Portege M600 - Sound issue - No audio outout device

I kinda have this exact problem with my Toshiba M600 too, it was fine till now, the sound sometimes available, sometimes "No audio output device". I initially thought it was a driver issue that I didn't manage to solve earlier. So I thought of moving forward with installing Window 7 to replace Window Vista, I didn't erase any of the recovery partition just the main one. After it's done, the audio problem still persist.
I've tried it all, using generic window drivers, Toshiba drivers for Windows 7 and Vista. Latest audio driver from the audio brand, from latest to old. Formatted a few times, done it all. Even did a full system recovery to factory setup with recovery disc, the sound still sometime works and sometime doesn't.
I can conclude this is a hardware problem and not the driver.
Just my 2 cents.

Hi MisterX, thanks for your input regardin' this.
Indeed strange, I forgot to mention I even update the BIOS. You're right, it is integrated audio, so the mobo (audio part of it :)) may be faulty.
Yes I thought so myself, if it's dead, stay dead! haha, but as you know computer stuff are weird, a little more info about the symptoms are sometimes the windows startup sound; starts a bit late, sometimes windows will start up with "Digital Output" as audio output, which doesn't produce any sound but there's no x on the speaker icon on the taskbar.
If i start the laptop up each day for the first time, 99% of the time it will have audio, from that point sometimes restarting will not have audio, and most certainly if i shutdown and turn it back on again, 100% of the time wont have sound.
I'll live with it I guess, 90% of the time it will have sound, if i don't restart it haha. But also I notice sometimes if the laptop goes to sleep or hibernate and waking it up, the sound may disappear also.
I've found a lot of similar stories, not only to Toshiba laptops. Some even mention that they have to go to hibernation 5 times to bring the sound back, which might probably work for me :)
I'm not sure but i don't think sound card for laptop exist.. there's nothing more I can do..

  • Portege M600: keyboard issue

    Hi,
    My M600 just got a tiny problem (hope so) today.
    The 'x key' doesn't function well. I need to press very hard on this key to show the letter 'x'. It seems the top-left part of this key is stuck so it leans to bottom-right when I press it. How can I fix this problem?
    I'm located in Glasgow (G4 0JQ) and not sure if there is any maintenance service office here, but simply find out the nationalwide Pick-Up & Return Service for Notebooks from website. However, I prefer to handle it face to face with the engineer in couple of minutes because I assume it's not a big deal, isn't it?
    Thanks a lot,
    Ting

    Hi Ting
    What to say? You know that the best solution is ASP and eventually keyboard exchange. I really do not believe you can fix it alone.
    I recommend you to check http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Find an ASP. You will see where the nearest ASP is. Make a call and you will see what they will say about keyboard issue.

  • No audio output device is installed - Satellite C855D-S5950 - Windows 8 64-bit

    Hello,
    I have my friend’s Toshiba Satellite C855D-S5950 with Windows 8 (64bit) that about a year old.  Some months ago the sound stopped working.  He asked me to take a look at it.  I have researched this issue and found others have encountered his problem as well. 
    Currently, the sound icon has a red x, “No audio output device is installed.”
    Things I have tried so far to try to fix this:
    I went to the Device Manager > Sound, video and game controllers. I have "Realtek High Definition Audio" listed with the little yellow caution icons on them. I have tried to disable, then enable it.  I have tried to uninstall the sound driver from the Device Manager.  I would restart the laptop, and let the driver reinstall itself, to no effect. I have tried downloading the latest drivers from the Toshiba website. I have tried un-installing the driver while in safe mode from the Device Manager.  As well as from Programs and Features.   There were no positive change to the audio though, still the same message. The Realtek driver won't finish installing and throws the error: "Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure!! [Error Code: 0x000000FF]"
    I have gone to Control Panel > Sound, under both the Playback and Recording tabs, it says "No audio devices are installed."
    My friend was previously unaware of how to restart or shut down his Windows 8 laptop (as was I until I started investigating this problem for him).  I mention this because there are no useful System Restore points to go back to for him.
    I have also tried Using the Toshiba Application Installer as well to re-install the driver after un-installing the Realtek Audio driver from Add/Remove Programs.  I went to Desktop Assist >Support Recovery > Toshiba Application Installer.
    Realtek Audio Driver 6.0.1.6743
    It loads most of the way then I get:
    "Install Realtek HD Audio Driver Failure!! [Error Code: 0x000000FF]"
    I have also tried the following links for additional troubleshooting:
    http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Audio-Sound-Knowledge-Base/Windows-8-Troubleshoot-no-sound-with-Windows...

    http://forums.toshiba.com/t5/Audio-Sound/No-Sound-quot-No-Audio-Output-Device-is-installed-quot-Tosh...
    It was also suggested in the above thread I remove the Microsoft UAA Driver, but could not find this driver on my friend’s system.
    Plugging in headphones, toggling the speaker volume controls on the keyboard has had no effect.
    My friend has also misplaced his install discs, so I am looking for any solution which does not require the install discs.
    Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    Recovery media is created from the hard drive. You can make it using Toshiba Recovery Media Creator. You can also perform a full system reset to factory defaults using the information on the hard drive without using external recovery media. That sounds like the best course of action now. To do so, use Windows+C > Settings > Power > SHIFT + Restart > Troubleshoot > Reset your PC.

  • My Ipad 2 external speakers does not work and headphones has popping sound. This all occured at the same time as my Iphone and Ipod headphones only played mono (no, the "mono" option is not on). How can there be audio issue for all these devices?

    My IPad 2 external speaker does not work and the original headphones have popping sound when used. This all occurred at the same time as my IPhone and IPod headphones only plays mono (and no, the "mono" option is not on) with the original headphones, as well as, other headphones tested.  How can there be audio issue for all these devices at the same time?
    As you may have noted from the list of Apple devices I own, I believed in the Apple and the products it was producing; but it is hard to believe from my experience and the other voices within the Apple Community that we are all experiencing the same hardware issues. Especially since I recently, I upgraded to an IPhone 4g (no, my faith in IPhone 5 series is very little) and is experiencing the same audio problem as described above. So now, I am off to the Apple store again to be told that it’s a hardware problem on new IPhone. Really? Apple, what happen to the pride in the product you were producing?

    Everyone does things a little differently. I love to "jam " along with iTunes ( or old Lp's) . Always have. That's where/how I've learned to play .
    I'm sure leonieDF is giving a proper way to jam along on a keyboard with an iTune. He blows my mind all the time with what he knows. Nuff respects to him !
    What I do is make a GB project I call "Jam With". I'll make several new tracks that are blank. Just has a few instruments named in the blank tracks. You can change those per song ...
    Because I'm not concerned about changing the pitch / key.... of the iTune or the tempo ... I can simply play along with it.
    Peace,

  • NO Audio output Device is installed as well as NO sound, video, or game tab in the device manager

     Here is the issue I had with with my Compaq F700 series laptop. The sound was working one day and then not working the next. Over the volume icon there was a big red X and the warning that  No Audio output Device is installed. I also found that there no longer was the sound, video, game tab in the device manager. It had gone missing.    
    I couldn't use most of the fixes as they require having the sound, video, game tab available and this tab was, as I said missing. I tried reinstalling the sound drivers from the manufacturer’s website as well as using the driver re-install, but at each attempt it would fail as a result of not having any audio devices installed on the computer.    
    I tried doing the system restore and rolling it back but the problem didn't get resolved. What eventually worked was restoring the system to a MUCH earlier date, like a month prior to the problem. When the restore finished the sound was still not fixed. HOWEVER, the computer OS (WINDOWS 7) needed to re-install a bunch of updates and after the updates were installed, everything was working. I suspect that the original issue was a bad update (the updates didn't install correctly) and that by rolling the system back to a time prior to the bad updates and then re-installing the update was the fix.
    With that said, if the restore option doesn’t work or can’t be done I would try looking through the add/remove programs in the control panel and uninstall the most recent system updates, then restart computer and let the updates re-install.  
    Good Luck

    Only option that I see in the BIOS is under Security.  Audio Device: Hidden or Available. It was set to available and I left it at that. Still no audio.
    Really? Nothing? This computer is one year old. Absolutely no reason for this to be happening. What a joke.

  • No sound and no audio card in device manager

    Hello!
    I have a HP Pavilion dv6710ea and my operating system is 32-bit Windows Vista SP2. Quite some time ago my optical CD/DVD drive stopped working. It simply disappeared from My Computer and the Device Manager. I've tried all the suggested fixes I found on this forum but none of them worked. But I didn't need the drive that much anyway, so after some struggle I just gave up on this issue.
    And now another such thing happened. Suddenly, I lost sound and when I hovered my mouse pointer over the sound icon at the taskbar, a pop-up showed saying "No Audio Output device is installed.". I checked the device manager, and my audio card was gone! Any attempts to detect it failed. I restored the system to the point before the problem occured, but it did not help. I tried to install the new audio drivers, but the installation failed, because the device could not have been found. Now I don't know what else can be done to try to fix this. I certainly hope it is not related with hardware failure of some kind.
    I would greatly appreciate any help on this issue.

  • Beats Audio Sound Issue

    Hi, well, like many others, im having issues with the beats audio on my LK237AV, im telling you the full history: Clean install of windows 10, after that, installed the drivers via windows update, ok at this point, lik always when i installed linux on my laptop i test the sound quality because the drivers and then, i found that the speakers near the screen works, but the one near me does not, so, i download 3 diferents packages from hp support and nothing, one of then wont install at all (not the rigth driver for me) another one installed an when i was thinking its over again, the sound its really bad, it sound like a portable FM/AM device, then, i tried with the original package for my laptop, and installed the beats audio panel, wich does not install on the other ones, but the sound was missing!. installed again the one wich work for me, and againg i have sound but **bleep** to bad, with hope, i tried with my sennheiser studio earphones and, on the first jack does not sound at all, it continues giving me sound with the speakers that works, the second jack it worked but again i think im going to throw up whe i hear that disgusting sound quality...  so here is the think, im asking for all of us the hp guys who has a hp laptop with beats audio to release a driver that works with windows 10, do not attach us with "its not supported" because its your responsability as a pc/laptop maker to release a driver that solve the problem that million of people has after upgrade the SO. thanks in advance,

    Thanks for getting back to me with that information!
    I've got a couple of things for you to try. 
    First, try updating to the latest BIOS version F.1C. Download and install F.1C. Your computer will restart on its own during the installation. Allow it to restart and test it for sound issues. If you are still having the problem, move on to the second option.
    2nd Option You have the latest audio driver version 6.10.6381.0 installed. There are two versions listed on your driver page which means some units may work better with one version or the other. Don't make any changes to the BIOS version you just installed, but roll back to the earlier audio driver version.
    To do this:
    Open Device Manager
    Expand Sound, video and game controllers
    Double-click on IDT HD Audio
    Click the Driver tab 
    If the 'Rollback' button is enabled, click that and restart the computer.
    If the 'Rollback' button is not enabled, click Uninstall, do not restart the computer 
    Download and install 6.10.6345.0 offered on this link and restart

  • HP Pavilion dv6 Windows 7 Beats Audio Sound issue

    Hi-
    I am using HP Pavilion dv6 with Windows 7 and has Beats Audio installed.It is about 9-10 months old Couple of times in the last few months, the sound just screached and then the volume on the speakers went down tremendously. I have-
    1. Confirmed that the latest drivers are in place
    2. Confirmed that all audio setting options are set right
    3. Confirmed that the device is working correctly (Through device manager)
    2-3 weeks after the first such instance, the sound came back normal without any setting changes. Now I am facing the same issue-
    1. Sound is very low on- Speaker, headphones and HDMI output
    2. Sound is very low on- Skype, Yahoo messenger
    It appears to be an hardware issue- if anyone has encountered such issue or know of any potential solutions, please share it.

    welcome to the club
    looks like there is no resolve on this problem thats why your not getting a response
    have you tried the HP recovery manager
    Click Start , type recovery into the search field, and then select Recovery Manager from the list.
    Grant permission to continue, if prompted. The HP Recovery Manager opens.
    On the Welcome to the Recovery Manager window, click the Advanced options button.
    On the Advanced options window, select Hardware driver re-installation , and then click Next .
    On the Welcome to hardware driver re-installer window, click Next .
    On the Select a driver to reinstall window, select the audio or sound driver to reinstall, and then click Next .
    Wait while HP Recovery Manager reinstalls the original audio driver, and then click Finish .
    you will probably find like me that your audio driver is not listed so you cant re-install it good luck.
    p.s when you downloaded your update driver from HP suport did you get an error message saying computer not compatible ?

  • My external audio recording device only records to the right channel.  How do I send the sound in the right channel thru the left one in Final Cut to get a full stereo sound?

    My external audio recording device only records to the right channel.  How do I duplicate the sound in the right channel and run it to the left one in Final Cut to get full stereo sound?
    I've already copied and pasted the right channel (A2) onto the left channel (A1) but that just doubled the volume on the right channel.
    For instance, when I listen to my audio with headphones it only comes thru the right one.  How do I make it so that it comes thru both headphones?

    Stereo is something else. It is a sound field where the individual elements are located through varying the amount of electrical energy for each element delivered to each channel.
    What you have is a mono source that should be panned to center. This will equally divide the signal so it will be delivered out both the L & R channels.
    Load the original clip to the VIEWER and set the PAN to 0 (zero). Delete any duplicates. They are unnecessary.

  • Audio Sync Issue streaming to IOS devices?

    Hi. We are trying to stream live content to both flash and IOS devices using the FMIS 4.5 and the stock livepkgr application. We are using the FMLE 3.2, h.264, with the main concept AAC audio codec. We have set the streamsynchronization variable in the FMLE XML setup file to "true"
    Flash player equipped devices can see the stream fine, with no audio issues. For IOS devices, the audio is in sync when you first connect, but after about 30 seconds the audio is starting to get out of sync. If I stop the playback on the Ipad, and re-start, it is in sync again, but goes out again...
    Any ideas?

    Make sure you have updated mainconcept encoder.. Here is an issue which came fixed in mainconcept plug-in version 1.0.6 .. More info at http://www.mainconcept.com/products/apps-plug-ins/plug-ins-for-adobe/aac-encoder.html
    Or use FMLE on Mac(if you have)..
