Satellite Pro U400 - 10 H Win XP - webcam microphone is very low

The microphone of the webcam is very low - an external microphone is fine.
When I go to the volumd mic the "Advanced" button control that should give me access to "mic boost" is grayed out (but checked).

Any help appreciated.

Hello

I have a U400 pre-installed with Win XP and my internal microphone works well.
The Microphone option is checked and in the advanced settings of that amp Microphone is checked also but NOT dimmed.

I should mention that I've updated my audio driver several weeks ago
Maybe you should do this too.

Good bye

  • Satellite Pro U400 Win 7: flashing projector connected to Dynadock U10

    I have a number of Dynadocks U10 and Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 laptops.

    They are used to allow our teachers to move from one room to the other without having to connect and disconnect several cables. We use a vga connection to a projector for the external monitor.
    Everything worked pretty well until we put Win 7 on laptops.

    Now, at random intervals, the external monitor will blink.
    I tried the most up to date drivers and software found elsewhere in these forums.
    If I plug the projector directly into the laptop, the flashing stops.

    Can someone please help avoid losing me my mind completely.

    Thank you.

    > If I plug the projector directly into the laptop, the flashing stops.

    I think it means that the VGA of Dynadock pilot must be upgraded to Win 7 compatible version.
    There is nothing wrong in using a direct connection to the laptop, so I think there must be a problem with the driver Dynadock.

  • Satellite Pro U400: How to remove folder HDD Recovery Vista running Win 8

    Hello!

    I have updated my Windows Vista to Windows 8 via the Microsoft upgrade offer. Toshiba does not support the upgrade of the Satellite PRO U400 of Win8, but it works so far, only a few features are missing...

    In this HARD drive recovery process, Vista folder remained on my partition E: (containing about 5 GB of files dated 2008...).

    I HAVE (even 2 sets of) recovery DVD for Vista.
    The infrastructure of original HDDRecory for Vista on the laptop ran defective, already long ago for some reason any.

    There is therefore no reason to keep the old HDD Recory on E: folder.
    It is completely unnecessary and I would like to remove this folder without formatting E:.
    However, although I work with admin rights, this is strictly rejected by the system of Windows 8.

    Is there any idea how to get the access rights to delete the HDDRecory folder?

    Best regards and thanks for the help!
    Gernot

    So far I didn't test these actions, but if you have administrative rights, maybe it's possible to delete certain partition and without changing the ability to create a new.
    Try to do this, use the option of disk management in computer management.

    Of course before trying to do this backup all other important data stored on that partition.

    Please let me know if it will work.

    Do you recommend this laptop? I tried searching the Internet for customers, but I couldn't find the model U400 - 23M. What are the advantages and disadvantages on this laptop?

    Hi mate

    I n t have the Satellite Pro U400 - 23M, but I m an owner of the Satellite U400-10N.
    I use it in my office all I love this little baby.

    You should know that the U400 has 13.3 display and it of smaller than the P100.
    So you will definitely notice a difference.

    One of my friends said that 13.3 would be too low for him, but for me it s best. I can take everywhere and sometimes I m work while traveling around the world

    So I m very satisfied.

    I ve installed Win XP on this U400 and it s functions perfectly!
    But you can install Vista 64 bit too. The Satellite Pro U400 - 23M uses the Intel Core 2 Duo CPU T5870, that supports 64-bit

    But note; the U400 is not really a cellphone game hardcore.
    My U400 supports an Intel graphics chip and usually I only use it for office, graphic design (web) applications and web browsing.

    PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP? Thank you

    There is no special driver for microphone.

    By the way: what mic do you mean? The intern who belongs to the webcam?

  • Satellite Pro U400 - audio quality is not good

    OK this problem has been plaging me for years. I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400 windows 8.1.

    The sound quality is terrible.
    I can remember it's bad in windows 7.

    Contextant driver is bad, and so is the generic driver windows 8.1.

    Help, please

    To be honest, I have no idea what you mean exactly by the quality is terrible.
    I've owned a notebook Satellite U400 happened and I have to say that the sound quality was quite good.

    Satellite U400 is a small portable 13.3 and the speakers have been adjusted to the dimensions of the laptop.
    The Conexant audio chip is part of the motherboard and you will not be able to replace it.

    If you want to use another sound card, you can try to use an external USB audio interface.
    I use this external sound solution for my home recording studio.

    The audio interface is connected to the USB port of the laptop s and the external speakers are initiated for the external audio interface.

    By the way: isn't Satellite U400 is the list of the supported 8.1 notebooks... Win so you won't find not all drivers Win 8.1 for this unit on the Toshiba driver website.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - 15 p hangs after enabling the Realtek RTL8187B WLan card

    Hello

    I recently bought the Toshiba Satellite Pro u400 - 15 p. This notebook is originally without any operating system included. I installed Windows XP Home SP3 on it and downloaded all the drivers from the Web from Toshiba website. Everything works well except the WiFi - RTL8187B.

    Driver has been installed correctly, when I turn the WLAN on everything is always OK, but when I connect to a network wireless Windows XP hangs after some time - without notice or BSOD - and the only thing I can do is to restart the PC holding down the button for 5 seconds.

    I have:
    -installed the latest BIOS (v3.70),
    -installed the last version of drivers available (v6.1150.1112.2008)
    -tried how it works on Vista Home Basic - it does not either, but on Vista only connection must be reset.

    I searched on the web (perhaps not all), including this forum, but I was unable to find a solution.
    Now I am seriously considering warranty claim, please help me to avoid that it ;)

    Hello

    It's really strange.
    Are you sure that this happens because of the WLan card activated 100%?
    I mean there could be another reason for this gel

    I'm U400 too and I m running Win XP and Vista without problem!
    At that time, I m using WiFi and everything works ok

    I think it s not a Wlan related question, but there must be another reason why this laptop locks maybe a problem of RAM or something like that.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - network connection lost after suspend

    I have a Toshiba Dynadock. My network is connect directly in dynadock.

    When suspend my Satellite Pro U400 and after reboot to continue working I lost my network connection. Then I shut down my computer and disconnect/connect Dynadock I can continue working.

    What is the problem?
    Dynadock software version is 2.0

    Hello

    I see that you have switched from Vista to XP.

    First of all I recommend you update the BIOS.
    As I m not wrong on the European driver Toshiba page, you should find a newer version of the BIOS.

    You will need to upgrade Win XP to the last State.
    The XP must be up-to-date and all service packs, hotfixes and patches MS must be installed in your laptop.

    Access the Device Manager, and then score in each USB hub root, you must disable the option called allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
    You can find this option in the properties-> tab power management

  • Satellite Pro U400 - Web cam driver probem

    Hello

    Recently I bought the laptop Satellite Pro U400 series. Currently I am faced with a real problem with the webcam integrated. When I start my laptop, first it works and then after some time when trying to close and reopen it gives either of the below error messages
    "graphics make it fail."
    'driver open webcam fail, restart '.

    I try reinstalling the webcam Assistant software, but the problem still persists.

    A facing this kind of problem and if you know a solution, please tell me.

    Concerning
    Jesu

    The error message is known to me
    I think reinstalling webcam software and Vista update should contribute to this issue.

    So how to proceed;
    First remove the old webcam software.
    Then clean the operating system using the CCLeaner
    Then update the Vista of the State (you must restart the operating system several times)
    Then, download the new webcam software, unzip it and reinstall it.
    Restart the computer and check if the same error would reappear.

  • Satellite Pro U400-11V - Installation using the floppy from XP downgrade

    Hello

    Yesterday I had to replace my HARD drive once it is simply dead.
    I didn't know it was a big deal that I had lost any data.
    I would just like to re - install Windows XP using the Downgrade XP disk came with the laptop.

    It turns out that: I have about 10 discs Downgrade XP each almost identical looking and everyone, I assume, associated with a particular Toshiba laptop my company bought at some point.
    Now, I have no idea what drive is the one that came with my Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-11V.

    What I did:
    -We selected at random.
    -Installed Win Xp Pro.
    -Tried to activate Windows.
    -It indicates that the product key is bad (and some drivers are missing, so it is obviously not the disc that came with the laptop, but he got me so far).
    -Correct the product key according to the key that is located on a sticker at the bottom on the laptop *.
    * On the sticker, this key is an OEMAct Windows Vista Business key, the OS of the laptop came with.
    -L'activation of Windows will not accept the key to the sticker.

    So I have 2 questions:
    1. is there another method of re - install Windows XP Pro using the * original * Downgrade XP disk that came with?
    2 (leading to #1) is it possible to identify which drive is the one shipped with my laptop? Perhaps by checking some serial numbers on the disc?

    Worst case scenario I'll have to make (at most) 10 Windows installs until one works.
    But I was really hoping some help & advice.

    I can't wait to hear all the answers,
    Thank you!

    Your ad is really funny :D

    I put t know how your Win XP drive looks like. My laptop came with the recovery disk and it was mentioned on the label that it's Toshiba recovery disc.

    In addition he s already enabled so I put t need to activate the operating system by using this key.
    Also, the key at the bottom of the unit belongs to the preinstalled operating system and it will NOT work with the new Win XP or another operating system.

    But back to your Win XP disks
    I recommend that you check the single disc... maybe a disc is already activated
