Excessively large "Sound Mute" Notice on Toshiba 32RL900A

Having owned the 32RL900A for a couple of years, I have become disenchanted with the large size and placement of the "Sound Mute" caption on screen.
Whilst it is possible to turn the volume down so that it is inaudible and no notice is visible, this is not the most convenient method of getting rid of the message, as we use the mute control most of the time, using optical digital out to an external speaker system and an infra red transmitter and headphones, thus the need to mute the sound, as other sound sources are in use at the same time, and "mute" is a more convenient method of silencing the TV.
It occurred to me that a firmware change could alter the said "notice", it obscures messages on the screen and we find it annoying in size and placement

Thank you for your response, Francesco_1, one can always live in hope that SOMEONE in the firmware section, or the design section, whichever section is responsible for programming the TV display features, comes up with a more reasonable "notification symbol", as it is not needed to be anywhere near the size it is, because when any of the recording devices are muted and displaying THEIR notification symbol on screen, they are nowhere near the size or shape of the TV "Notification", but they do let the user know the device is muted, but then, the use of "mute" on a device feeding signal into the TV defeats the purpose, as then NOBODY can hear the sound from the TV, when they wish to do so.
I am not so sure about the firmware being in control of the on-screen messages, because when our 32RL900A was first installed, the user manual stated that the "Record" button on the remote control was "Not used on this model", but after a firmware upgrade, in the setup menu there appeared the field "Recording Setup", which enabled all the necessary features, and these features have been in use ever since, much to our delight!

  • Mic Mute Hotkey doesn't work, Sound Mute Button won't change its color [Windows 10]

    Hello everyone,
    I recently did a clean install of Windows 10 x64 on my HP Probook 450 G1 (E9Y30EA), and after installing drivers I noticed when I turn off the sound, my Mute Button won't change its color to amber (or orange, yellow, whatever), as it did in Windows 8.1 and 7.Also, another thing that's not working at all is Microphone Mute Hotkey (fn + F8). It neither turns off the microphone, nor lights up its LED. I have the latest version of HP Hotkey Support driver installed (7.0.13.1), HP Quick Launch Buttons, HP Wireless Button, installed, .NET Frameworks 2.0 and 3.0 etc.. everything is up-to-date, but it's still not working as it should. Microphone muting just doesn't work at all, and pressing (sound) Mute Button does mute sound, but its light stays white, so I often don't know whether I had the sound on or off with the glance of an eye as I used to. On the other hand, HP Wireless Button works normally, and it changes its color to amber when I press it to turn on Airplane Mode. TL;DR: Microphone Mute Hotkey doesn't work; Sound Mute Button does work, but its LED doesn't work. Is there anything I can do to fix that, or is it just a problem with driver incompatibility that would be fixed in some of the next updates? Or is it something else, like Windows 10 issue or audio driver maybe?
    Thanks in advance, pajser92

    Hi,
    First download the sound driver using the links below and save the installer to your Desktop.
    Audio Driver - Windows 7
    Audio Driver - Windows Vista
    When the download has completed, right click the installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation - ignore any warnings you may see about this being an earlier version.  When the installation has completed, restart the notebook.

  • Auto Time change, Sound mute and trying to read something before windows 7.

    Dear,
    I recently bought a MacBook Pro i7. I installed Windows 7 Ultimate through Boot Camp. But after installing i am faceing few problems as listed below:
    1: *Automatic Time change*
    When i am in windows 7 and i switch to Mac OS X the time of my Mac OS X automaticly changes every time and i have to adjust the time every time i switch from Windows 7 to Mac OS X. This problem is when i change my operatinf system from Win to Mac.
    2: *Sound Mute*
    Whenever i log into Windows 7 i always fine the sound to be mute and i always have to unmute the sound from the button.
    3: *MacBook trys to read something before Windows 7 starts booting*
    Whenever i start windows 7, before the windows 7 booting screen, there is a black screen with a gray underscore (_) which blinks for a minute or two. And after that the booting of windows 7 starts. That (_) makes me wait a lot before booting into windows 7.
    Please help me regarding these problems of mine. I even called the Apple care but they dint have any solution to it.
    Waiting for your reply.

    hi,
    I tried all the methords as u said and it dint work atoll for me. If you have a video or some kinda software which can dignolise these problems than i feel that i can do it. Neways im rely getting so ****** off that after buying such an expensive product, it cant give me complete satisfaction, I feel that apple should first make their current products perfect and then go on launching some other products. Apple shoudent lie to sell it products that windows is compatible with MacBook. I went to a authorised service center Unicorn Infosolutions Pvt Ltd situated in Mumbai,Maharashtra,India. Even they said that all these three problems cant be resolved. This is rely bad, i never thought that apple is like this!!!! i always was a fan of apple n used to always pro-vogue people to buy its products. But now i dont think so. Neways if buy chance there is some other methord or way than please tell me.

  • Time Machine on Mavericks making excessively large backups

    I recently upgraded from Mavericks from Mountain Lion. Previously when TM would backup the files, the incremental file size of each backup would be anywhere between 50Mb to 1Gb depending on my activity during that part of the day. Over all, I would have a backup history spanning 1 or 2 months (always varied).
    After upgrading to Mavericks, my backups are huge!! Averaging 7-10Gb EACH TIME!! Now my history only spans 2 days! My backup drive is small, about 500Gb so it doesn't take long to fill up with these excessively large backups.
    As a test I waited until a back up had just completed, then, with out doing anything, I would immediately initiate a back up. Again, after it prepared the back up and it started, it said the backup size was 7Gb. Normally it would be less than a couple Mb, but 7Gb!!
    I have several folders excluded (mostly folders for caches), so I can't imagine where all the sizes are coming from. I'm thinking that previously backed up files are not being properly marked as backed up and therefore are being backed up multiple times. Ideas?

    I decided to take one more look at my current backups using one of the suggested programs, Time Tracker. Low and behold, I found that my Wiki Logs for the Sever was ranging in the 6 Gb territory! Once I excluded that, it dropped it down to a much more managable 1 Gb backup. I ran it manually 3 more times after than and it dropped to 600 Mb and now on the last one 178 Mb ... that was the problem. I wonder why it wasn't recognizing the Wiki logs properly. Doesn't really matter, I don't use Wiki for my server so I don't need to back up the logs! Problem fixed!

  • Where can i find the sound driver for my Toshiba Satellite U505-S2970 ?

    Where can i find the sound driver for my Toshiba Satellite U505-S2970 ?
    Please help me. 
    Thanks

    If "Realtek High Definition Audio" is listed under the "Sound, video and game controllers" in the Device Manager then that is your sound driver. Some people have had luck with uninstalling the Realtek HD audio driver from their computer via the Device Manager (be sure to check the "Delete driver software for this "), and then reinstalling it. You can get the latest version of the Realtek HD audio driver from the Realtek download site.
    Many of us who have the Realtek HD sound driver have had to make several tweaks to improve the sound. Opening the Realtek HD Manager and enabling Loudness Equalization and setting the equalizer to Powerful helps with some of the low audio issues some of us have experienced with the Realtek HD sound drivers.

  • The sound mute button doesn't work on my HP pavilion dv6

    The finger button on the pavilion dv6 doesn't work for the sound mute button.  I'm not sure if a setting has been disabled or not. Anyone have any ideas on how to restore it ?

    Hi,
    Try the following.
    Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
    http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp48501-49000/sp48668.exe
    When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers.  Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
    When complete, restart the notebook and let Windows fully load.  Open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation.  When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the Taskbar and select Playback Devices.  Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if the mute button now functions correctly

    Why do the Iphone sounds mute when voice recording?

    Thanks for the response!  I use Display Record with various sound/video themes and would like to include them in my presentations.  For what it's worth, I will make a suggestion to Apple, to make the muting of sounds, during recording a user preference/setting.

  • Can't get large sound file to work

    Hi all,
    I just upgraded to LR 3, and now can't get a large MP3 (8MB) to work with my slide show. Is there some new limitation on size? Something I am doing wrong. My plan is to just use a single slide to hitch a 1-hour "radio" show, create an MP4 to upload to youtube. I will embed this on my client's website -- so that I have a streaming thing. Get it?
    Thanks in advance for any answers.
    Pam

    The sound file is an MP3, and the little alert dealie shows, saying the file is not a valid music file -- even though it worked in LR1. (I just couldn't save the slide show as an MP4, that's why I upgraded.)

  • How to get waves maxx audio, dolby sound room for other toshiba laptops?

    Hi, I have a A205-S5803 toshiba notebook that previously had vista , then xp, now windows 7 32 professional. I had a problem with xp where the sound volume was quite low even though turned up all the way. However, when I installed windows 7 professional and i think the realtek hd audio driver from toshiba the sound quality/volume greatly, greatly improved. I barely have the volume up below 50% and it is really loud. I even have some cool features-waves maxx audio and dolby sound room which greatly improve volume and sound quality.
    I also have a nb305-410bn notebook which is running same windows 7 professional 32 bit but the sound quality is so low and the volume is low too even though settings are to the max. I installed the realtek official drivers which didn't help either. So I thought i would install the drivers from my other notebook since they helped improve the quality of that one. The sound did go up but I didn't get those features the wave and dolby. So I'm wondering has anybody any knowledge of how to enable install those features?

    What to say dude. Seems to be something wrong with any system files or registry entries
    Why you change something if you have no problems?!
    Take my advice and never change a running system ;)
    So now to your problem and some hints how to solve this stupid issue!
    I would recommend restoring the OS to the early time point. Use the Microsoft tool called system restore.
    Possibly you know this tool from the early MS XP OS.
    You should find it somewhere in the Accessories.
    If this procedure does not help you could use the Toshiba recovery CD and could install the whole OS again!!!
    But before you will perform the installation from the recovery CD dont forget to backup your important data!!! ;)
    Bye

  • Why does the sound mute on my 3rd gen iPad for no apparent reason?

    The sound occasionally mutes and the only way it seems to bring it back is to power down and then power back up again.  Has anyone else experienced this and possibly knows why this happens?

    It may be the wifi or your internet speed.
    The newest iPad works best on a 5 ghz wifi.   If you have an older router and modem you may need to update your equipment.

  • Where is the sound/mute tool?

    my new imac all in one desk top has no sound...where is mute button

    Please look in System Preferences - Sound and ensure it hasn't been set to mute and the volume is set at least mid way.
    BTW you have 90 days of free AppleCare telephone support. I'd recommend a call if my solution doesn't help .  You can find the number by Googling "AppleCare phone number."

  • Re: Qosmio F20 - No sound card driver on Toshiba support site

    I had to format my HDD in my Qosmio F20-137. Then I have reinstalled operative system (XP) and all drivers I found on Toshiba support site. But I can't find any driver for the sound card and thus my PC is now soundless (except the beeps from the PC speaker).
    Where do I find the right driver?
    Regards
    Pellegram

    It is very easy to find the driver. You must search in archive and check for drivers listed for WXP MCE.
    Anyway, the right sound driver you can find HERE .
    Please send some feedback if everything is ok.
