• Satellite L500 sound quality is very low

  Bought sucessfully above and upgraded to Windows 7 to XP.
  However, the sound is terrible - hail.

  This is applicable to the CD, DVD, and especially when you listen to audio books and it is impossible to listen to the radio. Have tried to change the settings of the speakers Realtek High Def, but no difference.
  Test of Windows 'sounds' are very good and the sound from two speakers.

  Having a Statellite about 5 years old and sound is far superior.
  Not an expert and don't know where else to look to improve the quality.
  Can't believe that this is supposed to be like this.

  Thanks in advance for any help.

  Stand by.
  Your laptop is equipped with Win7 preinstalled (factory settings)?
  Have you noticed that on the first day or now after installing Win7?
  Have you tried to change the sound settings in the player you're using (compensator)?

  Compare with old notebook is not so relevant. I have 4 years old Satellite M70 with a sound and harman/kardon speakers is fabulous and much better and stronger than the newest Satellite A300.

• Satellite C50-A-19 t - very low display

  Hi I have a Toshiba Satellite C50-A-19 t Windows 8 and recently the display is almost non-existent.
  When I start the machine, I see about the Toshiba Logo and that's it – even, it is difficult to see.

  What I tried:
  (1) external Monitor - external monitor works fine (connected via VGA).
  (2) I have tried the Fn/F4 key to chang what display, tried a few settings and still nothing on the laptop screen
  (3) I have obviously checked the brightness, it's almost max.
  (4) I removed the battery and power, left computer laptop for a while, then tried to turn on the back with the battery still out - nothing else.
  (5) I googled like crazy and tried to remove the battery & power, press and hold the power button / stop for 60 + seconds, made 5 - 10 times in all, still nothing when I power on
  (6) I replaced the screen with another similar toshiba that I know works - it's exactly the same thing.

  Is there anything else that I'm missing here?

  The laptop works like a dream when connected to an external monitor... and I have removed and reloaded all drivers display, reset the CMOS, etc..

  I am confused now and it is one of the children with homework, so my ears get sore!

  PLS HELP!

  > 1) external Monitor - external monitor works fine (connected via VGA)

  It is most important information that you have provided in your message.
  In case the external monitor is OK, the GPU/motherboard should also be OK.

  From my point of few display panel (backlight) is defective.
  The backlight of the display is not working properly.

  You said that you have replaced the screen well, compatible display board?

• Very low volume on Portege R500

  The volume on my R500 (R500 - 11 c to be exact) is ridiculously low. Only with the volume at maximum (100) and using headphones I hear nothing, and even in this case, it is far too low to be useful. I can just do the test sounds to the left and then good listener when using his test detected in Control Panel-> Sound-> speakers (there no helmet to choose)-> Properties-> Advanced-> test. Unplug the headphones I hear nothing in the speakers, because of the (very low) sounds made by the fan and HARD drive. Play music (with headphones) I can just do the sounds are produced, but I can't even on what is happening.

  I tried the things mentioned in the "Satellite 5105-S901 sound is very low (even at max volume) to aid driver Toshiba ' thread without success (including the Loudness equalization).

  I am running Vista Business 32 bit and have tried the driver_audio_realtek26117B.exe, driver_audio_realtek_TC00157600B.exe and Vista_Win7_R243_x86.exe the driver files and also used the util_mute_off_25847B.exe utility.

  Enabling silent makes the already weak sounds go completely silent, so I don't think it's a matter of mute.

  Jack detection works, I can see that in the Realtek HD Audio Manager program. Using sound test of this program (Configuration of the speakers) I have to go to a completely silent, and even in this case I can't hear something on the right headphone. (I think, it's darn so low, that I could imagine I hear.)

  Decreasing the volume slider sound 100 harder almost inaudible noise similarly points out, and around 45 it is more audible even in a quiet room with headphones.

  So it seems that I somehow need to reset the audio chip in a 'normal' level Or it is broken and does not display anything more audible.

  Does anyone have ideas, what I can try next? I can boot XP or Linux, if anyone has any ideas on how to get her here, just to start. (They are silent as well, I did not like extensive tests under those as Vista).

  Hello

  According to your message, you have tried to increase the volume by using all possible options
  Have you tried to increase the volume in Control Panel-> Realtek HD audio manager?
  Check this box

  You also tried to update the Realtek audio driver.
  Did you use the Realtek page directly?
  Check it!

  If this will not help, you might try the laptop with the new system recovered

  But if this does not improve the volume, then this could be a hardware problem

• Satellite A500 - very low micro - Windows 7

  I just bought a Satellite A500-026 and although I increased the gain and the boost to the microphone up and turned on and off modes of noise control three microphone, the microphone performance is very low and essentially unusable unless we talk very loud.

  This happens with the provided standard registration program webcam and Skype. Note that the laptop came with Windows 7 installed.

  As I am 500 km the nearest reseller, can anyone who has an A500 comment on the 'power' of the microphone in their experience.

  My Bluetooth headset and MIC work fine, but it's a pain to have a webcam made marginal by running poorly built in microphone.

  Thank you
  John

  It is the same on older models of laptops. You simply have to come close to the microphone.
  For this reason, I always use headset and people who I talk to hear me perfectly.

  You know, this built-in microphones are not so perfect and you can't expect better performance and compare it with standard headphones.

  Hi, I received my new satellite L20 and I am impressed so far with it, however the sound through speakers mp3s, etc. is fine, but the sound when I plug in my headset is very low and nothing like my old laptop nec.

  Hello

  There is a blue screen during the installation of xp because the missing drivers (SATA controller).
  Could not find the driver, nor on the toshiba Web site on intels.

  Someone who can help? Thank you very much.

  Stefan

  Hello

  Satellite U400-183 seems to belong to the series of PCU44E. Right?
  The European driver Toshiba page provides the drivers for this model.
  You can find on the page of the driver for Win XP Intel Storage Manager and this package contains the SATA drivers.

  But look, man here in the forum, you can find many comments about the installation of the SATA driver why you n t use the search option?

  The best way to install the SATA drivers is the use of nLite.
  He tool free s (you can find it on the internet) and it helps you integrate SATA drivers into the Win XP disc!

  I did it and it worked for me

  Everyone is having these problems with laptops out there?

  Hi Sammole,

  Sinus a few days that I have too many Satellite P500. I must say that it s a very big book, I love it. The screen is really good and big and in my opinion the best option for games, videos and other multimedia stuff. In addition it s equipped of the fast processor and a graphics card, ideal for playing games.

  All my games work well so I put t know what has happened to you. Make sure that the eco mode isn't active, this will slow down the performance.
  Also make sure that the most recent display Toshiba driver is installed and the latest version of Microsoft DirectX.

  Also check homepage of Splinter Cell. There may be an update (patch) available who can help you. :)

• Satellite L20-101 - very low sound

  Hello

  I have a Toshiba laptop Satellite L20-101, Windows XP (Service Pack 3). Yesterday, the sound of my laptop started to play very very low.

  Drivers audio (conexant AC-link audio) seems to work fine, and I'm all set to maximum volume.
  It was sudden. One moment he was working well, and the next time I start it the sound was strangely low.

  I don't know if it's a hardware problem, or if she could we have resolved to restore the entire system with the recovery CD (I prefer not to do so).

  Any ideas? Any help?

  Thank you

  Hello

  I think you should check the sound volume using the headphones.
  If the headphones work correctly the problem might be related to internal speakers.

  But to be honest it is really not easy to say what causes this problem as I said can be faulty speaker but you should also check all possible settings and perhaps a new OS reinstall would also be a good idea.

  It would be useful to know if the sound issue would persist using the laptop with clean, factory setting.

• Re: Satellite U300 hibernates when the battery is very low

  Hello

  I bought my satellite U300 141 two weeks ago.
  The computer is not put into hibernation when the battery is very low.

  I checked the settings of vista, default 2% of the battery capacity, the laptop must Hibernate. But mine is not.
  But I noticed that the battery level does not fall below 5%. I tried to change the setting of vista from 2% to 5%, but it has no effect.

  Telephone toshiba support told me to update the package of the value 'stretched out' or something like that, but it has no impact too.
  the problem is still there.

  Anyone have an answer?
  I also tried to update the BIOS, but during the upgrade process, the software told me that I can't because I'm not the administrator of the computer, I am sure I am.

  so, if someone can help me please...

  Please check first if hibernation was enabled in Vista power options.
  Then you can assign to hibernation level up to 10%

  Maybe then your laptop will be able to enter hibernation mode

  I tried to update realtek hd audio drivers with no luck.

  any help much appreciated.steve

  Hey Buddy,

  What operating system you have installed on your laptop?
  And where did you downloaded new audio drivers? The site Web of Toshiba or Realtek page?

  In addition, it would be interesting to know the same behavior on external speakers or headphones. You can test this?
