Does Qosmio F60-00Y have an Optical Audio Output (toslink\spdif)?

Does the Toshiba Qosmio F60 Australian model have an optical audio output?

Hi
I found this Toshiba page about Qosmio F60-00Y:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums//thread.jspa?messageID=194743
Unfortunately, there is nothing about SPDIF and digital output.
I found some details about European F60 series and didnt find any info about SPDIF
For me it looks like the SPDIF is not available but this is just an assumption

    Does the MBA have an optical audio out (toslink)?

    The MacBook Pro and iMacs have digital audio out routed through the headphone jack.  A physical converter (costing a few cents) must be used to connect a regular TOSLINK cable.
    The MacBook Air apparently does not have this feature.
    As to true Thunderbolt 'adaptors' I have yet to see any hit the market.  I would suggest not holding your breath while waiting for useful Thunderbolt technology to appear--one day perhaps, but not now. I would love to be proven wrong about this--I could really use the Thunderbolt<->FW800 adapter

  • Qosmio F60-00Y slow/laggish

    Hello,
    I've got a Qosmio F60-00Y notebook which is generally very fast but yesterday night at around 10:30-11:00 PM (16th September Australian Eastern Standard Time) I noticed that it was lagging - scrolling on Firefox was 'delayed' rather than smooth, so I'd scroll down and Firefox would sort of freeze for a few seconds and then I'd be down the page accordingly.
    I've done a number of things:
    -taken the battery out and put it back in
    -updated BIOS
    -vacuumed the outside vents
    -restarted numerous times
    -malware/spyware/virus checks
    -uninstalled Firefox
    All of this has seemed to improve it slightly but it's still not as fast as it was before. I uninstalled Firefox because I remembered that it had updated yesterday - I'm not sure the exact time and installed Google Chrome which is quicker, but the other applications such as Windows Media Centre are still quite slow. Even minesweeper lags slightly.
    Processor: Intel i7 2.67GHz
    RAM: 4 GB (2.98 usable)
    OS: Windows 7 32-bit
    Fan speed is a constant 60-70% according to Health Monitor, I don't know if that's normal.
    It takes longer to shut down and boot up than it used to, about a minute to boot up and then considerably longer than usual to log in and load all the things I have on start up, which isn't a lot.
    Applications take longer to load up and lag, even when I right click on some things it lags which I've never had.
    I've got no clue whether it's hardware or software. I tried the vents because I hadn't done that in a while and it gets a bit dusty as I don't move it much. The manual recommends cleaning the cooling system every few months, should I try that?
    Thanks.

    Hi buddy,
    Of course you can use this complete backup file as well but its only useful if you didnt have this problem at the time you created complete backup file because this could be a software issue.
    In worst case you must do a recovery installation (factory settings). This would wipe the whole HDD but so you can make sure if its a hardware issue or not.
    Check this!!!

  • Qosmio F60-00Y- Intel RST, TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor crash

    Hi,
    Just started having problems today with my Qosmio F60-00Y, purchased June 2010. I do have extended warranty but just wanted a quick fix since system is still operational.
    As I have lost my factory settings recovery I can not reset my system.
    It is working fine at the moment as long as I don't open both programs Intel RST, TOSHIBA PC Health Monitor.
    When I open one, system decides to freeze and fan speed accelerates and it shuts the notebook down. I have done system restore several times too and same problem still happens.
    I have reinstalled both programs from:
    http://www.mytoshiba.com.au/support/computers/qosmio/f60/pqf65a-00y002/download
    After re-installing assuming, programs will run fine again. Same thing happens, crashes and shuts down.
    I do regular virus and anti spy-wear check up with trend micro 2012 and still active every 7 days and defragment the system every 7 days.
    No viruses and spy-wear found.
    PLEASE HELP!
    thanks,
    Lem S.

    It is not easy to say how you can fix this.
    Try to remove all problematic applications, clean registry entries and try to install it again.

  • Does digital optical audio output "sleep"?

    Digital audio works fine as long as an application is actively generating audio, but when it is paused for a short while, I start static from my amplifier similar to what I hear if an optical cable is disconnected. I notice that there is no light coming out of the end of the optical cable. This was a problem in setup, as the absence of light caused me to think that the optical cable was damaged or not properly connected.
    Does the optical audio output "sleep" after a period of nonuse and lose carrier? Is there a way to keep it active all of the time?

    I've also been having this problem with my Mac mini (2009 version). Static/crackle sound over digital connection when the audio has been idle for a short while.
    It reminded me of an old problem that some PowerBook G4 users had several years ago, where the audio hardware would go to sleep to save power and there would be a delay while it woke up. I remembered that there were a coupe of utilities created to remedy this problem by playing silent noises at short regular intervals.
    I tracked down these utilities - KeepSoundAwake and SoundOn. Someone mentioned that SoundOn used a whopping 1% of CPU and showed a Dock icon, while KSA usage was usually 0% and had no Dock icon. So I decided to try KeepSoundAwake.
    Here is a link:
    http://mrfeinberg.com/KeepSoundAwake/
    So far so good. I've been crackle-free for the last several minutes since starting up the program. This is a pretty ancient application (last update was a fix for 10.3 compatibility), so there are a few things to be aware of. I now have this one non-intel-native app running constantly, which is sort of a bummer - but with 4GB, I'm not too concerned. The PrefPane that comes with it will not run at all since it is not intel-native, but the default settings are fine so that's not really a concern either. You do need to make the app a startup item so it will be running all the time.
    If I encounter any problems with using KSA with my setup, which includes running some multi-channel audio through Plex, I'll report back here.
    I do wish Apple would officially address this issue so we wouldn't need to use a 7-year-old hack!

  • Optical audio output specs

    What sample rates and frequencies can the optical audio output handle?
    Is 96kHz/24bit available?

    I am not convinced you've given a valid answer. Maybe if I elaborate a bit more...
    I have a song in iTunes that is in the Apple lossless format. The song is sampled at 96kHz/24bit.
    When I play that song via AirTunes to an Airport Express, the optical digital output of the Airport Express provides 48kHz/24bit to the input of my standalone D/A converter. It appears that somewhere between iTunes and the Airport Express the audio information is down-sampled from a 96/24 signal to 48/24 signal.
    So my original question, rephrased, is: when I play a 96/24 Apple Lossless file in iTunes, and send that song via AirTunes to AppleTV, what is the sample rate at the optical digital output of the Apple TV? Does Apple TV, like Airport Express, down-sample the digital information, or does it pass the ausio information through at the full 96/24 bitrate of the audio file?

  • Optical audio output not working on mac mini

    I have a brand new mac mini (less than a week old) that I've hooked up to my media center. Unfortunately, when I hook the optical audio output to my Pioneer receiver, I get no sound. I know the receiver decodes optical audio correctly because it does so with my DVD player and my Xbox. I have tried all 4 optical inputs on the receiver, and have tried two different optical cables, as well as 2 different optical adaptors (required by mac mini to go from TOSLINK to the mini TOSLINK output on the mac). This tells me that all signs point to the problem being with the mac audio optical output stage itself. I have called apple technical support and have had it looked at, at an apple store. Unfortunately, the apple store does not carry a device where the audio output could be plugged in to verify that no sound is delivered. Apple refuses to replace the unit because I cannot prove to them that the problem is with the mac mini and not with the pioneer receiver. I find this incredible. My first experience (and quite possibly my last) with a mac has proven to be a nightmare.
    Before I contemplate returning the unit and demanding my money back, is there any help anyone can provide....some magic bullet I've overlooked? Has anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks....

    Thanks for the reply. Yes, when I plug in the optical cable to the mac, it senses it correctly and changes from "Internal Speakers" to "Digital Out" under the sound system preferences. Also, there is definitely red light coming out of the other end of the cable. That only tells me that the "carrier frequency" of light is most probably being generated, but not that the digital audio information is being modulated on top of it.
    Any other ideas? Out there?

  • Fiber Optic Audio Output

    Fiber Optic Audio Output
    I'm very interested in purchasing a Mac Mini for home use, but as a secondary computer. I would this computer to connect to my TV and stereo. Its primary function would be a peripheral to my stereo and the internet. Having the lack of a quality stereo output is a major drawback and possibly enough of one NOT to purchase the Mini. At the minimum there should be RCA jacks, but in this day and age RCA almost seem like "floppy drives". The new G5s have fiber optic in & outs. You could remove the dial-up modem port or have a configuration that has the fiber optic output.
    I think this would be a great resource for many users, new & old. I think if enough people stir-up some noise "they" may actually pay attention to it. If you feel like this would be a good idea, please go to the Feedback link below and let Apple know.
    Thanks!

    Because of Core Audio built into Mac OS X (in versions on the mini), you can use a USB or Firewire sound output device to give digital sound straight to a hifi/surround receiver. DVD Player, VLC and others support Dolby Digital and DTS via this method.
    The downside is it takes one of your scarce USB ports. However, using a usb hub is fine - these devices work as USB 1.1 devices anyway.
    I use a M-Audio Sonica USB - a very small device, and have a toslink into my surround sound system - perfect AC-3 sound! There are a few little bugs with this Sonica device (and others) but there are plenty of instructions for getting it to work reliably with 10.4.
    Interestingly, I am also able to stream music AT THE SAME TIME digitally to an airport express, and use digital out on this to another hifi. The upshot is that I can play a movie in 5.1 sound in one room, and listen to iTunes in another room off the same device - and in neither case relying on the poor headphone port!

  • Optical audio output has stopped working - can anyone help?

    My optical audio output has suddenly stopped working. I use the Mac Mini as a music centre, so use the optical out all the time. The analogue signal works (when I plug in headphones, I can hear the music) AND I have checked my audio system by plugging another Mac mini into it and it worked.
    I can see the red laser light from the cable when I unplug it.
    I have not changed any settings.
    I presume this is a hardware failure - but it seems like a strange one as the analogue audio is working.
    Any ideas?

    try some of the usual troubleshooting steps:
    _*resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM*_
    _*resetting the System Management Controller SMC*_
    also, run _*Apple Hardware Test*_, using the installation DVD that came with the mini, to see if any hardware problems are reported.

  • IDT High Definition Audio CODEC v. 6.10.6395.​0 Upon installati​on I have very low audio output

    IDT High Definition Audio CODEC v. 6.10.6395.0.  5/21/ 2012
    Upon installation I have very low audio output!   Screen Shot    Screen Shot 2
        I have tried:
    un-installing and reinstalling the drivers.
    Installed the original drivers via HP's website sp53222 for my particular model.  HP  Pavilion HPE  h8-1070t
    Any suggestions? would be greatly appreciated.  It would appear IDT who I also emailed and they never responded is responsible for a codec pack that is not fully functional with this motherboard.
    was wir lieben meistens nicht kriegen

    Did you access the Catalyst Control Center in programs and look at the latest updates for your graphics card and make sure you didn't download the audio drivers they self install and are checked automatically each time you attempt an update for the card.
    Did you right click on the speaker in the system tray and go into recodring devices make sure everything is setup propper there sometimes they too can change.
    I'm familiar with cakewalk but never used it on Win7 its been many years since I played around with that. If you are using the onboard audio card and it has worked before and not now if I were in your situtation I would attempt to reisntall the dirvers via device manager they do sometimes become corrupt especially if you picked up any malware that was removed by your antivirus software due to the drivers and malware both reside inwindows\system32.
    After the reisntall of the drivers if the issue is not resolved I would upgrade the audio card with a  PCIe x1 component such as:
    Creative Labs SB1040 PCI Express Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio Sound Card
     http://www.amazon.com/Creative-Labs-SB1040-Express​-Blaster/dp/B000W7PNZI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1357​...
    After I paid for a real soundcard with Recording: 24-bit/96kHz and Sound Output Mode - 7.1 and bypassed my onboard audiocard I never had any issues again. My onbaord worked too in the begining for certain things than stopped mysteryously and the reinstallation became ineffective after a while so I decided the money for the tower was invested mainly in the CPU i7 the RAM and HDD.
    *** Note if you did install the audio drivers for the graphics card you will have to change the onboard audio in the BIOS from automattic to enabled. Otherwise you will have no sound at all. So never take the audio drivers for the graphics card unless you need them for DVR recording or something. The PCIe audio cards are never effected by this however only the onboard audio. Another reason onboard is a cheap way to go and HP bundles it as cheap as it can my friend.
    Good Luck again!

  • HT202730 Macbook Pro Optical Audio Output Toggles On/Off

    My Macbook Pro optical audio output seems to switch off with a loud click when sound is not playing for a few seconds.
    Then, when sound resumes, there's a delay as it switches back on.
    Is there a way to stop this toggling?
    And please don't tell me to check the connections.
    I've already tried different sample sizes and bit rates to no avail. It seems as if the system is switching something when there is no audio being played, then switching it on again. Even if the playback is only on pause.

  • Optical audio output questions

    Concerning the optical digital out:
    (A) If something's connected to this port, does doing so disable audio through the HDMI output?
    (B) Someone in an Apple store said that the optical out is 'only' for 5.1 systems. Is this correct? I wanted to connect it to a stereo D>A converter.

    sevoflurane wrote:
    If you disable the option in the audio settings menu to output Dolby Digital, then the optical output will deliver a bog standard PCM output as decoded by a typical stereo component with a D/A converter, irrespective of source material. If this option is enabled, then Dolby Digital material will be output by the ATV via the optical out and will only produce audio if the amplifier has a Dolby Digital decoder.
    I assumed this would be true, too. So I connected my ATV to a Vizio Soundbar that only allows stereo digital input with it's to slink connector, and I can't get audio to play through it. I've tried disabling Dolby in the settings. I've also tried different source material, including streaming music to it via both iTunes and airplay.
    I have confirmed that the output works with a Dolby Digital decoder I have in my stereo in the other room. Also, stereo audio plays through the HDMI port when I try connecting to another TV.
    So far, all of my tests imply that the Apple TV can't output stereo digital through the optical port.

  • Optical Audio output format?

    The Optical Audio out from my Apple TV is not being seen by my stereo. My theory is that my stereo Dolby Digital converter is old (circa ~1997? Yamaha DDP-2) and may only accept Dolby Digital AC-3. Is the Apple TV optical audio format sending a different signal? The audio is coming through HDMI to my TV just fine.

    I'm having the same problem. I have an HDMI hooked directly from Apple TV to the TV and optical audio to my receiver/dvd (sony home theater system dav-fx80). I do see a red light at the end.
    .... There's only a sound if the TV is turned on, meaning HDMI connection is working, but if I turn off the TV, audio is cut off, meaning my optical audio is not working.
    I think you have a different problem.
    In reality HDMI is probably working too well - it's probably sensing TV is off and then rather stupidly going to sleep when you're trying to play audio over optical. Is it only when TV powered off or in standby too? I need to test this but my AppleTV2 needs moving to the room with hi-fi so I can check if i have the same issue - I'm sure it used to work with TV off, AppleTV 1 does (at least in standby mode).

  • Constant crackling on USB optical audio output (Edirol UA-1D)

    I have a Edirol UA-1D USB digital optical and coax (SPDIF) audio device, hooked up by optical cable to an amp for playing music. No input is connected to the device. When the OS 10.4.5 iMac it is connected to is booted the device works fine, but after a while the output suddenly starts containing constant repetitive crackling on top of the audio. It may take 10 minutes for it to start, it may take an hour, it may even sometimes take several hours but it always starts sooner or later. Sometimes it eventually self-heals (to then start again sooner or later), sometimes not. It seems to happen randomly, there appears to be no association with any trigger event causing the noise to start.
    Stopping iTunes audio output does not fix it nor does switching the sound output device back to the internal speaker then back to the Edirol. The only thing which stops it is disconnecting the device from the USB bus then reconnecting it, or rebooting OS X.
    The same iMac can also boot MacOS 9.2.2 and Yellow Dog Linux 4.0.1. Without changing the hardware configuration I have had the Mac run MacOS 9.2.2 for a day using iTunes to play out on the same audio device, and I've had it running Yellow Dog Linux for 5 days using Amarok as the iTunes stand-in, and the Edirol has worked perfectly under both these OSs, suggesting that neither the Edirol nor the USB bus or hardware configuration is the cause of the problem.
    I have done a complete clean (volume erase) reinstall of OS 10.4 from the distribution DVD thinking that there may be some kind of corruption or 3rd party software conflict on my main 10.4 volume, but the problem still happens in exactly the same way every time when booting from the clean volume.
    I downloaded the AppleUSBAudio.kext extension source from www.opensource.apple.com, built it with extra logging enabled and installed it (it now generates lots of console logs when audio is started and stopped) to see if it logs anything when the crackling starts. It doesn't.
    Has anyone else had these kind of problems and found any solutions? Does anyone have any hints as to what might be causing this to happen and what a possible solution might be? Please don't say "switch to Linux"...
    iMac G4 800MHz Mac OS X (10.4.5)

    I have had this exact same thing happen with a completely different audio interface (Griffin PowerWave) and Tiger using Peak LE 5 with CoreAudio (which is built into Tiger). The problem, I think (sent email to Griffin just yesterday and they have not had time to respond), is that CoreAudio by default wants to control the sample rate from within Tiger (Internal Clock Source) whereas my PowerWave also wants to control the sample rate, and doesn't seem to have a way to just let the CoreAudio do the sampling (i.e. there is no choice among clock sources). Since the sampling is being controlled from two locations at once instead of letting one device be a slave to the other, they drift in and out-of-sync with each other after a while which wreaks sonic havoc. Peak LE 5 WILL work with this PowerWave interface if I set the software to use the older OS X HAL rather than CoreAudio, which I am guessing allows the PowerWave to be the sole clock source.
    If your audio interface has a CoreAudio driver available, there should be some way to select the clock source, which should hopefully cure the problem.
