Virtual sound stops working - Satellite A100

Dear all

I seem to have a problem with my virtual sound on my Satellite A100. It seems to work intermittently, often it doesn't work anymore and I can't control if it is on or off. If I reboot, it can start working again, but not always. I did a factory restore of the machine that clears the fault, but after a few start-up, it starts to happen again. It doesn't seem to be a reason for the problem.

Has anyone experienced this problem and managed to work around it?

Thank you

Hello

I put t don't know if this helps but try to update the utility audio virtual ansd the audio driver. To do this, check the Toshiba driver page.

I put t know if it is interesting for you, but in this forum, I noticed that on some Satellite P100 crackling sounds/noises can be resolved by updating of all of the BIOS (v 2.1 or higher) and the audio driver.
Need to first update the BIOS

  • Satellite A60 - sound stopped working

    Satellite A60 - sound stopped working. Download driver toshiba web site - click on the sound icon's new sound update and it worked, but disappeared whenever I restarted.

    Clicked the icon of installshield and starts to install, but then an error message saying 0 x 80040303, unknown error, the Setup program ends - this happens every time.

    Tried to download any other updates, but he says that I register my cell phone, I'm sure I did and doesn't let me do once again because it is more than 6 months.

    Help!

    Hello

    Try to restore the operating system to an earlier time when everything works well. On this path, it is not easy to say why this is happening. Try also to remove sound card since the Device Manager, and then restart the device.

    All the drivers for your device, you can find on Toshiba download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/cgi-bin/ToshibaCSG/download_drivers_bios.jsp

  • Re: Satellite P100 PSPAAE - sound stopped working

    I'm on Vista Home Premium using a Satellite P100 PSPAAE. My sound doesn't work anymore, I think after an automatic update.

    I downloaded and installed the latest driver from Toshiba support but no joy, and make site back does not set it.

    MS load an older version, when I have auto update.

    Which driver should I I have installed cause I'm totally confused now. Is there a trick to install?

    I wouldn't mud autour trying to find the right software. Instead of buying everything and tell them that the sound has stopped working. They will fix it for you.

    I went through it and it turned out to be my hard drive. Could be a different default for you, but of course it took the sadness on me when I arrived at the place to fix it for me.

    Good luck.

  • Re: Satellite C660 - Sound stopped working

    I did some research online, and it seems that this is not an uncommon problem for the sound card to stop working. I tried a number of things and just uninstall the old driver and installed a new. Still nothing.

    Advice please? I'm not a geek and I just want to hear things again!

    Can you please tell us what operating system do you use?
    Are you using the original OS that you got with your laptop?
    Since when did you notice this problem?
    Have you noticed the same problem if you use headphones or external speakers?

  • Sound stops working after a period of time on my Satellite L755D - 14 M

    Hey there, I have a problem that I can't solve any how I try. Sometimes, when I play, I have sound, but all the all of a sudden it stops working, but I see no error. When I try to open a sound track through Windows Media Player, it says "year error occurred while trying to open this file through Media Player", or simillar.

    When I go on youtube, there is no sound, and there is no sound in games I play. And when I connect to Teamspeak to talk to my friends, I get an error saying that it is not able to connect to the audio device.

    I tried to update the sound card on the latest driver from Toshiba Web site through, but that did not resolve the error. The only solution I have now is to restart the computer to wait for the next time it will happen. Which I find really annoying.

    Is there than anything the people of this forum can help me with?

    Hello

    > When I try to open a sound track through Windows Media Player, it says "year error occurred while trying to open this file through Media Player", or simillar.

    I found an interesting article from the Microsoft Knowledge base where this error message is shown:
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/831430

    try to change the registry perhaps that helps

    If this does not work, I recommend using HARD drive recovery to reset the system.
    Since I m thinking its system damaged, HARD drive recovery should solve this problem.

  • Sound distortion after virtual sound installation on Satellite A80

    My sound false after that I installed virtual sound is driving me crazy. I downloaded all the drivers from toshiba.

    Hello

    Usually, the sound must be much better using this tool. I can't really explain why this happens. Try to reinstall the sound driver.

    The set comes with Windows XP Home edition at home, and I guess you are trying to install your own operating system, probably professional edition. All drivers and tools should work fine with Windows XP Home edition Professional too. Please see the installation instructions which can be also downloaded from Toshiba download site (http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/Satellite/sa80/win-xp/install-xp-na.zip). All such things must be installed in particular stopped.

    Good bye

  • Cannot install virtual surround on my Satellite A100 (PSAA8)

    I tried to install the update virtual sound vista on the download site, but when I try to install it, it gives me a massage that my computer does not support the virtual sound. Even I checked the site and it is in the supported list.

    That s strange!
    I also checked the European driver from Toshiba site and the A100 (PSAA8) unit is listed as a support.
    I think you should be able to install this virtual sound utility

    How did you install Vista drivers? Have you followed the recommendation of the installation instruction document?

    The proper installation order is important and necessary. If you will install the drivers and tools in the wrong order, another application could not work.

  • DVD playback stops on Satellite A100

    I have an A100 - model No. PSAAKKC - VA104C - which is loaded with Vista Home Basic and included Intervideo WinDVD for Toshiba B06.108 v8.0.

    When I play DVD they begin OK but after about a minute or two, playback stops and then starts, stops repeatedly. Program information page shows 1 GB of memory even though I've updated to 2 GB.

    Anyone got any ideas?

    Do you have this problem only with WinDVD or other applications like VLC or Media Player too?

    I think you should do an update of WinDVD. I searched on the site of Toshiba Canada but I didn t find updates for WinDVD.
    Search the site European Internet and the search for the Satellite A100. There is an update available and it should also work with your model.

  • Beeping sound and flashing - Satellite A100-200 at the beginning upward

    My Satellite A100-200 is three months old and stopped working. When I start there is a continuous beep and a flasher above the hard drive indicator.

    Is that what I can do or is it a warranty repair

    Hello

    stop your machine immediately, or that you have installed things before? Have you tried to remove the hard drive and if you have 2 RAM modules at least one of them?

    If all fails, you will need to give your machine a local service partner. They will then solve your problem.

  • HP Envy 15 - 3040nr Sound stopped working

    Hello

    The sound on my hp envy 15-3040nr has just stopped working. I reinstalled the sound drivers, checked to see if the speakers have been disabled in Device Manager and used the tool to troubleshoot the system and security. None of them helped. Its also not working with headphones.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    Hello

    Try the following.

    Download IDT Audio Installer on the link below and save it in your downloads folder.

    http://ftp.HP.com/pub/SoftPaq/sp56501-57000/sp56900.exe

    One time finished, open windows control panel, open Device Manager and open sound, video and game controllers.  Right click on the IDT device and select uninstall - also, you should get a command prompt to delete the current driver, check the box allow this and then proceed to uninstall.

    When you're done, shut down the laptop, unplug the AC adapter and then proceed to a "forced Reset" by holding down the power and time for 10 seconds.  When done, plug in the adapter.

    Robinet tap away at the key esc that you start the computer to launch the Start Menu, and then select f10 to open the bios menu.  Press f5 to load the default values (sometimes it's f9, but the menu below indicates the correct key), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press ENTER.  Press f10 to save the setting and still use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and press on enter.

    Allow Windows to fully - charge it will automatically load an audio driver, but let just this complete.  Then open your download folder, right-click on the IDT Installer and select "Run as Administrator" to launch the installation.  Once this done, do a right-click the speaker icon in the taskbar and select playback devices.  'Speakers and headphones' left click once to highlight, and then click the Set Default button - check if you now audio.

  • Built in web cam stopped working - Satellite A200

    The webcam integrated on my Satellite A200 stopped working yesterday and I don t know why. I have not recently installed new software, but it is not recognized when I use Skype or any other program. When you try to use the camera, an error says no camera is recognized or it's off.

    I uninstalled the driver and reinstalled several times but it didn't help.
    Please, does anyone have any ideas? (Vista OS).

    Hello

    Sorry, but it is not easy to say what the problem is here. I recommend you to roll back OS to an earlier time using System Restore tool. I'm sure that you'll be able to reuse cam.

    I cam on P200 and use it with Skype without any problem. I really hopr you will be able to solve this problem.

    Good luck!
