Satellite Pro A40: Cannot read music - looking for an audio controller

Hello

I have a satellite pro A40, my DVD rom drive no longer works and I get a message on the search for material for a multimedia audio controller!

Cannot play music or anything more.

Can I download these drivers safely?
Don't want cluttering up computer with random internet downloads.

If anyone can help me I would be eternally grateful

Hi satproa40,

You can download all the drivers for your satellite safely of: [http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]

the "multimedia audio controller" means that the audio driver,
If already installed it can help remove this item in Device Manager and let it reinstall System.

same procedure with the dvd - rom, if this wont work try swapping the drive...

  • Satellite Pro A40 - cannot connect WIFI tstablish

    Hi guys

    I have a Satellite Pro Model: PSA45E - 0184H - EN

    Problem is I can not establish a wireless connection, the laptop can not be set automatically detect wireless networks?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Hi robs1971,

    Is your wireless network card equipped laptop? I ask this question because some Satellite Pro A40 models did not have WLAN features so I would be important to know if you have WLAN or not.

    Also check device manager if the wireless network card is installed correctly. Make sure that this latest WLAN driver is installed, and check the Toshiba WLAN Portal:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/WLAN/

    If WLAN network is within reach and SSID is not hidden the computer will automatically recognize. Then you need to enter the encryption key and that s all! :)

    Hi karl1966,

    Have you checked if the CD/DVD drive is recognized correctly in the BIOS?

    Maybe your drive is noisy and you should try another. I put t disc you used but try with Toshiba and Microsoft Windows disk recovery disk.

    Hello akibono

    I imagine that you have installed Windows XP Home clean on your laptop and now you want to install all the drivers, tools and utilities. Am I right about that?

    In any case, after the installation of Windows XP Home edition you install all the drivers, tools and utilities in the order of the specific facilities. After doing this, everything should be OK and every hardware component will be correctly configured.
    Please install all the stuff as follows:
    WINDOWS XP HOME EDITION
    Driver Chipset
    Display driver
    Audio driver
    Driver modem
    Storage Manager
    LAN driver
    Touchpad driver
    WLAN driver
    Toshiba Assist
    Flash Media driver
    Driver webcam
    Hardware configuration
    Controls
    And so on

    I hope that everything will be OK.

    Your model may have the Realtek AC97 audio chip on board.

    I don't see the drivers for the audio optional Soundblaster on your PC support page.

    See if this driver works... Accept the agreement.  Download and install the item 6th on the list (98Gold/98se/Me/2000/XP/2003(32/64 bits) for driver only Windows.) For Windows 98 SE, DirectX (R) 8 is required to enable advanced features. (Executable file)).

  • Satellite Pro A40 - sound skips when loading programs

    PC: Toshibe Satellite Pro A40
    Sound card drivers: Soundmax integrated digital audio

    Hello

    When I bought my Toshiba Satellite Pro A40 my audio is not affected by loading programs and any other activities that could slow down my computer.

    I had to resinstall windows a few months back when my HD crashed.

    I reloaded all my drivers etc. and installed itunes.

    When I play music or any audio I listen to jump seriously when loading programs or when processes are performed on my computer.

    This used to be the case, I tried to change my settings from quicktime to run in safe mode, I even now deleted quicktime and itunes that I thought it was the source of the problems.

    Nothing worked, my sound is still seriously affected when my processor is busy

    I uninstalled, reinstalled my sound card drivers, but nothing has worked...

    I would really appreciate it if you have all the settings I could change to stop this problem.

    My voice through my microphone breaks a lot, so the people at the other end of a VOIP call can barely hear me... it's driving me crazy!

  • You are looking for an internal DVD drive for a Satellite Pro A40

    Hello

    I'm looking for an internal DVD burner for a model Satellite Pro A40 2.88 Celeron with a currently installed CD-RW/DVD-Rom. My mother is the owner of this laptop and I want to upgrade the drive for her.

    Does anyone here know of any number of model of the DVD-RW/CD-RW/DVD-Rom that is compatible with this model.

    I want the drive to function as a DVD-Rom/CD-RW also because I do not want to lose these features. Swap the bezel above if necessary isn't a problem for me.

    Thank you

    Hello
    For this particular model, I could not find another A40 Pro which has a DVD - RW, only DVD ROM. I also suggest to buy an external DVD - RW writer because an internal hard drive will cost much more. Probably triple what external there. External, you can find for about 50 but internal will cost at least about 90 more taxes. I'm sure it is internal that correspond to this machine, but at the moment I don't have the time to research each compatible model search of the car, it's why I suggest an external drive. I hope this helps.

  • Satellite Pro A40: CD-RW/DVD drive cannot read DVD

    Hello

    The reader combo CD-RW/DVD on my Satellite Pro A40 (14 months) stopped reading DVDs (DVD - R or the video, have not tried other types), although it can play DVDs some time. I've cleaned the disc by using a cleaning disc. I think the problem started when I upgraded the OS to WinXP SP1 to SP2, but not sure. I tried CD - R and CD - RW writing and no errors were reported, but the CD that result are unusable (can't be read in the drive, with the LED blinks a few times and then to infinity).

    Someone has an idea how solve this ptoblem? Thank you

    Richard

    Hi Richard,

    I suggest that you go the Device Manager on your laptop and then remove your devive DVD-ROM in the list. When you have done this and then select the option "Find new hardware" and allow Windows XP Reinstall the device and associate the appropriate driver.

  • Cannot find drivers for Vista for Satellite Pro A40

    I have the Toshiba Satellite Pro A40.
    I find no drivers for the Vista operating system installed recently, or find a way to report directly to Toshiba.
    Seeking advice.

    Hello

    You can find some Windows 2 k and drivers for the Satellite Pro A40 XP in Toshiba Archive area.

    As you can see this series of mobile could be found in the area of the Archive because it s an old model of laptop. Because this series is a little older Vista drivers are not available and if you want to use the Vista on satellite Pro A40 then you have to collect the Vista drivers at your own hand.

    Good luck

  • Need drivers XP for Satellite Pro A40

    Just do a fresh install of XP on a Satellite Pro A40 of second hand. Various onboard devices are not known (of in XP Device Manager) and I can't go through the process of "Install new hardware" that I don't have the drivers. The devices are mainly the Multimedia Sound Audio Card and the PCI Modem. I don't know what manufacturer made these, as XP ID device as unknown Manager.

    Anyone have any ideas or tips on how I can get the sound and PCI modem to work?

    (I'm not using the laptop for this message, even if it has access to the Internet).

    Thank you

    Looking for XP drivers?

    You can find all the XP drivers on the European driver Toshiba page!

    For the multimedia and Audio sound card, you need to install the audio driver and Modem PCI-> modem driver.

    You will find everything on the page of the driver.

    But note that buddy, there are also a few QFE Ms. This is usual Microsoft patches and fixes that are necessary and essential for the installation of the driver.

    Also check the Microsoft Windows XP SP2 update information. Sometimes the only drivers or utilities must be updated after the installation of service packs for MS!
