Satellite Pro L300 - sound is not working properly

Hi all!

Last week, I bought my Toshiba Satellite Pro L300.
I have had no operating system with the laptop, but I had my own XP, so I changed the SATA drives in compatibility mode and installed windows XP Pro.
(By the way this is a Vista laptop officially)
I installed all the drivers, but I have a problem with the sound. It has a bad quality, but this isn't the biggest problem.
If I start listening to music, the sound stops every 3-4 seconds for a fraction of a second. It's as if the processor worked (like the computer was loading, and the processor is a bit overloaded) I usually have this experience if I run many programs simultaneously on my old computer, it slows down and the music stops for a second. But on the new laptop, I run winamp, I have dp nothing but listen to the music, and I get this problem.

Can anyone help? Is it because of XP? Or the driver does not work properly? Or I have a big problem and should go back to the store?
Please write!

Hello

Did you notice HARD drive activity when this happens?
Maybe some anti-virus works in the background.

Maybe you can order original Toshiba recovery DVD for your laptop model. Check it out under the https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

Using WXP only? I ask this question because I believe that you can only get to this Vista laptop.

  • Satellite Pro L300 - touchpad does not work

    Hi all that I need help urgent because it drives me crazy. First of all, I use XP PRO. My laptop is fairly new, only around the age of 4 months, I had no problem with it at all. I formatted my laptop yesterday and reinstalled all the drivers that I downloaded here:

    http://www.ISD.Toshiba.com.au

    and everything works fine except the touchpad. I have already installed shared, utilitarian toggle the touchpad Module and I have the latest BIOS installed and reset all default settings and I made sure that the touchpad is enabled in the BIOS, but also pressing FN + F9 to enable during Windows.

    I installed the latest touchpad driver Synpatics I downloaded from the homepage of Synaptics. But for some reason any, that it does not work, I don't know what is the problem here. My touchpad worked before I formatted my laptop, it worked fine and has never had any problems. Will you please tell me what is wrong because I need to use my touchpad sometimes as well, so I can't use a mouse all the time.

    Hello

    > I installed the latest Synaptics touchpad driver that I downloaded from the home page of Synaptics
    I think that you question refers simply to the driver for the touchpad that is missing or incorrect.
    I put t know how it works on Toshiba notebook Australian, but the Toshiba European Satellite Pro L300 units needs touchpad different drivers. some use the Toshiba touchpad driver and some units need a driver for the Synaptics touchpad.

    In your case, I recommend this controlled again.

    By the way; My touchpad is always disabled so that en external mouse is connected.
    It is parameters that control it. Please check in your touchpad properties too!

  • Satellite Pro M10 - infrared does not work properly

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro M10 and my infrared does not work. I downloaded the zip file with the drivers from this site. Then, I uninstalled and reinstalled, but it always happens in the Device Manager under "unknown - SMC IrCC - Fast Port infrared (IR Module: HP). (with an exclamation point). When I look at the properties it says under device status:

    This device does not work properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

    Click Troubleshoot to start the troubleshooter for this device.

    However, under Driver Details is said:
    C:\windows\system32\DRIVERS\smcirda.sys

    I extracted the zip file in my home directory of c:\downloads\infrared.
    whatever I do, it does not now. It worked when I bought it, but I have too many things on the system for a new installation. Which brings me to another question. Is it possible to re - install windows without losing all your data, etc.? I did it with other systems (95,98) Windows. But it seems that the Toshiba recovery disc means any wiping.

    Thanks in advance for any help.
    Chris

    Hello

    If your HARD disk contains two partitions and you have saved the data on a second you can reinstall the operating system on the first partition using recovery DVDs.

  • Satellite L755-1ED - sound is not working properly

    Hello

    I am currently the owner of a Toshiba Satellite L755 1ED and the sound does not work as it should for a few weeks. When I try to play an audio file or a video, its offline or online, works well for the first few minutes, and then suddenly disappears. I use Windows 7, and when that happens, his is still known for the system as you can see in the volume control, but any noise is coming from the speakers. However:
    -If I pause the video and then repeat it in like 30 seconds, sound usually comes back. Also if I go to Sound Settings in + material and Sound + in the + control panel + and then try to check if it works, it's usually after the first or second attempt.
    -If I use headphones always works perfectly.

    I have already installed the latest updates of my sound card and I don't know where the problem is maybe. Some help would be welcome.
    Thank you very much and sorry for my English (is not my native language).

    > If I use headphones always works perfectly.
    Very interesting article. Speakers a little internal switch port that helps mobile to recognise that the earphones are connected and when you connect headphones, internal speakers will be disabled and the sound comes through the speakers only.

    On some machines, it is possible to manually switch between external and internal contacts

    When you open Control Panel is Realter HD audio manager available or maybe Smart audio?

  • Satellite Pro C850 keyboard does not work properly and opens several programs

    My satellite pro C850 1HE keyboard intermittently stops working correctly, and begins to open programs, for example, by pressing F will open the file search, C open computer this kind of thing

    is there a permanent solution to this problem?

    This is not something to do with installed programs is not something to do with the browser settings.
    restarting the computer works in a short time, but that is a long time, it's really annoying because I use this for work and study!

    > is there a permanent solution to this problem?

    The question is what causes this problem? Is it related hardware or software related issue?

    Why n t connect a USB keyboard just to check if the same would happen?

    In case the USB keyboard would work fine, I guess that the internal keyboard failures and the solution would be a simple replacement of the defective part.

  • Satellite Pro 6100 keyboard does not work properly after repairs

    Hello

    My 6100 Pro Sam just being away from usual mother board and power Board replacement with Toshiba, but now I have a strange keyboard problem.

    When I turn it on, all the keys are working. After a few minutes, '3' is not working, then 'r' fails, then '5', ' 7 ', ' 8',' 9 ', ' 0' to stop working. At this point, I can feel something very hot under the middle of the keyboard. A reboot and no keys work. Another reboot with the internal keyboard and an external keyboard to the PS2 is still defective (some keys work, others do not), but the outer one works properly.

    Now, if the pc has not obtained if hot as the middle of the internal keyboard, then, I would conclude that the keyboard was defective, but for his failure, slowly and sequentially like this and it fails at the same way every day (since Toshiba rebuild it!).

    Perhaps, internal keyboard controller overheating?
    Anyone know what this could be? :-(

    See you soon,.
    Homer

    Right under the keyboard of your pro 6100 is the VGA graphics controller (the keyboard cable plugs on the same map). It is normal that this part become hot during use.

    It is strange that your problem appears after a while and not immediately.

    It could be just a bad relocation of the keyboard cable (it's a thin layer as a movie negative photo) which easily appears there, but... it may be something more serious, too. (Especially since you had done upgrade where the material had to be changed)

    I consult the service centre once more and ask for instructions how to deal with this. Do not ignore it (using an external keyboard instead of internal dysfunction) because he could end up in something more serious soon...

    Before you use this option, you must activate it with FN + F10 or F11. I put t remember which of these two key combinations is good. Please test.

    The touchpad can be activated in Control Panel-> mouse-> device settings
    In some cases, there might be a tab named touchpad ON / OFF

    However, take a look here it should be possible to activate the touchpad somewhere in the control panel of the mouse.

    To my satellite A10 S203 sound does not work, I updated my sound card and the bios but nodifferents. Nothing in the system that says that I have something wrong whith my sound is just enough. I tried speakers headphones and challenging systemsounds, mp3, Auidi direct works cd... nothing.

    Any tip?
    [email protected]

    First check the status of the sound card in Device Manager.
    If there is a yellow climbing brand then you should try to reinstall the driver. (first remove it and after reboot, install a new)

    Have you checked the volume setting and the site of laptop? Eventually he s a very simple idea, but believe me, I read many comments here in the forum and a lot of guys forget this option simply.

  • Shortcut keyboard Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 - properties will not end

    Dear lovers of Toshiba:

    This week, we have installed three new systems of Toshiba Satellite Pro L300 (two L300-153, a L300-156) with recovery media for Windows XP since the L300-156 product (no date on the disc, only two codes: CD 5 124624 and GMR400841EN0).

    The machines are beautiful and very effective, except for one problem: when the logout or shutdown Windows XP, the program called 'The Toshiba keyboard shortcut properties' does not stop automatically and opens a dialog "end program". The user may terminate the program immediately by clicking on the button 'End now' or wait until it to expire, after which the system disconnects or terminate normally.

    We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied. (We will be definitely check this on the following system and display the result.) Install the rest updates Windows with Service Pack 3 does not resolve the problem. Not more then that uninstall Toshiba Hotkey Utility by installing the package current, freshly downloaded from the Toshiba support area.

    A colleague suggested disabling startup programs. There are two likely choices for this purpose in the startup list + of + msconfig +: * thotkey * and * TFncKy *. Disabling either of these programs allows the disappearance of problem, but the functions of the * Fn keys are lost. The key functions are also lost when uninstalling the Toshiba Hotkey Utility.

    My question is of two parts:
    # Comment this problem be solved permanently, or circumvented (other than to say the customer never disconnect & close always the cover to hibernate)?
    # If there is no solution yet, how can a bug report situate with Toshiba, so I can get them the information they need to solve this problem and establish the responsibility?
    I will continue to post new information here that I acquire until a permanent solution is reached.

    Although this problem seems trivial and 'cosmetic' it's always awkward having to provide new machines customers with such an obvious flaw. It ourselves and Toshiba look bad, especially after that we sold the idea that people avoid problems of this kind to choose a Windows XP on Vista platform.

    Thank you, Robert Phair
    Director.

    > when the logout or shutdown Windows XP, the program called 'The Toshiba keyboard shortcut properties' does not stop automatically and opens a dialog "end program"...
    > We noticed only after the installation of Service Pack 3 on all machines, so I don't know if the problem was present before SP3 has been applied

    Problems could be caused by Win XP SP3. I've read several times that SP3 could be not entirely compatible with drivers or 3rd tools
    So I guess there is a problem of compatibility between the exe and SP3 files.
    By the way; SP3 is not completely released and updated test!

    I installed SP3 for some tests on my old non-Toshiba laptop and my work LAN card didn't so it of really possible that SP3 causes this.

    > There are two likely choices for this in the msconfig startup list: thotkey and TFncKy. Disabling either of these programs, the disappearance of the problem, but the functions of the Fn keys are lost

    It is clear that the thotkey and TFncKy files belong to applications that control the FN keys, SO if you would disable this in msconfig then buttons would not work.

    So, a solution might be a removal of SP3 System.
    In addition, you should try to clean the registry and operating system using the free tool like CCleaner.

    > Hope to get a response from an engineer from Toshiba, if there is no monitoring of this forum.
    I hope this too, but it seems that this forum is only a user forum.
    So if you want to report this behavior for laptop, contact the Toshiba ASP in your country

    See you soon

    Hello

    Why do you think Win XP does not work on satellite Pro L300?
    Of course, you can install Win XP on this laptop.

    I think that you didn't read all the threads here in the forum about this theme.
    Am I wrong? I think you should take a little time and have read some threads here
    It is really useful and could learn a little more about the installation of the OS.

    PS: All the Win XP drivers are placed on the page of the European driver Toshiba ;)

  • Satellite L775 - mouse pad does not work properly

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L775. I run Win 7 Home Premium. My mouse pad does not work properly. I also have a Logitech Anywhere MX wireless mouse. I tried the mouse pad to work properly with the key FN and F9, but it does not work. And you really have no idea if that turns or out of the mousepad anyway, subj for another time I guess.

    What does not work, but I have to do is to go to Control Panel then mouse option load that and just scroll the tabs without changing what each time and then close and the touch pad works. But only for this session. If I have my laptop nearby, or turn it off, I have to start throughout the whole process.

    What's past and how to fix this?

    Thank you very much.

    > What's past and how to fix this?
    After reading your ad, I still don t know what is your problem.
    > My mouse pad is not working properly
    How to understand this? What does not work properly? What happen exactly when you start your laptop?

  • Satellite L30: The sound does not work on XP Sp2

    Hi, sorry but I cannot well English.

    I have a problem. I do not have CD with drivers, but I download from the toshiba site.

    Yesterday, I reinstal windows, then I install all the drivers and I have a problem with the audio drivers.
    In Device Manager is all good, his system is activated, drivers of instalation, I have no problem. But sound does not work.

    You have any ideas?

    Hello

    If the sound does not appear on your laptop, you must first check the volume control on the side of the laptop. Turn it up to the max level.
    Then check the sound devices and audio in the control panel if any controller is disabled or turned to the lower floor.

    Additional connect headphones and check if you can hear something.

    By the way: have you installed the correct drivers? On the Toshiba page, you will find two different sets of portable Satellite L30

  • Satellite M40-110: WLan is not working properly after sleep mode

    Hello, I have a M40-110. I have some problems with my wireless adapter. After I closed the screen (bed) and the computer goes into sleep mode, I open the computer screen becomes active, but this time the wireless adapter is not working properly and I can't connect to Internet with my wireless adapter. Sometimes, it seems that the wireless adapter has established a connection, but I can't send and receive data from the Internet. Sometimes after this case, the wireless adapter becomes invalid.

    My Service offered to enable the bios wake-up-on-lan option. After doing this, the Internet worked properly.
    But I am wary about this option:

    (1) not allowing this option cause draining my battery quickly?
    (2) this option doesn't make that hides my hardware failure (wireless card) and it is really necessary to solve this problem?
