Satellite Pro P300 - no recorded on Skype voice

Hello forum,.

I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro P300. Configured as a system dual boot, Windows 7 (32 bit) / and Ubuntu 11.04 (also 32-bit).

I like to use Skype only occasionally. The laptop has an internal microphone, and when using Skype on Ubuntu it works fine. The use of Skype in Windows, however, does not work. When I do the 'test call' Skype and try to save my voice, all I hear is silence.

I guess that there is a missing driver, or something like that.

In Windows 7, Skype said "your microphone seems to work very well" and gives me two devices microphone to choose among, both called "Microphone (high definition Audio Device). There is no error message to be seen, but nothing happens.

I'm sure this is a simple solution, but I do not know how to proceed. Can someone please advise?

Thank you very much

Alan.

Hello

The microphone is a part of webcam and if it doesn't work, you need to reinstall the driver for the webcam. Make sure that you have installed the latest version of the Toshiba page.
http://EU.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com > support & downloads > download drivers

Also make sure that the microphone is set as default input device. Right click on the speaker icon in the taskbar and select recording devices. Select the microphone as the default device, and check if the amp microphone is activated.

  • Satellite Pro P300-25W - noise fan too heavy

    Hello

    I just got my Satellite Pro P300-25W and I hate the noise of the fan. Is there a way to make it less noisy race less often?
    I updated to Windows 7 and installed the drivers from the Toshiba DVD.

    In power options I selected everything to be optimized battery / record maximum power in the advanced power settings. But still, the fan runs almost all the time. I use Windows to surf a little, the CPU usage is very low (less than 10%), there is no 3D graphics movies or something goes on that would put fun on the GPU.

    It drives me crazy.
    I can do something, or should I just bought a laptop?

    I hope you can help!

    > Is it possible to make it less noisy race less often?

    There is an extra entry called Toshiba Power Saving and there you can change the performance of cooling module for battery or power mode.
    Usually, this should help

    But note; It depends on the internal temperature! Higher temperature means more rapid cooling modules
    It might be also possible that your cooling fans are full of dust and debris and prevents air circulation, remove dust and clean the fan using a jet of compressed air. Who helped in my case

  • Satellite Pro P300 (PSPC5E) - driver Webcam open fail on Windows 7

    I installed the RC of Windows 7 64 bit on my Satellite Pro P300 PSPC5E and I have problems with the configuration of my webcam and microphone.

    I tried to install the Wizard software for the camera, 64-bit (windows vista) to configure the webcam but I get an error message with "Webcam driver open fail. Restart camera or computer.' nor a camera photo or computer restart the job. I get the image in Skype, but I can't change the settings or so (dark) and the microphone is much quieter, so it was on windows XP, it is set to its maximum.

    Is there a solution for this problem? I hope so :)

    Hello

    I think there is no solution for this problem at the moment, because you are using a Release Candidate of Windows 7 and at the moment there is no official driver for Windows 7.

    Have you tried the driver of Windows Vista so that s what you can do. Alternative visit you the Toshiba us page (http://www.csd.toshiba.com) and search for driver of Windows 7 beta. Maybe it works.

    Good luck! :)

  • Cannot install recovery image on satellite Pro P300-1EX

    Hello.

    I have never had many problems with a single laptop in my lifetime of work. I'm almost ready to throw this thing out the window. I have a satellite pro p300-1EX.

    I wanted to do an install new os just to make things a bit faster for the customer, it was 8 hours ago.

    First, I installed a Home Windows OEM pre 32B version. Then I saw that the CD would not work.

    So, Okay - I'll bring back factory default:

    (1) there is no link repair starting and pressing F8
    (2) there is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
    (3) there is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
    (4) I try to download recovery disk creator bloody software and get this - it does not work. It creates a shortcut to a file that's not here yet. TRDCLcher.exe, can you, im speechless.

    So now, I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me? I don't think so.

    So, what can I please? It was a horrible experience. Nothing works. The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it. Instealing the OEM deleted all tools by default, but I can't NOT THE DOWNLOAD.

    Please, please help me.

    Thank you.

    Hello

    Maybe it sounds stupid now, but this is simply.

    Here's my explanation of how it works:
    Almost 4 or 5 years Toshiba offers laptops without recovery DVD but with recovery image stored on the HARD drive. As much I know about former Satellite/Satellite Pro P300 recovery image was recorded on the second partition of HARD drive in the folder named HDDRecvery. This model laptop was shipped with Windows Vista.

    As you know original recovery image can be installed n in two ways:
    -You can use the recovery HARD drive installation method - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
    -You can use the created recovery DVD disk

    HARD drive recovery facility can be made if the laptop has only factory settings. In this case in advanced startup options (F8), you will have the option to fix my computer. If the notebk has been installed with the version of the OS or any other operating system of this option won't be available more. Because of this Toshiba has preinstalled reminder with the message for owners of laptops create recovery DVDs.

    Your questions:
    > There is no link repair starting and pressing F8
    If this laptop doesn t have to factory settings it will not appear in the advanced startup options
    > There is no HARD drive untilty when you press 0 - that does nothing
    If you have European book this model with zero will not work. It only works with the United States and Austraian mobile.
    > There is no recovery console, by putting in an OEM version of windows vista
    I put t understand it. What happens when you start with the OEM version?
    > I am trying to download bloody recovery disc creator software
    If you have the European model of laptop, it can not be downloaded. This piece of software is included in the recovery image only.

    > So now I have to spend £30 of my own money by obtaining a disc sent to me
    I understand, but at least with the original recovery DVD you can install OS and all necessary things in an hour only.
    > The recovery partition, I see is still in tact, it's just like the laptop doesn't recognize it.
    Yes. Without factory settings you will not have access to these data.

    Follow these steps:
    -start your laptop and press F2 to enter the BIOS settings
    -set the BIOS to default settings and reboot the laptop
    -When the laptop reboots press F12 to get into the boot meny
    -When the boot menu appears on the screen put the original DVD of recovery in ODD
    -Choose the CD/DVD drive on the list and press ENTER
    This will force it's STRANGE to be the first boot device and you should see process on the loading screen. Click next or OK nothing change and wait for the recovery procedure starts.

    Please try it and let me know exactly what is happening.

    Which firewire connection my Satellite Pro P300-19 q did?
    I hope that this goes up to 800mbps (IEEE 1394 b) so I can use a powerful Firewire Soundcard for Audio recording of high quality.

    The only specs State he has IEEE 1394, but not the State is there, B, C or D

  • Satellite Pro P300 - BIOS upgrade to 64 - bit

    Hello

    I have a Satellite Pro P300 - 266 PSPCDE and I am very happy with him.

    Since I have a WIN7 64 bit OS, ready to use and 8 GB of RAM I need to update the BIOS to 64-bit.

    I found a WinPhlash file on the support site of Toshiba (toshiba - tro.de) bios called - 20090226124829.zip. I tried to use it as described in the Toshiba support on the use of WinPhlash (http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD9502M10000R01.htm) page. Also, I made an exception for WinPhlash in the registry of the DEP.

    It still does not work.

    Since I am a user knowing very mediocre modern computers I guess I'm doing something wrong or I can be monitor something... can anyone please help me upgrade my system to its full capabilities?

    Thank you

    Aernout

    You don't need to upgrade BIOS. If everything works well don t change anything.
    I have Satellite P300 with preinstalled Win7 32 bit and works perfectly.

    How do your shopping with the 64-bit version?

  • Occasional Satellite Pro P300-1FP - gel during video playback

    Hello forum,.

    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite Pro P300-1FP, age about 4 years old.

    Running Windows 7 (32-bit version).

    An occasional but annoying problem: when playing video, from time to time the whole system freezes. Sound continues to come from the speakers, but it is usually either an idle down & distorted version of what I should be heard, or a noise buzzing/scream loud, repetitive.

    System retrieves ever - only freezes completely, unresponsive, frozen display, the mouse pointer moves, etc.. Have to restart every time.

    Anyone know what could be the cause of this & how can I fix this?

    Thank you
    Alan.

    As far as I know SP P300 works well with Win7 32 bit. My brother has the same machine and use it with Win7 too. We checked often performance with different games or playing different videos, mostly from avi or mpeg files. Also very good race and YouTube videos smoothly, so I really don t understand why you have this problem of gel.

    Have you installed the Toshiba download page display driver?
    HARD drive is extremely busy before that happens?

    The same thing happens when you play games?

  • Satellite Pro P300 - 23L - horizontal lines on the taskbar

    I have a portable Satellite Pro P300 - 23L.
    Last night it suddenly appeared, about 30 horizontal thin white lines on the taskbar (actually on the bottom half inch of the screen).
    The top 3 or 4 of these lines seem to pulse in a fast and regular way.

    Now, I can barely see the icons in the taskbar, or the button to start in the lower left corner.

    I read on another forum that the problem may be due to a problem of "grounding".
    The charger plug is actually broken and repaired the wiring myself, but that some time previously, so it is possible that a connection is loose or is now was something shorting causing this effect.

    I had to order a new charger but in the meantime would appreciate any assistance in order to confirm or deny that this could be the problem.

    Any advice on how to remedy this?

    Hello

    If the problem would be with the power adapter this lines should NOT be visible using the laptop with the battery. Right?
    Therefore, it would be really interesting to know if the same lines are visible if the AC adapter is not plugged in.

    But I think that this is unrelated to the power adapter. In my opinion its a display issue or a graphics card problem.
    Therefore, you must connect an external monitor to check it out.
    If the same lines are visible on the external monitor, the graphics chip is assigned the case, it could be a display problem.

    The blu - ray player has hdmi (the satellite does not work) and the optoma projector has a 3.5 mm mini-plug.

    The satellite has a sound piece dolby - is it possible to get a feed for audio output dolby?

    Any thought / experience welcome.

    Thanks in advance!

    Hello

    Not sure but I think that the headphone socket supports S/PDIF
    I think you should check the user manual for more information on S/PDIF
    If his support, then you can use it to get the best audio quality

    Hello

    The European driver Toshiba page provides two audio Conexant drivers for this model of laptop.
    + Driver sound + 4.36.10.0
    + Driver sound + 4.83.1.0

    I recommend the new version 4.83.1.0
    Uninstall the old driver first in the Device Manager.

    Restart the device and install the new downloaded drivers.

    Hope this helps to get better sound quality :)
