Equium-A100-147 - broken sound and video

Hi everyone,
I have the Equium A100-147, Its been working fine for last couple of year.
But in the last few weeks has get problem in sound and video (broken sound and video).
The sound is breaking and sometimes uable to listen + video breaking and so much delay due to its get so slow with so much sound distorsion etc..
This remains after new installation (format HDD) of Wind XP unable to fix even installed new drivers.
The Device Manager shows all drivers including audio and video working ok, d'nt know what's problem please help me.
Thanks.

Hi
Something like that can happen during high HDD activity this means that the reading/writing process could affect the sound/video playback
But usually this should not take long time
At the other hand this can happen because of higher temperature
High temperature can affect the CPU and GPU performance
I think you have used this notebook for couple of month without any troubles in my opinion you should check if cooling modules and fans are clogged and could remove the dust and debris from cooling modules use compressed air spray this helps p get rid of dust
Maybe then the notebook will run much better

  • Equium A100-147 - System slow and sound distorted

    Hi, Help needed.
    I have the Equium A100-147, been working fine for a couple of year but in the last few weeks has ground practically to a halt, takes between 5-10 mins to startup and when starting and once started the sound is as if the memory is running slow (like distorted) this even at sign in when the windows tune plays.
    Laptop has 2.5GB memory so should be plenty and 18GB free s not running low. Running XP SP2 MCE. Had zone alarm running, thinking this could be the problem have now switched to AVG, but still the same.
    CPU in use when system idle, i.e. just started with no applications running fluctuates bbetween 25 and 55%
    Any ideas on what it could be before I rebuild
    Thanks

    Hi
    I think this is a known problem of Windows that its getting slower after one year or two years ;)
    I think you should try to defragment your HDD and to delete some programs that you dont need. Then clean your system using CCleaner.
    Disable all programs in start up that you dont need.
    Furthermore you should AntiVir. In my opinion its the best freeware antivirus program that you can have.
    Last but not least you should try to update the sound driver. Check the Toshiba website for a newer version.

  • Equium A100-147 Virtual Sound reinstall problem

    I have read a few posts relating to the same problem I have, but with no definitive answer. I have the Equium A100-147 with Windows XP Media Center. I downloaded some up to date files from the Toshiba site (all for my model), including:
    acsil-xpmce-100008-en
    assist-xpmce-10300-en
    confree-xpmce-59007ab-en
    csutil-xpmce-7211006
    ctrls-xpmce-3221506-en
    display-xpmce-142004543
    fmd-xpmce-2004
    pcdt-xpmce-321u-en
    pwrsav-xpmce-70307i-en
    sdform-xpmce-2200-en
    sd-secure-xpmce-104-en
    sound-xpmce-51005253
    toupad-xpmce-10001st-en
    and then: tvs-xpmce-10312-en (latest Virtual Sound driver for the A100-147)
    I uninstalled the old version of the Virtual Sound driver before attempting to install the new one. But as I have seen elsewhere, I get the message:
    "Toshiba Virtual Sound does not support your computer."
    I have spent all afternoon looking up and trying to think of ways to fix this. I have since updated my BIOS (bios-550win). Not one thing I try will make it work. I have even deleted references to Virtual Sound in the registry in case there was any conflict going on. It has made no difference though.
    Could someone from Toshiba please explain why I am being told that I cannot install what was working perfectly well until this morning, prior to these updates, which are all for my notebook model? It's ridiculous. Apologies for my tone, but having wasted hours on this, I am extremely frustrated and just want my laptop back the way it was (and before you ask, yes, I have tried a System Restore, but that does not work either).
    Thanks,
    Mac

    I ran some report the other night... not sure if this gives a clue to anything:
    TVSASI v1.002 - TOSHiBA Virtual Sound Audio Service Information
    Caption : "Realtek High Definition Audio "
    Description : "Realtek High Definition Audio "
    DeviceID : "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0861&SUBSYS_11791205 &REV_1003\4&1E09AF89&0&0001"
    Manufacturer : "Realtek "
    Name : "Realtek High Definition Audio "
    DeviceIDName : "HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_10EC&DEV_0861&SUBSYS_11791205 &REV_1003\4&1E09AF89&0&0001"
    ProductName : "Realtek High Definition Audio "
    Status : "OK "
    Service Name for needed for TVS: "IntcAzAudAddService"
    //eof
    So the Realtek driver works fine, but still cannot installed the Virtual sound driver.

  • Equium A100-147 - Native resolution on external LCD doesn't work

    Hi,
    My Equium A100-147 has 1 VGA and 1 S-Video output, so I'm using the VGA output on a external LCD monitor with native resolution of 1680x1050@60hz, but the integrated Intel 945 graphics card doesnt give me the right resolution to choose for this monitor, the most close is 1600x1200 and some another weird widescreen resolutions that make my monitor scaling show a ugly image.
    So I tested another external monitor with native resolution of 1920x1200, and the closest resolution the Intel drivers gave me was 1920x1080, even installing both monitors drivers, removing and reinstalling the driver and even formatting the machine and reinstalling everything from zero didn't give any different results.
    I have another laptop MSI Wind with the same graphics card built in and the very same driver version, and the laptop detects both monitor and the right resolutions for them, so it's not a monitor driver problem.
    Seems for me that is a problem with the S-Video output that makes this mess, but there is no way to disable it in the BIOS or any another place in device manager I have seem yet.
    Does anyone can give me some advice for what can I do?
    Thank you!

    actually the resolutions available to external monitors here on the intel control panel are
    800x600
    1024x768
    1280x1024
    1400x1050
    1600x1200
    1856x1392
    1920x1080
    1920x1440
    2048x1536
    so it seems possible to use another widescreen resolution at least to match aspect ratio without matching the right resolution.
    I've just hooked my 1080p hdtv via VGA and I'm able to use 1920x1080 16:9 aspect ratio
    seeing this another resolutions that aren't on the manual, maybe its possible to make custom resolutions as well.
    I've tried make a custom driver using the intel ones and power strip but without success because I don't know exactly the range of frequencies to setup the driver .inf

  • Does my Equium A100-147 have an internal microphone?

    Hi,
    I can hear others during a voice chat but no-one can hear me. I have tried using an external micrphone but nothing changed. I have gone through Control Panel and tested my microphone. A sound seems to play but I can't hear anything else.
    Please respond.
    Thanks
    Sashinath

    Hi sashinath
    Happy New Year
    It seems the Equium A100-147 does not support the internal mic and therefore you have to connect the external microphone if you want to speak to everyone in the vice chat.
    You could use any microphone.
    I use a skype for communicating and I have connected a headset. Its a headphone with the microphone.
    After connecting of the external mic you should check the sound and audio options in the control panel and check if the mic was enabled.

  • Equium A100-147 - Where to find LAN ethernet driver

    Hello All,
    I am having problems to find the dirver for my ethernet controler...
    I went to toshiba website and on the LAN driver is not completed, it only comes with any application to unistall, doesnt have to install, problably missing....
    I could find on the web...
    I manage to install the wirelles, so i can use the net through that.... but i want to install the LAN as well...
    Does anyone knows where I can find the driver (LAN ethernet) Equium A100-147????*
    thank you very much...

    Hello
    Ive checked Toshiba page and your notebook is supported for several operating system. Which one do you want to use?
    Anyway, the driver is completed but you don't know how to install it. It is typical for LAN driver that there is no setu.exe file. Also do follow:
    Download the right driver and expand it on the desktop
    enter the device manager and open Ethernet properties
    choose option to install driver and browse into downloaded folder
    Thats it!

  • IOS 4.x Upgrade breaks sound and video playback

    Been fighting this issue for a while and I've hit a brick wall.
    Apparently upgrading a 2nd generation Touch to IOS 4.2.1 has broken audio and video play back.  My Touch will not play any sounds, music files, or videos, and it locks up when an alarm goes off.
    Thinking I could downgrade, I went through the motions of downloading a 3.x version of IOS as well as a copy of Tiny Umbrella.  The problem I have is to downgrade you have to save the SHSH blob (a software hash that identifies your device by chipset).  Supposedly a service called Cydia has SHSH blobs for iPhones and some iPod Touch devices, but there is no SHSH blob for my touch.  The bottom line is, I'm stuck.  My Touch is BROKEN, and Apple did it. 
    So now the question is, will Apple fix this, or are they going to kick older Touch users to the curb?  Personally I think a class action suit is in order.
    Apple....  Are you listening?  I sure hope so, but looking at their past performance in customer support, I seriously doubt they give a hoot.

    Sending a message via feedback was next on my list.  It really is a shame that Apple is so paranoid and arrogant they can't give users a way to go back to a known good OS.
    There may be a lot of MS bashing going on, but as a former MS employee, I can say that MS always gives users a way to clean up after a bad install.   I know this to be true because I worked in Desktop Systems as a Customer Support rep. and my area of concentration was Setup and Install.
    I've been building my own desktop PCs since the first IBM clones hit the streets, and this episode with IOS 4.x gives me one more reason stick with what works and leave Apple's stuff alone.....

    Help!

    Hi
    It seems that the Equium A100-147 belongs to the PSAABE.
    Please be sure that you have used and installed the right LAN driver for this series!!!
    I think the notebook uses the Intel Ekron-R(82562GZ) Chip.
    If you want you can download the Lan (Ethernet) driver from the Intel page.
    This will works for sure!!!

  • Equium A100-147 doesn't boot up - no display on screen

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Equium A100-147. When I switch it on, I can see the LED's light up but there is no display on the screen.
    I read on a previous thread on a similar model that this was fixed by resetting the computer.
    I understand there is a possibilty that this is an issue with the motherboard, however I remain hopeful that a manual reset might work.
    Can someone please tell me how this can be done??

    You could try this short and simple procedure;
    - remove the battery from the notebook
    - disconnect all external 3rd party devices and the AC adaptor
    - leave the notebook for about 20-30min
    - then connect battery and AC adaptor again
    If the notebook will not power up after this procedure then your have a serious hardware issue and only the ASP could help you.
    I dont want to make any statement about the possible faults because its always difficult to say whats wrong exactly but it looks a little bit like a mobo issue.
    Bye

  • Toshiba equium a100-147- light turns on but nothing happens - HELP

    My mum has a toshiba equium a100-147, and it doesn't appear to want to turn on. 
    The power light sometimes only comes on very dim when you pess the power button, other times it comes on bright. 
    I've tried unplugging the HDD and putting it back in, tried it with just one of the each sticks of ram in, checked that it's just a screen issue by plugging it into an external HDD, all with no luck. I did even unplug and plug the screen into the laptop itself just incase the cable came a bit loose. 
    Basically though, it does turn on, like the fans and the light comes on, but absolutely nothing else happens. The screen doesn't turn on at all.
    Anything I can do?

    That doesn't appear to be a US model, and this is the forums for Toshiba USA. You may want to contact Toshiba in your region. If it's a European model, you could check the Toshiba Europe forums.

  • Power consumption (Watt) of Equium A100-147

    Would any one know what the wattage rating on the Equium Laptop is?
    I want to buy an in car charger but there were two models in the shop one rated @ 70 Watts and the other rated @ 120 watts. Any ideas?
    Regards

    Hi
    As far as I know the Equium A100-147 supports an 15V 6A 90W AC adaptor.
    In my opinion if you want to buy a compatible car adapter you should look for the 15V - 6A compatibility!!!

  • Can a MacBook (Early 2008) Support both sound and video to 1080p HDTV by Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

    Can a MacBook (Early 2008) Support both sound and video to 1080p HDTV by Mini-DVI to HDMI cable?

    The mini dvi on the MacBook will only support video, in order to get audio you'll need to a cable from the sound out port to the sound in port on the TV.

  • How do you get sound and video from a macbook pro (before 2010) onto a 2010 toshiba 40" tv?

    Any help on connecting a macbook pro (late 2009) to a 2010 toshiba 40" for both sound and video?  I have the mini-hdmi cable, but have no idea about running sound through the tv.  I can use the headphone jack, but don't know where to connect it to on the back of the tv.  Am I supposed to change any settings on the tv or computer to allow the sound to go through the tv?  thanks for any help.

    You need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable.

  • Loss of sound and video playback on ENVY X2

    Every so often, more often than I would like, my HP Envy X2 loses sound and video playback capabilities; any ideas anybody? The concept of this machine is great and have had it for the past 9 months but this loss of sound and vision is so unpredictable and frustating...  

    Hi Brumage,
    I saw your post regarding the sound and video issues and I will be happy to help. Do you get any error messages when this happens? Have noticed if it is a particular site like YouTube or program that you are using when the issue occurs or does it occur on all programs? When you restarted the Envy X2 does the issue go away?
    I would start by suggesting that you make sure all updates have been installed through HP Support Assistant and Windows Update.
    What operating system are you running? What is your product number?
