Satellite A505-S6973 - No sound of my laptop speakers

I own an A505-S6973 and today i lost volume on my speakers. When i jack in my headphones i get sound but without the headphones plugged in, I get no sound of my laptop speakers.
I checked device manager for software problems but everything is cleared, also, my volume is fully on.
I attempted a restore, but was unsuccessful, also i tried to uninstall and reinstall value added package but when attempting to launch the software after extracting it an error[0x8146045B] signals itself.
This morning everything seemed to work fine, the only thing i can think of, i removed windows media my network places sharing.
If this is the culprit can someone guide me on how I can re-install it. Also, the value added package issue, is there anything that can be done, because the buttong to enable/disable touchpad when depress nothing happens but if i use the function key with F9 it enables/disables.
I really hope someone can help me, it seems this is an unlucky weekend for me.

As I see, the VAP utility makes problems. The next step I advise you to do a little bit dangerous as you have to remove some elements in registry, but before
1. Make the ,,Hidden Folders,, to be seen. (Control Panel- Appearance and Personalization-Folder Options (click the , show hidden files,, and then choose ,, Show hidden files, folders,, and Apply)
2 Go to C:\Users\, here you should choose your profile name, in my case it ,, jeka,, \AppData\Local\temp\TC20020600B.temp\ Here you should see TVAP folder, remove it completely
3 Run the ,,regedit,, that found in Windows folder. Choose ,, Edit,, -,,Find,, and type in ,,toshiba value added,, In left Column you will see highlighted folder with value like 8FFFC660FB2109346A37579FE5FF81E8, delete it. restart computer.
Then, start Tvap exe, it should work now. But you should be careful working with registry, don't delete anything other

  • Satellite A505-S6973 and OS Upgrade

    Fellow toshiba laptop users,
    I'm here tonight to find out, my laptop has the touchpad and quickplay buttons and I was wondering if I were to upgrade my pc to Windows 7 would i be able to use all these features (plus eco utility and pc health monitor).
    I ask this question because currently my pc has, what is supposed to be a 500Gb harddisk, 317 GB hard disk space available but i barely have information or documents stored on my system. I can understand i have programs installed but still to occupy that amount.
    So, long story short, if i were to remove and install the Windows 7 operating system, and i installed the toshibha value added package and eco utility programs would that be all I would need to dload and install because i like this pc.
    Also can anyone with a Toshiba Satellite A505-S6973 tell me if they can the feel the breeze coming out of their laptop because my fan seems to blow slow and the temperature on my system is always high, currently FAN SPEED 90% and CPU TEMPERATURE 64%, and I hav my system configured to use low power.
    I appreciated any and all comments, suggestions and advice...

    I don't have US notebook model and cannot answer to your second question but I know for sure that Win7 works well on Satellite A500.
    Two months ago I had friends Satellite A500 at home. Originally it was preinstalled with Vista.
    I made two experiments to see how it works with Win7. At first I have upgraded it with Toshiba upgrade kit and everything was OK.
    With clean OS installation everything was OK too.
    Before you start Win7 installation please check Toshiba support page to be sure which version is fully supported. Here in Europe only Win7 64bit is fully supported.

  • Keyboard Issues on Satellite A505-S6973

    Goodday again everyone,
    Can anyone tell me if the onboard keypad on my Satellite A505-S6973 has a backlight.
    I'm watching alot of these new laptops and similar to mine, under the keypad it's white and I'm not sure if it's like that because it's supposed to light. If so, can anyone tell me.

    On Toshiba US support page I have checked notebook specification and obviously your notebook doesnt have this illuminated keyboard.
    Just for info: all illuminated keyboards have FN+Z option for enabling/disabling illumination.
    With other words small keyboard symbol will be placed on Z key.
    This option, when illuminated keyboard is in the notebook, is also available in Toshiba HWSetup tool.

    The main concern right now for me is to get my personal data and files from the computer. I still have other computer to use, so I am not so worried about start up the computer. I want to find out a way to first back up my personal data and files from the computer to an external devices, then try to fix the computer. Thank you.

    The main concern right now for me is to get my personal data and files from the computer.
    Yes, that's exactly what you should do first. Later we'll try to resurrect Windows. This is my favorite way nowadays.
     1. Prepare a thumb drive formatted in FAT32. It doesn't need to be large. This stuff only occupies 130 MB on mine.
    2. Download UNetbootin to create the thumb drive.
    3. Download a Puppy Linux .iso file for the operating system.
    4. Run Unetbootin-windows-xxx.exe and point it to the Lupu-xxx.iso file to create a bootable drive.
    5. When you power on your computer, hold down the F12 key. That should give you the opportunity to choose the boot drive.
    6. For some tips, scroll down to the following sections at this web page.

  • I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used a digital speaker

    I cannot get sound through my laptop speakers ever since I used an external digital speaker.  Cannot seem to switch back to lap top speakers in my SYSTEM PREFERENCES...only showing DIGITAL out put option

    Hi there Lutostan,
    It sounds like you have disconnected the digital audio speakers from your MacBook Pro but all you have available in your audio settings. Take a look at this info from the following article named:
    Troubleshooting issues with no audio from built-in speakers on Macs
    If the Internal Speakers option does not appear in the Output tab and your computer is not a Mac Pro, check that Digital Out is present as in the image below:
    Confirm again that all external audio devices and cables have been removed.
    Check to see if a red light is lit in the line-out port. If so, your Apple computer may need service.
    If you do not see a red light, proceed to step 5.
    If the issues persist, contact Apple support for further troubleshooting assistance.

  • Satellite A505-S6973 - OS Upgrade

    Hi all,
    I'm curious to find out has anyone attempted to upgrade their A505-S6973 satellite series laptop with windows vista home premium x64 chipset to windows 7 ultimate x64.
    I'm asking because i'd like to know if their any compatibility issues, can the system accomodate the installation and with the tvap and eco utilities do they work.
    I have to upgrade my system but i want to do a clean installation and wipe my drive means i'll loose all drivers so i'm hoping it's been done and the drivers are easy to locate for re-installation.
    Thanks for any and all suggestions, much appreciated.

  • Satellite A505-S6973 overheating and fan works often

    I hate doing this but I seem to have encountered another problem which i have been searching and reading with the hopes of correcting myself. I presently own a Satellite series laptop with an Intel Cor 2 Duo T6500 2.1Ghz processor.
    I 've been monitoring my system for performance issues andi've noticed that for sometime (unsure when) the temperature on my system has risen significantly. I'm seeing from my PC Health Monitor that my processors temperature is running at 59% and fan speed is at 78% yet when I place my hand near the cooling fins at the side of my laptop I can barely feel any breeze but a co-worker of mine has a vostro and the fan feels like it's running on NOs.
    If there is anything that can be done I'd greatly appreciate this, i'm afraid of loosing my system due to something simple that cause overheating.
    N.B. I noticed that at one time different users posted threads stating that after updating there BIOS they experienced overheating problems. If this is the cause of anywhere near it please help.

    Are you sure that your notebook is overheating?
    In my opinion you cant compare this with other notebook models because every notebook has its own cooling modules and fans and there are not standard parts as on desktop computers. Furthermore its also important which form factor your notebook has. Larger and bigger notebooks have a better cooling assembly as smaller ones.
    Anyway, in my opinion you could try cleaning your notebook using compressed air spray. This should always be done from time to time to blow out the dust from the cooling ventilators. Therefore its not necessary to disassemble the notebook.

  • How to sort out different issues on Satellite A505-S6973

    Can anyone tell me, if the warranty period on my laptop has not passed, can i return my laptop to toshiba and have all my issues sorted out. Would there be a cost to do whatever repairs software related needs be done and how i am supposed to go about it because my laptop is beginning to have all sorts of little errors, i noticed that my harddrive has 156gb used although i have about 60 gigs in use.
    A couple multimedia buttons aren't working but i touch them, my touchpad doesn't turn off with the hard button unless i turn it off using the FN key and my processor runs low but when i use a program i see it's reaching between 85 to 100% utilization.
    I really like this laptop, but the issues i'm having i highly doubt it should operate this way.

    Hi mate
    Software issues are not covered by warranty!
    This means that you will have to pay for everything if the ASP technician would not find any problems!
    This is why you should recover the notebook in order to check if its only a software related issue.
    >A couple multimedia buttons aren't working but i touch them, my touchpad doesn't turn off with the hard button unless i turn it off using the FN key
    Reinstall the VAP (value added package) and flash cards utility
    >my processor runs low but when i use a program i see it's reaching between 85 to 100% utilization.
    This is not a bug or hardware problem. You will notice this CPU behavior because the CPU supports an feature which helps to save the power and reduce the heat dissipation

  • Satellite A505-S6973 Web Cam won't turn off

    I recently signed up for Google Chat with the option to use the Video Chat feature.  Ever since I can't get the web cam to turn off, even when I'm not even logged on the Internet!  I don't like having the little light shining in my face every time I turn on the computer.
    How can I turn off the camera when I'm not using it?

    If you can get it to boot up again, I'd suggest doing a restore to out-of-box state to see if you have a hardware issue or software.  If after restoring it to out-of-box state you are still experiencing problems, it is likely hardware failure (i.e., cpu, hdd, motherboard, etc.).

  • I don't have sound on my laptop speakers, just the headphones

    My headphones work, but not the computer speakers.  Using windows 7, Pavilion DV 7-6C43.  I went to Sound and couldn't change any settings to get them to work.
    ron

    Hey Ron,
    Im assuming the speakers worked previously and they recently stopped working. I would first try a hard reset. Here is a link that will walk you through the steps on how to perform a hard reset: http://goo.gl/6mk6K
    The hard reset removes all electricity from the computer and then allows it to be reintroduced which typically resolve issues like this. Let me know how this works and if it does not resolve the issue we can go from there.
    Thanks,

    please any one can help me ?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Hi  PhiPsiVol354
    corrupted CMOS occurs when there is strange problem happen to laptop
    Not necessary that corrupted CMOS prevent laptop from booting , may laptop boot successfully but CMOS not recognize the component of your laptop like sound card or video card or any other part specification .
    so you need to load default BIOS setting to CMOS , but it fails to load default BIOS because corrupted CMOS needs to be cleared first before loading default BIOS.
    this work (clear CMOS) is done manually by connect jumbers together inside laptop motherbaord
    OR
    By using software like HIREN BOOT CD ( this is famous Repair cd ).
    follow this steps:
    1-  Search internet to find and download (HIREN BOOT CD) cd image. or ask any friend may he has that cd
       ( prefered to choice v.9.7 or v.10)
    2- If you download (HIREN BOOT CD) from internet ,Burn that cd image to cd with low writing speed.
    3-Insert that cd into cd driver ,at laptop startup press F12 to boot from cd .
    4-Menu appear , show:
       -boot from hard drive
       -boot from cd
       -load mini windows xp
    select second option ( boot from cd)
    5-another menu shows with numbers browse to find (BIOS/CMOS TOOLS)
    enter that section you will find many tools select from them (KILLCMOS).
    6-Run (KILLCMOS) tool , it will show confirmation message ( ARE YOU SURE WANT TO CLEAR CMOS),press arrow button to select (YES) , after clear cmos done , press ESC button to exit ,then press (ALT+CTRL+DEL) to reboot system , and  immediately enter to BIOS setting by press F2 .
    7-Load default setting by press (F9) and save change and exit (F10).
    8- the system restart and enter to windows .
    9- If process failed to solve the problem , Repeat it again.
    Good luck
    I hope this will solve your  problem.

  • Multiple Problems with Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop??

    Hi,
    We purchased the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980 laptop at Best Buy about a week ago.  However, we seem to be having multiple problems with it, that I wouldn't have expected from a brand new Toshiba. 
    Problems:
    Whenever I'm in Mozilla Firefox browser, it crashes 90% of the time.  Firefox was always my favorite on our previous computer, and still is, I just can't use it because it continually crashes. 
    In Outlook, whenever I try to open a message or reply, or basically any general command, it pops up an error message that says, "Could not install the custom actions," and then does whatever I'd wanted it too.  It's a pain, as we do a lot of email and calendar through Outlook.
    In Outlook, when I tried to import our Contacts, it says that we do not have the appropriate permissions to access the files.  We are the only user account on this computer.  We don't do seperate ones for each family member; we just turn on the PC.
    It seems to me like the internet crawls on this computer.  Every time we try to play a video (e.g. ABC, CNN, Youtube), it won't buffer.  It just stops and starts all throughout the video about every 3 seconds.  HUGE nuisance.  We watch a lot of videos. 
    Minor issue:  In Firefox, before it has crashed that is, on my old computer I used to be able to type "cnet" without the quotes into the address bar, and it would take me to www.cnet.com.  If it couldn't find the page, it would take me to my default search engine's page (Yahoo) with the search results.  On this one, if I type anything into the address bar (like search terms/keywords) it bring up search results with a My Start Incredimail search engine.  I want my Yahoo search engine, and I want it to find the page if it can. 
    I cannot seem to get the Aero Flick (I think) to work.  That was one of the main things I was looking forward to, but I can't figure out how to do it.
    It seems to me like the Windows Explorer freezes a lot.
    There have been multiple times when I'm typing that the keys don't work.  Like I would have to press the A key about 10 times to get it to show up on the screen once.  It's hit and miss and doesn't do it all of the time.
    This isn't a problem - just a question.  Is it best to leave the computer plugged in all of the time if it's stationary?  Or once it's fully charged, should I unplug it and let the power run down, and then re-charge it?
    **CLARIFICATION:  It's not Outlook Express, it's Microsoft Office Outlook 2007.  The one that you have to pay for.  Surely it works with 7, considering it's Microsoft?!?!
    If you can help me answer any of these problems/questions, I would really appreciate it.
    Have a safe and Merry Christmas!

    Yes, everything was fine with Firefox.  However, I have uninstalled it, and am just using Internet Explorer for now.
    Thanks for battery info...
    I'm well within the return window, but overall really like the laptop.  I've put a lot of time into it, and just want it to work right if possible.
    Thanks for the info.
    ScottinFla wrote:Concerning Firefox, have you checked your add-on list for any faulty plug-ins or extensions? Try disabling them and see what happens. Also, that search engine you mentioned may have somehow been installed on your machine. Have you checked the "Manage search engines..." window available from the search bar? Check your add-ons as well. You could always reinstall Firefox from scratch.
    As for the battery, it may not be best to continually run down the battery - followed by a long charge. Once a month or so should be fine. Otherwise, just try to give the battery some exercise every now and then.
    Are you still within the return window? Your unit may have a bad install, some bad RAM, or...
    I have the same model and it works just fine.

  • Sound and Mouse Problem on Toshiba Satellite A505 S6005 - Related?

    Hello-
    I bought my A505 back at the end of April and have had these two annoying problems that I have been trying to solve for about three plus months now.  The first started right out of the box as it were and it involves the sound "burping" at me periodically.  It's a hard sound to describe.  It's kind of like a digital croak or a stutter all rolled into one.  It now likes to do this exactly at midnight every night, when the CPU usage will spike, but I can't find anything running at that time (I don't have any virus scans, defrags, etc. set for that time).  High CPU usage normally doesn't cause this anyway - I'll be running how many programs and the sound will be fine.
    My other problem is a recent one and that is that the mouse pointer will periodically just hang up for a few seconds every so often.  It's not a battery problem (I use a wireless Logitech) seeing as I keep it well fed and I tried using a wired mouse and got the same hang up.
    Are these two problems related?  I've tried to find information on this but haven't found anything useful to me.  I've tried turning down the fancy settings on my Windows, turning of my webcam and microphone, everything.
    I would greatly appreciate any help, thanks!
