Advice about crackling sound on the P100-188

Hi,
If you own a P100-188 and are experiencing crackling with windows alert sounds (you can check this by opening the sound volume on the taskbar and continually clicking on the volume adjust button), and to a lesser extent with music and other applications, it may be worth contacting Toshiba. I sent an email to Toshiba's Technical department at [email protected] explaining the problem I was having and to ask if they were aware of it, as one or two other people have experienced the same symptoms. They sent an email back asking me to contact Toshiba Global Support Centre on 0870 066 0191 in order to get further technical advice and assistance. On doing this a support assistant asked me to re-install the sound drivers, which I did with no success, the crackling sound was still apparent, as a result I'm now waiting for the courier to contact me in order to send my notebook in for repair.
The sound problem wasn't bad and I only contacted Toshiba in order to enquire if they were aware of the problem and were working towards a solution, thinking that it was driver related as it occurred while using speakers and through earphones. It seems now that it is hardware related and only repaired by open heart syrgery.
I hope this helps other P100-188 owners with the same problem.

Hi Andrej, all my dealings concerning this matter are through Toshiba Global Support Centre, they arranged to pick my machine up for repair. What is most annoying for me right now is that I've just realised that the latest drivers for the sound card came out the very same day as I sent the notebook in for repair! If the problem I was having is driver related (I'm still unsure), then it seems I couldn't have gotten more unlucky with the timing, but with my luck it's to be expected lol.
I contacted the support centre again today to enquire on the status of my notebook, and I informed the support person that new sound drivers where available for my machine. She then contacted the repair centre and informed them that new drivers where available and recommended they try them before attempting a more drastic course of action. If it turns out that the drivers do fix the problem, it appears Toshiba have went to a lot of unnecessary trouble and spent a lot of money in order to have them installed on my machine! It would appear Toshiba (at some level) where aware of sound related problems on this machine as new drivers have been released, it would also appear that support personnel have been kept in the dark, so to speak.

Exs24 crackling sound at the start of each sample

Hi
I just installed project sams true strike 1 and 2 on the exs 24 sampler on Logic Pro 8.0.2.
My problem is that every time i play a note on the keyboard there is always a popping/crackling sound at the start (attack) of the note. When i go and listen to the sample in the sample editor there is no such pop/click sound.
Is there a way to solve this problem?
I would be thankful for any advice or assumptions!

Hi Jupiter,
unfortunately we saw this message only today.
The crackles you are getting happen because the original library was developed by Project SAM using a set of samples, and then at the last minute they swapped the sample files with a different set of files without updating the instruments for the changed files.
There are several commercial libraries that unfortunately have this problem, and Project SAM is a known one.
Normally you do not see this problem in Logic, as Logic can see and fix the problem itself silently without teling you anything. When you relink your library with ExsManager, however, Logic thinks the instrument is already ok and will not fix the problem itself.
ExsManager by default will not fix this problem either, because we want the user to be in charge of what is done to his library (i.e. we do not want "magic" to be performed).
It's not a big problem anyway, and you can use ExsManager to fix this:
-start ExsManager
-switch to the advanced mode
-click the "Reset settings" button to start from safe settings
-set SampleDir and InstDir as you you need for your library (should already be set as last time you used it)
-switch to the "Options>References page and enable the "Check and fix sample format inconsistencies in instruments" and "Force refresh for all references"
-click "Analyze"
-click "Process"
... and that's it.
You do not have to do this every time: once the instruments are fixed you can relink as usual.

I need advice about being part of the Twitter Army of Awesome Help

I am grateful for the fact of Mozilla and I use Twitter a lot.
Although I am not technically competent, I do have experience of using Mozilla and Thunderbird for quite some years and am willing to share my experience.
I obviously do not want to make matters worse for questioners and need some advice about how to begin.
Is there a Forum where Folk such as me can share experiences of answering Tweets and also just be given examples how the system works, please, or might it be better for me to resign before I start rather than cause complications for anyone?

Thanks - I hope to have a check there, when I have more time, meanwhile I see that separately I have been sent an email asking for my experience etc.. -
I plan to attend to that when I am less pressed for time, it may not be for some while though - my spirit is willing but resources few, but if I just learn to do some small things it spreads the load - and I guess I have made a very small start - I have wondered about it for years but that Awesome Tweet was the prompt that got me this far!

SB Live! 24-bit external: Crackling sound at the start of au

I installed the SB Li've! 24-bit External audio device using the instructions provided, and I ran the automatic update program after installation had finished.
Then I connected my Creative Megaworks THX 2. 250D speaker system to the S/PDIF connector at the back of the SB Li've!.
Now the problem is that when ever any audio playback starts, regardless of the source(games, music, windows media player, youtube), I hear a crackling/popping sound at the start of the playback. The playback it self is clean and sounds very good, but as soon as it ends and I start another audio playback I hear that crackling/popping sound again at the start of the playback.
What's wrong ?

Help - Crackled sound using the speakers for the first time after wake up?!

I've a new white MacBook since Monday.
The problem is:
After turning on oder waking up the notebook, I want to play a sound or music. The first time the speakers are used, the sound is very weak and crackled, but after two seconds or so it's ok again.
The same happens if the first sound is the emptying-sound of the trash or every other sound.
This happens every time I start the computer.
Has anyone the same problem?
Thank you in advance!
Greetings form Switzerland

Many people have experienced this, usually when using auxiliary speakers. It happens with my desktop on booting. It's very normal.
You might find this workaround useful and effective:

Annoying crackling sound on the n96. (not the navi...

Hi, does anyone suffer from the same problem as me? If I listen to music and browse at the same time, there's an annoying crackling sound. It's not noticeable via the speakers, but it is on the headphones and line out. It only does it when I'm connected and browsing via 3g. Using wi fi doesn't cause it. I used to think it was because the phone was struggling to process the music and browsing and so I've waited to see if the new v20 firmware would fix it, but it hasn't.

Hi
I have similar problem. My laptop is connected to TV thru HDMI Cable. Video output on TV is fine, but audio (sound) is coming thru laptop only. Playback device shows "CONEXANT HD SMART AUDIO 221 Speakers" only. I am using WINDOWS 7. Please suggest solution (s).
Thanks

Has anyone successfully downloaded the latest 2.40-WIN BIOS for the P100-188?

The reason I ask is because when I try to download the file it keeps coming up empty, I'm not comfortable with updating using the traditional method, as it seems more things can go wrong during the process, and Toshiba recommends using the windows method anyway.
I don't understand it, the graphics driver they have listed as the latest version for my machine is 8.3.2.0, the one on my machine is 8.4.0.0, numbering convention states the version I have installed is the latest, so how come the 8.3 version is listed?
Plus when you download a new driver or BIOS they don't give any details on what issues the update fixes or addresses, are they hiding this information from us or just assuming we're all psychic?
Now they seem to be posting blank files as well, I know we are all human and we all make mistakes but is anybody working for this website paying attention? I sent an email to ForumModeration on the 17th of October about not being able to post as it was coming up as "profanity or inappropriate language" even though the offending piece of text was a link to a web page! 9 days later I'm still waiting on an answer, or even an acknowledgement.
I'm sorry for ranting on a bit but I can't help feeling it would be easier to get blood from a stone than a information from anyone.

Hi
Strange. View min ago I have tried to download the BIOS 2.4WIN but I was not able to unzip this folder. I think there must be a zip error. Possibly it will be fixed in the netx couple of days. Lets hope
Anyway, I have also looked for some additional information about BIOS update and release details but it seems there are no further informations about BIOS changes.
But if you click on the option more info to the right of every update you will find some descriptions. You will also find Toshiba BIOS-Update Description.
I think you should read this document before starting any BIOS updates.
I get also the profanity or inappropriate language message and I assume it happens because of the word filtering which check the message before it will be post in the forum.
Sometimes its a little bit annoying because I have to change the text but I can live with them. B-) be cool

Please advice about fast reading/writing

Hi All,
I am building a custom system for Photoshop CS6 and Lightroom 4, I know this is not a PS forum but I think the hardware experts are here.
The components I have already selected are:
i7-3930k
ASUS P9X79 PRO
64GB RAM (GSKILL)
WD Caviar Black 1TB
Since I have enough RAM the scratch disk is not something to worry about, after reading this article about SSDs for PS:
http://helpx.adobe.com/photoshop/kb/optimize-performance-photoshop-cs4-cs5.html#main_Solid _state_disks
I think a SSD is useful only when starting the applications (having them in the SSD), which is not important for me (I do it twice or three times per day). What I would like to do (and is the matter of this post) is to open and save my large pictures (700MB to 1+ GB) as kickly as posibble, is the Caviar Black a good choice or should I consider a SSD? What about a WD velociraptor? Also, I would appreciate advice about other options.
The last custom build I did was probably 8 years ago so I am not up to date with the hardware technology, I have learned a lot reading this great forum :-).
Thank you,
William Gonzales

William,
I use Photoshop CS5 and Bridge a lot and care particularly about how fast the PC can read since this dramatically impacts how fast you can process and rank lots of shots.
Bottom line...
Suggest in addition to whatever your boot drive is you configure a 2xRAID 0 7200rpm drive setup for your data. You have an extremely capable CPU and lots of RAM, so your disk speed is definitely a bottleneck.
Another alternative, although more expensive and quite a bit smaller would be one of the latest, fastest SSDs that can finally deliver on the write side. (i.e. Samsung 840 Pro and its competitors). This would be a secondary drive to whatever you have for your boot drive.
Another suggestion, is make sure you have a video card with good 2D speed. That is get one that can move lots of data; this spec. (Memory Bandwidth, often in GB/sec) is often buried since gaming and 3D features (cores, shading, memory size, etc.) are most important for most users. My video card, a GTX 480 has a memory bandwidth of 177.4 GB/sec, but probably any card with at least 80 GB/sec will probably work very well with your apps.
Regards,
Jim

Crackling sound from iTunes (iMac/10.7)

I've seen some reports of crackling with audio in iTunes from Windows users. I've noticed in the last few months (pre Lion and post Lion) that my iTunes occasionally but not always has a crackling sound with the music being played. This doesn't happen with other apps (Spotify/EyeTV). I can hear the crackling, play a different app with no crackling (same song on Spotify shows no issues) but iTunes persists.
Anyone else?

I've noticed over the last two months the same thing. I've been using iTunes for many many years and never had a problem. I am running Mac OS 10.7.2 on a 2010 27inch iMac and have ripped all my CDs which there are over 10000 songs in different bit rates. 256/320 and Apple Lossless. I only appear to have the crackling at 320 bit rate which is odd and its not every CD. I have tried re-ripping but the same issue persists. What rate are yours at?

Creative Sound Blaster Tactic3D Rage Wireless crackling sound

Tactic3D Rage Wireless crackling sound all the time when playing any sound on the headset.
Work OK on laptop and other PC in the home. Just not my PC lol. Motherboard: Zotac H55-ITX Wifi. CPU Intel i3.

Pauleley,
Welcome to the forum!
Sounds like an "interference" issue to me. Definitely not an issue with the headset as it is working perfectly fine on another machine. The transmitter operates in the 2.4Ghz frequency spectrum so you might want to check out what other devices runs on the same spectrum near to your computer (just a thought).

Nvidia MCP51 - ALC883 Audio chip: crackling sound

I got this problem for some time, i hear loud crackling sounds over the sound output when i play mp3s or movies, or any other media file, but i hear without problems the pcspeaker and the microphone works perfecrly, i can clearly hear my voice. This happens also with 1.0.15 (at least on Gentoo) driver but now i'm using 1.0.14 on this new installation of arch (i'm an arch newbie that changed from gentoo), my mainboard is an ASUS P5N-E-SLI with an integrated Realtek ALC883 soundchip, the module that alsa is using is snd-hda-intel, I don't know what autoprobing is doing, but i've tried model=3stack-6ch-dig with the same results.
Also the mixer behaves in a strange way, with no master and a headphone control with no bar but with only the unmute/mute buttons.
I think that archlinux is very good, and i'm trying it because is always at the bleeding edge of updates.
Hope i can finally fix this problem, now i'll try to recompile the kernel and install the latest alsa driver 1.0.15 from source.
Meanwhile if anyone has suggestions is very welcome!

Well i wish you luck pal, maybe it's my configuration problem, i've also thought at an irq conflict... at least you can be a tester

Any help?
I've read a lot this topic, the problem is fixed for the chip on acer notebooks, the model used is model=acer, in the 1.0.15 version the best model for the ALC883 of the ASUS-P5N-E is model=3stack-6ch-dig because is a 3 jack, 6 channel with s/pidf, but for me the problem remains, whit model=acer i totally don't have sound.
It's difficult to say that ALC832/3/8 are supported there are a lot of configurations that may cause problems for now, probably in the next alsa release theese problem will be solved.

Super weird crackling sounds from speaker

Hello .. I have just been sent an LG S1 laptop and I have installed arch on it successfully. Only thing is, main speaker doesnt work. I know its functionnal, cause I had heard it from the initial vista install. Now, the headphones jack does work. And also, I use to own a very similiar but somewhat lower end model, the LG T1, which uses basically the same drivers and all, but the sound did work on that one.
Now what worries me a bit is that from time to time ill hear odd crackling sounds from the speaker. At one point, when I was trying to make XGL work with KDM, it did it to the point I thought my laptop was gonna explode.
Anyway, the fact that the speaker doesnt play sounds I can kinda live with, might just be a configuration issue; the crackling sounds howevevr, even though they rarely happen are like nothing ive ever heard or seen or whatever and they kinda worry me. ..
any ideas guys ?
(the best way I can describe it would be like what an "explosion" sound on an old nintendo or other 1980 game console sounded like.. like a broken up saw wave .. very odd)

again if it means anything, I had an LG T1 not so long ago with relatively the same hardware for audio and I don't recall kernel 2.6.22 causing any problems. Only booboo with that one was that pluggin in headphones did not shut off the "external" speaker.
Now, since then I have gotten this new S1 model because the T1 had an unresolvable LCD screen issue and I got screwed by the vendor and its long story but they sent me this much higher end model, and the sound doesnt work on that one - but I cant compare with previous kernels because none other have ever run on this one, and I cant compare also because its not the same machine.
But like I said, the T1 and S1 probably have very different main boards, but the sound "hardware" is supposed to be the same - and one the T1, Im pretty sure that 2.6.22 gave me the sound I wanted.
Guess ill try downgrading later see if it works ... right now im planning a move to 64 bits anyway, and am waiting for the newer ati fglrx with AIGLX support to be released to do so ..

Satellite P100-192: crackling sound coming from speaker when using MSN

Hello, i have just bought this p100-192 laptop. The speakers seem to muffle ( especially whenever there is an incoming message in MSN )
Does anyone know why and a solution to it ????

Hi,
I own a Satellite P100-188 and the sound crackled in windows with driver 3.11.0.0 and BIOS 2.10, after sending the notebook back to Toshiba only for them to install driver version 3.11.0.51 I found that some sounds where not playing at all. I have come to the conclusion that the Conexant sound chip (or hardware) is just rubbish, for instance take the sound volume of the beep tone when hitting caps lock or num lock compared to the general volume, which, at full volume is barely audible!
I myself went back to using version 3.11.0.0 as I would rather have crackling sound than missing sounds. I'm considering purchasing a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA sound card as I play games a lot on my notebook. If sound is important for you, you may want to consider it too.
An eaiser way to check your BIOS version is to click Start select Run... and enter this line in the dialog box
TInTouch.exe and hit enter.
Then switch to the Protect and Fix tab and left click PC diagnostic tool, it will list all the information on your notebook.
This is how I updated my BIOS, I downloaded the win update file and unzipped it, I then ran the Phoenix Winphlash program and entered a bios backup destination and browsed to the .wph file which was in the folder that the program unzipped to, I then followed the onscreen prompts and that was it, the machine re-booted with the new bios installed.

Crackling sound while pressing the area of Micro SIM slot?

I´ve to ask the global z1 compact users about the build quality of the devices.
My first device from amazon.de had a crackling sound while pressing the area of the micro SIM card slot - amazon did an instand replace but the replacement unit also started with this issue on day after set up. I think this is not a general fault but i´m a bit angry with this issue on such an premium device.
Can you hear anything when pressing this area? what do you think about that? Will you recharge?
I´ll hope that this is not a problem for water resistance...thinking about the Z in the first times...loosing back panel...

Advice about switching to the mba

Only recently moved from windows to a mac and I'm ready to go MBA already!
I need some advice about the new MBA though please... Usually I look for reviews, youtube vids etc but can't find anything about the new MBA.
I read stories about problems with the old MBA and wanted to hear from people that have the new version.
I'm particularly worried about the stories of overheating and non-stop fan noises, taking ages to reboot etc (have these been rectified with the new MBA?).
I currently have the 2ghz and it's pretty fast, love how quickly it switches on and off and I'd hate to loose that.
Also, the MBA would become my main laptop as I couldn't possibly afford to keep both! Obviously I realise the MBA is not as powerful as the MacBook or the Pro but I'm not a heavy user, only mail, internet, youtube, itunes, ical, Office for Mac, some basic photo editing and rarely some light video editing.
I would really appreciate any insight from current new MBA users, I know things are quite subjective (ie: I think my MacBook overheats very quickly but maybe to others this would be the norm) so I wouldn't bite your head off!
sorry if this is the wrong place to post this... I couldn't find a more relevant category.

I bought the 2nd generation MBA (released last November). I purposely held off on buying the first generation because of the complaints about the overheating etc. I follow a lot of Mac forums and can tell you that any problems you heard about have been resolved.
There are always a few people that have issues with their machine - not matter what generation it is - but I would recommend the new versions to anybody that wants one.
Fan noise is very subjective. I use my MBA a for Audio Recording and production - so my fan comes on pretty fast on mine - as the software I use maxes out the processor right from the start. And here is the best way I can sum it up:
If I take the MBA with fan on into a dead quiet room - yes - I can hear the fan - and to me it sounds like blowing air out of your mouth to cool down hot food....
If I take that MBA with the fan on into the kitchen where the fridge is running - I cannot hear the MBA anymore. Or if the dishwasher is on, or the clothes dryer etc.....
I can only hear it is a dead quiet recording room. Subjective as it may be - it's perfectly acceptable to me.
I have almost never had to restart my MBA - usually only when a software update requires it - I just sleep my machine. OSX is rock solid. my MBA takes 27 seconds to load - every time. If i do need to shut down - it takes like 2 or 3 seconds.
I paid top dollar for mine when it was released and even though I could get it for $1000 cheaper now - I don't regret the money I spent. The solid MBA build and solid OSX are worth a lot to me.
If there's any more questions just post them and I'd be happy to answer.
