Satellite Pro: Good question - there is no available active mixer device

When I start my computer, the sound card works fine. I click on the volume control and it works.

In a few minutes, he cut. I click on volume control and get a pop-up message:

"There are no active mixer devices. To install mixer devices, go to control panel, click Printers and other devices, and then click Add Hardware. This program will be closed. ""OK "".

I downloaded the Realtek drivers (it's pilots did not update so that they are the original ones) and reinstalled them. I tried RealPlayer, WMP, QuckTime.

I tried to live with it, but it's really annoying me now.

Anyone has any ideas, please?

Thanks for reading :)

Hello

Strange could you please check if the "Windows Audio" service has been disabled.
Go to RUN and type "services.msc", scroll down to "Windows Audio" and make sure it is running and/or standing on "automatic".

This service should always runs.

You can also try to remove the sound card and after restarting again the OS notebooks should recognize the card even once.

    I said that I can't buy an adapter for the laptop above.

    Hello

    Really?
    I think that there should be a consistent car for this series adapter
    As far as I know the laptop adapter supports (19V, 3 42A 65W)

    I didn t find a special drive to Toshiba for this device adapter, but you might check out 3rd parts.

  • Satellite Pro M50: 896 MB of RAM available instead of 1536 MB

    I recently bought a 1 GB RAM module for my laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro M50. The laptop has already had a 512 MB card installed. I used the scanner memory from crucial.com to ensure what I bought compatible memory.

    I installed the 1 GB module, and now all of my system will show is that I have 896 MB of RAM available. It is of course the module 1024Mo less 128 MB for the execution of the shared video card. My BIOS shows also only 896 MB of available RAM, but if I run a program of analysis such as CPU - Z it shows 2 modules of RAM installed with a total of 1536 MB of RAM available.

    I tried the two RAM modules individually in both slots and the two modules together in both slots. Both work individually and both work in two locations in memory, but combined the module of 512 MB is not displayed. 1 024 MB module seems to be fine. I am running Win XP SP2.

    Do you have any ideas I can do to fix this?

    A second question, I used to play DVDs on my laptop, but recently, when I try, the sound crackles & pop & the DVD skips a little every two seconds... any ideas?

    See you soon!

    Hello

    I found similar issues here in this forum and especially he was bound for the bar of memory is not compatible.

    According to the information on the Toshiba Web page module the 1024 MB PC2700 (PA3313U-2M1G) is supported and can be used.

    I put t know what the manufacture of your new memory is, but I wouldn't recommend mix parts. Try to use both modules of the same provider and use both with exactly the same specifications.

    Hope this helps a little

    Good day...

  • Satellite Pro A200 - question on the BIOS update

    I have a Satellite Pro A200 (PSAE7E) with Windows Vista and XP that have been installed recently.
    In the driver of Toshiba page (BIOS update) says:

    "This Bios is only compatible for portable computers with Windows Vista!"

    (1) should I update my BIOS (1.4) or it'll be a problem for my windows XP?

    (2) anyone has try?

    (3) is there documentation on the BIOS updates (bug fixes, etc.)?

    Hello

    I will try to be very short with answers:
    1. If you use Windows XP Home edition on your laptop have BIOS update with the version 5.30
    2 this version of BIOS is available for days and it is possible that many people already tried. By the way: until Toshiba out something that is tested and verified.
    3. Unfortunately there is documentation about bugs and patches, but the fact is that Toshiba has designed the 5.30 version to support the features of Windows XP Home edition on the models of laptops designed Vista

  • Satellite Pro M70: Question on the port on the left hand side

    Another question regarding the Pro M70 PSM75E, next to the hard drive (left side) there is a port which you can take off. I took it of and it looks like a chip grafx or something: s someone with the M70 not what it is.

    Thanks again

    Hello

    Well, there are of many Satellite Pro M70. It s a great series.
    But for example Satellite Pro M70-110 has a PCMCIA Type II slot.
    You can use the different PCMICA card in this slot. But they must be compatible.
    I guess this slot machine, you found a plastic Board. This is only for security.

    However, if you want to learn more about your device, I would recommend reading the user manual which must be preinstalled on your laptop. You will find very, very, very ;) useful information.

  • Satellite Pro M30: Question Abu support DVI port

    Hello world
    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro M30 with a nVidia go5200 graphics card. The nvidia Web page asserts that this graphics card has DVI support (http://www.nvidia.co.uk/page/fx_mobile_fb_5200.html) but I could not connect my apple cinema display to the computer.
    The screen is connected through a DVI vga, but I don't have a 'real' addaptor.

    Does anyone have a solution to my problem?

    Thank you
    Magnus

    Hello

    According to the specification this device doesn't have a DVI - D port and there is no possibility to connect it directly to the unit. This unit video a VGA 15 pins port only. Google all over the place. Maybe you'll find a real adapter.

    If you find something interesting, please let us know. It may be useful for other members of the forum.

  • Satellite Pro P100 Question on software pre-installed

    I bought a Toshiba laptop in July and although I am very happy with the machine.

    I'm very upset that he came with very little software that I expected at least MS works or similar for a professional laptop, but there is nothing (no spreadsheet, text or data processing)

    After spending more than £1,000. I'm a little annoyed - don't know if it's a world of Toshiba or PC Business (people, I bought it from) error.

    One of my colleagues bought a laptop the week £600 last and which have very many useful software pre-installation.

    Hello

    You talk about the Satellite Pro P100 PSPA4E series?

    If you really this machine then I put t agree with you!
    To my knowledge of many tools and utilities and additional programs have been installed on this laptop.
    Maybe a small list?
    Here you are:
    -Office OneNote2003
    -TOSHIBA utilities
    -WinDVD
    -Platinum WinDVD Creator2
    -Sonic DLA
    -Symantec Norton AntiVirus 2006
    -PC Diagnostic tool
    -Etc.

    Please note that the software package Microsoft Office OneNote offers several useful simple programs!

    May I ask why you compare one satellite Pro P100 with other laptops who don t support the same processor, the graphics card performance and additional features?

    From my personal experience of many manufacturers of laptop while customers with software pre-installed because that the performance of the laptop or simple parts (graphics card, HARD drive, memory IE) are not approximately the same mostly.

    Last but not least; I put t really understand why you're a little annoyed.
    Why you didn t check the laptop and the description?
    Do you always buy a cat in a bag?

  • Satellite Pro 4220; Question on price

    Hello

    Some time ago I found an old laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro series machine, model 4220. It has a Pentium 3 450 Mhz, video card Trident with MB and 256 MB of ram. The only question is, how much it will cost when it is released, and when it came out.

    Thanx.

    Wow, your question is very special ;)

    Hmm this laptop was released many years ago it s an oldie :D
    As I remember it came out November 1999!

    But unfortunately, I have not found any price! I think that it of not possible to say what cost this laptop.
    Notebook dealers create portable final price and it depends on many factors such as country, supply and demand, etc...!

    But maybe a few grandmothers and grandfathers could recall the price ;)

  • Satellite Pro 4600: Question about upgrade RAM, CPU, motherboard

    Hello

    I have a SP4600 and because I love this machine, I want to give him the chance to stay with me - but unfortunately, it will only work by increasing its performance...

    Is anyone here has made some experiences in upgrading a SP4600 more than 512 MB of RAM?
    I know that this machine uses PC100 SD - RAM that is available up to 256 MB.
    But someone has tried successfully to put in PC133 memory? And if so, to were the limit?

    And more: what about the upgrade of the rest, for example, the CPU or the whole motherboard?
    Currently, his heart beats with 700 Mhz (Celeron). Would it be as easy as just another graft?
    Or would it be easier to exchange the whole motherboard?
    I've never done anything like this before and I'm not sure how the rest of the system can react on these interventions, in particular because the we-board-video and sound on board...

    I would be delighted if someone could give me some positive feedback on these issues...

    Hello

    You can only use the memory 100 Mhz modules because the FSB is limited to 100 MHz.
    If you use 133 Mhz modules, they will work only at 100 Mhz.

    You can upgrade the satellite Pro 4600 until 512 MB (2x256MB)
    http://www.orcalogic.co.UK/ASP/ProdType.asp?ProdType=28447&ft=m&St=3

    Other devices such as the CPU or GPU are not extensible and the motherboard may be replaced only with the same motherboard

    Finally, you should know that the laptop technology is a little different and you can't compare it with any desktop computer. You can update some parts such as the memory or HARD drive, but that s all the

  • Satellite Pro 4600: question strange memory - memory seems

    Hi all

    for the second time in 18 months, I have strange problems with cards of memory (2 x 256 MB 144-Dimm PC133) of my satellite pro 4600: from one day to the other, the memory seems to reach "grilled" as the old light bulbs. Before that I used the satellite pro 4600 for several hours and the surface on the maps of memory had very hot.
    Y at - it anyone out there facing the same problems? On the replacement: should I better go for chips PC100 PC133 instead?

    Thanks in advance: Bernie

    Hello

    The fact is that recommend Toshiba using these memory modules:
    PA3003U - 1 M 03 32MB MEMORY KIT
    PA3004U - 1 M 06 64 MB MEMORY KIT
    PA3005U - 1 M 12 128 MB MEMORY KIT
    KIT MEMORY OF 256 MB PA3069U - 1 M 25

    It seems that PA3069U - 1 M 25 256 MB PC100 module.
    Well, as you have suggested that memory cards got very hot. In my opinion the fastest PC133 produce a high temperature, and this could be a problem.
