  • Satellite L755 - 1 CD a very silent sound from its speakers

    Hello

    I would ask for assistance if there is what I can do to have a very powerful sound on my new laptop Toshiba satellite L755 - 1 CD.

    I put the speakers at the highest volume possible, but sound from its speakers is very, very quiet, so I can't listen to music if I am just a few meters away from my laptop or when my friends call me on Skype.

    Sometimes I can't hear the sound if I'm not very close to the laptop. It has to be really quiet in the room that I hear music or talking to someone on Skype. The sound is not bad, just too quiet.
    It has speakers onkyo and I thing that they don't work well, or the volume control is not properly set.

    PLS, let me know if I can improve the volume elsewhere that in its volume control (I put the volume louder) or can I save somehow if my speakers are working properly.

    Thanks in advance.

    > Sometimes I can't hear the sound if I'm not very close to the laptop. It has to be really quiet in the room that I hear music or talking to someone on Skype. The sound is not bad, just too quiet.

    Have you noticed that silent sound using Skype only?
    If Yes, then I would recommend checking the settings of Skype.
    There you will find the audio options for microphone and speakers.

    In addition you can got to control panel-> sound-> the Read tab
    Here, you mark the speakers press the properties button. New window should appear and there you have to choose the levels tab. Here, you can increase the volume level too.

  • Touch screen, keyboard clicks suddenly went very soft

    I have this strange new problem in my 5130 DVP. I used to have a pretty strong STROKE keyboard clicks as I type. All of a sudden this afternoon, keyboard clicks went very soft as I type. Y at - it an adjustment to increase the volume of clicks back to normal? Thank you

    By any chance, did you recently applied Windows 8.1 1 update recently? Microsoft has decided to lower the volume of the keyboard with her, apparently after receiving requests to do so, of course, many now want it back to what it was before (or Hey, even better: a low-medium-high option!).

  • Pregnant with my Dell laptop inspiron 3537 went silent

    I just bought my new laptop a laptop DELL INSPIRON 3537 a month ago and I had no problems before. Yesterday I was with my webcam and after discussing with my friend, I closed the program and picked up the phone and went back to my room, I plugged in the charger and started playing wow, and when he started my left speaker was already dead. I tried to reinstall the drivers found on the official site of dell and tried other programs to update the driver, but none of them solved the problem. When I plug my phone to ear/head, they work very well. IM out of ideas please help me!

    Hello. When you get audio through the correct helmet but none through speakers, and reinstall the audio driver does not correct (relocation restores the default configuration and resolve any configuration problem), then it is a hardware failure and you need to contact Technical Support.

    There are 3 problems that can expose your symptoms - the speakers are disconnect, failure, or impedance detection mechanism in the headphone jack fails. If you are interested in trying to cut down you can run the tests in ePSA.

    1. reboot the computer.
    2. immediately at the Dell logo screen, start typing the key until the start time menu appears (if the computer starts Windows shut down the computer and try again).
    3. in the start time menu, press the arrow of to highlight Diagnostics, PSA + or Enter ePSA, then press to start the PSA.
    Look for a "Make Quick Check" Audio button on the lower side right of the screen of the main menu of ePSA. Press the button and check if you can hear sound from the speakers.

    If you do not "Perform Quick Check Audio" button then this. Start the PSA tests, and when he runs the test of the colors it will ask you if you see the color bars on the screen. Deliberately fail the test by not answering any (press key "n") instead of Yes. When you do this the PSA test emits a series of beeps. Listen to the beeps.

    If you do not hear the tones or beeps means that the speakers were disconnected or failed.
    If you do not hear the tones means that the speakers are working and are connected. In this case that the signal does not come by them because the circuits of detection in the headphone jack does not. When this happens, it prevents audio activation of the plug to the speakers.

    The only other 'test' for this kind of problem is to restore the laptop to original factory settings using the restore image (Dell Factory Image Restore). Who cannot tell you exactly the problem, but it does not give a positive confirmation of hardware failure.

    I'm sorry. If the laptop is still within the period of 21 days you can return. Otherwise, he must settle for a repair.

  • Color management system suddenly went haywire!

    THE PROBLEM

    I had all this work smoothly on my system so that I was getting pretty specific colors during the recording of images sRGB for viewing on the web. Then I had to go away for the weekend and took my MacBook pro with me. I work a little in Photoshop top, but has not changed the settings. When I got back to my office and an external display, I was surprised to find that all my images look inexplicably much more dark and grossly over-saturated seen in any web browser or in the preview. This is the case with any picture I've ever done in Photoshop. They all still seem fine within Photoshop, so.

    MY ATTEMPTS AT A SOLUTION

    So I thought that maybe something had gone wrong with my monitor profile. I immediately calibrate my external screen (a slab IPS with my EyeOne Display2 using ColorEyes). It did not help. All images in sRGB always seem very dark and very saturated. Here's an example (the left one is open in Photoshop).

    RGBproblem.png

    Just what went wrong? Why the sudden change and how I'll be back to what the RGB images to look just outside Photoshop?

    The photo in #23 looks identical in Photoshop CS4 and preview here (and in Safari when I slip into a Safari window open).

    That's what I'd expect from a jpeg to sRGB tagged.

    You could also save a version RGB desaturated and drag it in Safari and preview to see what is happening.

  • My page layout suddenly went south now, showing the wrong size for portrait and landscape

    The layout for FF6 changed abruptly of different dimensions for the layout and portrait screens. This does not happen on any other printable application or with other browsers.

    I went through the subject: systematic config and no there is no line item of same print.print_printer if ff still Paul, all wrong.

    The useful protrait is square and about 6 X 6 "and the landscape is the old portrait page. I can print portrait using only about 1/2 page then begins to another page.

    Went through printer settings [Brother MFC 822]-

    This does not affect any other program except Firefox.

    About: config, you don't have to reset all the settings of your printer? When you use the line filter, less is more (that is, if you simply filter by using print you will see more preferences to reset).

  • sudden loss of sound

    I have Vista and suddenly my OE emails and facebook will play is healthier, even if I checked and my speakers work.

    First thing: make sure NO volume control is cut off.  Software and physical.

    Second thing: download and install the latest software driver for your audio device from the manufacturer (of the computer or the device audio itself.)

  • My Windows Vista laptop suddenly went into hibernation mode, and I can't wake him up!

    The machine never went into hibernation before (it's about a year old and little used) and when I opened it, it was in hibernation.  I can't answer anything.   push the power button or closing this fact the black screen, but when I reopen it or press the power button, it goes to «hibernation...» "once again.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you!

    Hello lkstar,

    a. don't you make changes to the computer before the problem of hibernation on your computer?

    Often, a laptop goes into hibernation when the power is low. I suggest that you plug the laptop in charge for one when you try to turn it on.

    Plug the AC adapter and try turning on the laptop using the power button.

    I suggest that you make sure that the battery indicator indicates that the battery is charging while the computer is connected.

    You can also use the battery completely (with the AC adapter connected) and then try to turn on the laptop.

    Thank you

  • BlackBerry Smartphones screen suddenly went blank &amp; does not

    I went online to FB and I was support out of it, the screen on my Blackberry became white.  It would shut down or anything.  I did a hard reboot, but all that happens is that the white screen.  Any ideas would be more useful.  I went to AT & T where we do most of our activities, does not.  They don't have any idea... What worries me was obviously.

    Looks like you'll have to do a reload of the OS device.

    You have the latest version of the Blackberry Desktop software installed?

    You will also need to download the software of the device of the same binding.

    http://us.BlackBerry.com/support/downloads/download_sites.jsp

    Choose your carrier, and you will see the links for the Desktop Manager and the software for the device.

    After installing these, open the Fund Manager and connect your device.  It should ask you to install the software on your phone.  I'll try to help you as best I can, but I'm surprised that the store would not charge it for you.

This means that any changes you made, you have it installed, or you saved after the creation of the image of the file system will be probably lost, unless you have a recent backup of your data.
