you can contact the local authorized maintainer in Poland and seek redress. I m that guys can fix your laptop because an ASP can control all parts of Toshiba.

    Of course, you can try to fix this problem yourself but you need to know what you're doing because laptop disassembly is delicate and many parts must be removed.
    If you want to continue to do, get also in touch with an authorized service provider because they can order spares from Toshiba.

    Here is a list of the aspic:

  • Satellite P500-01R volume fluctuations

    Hello

    I bought the laptop Satellite P500-01R in Aou09. Portable volume on speakers keep in fluctuating (sound quality is good, but volume goes up and down constantly). I tried music on hard drive, CD/DVD and online with the same results. I use Windows Vists 64-bit. When I listen to the same sound on the headphones, it's perfect. All the world is facing this problem and found the solution? Toshiba technical support has no ready solution for this.

    Hello

    The P500 seems to be a new series on the market I didn't find even the drivers on the Toshiba page for this series
    Maybe you need an audio driver update or maybe that it s just a matter of adjustments as suggested by Akuma
    If you have a Realtek audio chip, then you could try a driver Realtek page directly.

    But playing with the sound settings that you might find in Control Panel.

  • 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.

  • Re: Editing on Satellite P500-12F .mts files

    Hi, I have a question about the change. MTS files:

    My laptop is a Toshiba Satellite P500-12F / Core 2 Duo P8700 2.53GHz / RAM: 4 GB HD: 500 GB / BD - RE DL / 18.4 "/ Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit /"

    And I use Corel video studio pro X 3 to edit my SD videos and I was very happy with it until I tried to use the software to edit HD videos very short 2-4 minutes long that I got from a friend to test it before buying my HD camcorder.

    These videos are played on the laptop without problem using WMP or video studio pro x 3 in the preview window, the problem starts when I add another track of overlay to make modifications or any title or effects on the overlay track as I used to do with SD videos.

    If I do any sort of editing and try to see the changes in the preview window, the image moves very slowly, vibrates and the sound is broken, it seems that I'm editing a 24 hours of work not 2-4 minutes. clips.

    So I do not understand where is the lie of the problem, what is the spec of the laptop? What codecs do I need to install? Or the settings that I need to do?

    bye the way, if I decide to save the changes I made for the video it is so annoying to check during the preview/editing process, the final file plays great without problems and in HD quality.

    I wonder if someone can help me.

    Hello

    I noticed the same thing on my Satellite P500, but I must say it s not a problem, it of quite normal. The computer will restart several times (10 times or more) to complete the installation.

    You know that a lot of drivers/tools will be installed and some restart is required to configure everything properly.

    So don t interrupt the installation of recovery, just wait a little longer and a coffee. Everything is done automatically and your laptop is reinstalled with the factory settings. :)
