Very low noise of satellite A75-S211

Just installed fresh Win XP Pro SP2 integrated. Support Web site of the downloaded drivers for this version of Toshiba laptop. All recognized devices, driver installed and no conflict. But...
... sound is very very very LOW! I can hear only if I put the the volume slider to the top and put my ear to the speaker. I downloaded from www.realtek.com.tw updated AC 97 driver version and the problem persists (no driver installation using setup.exe but pointing to the .inf file in the extracted folder of WDM of downloaded the driver file - I'm not fan of SW resident installed by setup.exe with driver).
I found a few posts here about problems with audio in XP SP2. It seems a common problem for Toshiba laptops in the case of XP SP2 :-(

Hello

There are many different opinions on the installation of SP2. I have two units with SP2 and I there is no problems.

I did not try to install Windows XP Home SP2 integrated edition. I installed additional SP2 and it works very well.

AFAIK the A75 is American machine. Please visit this link

    I installed the latest drivers... and I tried all the possibilities to find the solution. but still no luck.

    Please can someone tell me the solution to improve the volume.

    Have you checked the volume level on some applications or players you use?
    Remember, it is also set to the maximum level.

  • Satellite A75-S211 - 2 gb SD Card (Toshiba)

    Hello

    I have a portable Satellite A75-S211 and it does not recognize my 2 GB SD card. The SD card manufacturer is Toshiba.
    I downloaded and installed the PC card driver, but again was unsuccessful.

    Help, please.

    Try another SD card? Maybe the SD card is defective or has an error.

    As Garrett said, check your user manual if your computer supports this card.

    You will find the drivers on the Toshiba site:

  • Satellite A75-S211 is very slow

    I've been to a malware expert forum and posted Hijack this logs and this machine is more than likely own. Awhile back, we had to replace the modem due to problems of dispersal of heat (so they said) and I fear that the thing is about to fry itself now. There there, diagnostics that I can use? I've defragged and there about 79% free disk space and it is clean. Help.

    Hi Larry

    Different are many different booklets a series and it will be interesting to know than the one you have. For example I have Satellite A100 and it works fine.

    If the slow functioning of mobile I think it's mainly because of the user himself and if you have enough PC experience I'm sure you know very well what you need to do to make it faster. ;)

  • Heat and a very slow Satellite A75-S211

    I read on a post above that the air vents on the laptops can become dusty, so I vacumed both on the computer of my girlfriend (who is the computer problem here).

    Fans were executed at the top almost constantly for some time. I managed to remove three large dust balls (had to pick them across the screens). This does wonders for the fan speed that seem normal now, and I guess that heat is better, even if I haven't used the computer much more before.

    I downloaded a utility that I learned on another forum and determined that the processor was working about 40 degrees C, 104 F. I think it's maximum recommended, but I'm not sure. My questions are this (assuming the heat problem is, essentially, cured):

    is there a reduced efficiency as the computer takes to guard against overheating of the processor (I'm sure there is) and should be turned "off" once the temperature problem is solved (particularly if the question was for a long time)?

    are there programs diagnosis out there that can tell me if the processor is damaged by heat or any other cause?

    Thank you

    Hi Larry,

    Assuming you are using the Toshiba Power Management utility rather than the version of Microsoft then your laptop will usually follow a behavioral feature if the CPU is too hot.

    In general, as you have already discovered, fans will increase in speed and frequency until they work at top speed for most of the time (assuming that the power management utility is set for maximum performance). If the CPU is always too hot then the laptop is finally off himself in order to avoid any damage. However it is likely that the CPU you will get even hotter since turning off also stops the cooling fans.

    The Toshiba power management utility can also be set to change this behavior by slowing down the CPU in order to keep more expenses and thus reduce the noise caused by the cooling fans.

    After a reboot, the power management utility must return to its designated frame, which will be all you had set it initially.

    The thermal switch that controls the auto standby except in case of overheating of the CPU should have quite a high cost to ensure that the processor is not damaged.

    Kind regards

  • Satellite L50 - B fan works even if the CPU load is very low

    I recently bought a Satellite L50 - B and I made a Windows 10 updated. The problem is that the fan works even if the CPU load is very low and the noise bothers me a lot.
    I ordered the video card driver and the system tells methat driver is updated to the latest version.
    I don't know what I can do to change this sad situation.
    Please, please, could you help me solve the problem?
    Thank you very much for your support and understanding.
    I await your quick response.
    Thank you.

    What CPU temp? Probably overheating?
    Try to replace the thermal interface on the CPU. ;-)

  • 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.

  • Low noise Satellite A100-998

    Hello

    I bought a satellite A100-998 with Harman/Kardon speakers, even if the computer laptop screen at the store had a remarkably high compared to other brands, the machine I bought product a very low sound, although the dial at the front is turned to the maximum & all software orders are set to high? A

    NY suggestions? We advised me to update the audio driver, would this help (but why a laptop bought a few days ago would need to update its drivers?) and I need to update the Bios also, pls help as the low noise is upsetting to me much (not what I expected at all).

    Hello

    I think that the volume on the laptops is a matter of opinion.
    It is really not easy to tell if it s a bad or normal setting.
    Why do you offer that the sound is low? Compare you the sound properties with other laptops?

    Anyway, perhaps you're using really bad setting and only a switching of some controls would increase the sound quality.
    AFAIK the Realtek HD Sound Effect Manager has been installed on this laptop. You should find it in the control panel.

    Here, you can try to change some settings. Wave volume, volume of the CD, everything is possible.

  • Satellite L450d-11 x very low bit-rate and cracking sounds

    Hello

    first time here,

    My satellite l450d audio output looks like at a very low rate, crack etc... and when I close the lid it make a kind of feedback noise hard.
    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?

  • Satellite L20: Headset is very low

    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.

    Are there settings or anything like that, or it's just the way it is? If Yes is it possible to amplify it?

    Thanks in advance.

    Hello

    Looks like a controller in the Volume control is set at the lowest.

    Please go to Sound & Audio Devices Properties Panel controller. In the tab Volume, please select Advanced. You will find some volume controllers. Replace the secondary controller.

    Hello Leah

    These questions are often set with BIOS or update the driver. At the moment is unclear to me that there is a solution for this. Sorry, but I think we must wait to see if Toshiba will offer some updates next days, or even weeks. :(

  • Satellite A75 sound very quiet?

    I have the A75 and it works like a dream. I'm happy with it.

    One thing: the sound output is very low, very quiet. Even my MP3 player running on batteries kicking at its best.
    It's just so quiet.
    Everyone had the same problem.

    I visited the installation of Panel and hardware control and turned all the dials I know. (I'm a computer support guy, am so used to torubleshooting)

    Any comments?

    Hello

    Maybe the stupid recommendation from me, but check please button for the volume control on the right side.

  • 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
