5.1 sound in Satellite A300 1EC

Tell me please, has that model support 5.1 sound?
If has how to turn it on? (there is no option "6 CH sound" In "Realtet HD Sound Configuration", there are only "ear-phones" and "2 CH speakers" )

Hello
According the notebook specification your notebook has an S/PDIF port. I dont have experience with this but maybe follow documents can help to get more info how it work:

  • What is the difference between Satellite A300-1EC & Satellite A300-1EG

    Why does the Satellite A300-1EC stand dearer as Satellite A300-1EG, but on configuration loses him?
    What is their substantial distinction in?
    What model of notebook can advise, in this price range?

    Hello
    Satellite A300-1EC belongs to PSAG0E group and Satellite A300-1EC to PSAG4E. When this model numbers are different that means they don't have the same hardware configuration.
    The first one has Intel 965GM (Crestline) graphic controller. The second one has ATI M82XT (256MB). The HDD capacity is not the same. The first one has 160 GB HDD and second one 250 GB.
    So that is the difference between these A300 notebooks.
    In my opinion the second one is better. You must make your decision and choose the right one.

  • No sound on Satellite A300 - Realtek High Definition Audio

    I haven't had any audio on my A300 using Realtek High Definition Audio for 4 days now.  One minute it was playing a CD just fine using Windows Media Player.  When I closed it and tried to play another CD, the next minute, the sound was gone and gave me the error code - C00D11B1, The first time this happened to me a little over a week ago, I was able to do a system restore and that fixed the problem.  However, the next time it happened, the system restore didnt' work.  It kept giving me an error message saying that it could not be completed. 
    So, since then, I have tried everything I've read in the different forums:
    1.  I've reinstalled the Realtek driver
    2.  I've checked checked the Device Manager>Realtek - it said that the device was working properly.
    3.  I've checked the volume control and volume scroll wheel.
    4.  Tried plugging in a headset, but heard no sound on that either.
    5.  System restore still doesn't work 4 days later.
    When I try to test the speakers.  I get the message "Failed to play test tone."
    I'm out of ideas and I need to get this resolved.  Any other ideas I can try?
    Thanks.

    Is this the driver you reinstalled?
       Realtek Audio Driver for Windows Vista (32/64bit) 
    System restore still doesn't work 4 days later
    Not unusual. Sometimes the restore files get corrupted. The only way to fix it is to turn System Restore off and then on again. Unfortunately, that removes all of the old restore points.
       Turn System Restore on or off

  • Satellite A300 - Stripe on the bottom of the monitor

    Hello,
    I don't why the graphic at the bottom of my monitor is completely ruined. At the bottom of the monitor it appears a 3-cm large, white and flashing stripe (half transparent, half composed of parallel tiny black horizontal lines) extending for all the width of the monitor. Plus there's a very narrow light blue, vertical line, also extending for all the height of the monitor.

    Hi andre.bo,
    Can you notice the same problem on an external monitor? I had a similar issue but after I tested an external monitor I noticed, that it was only related to the internal monitor and not the graphic card.
    Check this!!!
    Furthermore you can get all original Toshiba spare parts from an authorized service provider and the guys can fix this problem too! :)

  • Satellite A300-1OM - No sound on TV using HDMI

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-1OM, and also a Toshiba HD TV with HDMI input ports.
    I recently bought a HDMI to HDMI cable and attached the notebook to the tv and turned the tv to the HDMI channel, and the notebook confirmed this by making the 'new device attached' noise.
    However, when I try to use Fn+F5 and output to the tv, nothing happens. When I choose to use the tv as an external monitor the tv shows the external screen, though only covers the centre of the tv, just slightly larger than my notebook screen, instead of being the full screen as i'd hoped. The sound also remained on the notebook instead of through my tv speakers.
    I then tried the 'HDMI Output' software that came with the notebook, and only got the 'This is only effective when the PC is connected to a TV which supports HDMI Control through the HDMI cable' message.
    Finally I tried the graphics options by right clicking on the desktop and choosing to output to monitor, then using graphics properties I managed to increase the resolution on the TV until it almost fit the entire screen, but not fully, and again the sound only came out of the notebook.
    I am hoping to be able to watch HD video files from my laptop, but it seems that video output on my TV is still only notebook quality instead of HD as I had hoped.. I tried watching "Lost.S05E11.720p.HDTV.x264-CTU.mkv" once i'd finally output my notebook to the HD TV to an almost full screen size, but didn't recognise the difference between video on TV and on Notebook.
    Can anybody help? I've read several other similar posts, i've checked BIOS and HDMI is enabled in the display section, but still can't resolve my problem.
    Thanks!

    Hi
    >I am hoping to be able to watch HD video files from my laptop, but it seems that video output on my TV is still only notebook quality instead of HD
    > didn't recognize the difference between video on TV and on Notebook.
    Do you know what HD quality means?
    The HD TV supports an max resolution of 1280 720 px and full HD means that the TV would be able to show the HD movies using the 1920 1080 resolution.
    A simple old TV supports a resolution of 768 x 576.
    Every notebook screen is able to show the HD videos in HD quality because the display supports the same or higher resolution!!!
    Therefore you will not notice any difference on notebook or HD TV playing HD quality videos!
    Furthermore the sound is not coming through the TV speakers because you didnt choose the HDMI port as a default sound output (device).
    Check this step by step instruction:
    Click Start
    Settings
    Control Panel

  • Satellite A300-1NO - How can I record sound?

    Hello. I've got a Satellite A300-1NO machine, but I don't know how to set my sound card, because I want to record any sound that my sound card plays. For example listening an internet radio and record a track from it.
    I can only set my microphone to record it, and can't see any more opportunity. Waveout or anything else....How could i solve this problem? I've got the 6.0.1.5599 sound driver.

    Hello
    If you want to record the sound that plays the sound card you need an additional program. So its not possible to record sound only with the sound driver.
    There are many programs that can do this. I have good experience with No23 Recorder. Use Google to find it. Its freeware and easy to use.
    Furthermore there are some programs that streams internet radio and record it too. But I dont use such a program but Google can help you to find one.

  • Satellite A300 - Different sound in PSAJ4E and PSAG8E

    I have two Toshiba Satellite A300. One is A300-15K (PSAJ4E) and has Conexant driver instaled. Second is A300-20E (PSAG8E) and has Realtek Semiconductor Corporation driver.
    The sound comming from harman/kardon in the first is beautiful and in the second much worse. I tried to install Conexant drive in the second Toshiba but it doesn't work. I tried sound setup but without positive result. My system in both Toshibas is Vista 32 bit. Are there any possibilites to improve the quality of sound in the second Toshiba?
    Thanks

    >The sound comming from harman/kardon in the first is beautiful and in the second much worse.
    Satellite A300-20E support HARMAN/KARDON speakers and Realtek sound chip.
    The Satellite A300-15K supports HARMAN/KARDON speakers as well but it supports Conexant sound chip instead of Realtek sound chip.
    The Realtek HD audio manager is installed on notebooks with Realtek sound chip and can be found in control panel.
    There are different settings which could improve the sound quality.
    The Conexant sound chip does not support such HD audio manager and I think this might be the reason for the different sound.

  • Satellite A300-1J1 - Sound not working with Windows XP

    I have a problem, Yesterday I've installed WindowXP on my Toshiba Satellite A300 1J1, but no sound!
    I tried all Toshiba driver sound given on Toshiba web site but no result !
    Some can help us?

    Hello
    Your notebook has a Realtek sound chip. So you must install a Hotfix from Microsoft before you can install the drivers.

  • Satellite A300 - Series Stereo Mix not available with Conexant sound driver

    Hi . . .
    I have Toshiba Satellite A300 PSAJ0E notebook . . .
    I was useing Windows XP Professional . . .
    But I am not able to use Stereo Mix the peculiarity . . .
    I installed Conexant HD SmartAudio 221 Driver . . .
    What can I do in this subject . . .
    I thank right now . . .
    Best Regards . . .

    Unfortunately, but you cannot do much
    The point is that this is a Conexant sound driver issue. This options or setting is simply not available in Conexant sound driver and therefore the Stereo Mix port is not available and cannot be used.
    I think only an sound driver update can helps so lets wait for a update.
    Cheers mate

  • Problems with sound regulator in Satellite A300

    Hello everyone!
    I have weird problem with my sound regulator in A300. When I use "wheel" in front of laptop, next to headphones input etc., sound turns up and down very irregulary- I try to turn up the sound and it twitches around constant level of volume ending at 10% of desired level. I tried to reinstall sound drivers but it didn't work and all in all I have no idea if there are any other things I can do to fix this.
    Can anyone help me? Thanks.

    I had the same issue with my Satellite U400.
    The volume wheel controller was dirty in my case.
    I used an compressed air spray and could remove the dust between the sensors.
    This helped a little bit.
    Now the volume level does not jump too much while increasing or decreasing the volume level.

  • Satellite A300 - Hard drive sound

    Hi everyone,
    Just got a Satellite A300 out of the box and I was surprise that I can hear the hard drive spin. Is this normal ? My old machine didn't have this constant sort of hushing sound.....
    Thanks for any reply
    Otherwise nice machine

    Hello Lodnar
    I really do not know what you want to read here. Either contact your local dealer or nearest authorized service provider and clarify this. Any kind of discussion here will not help much. Do not waste your time and clarify this as soon as possible.

  • Satellite A300-129 - Sound is muted and icon does not respond

    Dear all,
    I am trying to switch on the sound of my Satellite A300-129 after I had muted it a couple of days ago, but the icon does not respond.
    When I click on the right mouse button, I can go to sounds etc., but "Open volume mixer" does not respond either. I have also tried to restart the laptop a couple of times, but that did not help.
    What can I do? Your help will be much appreciated.
    Heleen

    >How do I do that safely without risking losing sound forever?
    LOL You will not lose anything for ever. :D in worst case you will have to reinstall the OS using the Toshiba recovery disk.
    Access the device manager -> mark the sound card -> use delete button -> reboot the notebook
    After new reboot the sound driver should reinstall again and should detect the sound card.

  • How to connect my Satellite A300-1J1 to HD TV

    Hello
    I have a Toshiba laptop model Satellite A300-1J1 (which does not have a HDMi socket) & have just purchased Toshiba XV551D 40" HD tv. Want to be able to connect laptop to tv with the best picture quality possible, would a DVI to HDMI cable be better than the standard 15pin monitor to external monitor/tv cable?
    My laptop has a IEEE1394 socket, i'm presuming this is the same as a DVI socket??? (I could be wrong tho!) Also on reading the tv manual, it says unless I am connecting HDMI to HDMI, I would need a separate audio cable?
    Please advise asap, I'm looking to buy all necessary leads online rather than go shopping so want to make sure I get correct leads from the off.
    And apologies if i sound thick lol.
    Thanks

    HDMI or DVI will be the best quality.
    15pin VGA is analog and has a limited resolution.
    If your TV has speakers, you can simply use HDMI to output the sound to the TV (HDMI includes audio signals).
    If you use DVI, you will need an Audio Cable from the headphone jack on the laptop, to your Speakers/Hifi.
    IEEE1394 or FireWire is not a video connector. It is similar to a USB port, primarily used to transfer video/audio from a camcorder to your PC.

  • Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) - Hardware problems after installing win7 ultimate

    Hello and good day,
    I've installed win7 ultimate a few days ago and windows managed to recognize most of my hardware accept my build in mic and camera and another component I am not sure about what it is (Windows update automatically downloaded the sound and graphics driver for me).
    My questions are - where can find the remaining drivers and where can I get the preinstalled Toshiba tools and software? (The driver site in the Toshiba support page does not include those drivers and software)
    Thank you very much
    Roi Ben Simon

    Hi
    I have Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) too and installed Win7 Home premium and everything works perfect.
    At first I must say that I don't know where you have searched drivers and Toshiba tools and utilities because all stuff is downloadable on Toshiba support & download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
    It is logic that mic will not work if you didn't installed proper driver. Install drivers alone and not using Microsoft update. What you need are real and tested drivers and not some free drivers from internet.
    Go to Toshiba download page and install all stuff following this installations order:
    -Win7
    -chipset driver
    -storage manager
    -display driver
    -sound driver
    -modem driver
    -supervisor utility
    -infrared
    -patches
    -configfree
    -VAP
    -toshiba hardware setup
    -HDMI control
    -WLAN driver
    Everything works well but missing some drivers
    Added Vista stuff:
    -Toshiba assist - work properly
    -Card reader - installed properly
    -Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - work properly.
    -Synaptics driver

    Hello
    Im wondering that you want to upgrade to 8GB RAM... Normally 3 or 4GB should be more as enough for all applicaions at the moment.
    Anyway, as Jayjay said its not possible to upgrade to 8GB. A friend of me has a Satellite A300 and the user manual says that it can upgrade to 4GB or 2GB (depending on the chipset). So if you have a PM965/GM965/RS690M chipset you can upgrade it to 4GB. Otherwise you can only use up to 2GB.
    I have upgraded my Toshiba notebook with Kingston RAM. This is high quality RAM and has a good compatibility. I never had problems with such modules.
    Check this!!
