Satellite U300-15s - WARNING: Impossible to be able to control the Volume.

Here are once again this return number...
I have 100 forums comments, tried several methods but without success.

First of all, some background: I have a Satellite U300-15 s, I had to install under XP SP2 for business purposes (sold with Vista). The audio chip is a Realtek ALC268. I reformatted the whole drive, wipping on the Vista recovery partition. My XP SP2 is a Version 5.1 (serial number 2600.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301 - 1519: Service Pack 2) in English (menus in French). The sound worked under Vista. I installed all the Windows XP drivers supplied by Toshiba on their web site. I updated the BIOS to the version of 15/12/08. When I use the sound mute button, I see the changing icon to mute to mute not (and vice versa).

For the audio drivers, once I discovered this problem, I tried:
-install directly from Realtek drivers out of their website (version 2.12) (uninstall the toshiba drivers, reboot, install the realtek drivers, reboot)
-install the KB888111 and KB198658 (uninstall the audio drivers, install 1 KB, reboot, install second KB, restart, install the audio drivers toshiba, reboot)

Indeed, I tried to reinstall the drivers 10' th time, including multi reboot.

Does anyone of you have an idea?

Steph

Hello

The right question is known to me because I had also after installing Win XP.

The problem is that you need to install MS patches first;
* KB835221 * and * KB888111 *.

All laptops with Realtek audio chip needs these patches from Microsoft!
After installing the MS patches, you should follow with the audio driver installation.

Secondly, please follow the order of driver installation mentioned in the installation instructions txt file that is located on the European driver Toshiba page!

Last but not least, you should know that the softwarw controls Toshiba is also responsible for Volume control, don t forget to reinstall.

Oh. I forgot to mention that your Satellite U300-15 s belongs to the series of PSU30E!
Choose this option in the form of driver download.

Greetings

  • Satellite U300-152: DVD Player hangs after two chapters of the film

    I have read the DVD using Windows Media Player, Media Center and Player Toshiba DVD movie but he eventually hangs and does not continue.

    I tried another DVD movie but it's the same deal, it doesn't push through. Do you think that there is a problem in the DVD-ROM or is it just the DVD movie? Anyway, it's a hacked DVD, a copy, I bought cheap in sidewalks, but I thought that the DVD-ROM of this laptop could play anything, just?

    Spare part for my ignorance. I'm new with this stuff. Ciao. Thank you.

    > Its a DVD hacked a copy I bought cheap in sidewalks, but I thought that the DVD-ROM of this laptop could play anything, just?

    That s not quite right.
    Of course, the CD/DVD drive can read different media but sometimes it possible s that the CD or DVD media can be not fully supported by CD/DVD drive. That s nothing unusual

    But it would be very interesting to know if you can watch original DVD movies. ?:|
    I mean not a copy or something like that.

    If you will be able to watch different films on DVD, then there s nothing wrong with your CD/DVD drive.

  • Impossible to control the volume

    Hello!

    Thank you!

  • Can't access to the volume when turn on Satellite

    Whenever I turn on my computer, I get the following warning may not be able to control the volume.
    I went into Control Panel audio devices and audio tab and it says there is no device

    How to solve this?

    Hey maz

    We are unable to discuss on this path. If you want to have real discussion here, and if you expect any help please let us know what model of laptop you have, and something about the installation of the operating system.

    After reading your ad, my answer is very simple:
    Installation of use recovery disk, install OS again and everything should work fine.
    I'm sorry, but who knows what you do with your laptop.

    Dear Xavier

    This sound stupid now, but fact is that for most of the problems with laptops or PC is caused by the user himself. I am 4 years old laptop too and it still works perfectly. No problem at all.
    I don't know what model phone you have and what operating system you use, but I guess you have problems on the laptop to 4 years using most recent Win7 on this subject.

    You have the same problem using the operating system supported?

  • The upgrade to Vista seems impossible on Satellite U300

    I have a Satellite U300 psu30a, I come from it.
    He had the professional vista on and I wanted to put a partition on it... Make the partitions, formatted it. And when I used the recovery CD, it just now came back to XP instead of vista.

    Tried all the different options, including the partition recovery on th hd and always ends up on the xp.
    I gave up on linux, now, I want just the vista of return... What should I do?

    Thank you!
    Charles

    Hello

    If you really want to go back to vista, then you must format the disk hard INTEGER and cleaning the MBR (master boot record) which stores the information of starting all the operating systems installed.
    The only way to do this is to enter a live linux CD (which should not be installed on the HARD drive, but I guess you that) and delete all the partition/format the entire disk. Don t forget to delete the MBR, it s important.

    Simply perform your recovery as always, and it should work.

  • The volume control on the Satellite Pro A200 with Ubuntu 7.10

    I have a Satellite Pro A200GE-1F9, I did recently to dual boot with Vista and Ubuntu 7.10. It's the first time I used Linux and most things are going well so far.

    However, the volume control (a wheel at the front of the laptop) does not control the volume correctly with Ubuntu, rather than increase the volume smoothly as with Vista, it increases in a 1/8 of maximum volume jumps, the on-screen volume control is always smooth. I think that it is at least partly due to the change of a material volume wheel, as with the latest Toshiba, I have used, for a version of software based. It controls the system volume and runs continuously, without stop at maximum or minimum volumes.

    Does anyone know how to change this change in volume for a smooth jump?

    Thanks for any help

    Hello

    given that no one here has no idea, nor pilots, nor any information about the driver from toshiba support, nobody will be able to give you some useful information.

    Have you ever google and checked the ubuntu forums? According to me, which will bring you closer the source here instead.
    So just to start to ask in the ubuntu forums because I think that someone is there who maybe has the same problem as you.

    I hope that artistry a kind of programmer. ;)

  • Satellite A200 does not correctly reduce or increase the volume

    Hello

    Our Satellite A200 is having problems with its Volume control wheel.
    If I turn the wheel (on the left or in the past), it does not correctly to reduce or increase the volume level.
    He jumps rather the volume level in seemingly random directions (with a preference for the volume).
    Turn the wheel slowly improves responsiveness a little, but it remains quite impossible to increase or decrease the volume control that to be.

    BTW, I am well aware that the volume control wheel is a wheel of puls-encoder rather than ye olde potentiometer.

    -Can anyone you tell me where I can find the configuration that is responsible for this Volume control wheel?
    -Which driver/firmware is attached to the order of the volume control?
    -How can I determine if this is a hardware or software problem?

    Advice would be welcome.

    Stephan

    Hello

    There is no software or hardware problem.
    It is a new generation of volume control.

    First of all there is no mechanical limit turning right or left.
    In addition, this volume controller works a little different than the old volume controllers. The volume can be increased and decreased using the fixed rate

    By the way;
    > Can someone tell me where I can find the configuration that is responsible for this Volume control wheel?
    You can change the volume as in the sound settings that could be found in the control panel.
    > Which driver/firmware is attached to the order of the volume control?
    Audio driver controls the volume controller.
    > How can I determine if this is a hardware or software problem?
    There is no problem

  • Satellite Pro A300 - 1 H 2 - Windows does not recognize the HARD drive

    Hello

    I'm a newbie, which has probably asked bin before so if You ' l excuse me, I have a satellite pro A300 - 1 h 2.

    I got the volume of unmountable boot blue screen, then tried to adapt to a new samsung drive. I put in my windows disc it will load all the drivers, then says that there is no hard drive?
    In the bios, it recognizes it?

    Thanks if anyone can help

    Hello

    The problem is that your laptop supports the SATA HDD controller but the system OS does not contain the SATA drivers
    You can assign in the compatible SATA mode BIOS.
    This allows you to install the operating system without installation of the SATA drivers.

  • Satellite L355-S7817 - cannot control the default voice of Narrator

    I don't seem to be able to control the default voice on my L355-S7817 with Vista home OS.
    I changed Mrs Anna parameters but Toshiba male voice starts each time I use a program that uses the voice of the Narrator.

    I even uninstalled the engine from Toshiba, SR and the application without result!
    The male voice of toshiba is still present...

    Is there some sort of setting somewhere that I can use to overcome this control over speech applications by Toshiba?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    To be honest, I've never used this feature, but I found a few useful details provided by Microsoft:

    Check this box:

  • Satellite L300 - I can't increase the volume for low battery

    Hello dear users of Toshiba

    My English is not very good.
    I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite L300
    My problem is that I can not increase the volume to a low battery

    Is there anyone who knows how can I fix it?

    thanx
    A.MARK

    Hello

    I think you want to turn on sound notification when the battery is empty.
    Is this good?

    Well, you can do it in Vista power settings
    I guess you are using the Vista operating system and therefore this battery notification can be enabled in Vista power settings.

    Please check this doc from Toshiba.
    + How to manage Windows Vista power management features.

  • Not able to download Satellite U300 Xp drivers

    Several times I tried to download Satellite U300 Windows-Xp drivers from this site, but still he stopped between the two.
    I am sure, im not behind the firewall. at the same time, I am able to download stuff from other Web sites. I tried with another pc, but the problem is the same.

    is there another way to download driver?
    is there any FTP site? or any other site Web to download driver?

    Hello

    All Toshiba laptops use the same driver of BT and so you could download the BT stack from the center of Information of Toshiba Bluetooth too.
    Visit this site to download the driver BT;
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/Bluetooth/

    But back to the driver download newsletter;
    I noticed that sometimes the server is overloaded. Check to see if you can download the drivers a little later; between 22:00 and 08:00

  • Impossible to access any network by Satellite U300

    My Satellite U300 was great networking. Then it just stopped. It will connect not with or without wire. No problem with router or son.
    Traveled all the diagnostics on Vista.

    The driver will need to be updated if it worked fine previously? Where can I get the drivers from?
    All downloadable drivers sites are just as safe? What else could be the problem?

    This error message you have exactly and have you tested on another laptop with your router?
    The problem is perhaps router not the laptop.

    New drivers, which you can download at Toshiba direct.

  • Satellite U300 - noise problems

    Just got a U300. Beautiful machine, but it's impossible to use in a silent room:

    (1) CPU fan turns on and off all the time; It is calibrated to vary with the temperature of the CPU in a really annoying way: nothing in to 51 degrees, then half speed up to 53 or two, then full blast. Thus, on how high-performance fan continues to go and turn off all few seconds if you do a normal work. So far, the only solution I found is to create a power mode that sets the State of the max processor at 8% and a minimal State to 0%, while the CPU always gets strangled if temperature rises and does never really hot. Of course, this is not satisfactory.

    (2) the hard drive making noises clicking constant (no noise search). I had this before with another laptop, and it's because of the head of parking (car parks the head immediately when it is idle, to save energy). With the other laptop, it was possible to change a setting in the bios for hard drive, disable this special energy saving feature. I was not able to do this with the U300.

    Someone has a solution or does anyone know how to communicate with the engineers from toshiba? Problem 1 is easily fixed with an upgrade of the bios setting fan behavior, problem 2 with an update of the bios hard drive, so it shouldn't take much effort I suppose.

    Thank you very much in advance for any help / comments etc!

    Hello Skymaster

    Satellite U300 is known to me because we have this laptop in our office. It is really nice for laptop and can be taken anywhere. What about these two problems described in your ad?

    Cooling fan is perhaps often turned on but, in my view, it is acceptable. Maybe I see it a little different because we use them in our office and it's not so quiet. In any case, I use two laptops from Toshiba for the moment. One with Windows XP Home edition and Vista. I got two of them to work pretty quiet using level lowest for cooling and method using balanced in Vista power management and reducing CPU utilization. On two laptops I na? poor performance of notice and I don't understand why this is not good for you. Of course, I don't know what you're doing with your laptop, but I use it for Office application and I am satisfied.

    On HARD drive, I can't write a lot because we na? t notice some serious problem. I don't think the BIOS update can change anything.

    I don't understand why you want to communicate with the engineers. They can say, this is just to thank you for your report. I don't see any sense with it. What you need to do is to contact the nearest authorized service provider. Talk with them, explain the situation. They have Toshibaa? diagnostic tools and let s check the HARD drive or motherboard even.

    Good luck!

  • Satellite U300-130 - new compatibility of SSD

    Hello

    I have laptop Toshiba Satellite U300-130 (PSU30E-03D01GPL) and I need to replace my original HDD (Toshiba MK2035GSS) Player.

    I thought about buying the SDS disc this time. V300 120 GB or Plextor M5S 128 GB Kingston

    Are they compatible with my laptop?
    With side s no problem but what about interface?

    Kingston has SATA Rev 3.0 (6 Gb/s) with backward compatibility SATA Rev 2.0.
    TOSHIBA MK2035GSS HARD drive has ATA-7/SATA1.0a/SATAII1.2 interface.

    My laptop does support SATA II and it will work with Kingston V300 without any problem?

    Thank you
    SEV

    Hello

    > Are they compatible with my laptop?
    Generally you will be able to use any SATA 2.5 SSD drive.
    I upgraded my laptop with a series of SSD Samsung 840 250 GB.
    But I don get t the full performance since my laptop computer s controller supports only SATA II (3 Gb/s), but it is no problem to recognize the SSD drive.

    > My laptop is supports SATA II, and it will work with Kingston V300 without any problem?
    Install a tool of diagnosis of hardware called Sisoft SANDRA and you will get details on your controller.

    Your comments would be appreciated
