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.

  • Fingerprinting is on Satellite Pro U400-160 - specified database not found

    Hello

    Well, I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400. The first day, I took my fingerprints, and all went well.
    The next day, the software reinstalled himself for some reason any... and lost of my fingerprints.
    So I went back to the software TrueSuite Access manager, but this time I had a problem!

    ' *' Error: specified database could not be found ' n ' exact error message no, something similar.*

    I got this message, so I looked in this forum. I discovered that I could reinstall the software, so I did and got the last update, but it's the same thing.

    I don't know what to do, I just installed Office 2007 since I was the computer, nothing else.

    Help, please!
    Thank you very much

    You take the recovery disc and reinstall the OS using the Toshiba disc.
    The laptop must be set to the factory settings/configuration and then you should check if the same error message again.

    Hello

    The port microphone or line is not because you are looking for this audio * output parameters.
    The microphone is a device of entry so it s not who listed there.

    If you go into the volume settings > options > properties you can switch to HD Audio input.

    Pass the initial Toshiba screen, I had to check it out for the PC tech guy, and they could not get pass this screen as well. However, they confirmed that the hard drive has been authorized. They suggest that the motherboard is broken?
    Can anyone help? And where can I get a replacement from? I have no recovery disks, like most of the GUY's, I have not read the instructions.

    Any help would be really appreciated

    Who are these guys from tech PC? Maybe Toshiba service provider?

    To get the new motherboard will be problematic, so I recommend you contact the nearest authorized Toshiba and ask for help. They can order the new Board of Directors for you.

  • Satellite Pro U400 VISTA disk management has 6 primary partitions

    Hi all!

    I have a strange effect on my Toshiba laptop Satellite Pro U400 (but it seems not to be specific to this one that I saw the same symptoms elsewhere, at the same time):

    I had the laptop with a 320 GB drive with recovery-(invisible / "Configuration EISA", 1,46 Go) system (C:, ~ 150 GB) and data (E:, ~ 150 GB) volumes. It's the usual structure of Toshiba,

    pre-installed OS was Vista professional.

    As I plan to install Linux in addition, I have done as a result of preparations:

    Recovery disc Vista created 1.).
    2.) C: shrunk to ~ 100 GB using Vista disk management tool.
    3.) E: shrunk to Go ~ 98 using Vista disk management tool.
    It is suggested that 4.) E: directly behind C: using Parted Magic CD.

    Finally I got a 97 GB of free space at the end of the disc, and everything worked well away. Creating an additional on the free area, Vista disk management, resulted in an extended partition created by Vista. This extended partition contained the extra volume as well as the free space remaining behind.

    To prepare for installing Linux, I've finally created three logical Volumes inside the extended partition with Vista disk management tool.
    After that, I had the following structure of the partition on the disk (indicated by the Vista Disk Manager):

    invisible 1.46 GB, primary
    C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
    E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data

    ~ 97 GB extended partition, containing:
    2 GB unformatted (planned for Linux swap)
    20 GB unformatted (planned for Linux root "/")
    21 GB unformatted (planned for Linux "/ home")
    Empty remaining 54 GB space

    More on Vista worked properly!

    Recently, I installed OpenSuse 11.1 using the volumes placed within extended partitions (user-specific configuration). The Installation worked correctly. Logical volumes have been formatted to

    2 GB of swap (swap Linux, / dev/sda5)
    20 GB ext3 (Linux root ' / ' on/dev/sda6)
    21 GB unformatted (Linux "/ home" on/dev/sda6)

    during the installation of Linux. Linux and Vista up and running with their scores. If I look at the hard drive with Linux' partitioning tool, I see three main partitions + range, as expected. The scope contains the Linux partitions + empty disk space.

    HOWEVER:
    ========

    If I look at the hard drive with the Vista disk management tool now, I get the following image:

    invisible 1.46 GB, primary
    C:, ~ 100 GB NTFS, primary, active, System
    E:, ~ 98 GB NTFS, primary, data
    2 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
    20 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
    21 GB PRIMARY, no format info displayed
    Empty remaining 54 GB space

    This means:
    VISTA DISK MANAGMENT ME PRESENT 6 PRIMARY PARTITIONS WITHOUT ANY COMPLAIN
    Although a hard drive on the PC architecture usually only supports maximum 4 primary partitions.

    Issues related to the:

    Have you ever seen a similar behavior?

    Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?

    Or is it a bug in formatting under Linux?

    Is there a solution for this problem?

    At present, the two BONES work very well. However, the disk will be get permanently damaged as soon as I try to create more partitions in the empty space left?

    Sincere greetings and thanks for your comments.

    Girard

    > Have you ever see similar behavior?
    NO.

    > Is this a bug of presentation in the Vista disk management tool?
    I doubt that it is a bug, I think you forgot something.

    As far as I know you can create 4 partitions on the HARD drive and this is the reason why you have the ability to create an extended partition.
    An extended partition can be divided into several logical drives.

    That is why it s wise to create a primary partition for Windows OS for example and an extended partition, which can decompose the in logical drives (partitions) different.

    However, I put t see a problem if everything works properly

    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.

  • Satellite Pro U400 - sound of the wheel does not work anymore

    The wheel of sound control in my Satellite Pro U400 works not properly since last month.

    Now, I have to use the volume bar in Vista to adjust properly. When I try to lower the volume by turning the wheel, as I did before, he constantly increases the volume after reducing to a few percent. If I flip it is very very slow, sometimes it decreases the volume a little, but other times it increases. Also when I'm in a word processor, turn the wheel to the right input 'c' character ' on the screen.
    There is no problem when I try to increase the volume, it does its job.

    Do you think it is related to hardware or can it be a problem of driver or something. Is there a solution?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I think it is just a software problem (Boot Manager).
    Try to repair the operating system by using HARD disk recovery;
    Press F8 why portable power.
    Then choose fix my computer, then choose disk HARD recovery.

    If this is not possible, order the disk recovery from here:

    Then, you will be able to reinstall the OS using the recovery disk

  • Re: Satellite Pro U400 - 13G: software uninstalled - FN keys do not work

    The other day I uninstalled many programs standard of his Toshiba Satellite U400 - 13G, because it has been very slow in implementing.
    But now I realized that his FN hotskeys does not work.

    I tried to look in the support forum and the list of drivers, but I can't find the answer.

    So the question is what program/driver should I install to get the keyboard shortcuts to work again. It is running vista 32 bit.

    Best looks Anders vangsgaard

    Hello

    Well buddy. For the future I'll give you a tip ;)
    Never remove any parts/software if you n t know what they are for ;)

    The Satellite Pro U400 - 13G seems belongs to the PSU45E series.
    Choose this model number to download driver form Toshiba Europe.
    Then download the package of value added.

    To reinstall this PPV you will need to remove the preinstalled old VAP.
    Do it and after rebooting again to install the new downloaded package added value.

    In my view, that the FN buttons should then work.

    I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-160 is more than a year. I have not used a lot lately, because I usually use my netbook computer for day to day stuff, but the Toshiba contains some files I want to see lost. That's the message that came when I turned on my laptop for the last time:

    Usually, I store all my software as a whole but I recently changed from home and for the life of me, I can't find the Toshiba recovery system disk. Even if I did, however, which would mean losing all files on my computer?
    My question is, is there a way to fix this without losing all data? Should I first try to save the data somehow and then solve the problem? And finally, how to solve this problem with/without the recovery CD?

    Thanks in advance. Any help will be MUCH appreciated.
    PS. This look is like a virus? What is a windows update that has corrupted some files?

    Hi monstarika,

    You can access the Windows Advanced Boot menu and boot into safe mode?
    If so try also to start the recovery of HARD drive if you choose fix my computer. If the operating system preinstalled by Toshiba is still installed, you can use this feature.

    If this work of t doesn't and you don t have the recovery disc, you can order directly in an enw one of Toshiba. That s no problem because you can order it online here:
