Satellite U400 PSU44E: Impossible record with Conexant Smartaudio 221

It has been possible to record audio streams on the net with Audacity.
After an upgrade to Windows 7 and updates for the drivers it is no longer possible. The sound has disappeared. Of course, I can always save the stream off the card, but only at a very very poor quality.

It is a problem of Toshiba and sound card. I can still save on my other computer with another sound card. As I need to register to work, it is a serious problem for me, and there should be warnings when customers update.

Is there a way to get around this? Are there patches?

Hey,.

Before you start a lengthy discussion, can you please put the number of exact model of your laptop?

If you have this problem only with the new sound driver you should go back to the previous version of the driver ;)

  • HARD drive protector does not not on Satellite U400 PSU44E Win Vista Ultimate

    Hello

    I have a Toshiba Satellite U400 PSU44E

    I have install Windows Vista Ultimate Edition, with a clean install.

    I have download the good drivers for protector of HDD on Windows Vista, but an error message appears saying that the program is not compatible with this model.

    Anyone with the same problem has this problem?

    Thank you

    Hello

    I visited the European Toshiba driver page and didn t find the Vista drivers for the U400 PSU44E series.
    Are you sure that you downloaded the good HDD Protection Utility to 100%?

    At the other hand that this error message may appears because the HDD Protection Utility is not fully compatible with the ultimate edition of Vista
    I read in some messages that this might be the reason also.

  • Satellite U400-11U: no sound with HDMI output

    Hi all

    I am the proud owner of a model of satellite U400-11U PSU40E running with Windows Vista.
    Recently, I tried to view a video on my TV. To do this, I used the HDMI output of the laptop connected to the TV.

    I took care to connect the cable to the TV and only after to the laptop.
    Then use the quick access key (Fn + F5), poster image on the TV.
    Unfortunately, there was no noise.

    After some googling, I discovered that I needed to activate the HDMI audio output via the control panel of the sound.
    Unofrtunatly, when viewing, I have found no output Audio HDMI, but only speakers and another exit (whose name I forgot--sorry).

    I tried to update the video and HDMI audio drivers (I noticed that there is a HDMI audio driver in the perpipherals system, which was considered 'work' of Vista), but it changed nothing.

    So, what can I do to activate the audio output over HDMI?

    Hello

    Please see this FAQ from Toshiba:
    http://APS2.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/TSB9401B00001R01.htm

    You will find an instruction how to solve this problem... it s about Qosmio G30 but I think it should work on U400 too...

    The point is that you must set the S/PDIF audio output by default!

    And don t forget to RESTART the laptop after the change was made.

    See you soon

    I started a thread on the same subject:
    http://forums.computers.Toshiba-Europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?MessageID=126340

    So for me it sounds like this, you should try to reinstall Windows again. After that, the problem should be solved.

    Search with Google, you can find enough discussion about it. Reinstalling Windows can solve this problem.

  • Satellite U400-138: RAM works with 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz

    Hello

    I have Satellite U400-138 with 3 GB of RAM (2 + 1 GB sodimm modules)
    I have new kit 2x2gb sodimm-s Corsair PC6400(800MHz)

    When I install new modules, system reported that they are working on 667 Mhz instead of 800 MHz,
    Maybe that's the problem BIOS chipset because that support this frequency.

    Help me, what to do, to run new modules on 800 MHz?

    Hey Buddy

    I doubt that it is a BIOS problem.
    The point is that the speed of the RAM can be lowered and locked by the FSB (front side bus)
    If the FSB supports only 667 Mhz then your RAM 800 Mhz will run only at 667 Mhz

  • Satellite U400-11Z - only begins with battery connected

    Hello!

    Well, I have a Satellite U400 11Z and I was just seeing a web when suddenly my laptop died. My battery was not on my pc and I had only my laptop with the power suply. I re - connect the Power suply, I tried other connections, but nothing, my laptop does not light. I have tried with battery and was okey but my laptop does not detect the power suply so:

    -This problem might be because the Power suply (Toshiba PA3468E 19V 3, 95) was crushed?
    - Or this problem could be because my detect Notebook power suply broke down?

    How can I test the second option?

    Thank you very much and sorry for my English!

    Sergio

    Hi blux,.

    What happens if you connect the AC/DC adapter, while the laptop is turned on? If you turn off the laptop, will charge the battery?

    In my view it is difficult to say what exactly is the problem. In the best case you should ask a friend who has an adapter AC/DC compatible that you can test to determine what the problem is exactly. Otherwise go to a service provider authorized with notebook and AC/DC adapter and leave guys check it! ;)

  • Satellite U400-112: impossible to format the local drive (damaged MFT?)

    Hello!

    I had a pretty serious problem with my HARD drive.
    250 GB HARD drive
    C: 116 GB - NTFS - Windows XP (Vista initially)
    D: 1, 5 GB - NTFS - (Vista Recover?..)
    E: 117 GB - RAW (was NTFS prior to crash)

    Local drive E: MFT have been damaged because of the virus attack (I hope not because of my madness!). It's NTFS, now it's RAW. I got all the necessary data partition with program ZAR, but all my attempts to recover or just the format E: remained unsuccessful.
    None of the defective sectors found on the HARD drive. Standard Windows tool to format the disks fails: 'it's impossible to finish the formatting of E:

    Before this problem with the E: drive, I had several problems with HARD drive. I have never divided re discs, to Partition Magic from the beginning he identified incorrectly. I tried Partition Magic 7 and 8.
    Link: [error screensaver | http://cs1498.vkontakte.ru/u169802/154397/x_3a82b4fb.jpg]

    The problem is that the special programs (I tried "find and Mount") also could not identify partitions to correct the defective MFT. I thought that low-level format can help me, but I heard, that the use of all applications for other producers can probably destroy my HARD drive. Are there only special applications of Toshiba developed for such cases? Or you can advice me something else?

    Thanks for your help!

    P.S. These applications did not help me:
    Find and Mount (can't find the HARD drive)
    Acronis Recovery Expert (does not find the HARD drive)
    OnTrack EasyRecovery Professional (does not resolve the error, but help to recovery data)
    HDD Regenerator

    Thus you get back all your important data?

    I would like to just launch Recovery to restore the HARD drive to its factory condition. If the recovery fails, you can try to delete the partitions with FDISK from a startup MS-DOS disk. Free bootdisks can be found at www.bootdisk.com

    FDISK can also repair a Master Boot Record by running this command: FDISK/MBR
    But it is not 100% reliable, it could cause more harm than good.

    Hello

    You should get in touch with Toshiba ASP in your country.

    Maybe the crisis disk BIOS could contribute to reflash the ROM module otherwise it could be possible that module ROM is damaged and motherboard needs to be replaced.

  • Satellite U400 PSU44E - upgrade to 8 GB of RAM

    Hello

    I want to improve my knees to 8 GB mem.
    There are two locations for modules of memory on the MB.
    On the Toshiba site its written that a module can be improved.

    Memory modules are 1,2,4,8,16...
    How you can reach up to 8 GB of Ram when only a single slot can be improved.

    Reminder: the system comes with 3 GB of RAM:

    System memory
    3 072 (2 048 + 1 024) MB | maximum extension: 8 192 MB | technology: DDR2 RAM (800 MHz)

    Thank you & best regards

    Hello

    First of all, there are 2 memory slots that are extensible.
    Secondly if your chipset would support the 8 GB of RAM then you use modules of 2 x 4 GB of RAM for the 8 GB of RAM.

    In addition the 8 GB of RAM can be recognized by the 64 bit OS.
    The 32-bit Vista will not recognize the 8 GB of RAM but only 3.2 GB due to the limitation of the 32 bit OS!
