External speakers at Qosmio G20-106

Hello,
I know it is a stupid question! but, where do I plug the external speakers? Is it the same input like the headphones?
Thank you very much?
JO

Hi
On the left side of the unit you can find the Headphone (S/PDIF) jack. This jack lets you connect digital speakers or stereo headphones (16 ohm minimum). When you connect digital speakers or headphones, the internal speakers are automatically disabled.
This jack can be used also as S/PDIF jack and enables connection of optical digital correspondence apparatus.
Best regards

  • Qosmio G20-106 cooling system problem

    I bought Qosmio G20-106 with XP Media Center and other cool stuff in Vienna a few days ago, and brought it home (Sarajevo, Bosnia&Herzegovina) yesterday and turned it on for the first time. It worked perfectly for first ten hours. After that I constantly get the message about "Cooling system problem" and to repair my notebook, and click OK.
    My CPU temperature is 57C most of the time, and it raises up to 70-80C max. I also hear cooling fans running from time to time.
    The system sometime slows down, but most of the time it works fine and fast.
    Please give me some advice what should i do, cause I cannot take it back to Vienna just for this!
    Thank you!

    Hello Dario
    I am very often on this forum but I have never heard about this problem on Qosmio notebook. I really dont know why this happen. Please check this page http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_gaspLocator.jsp?pf=true .
    There you can find an Authorized service partner in Sarajevo. Try to contact them and explain this issue with your Qosmio. I hope that they can help you. If not you must exchange it someday by dealer where you bought it.
    If you find out more about this problem please let me know why this happen. I am very interested about that.
    Good luck!

  • Qosmio G20: How to get higher screen resolution on external 22" monitor

    I have a Qosmio G20 and today I bought a Samsung 226BW external screen. The Samsung has a max/optimal resolution of 1680x1050px. The Toshiba manual sais the laptop supports an external screen resolution up to 2048x1536 ...
    I have now tried all kinds of settings, but the highest resolution I get on the external monitor is 1440x900 (- same as the laptop).
    1440x900 on the 22" screen is not enough for serious picture editing; it simply looks unsharp.
    What am I doing wrong? I deeply appreciate any answers/feedback; because if 1440x900 is all I can get, I have to take the xternal monitor back to the store ...
    if anyone is so kind !?
    Espen.

    Hi
    The available screen resolution depends on the graphic driver. You cannot choose the favorite resolution of 1680x1050 because the graphic card driver doesnt support it.
    Maybe a graphic driver update could helps.
    By the way; a inf file should be supplied by the monitor manufacture. You can install such file making right click and choosing install.

  • External speakers do not turn off Qosmio x770 speakers

    When I plug external speakers on my Qosmio x770-135 the internal speakers don't turn off.
    Can someonee help me?

    You may check the Realtek HD Audio Manager in the Control Panel.
    In the top right corner, there's a little yellow folder called "Connector Settings.
    There, you could enable the setting "Enable pop-up dialog, when device is plugged in".
    Now when you plug in an external speaker or headphones, it pops up and I select the option "headphone" (instead of "line-in"), and then the sound comes out only through the headphones/ext.speaker.

  • Connecting to Surround Sound (Qosmio G20)

    I am trying to connect my Qosmio G20 to my external surround sound sysytem via an amp.
    As far as I know I have connected everything correctly, but I am only getting sound from my left speakers front and rear, no where else.
    I have checked the speakers and all the settings I can think of on the laptop, is there something I am not doing in order to send the signal to all the speakers??

  • Qosmio G20 Vista drivers? Not needed to install Windows Vista

    Hello,
    I am new at this forum. My name is Francisco and I live in Brazil. I own a Toshiba Qosmio g20_105 and it is running Windows Vista Ultimate EN RTM 6000 without problems.
    To do this, you must perform a fresh install of Windows Vista. The drivers for network (Intel PRO100),for audio (Soundmax), for TV (Toshiba PCI Tuner), modem (toshiba modem), Alps pointing device are installed directly from microsoft. You must install Toshiba nvidia display driver, Toshiba Bluetooth (monitor and stack), Toshiba texas flash media driver, toshiba RAID (driver and utilities), toshiba remote control manager and ConfigFree for Windows Vista.
    You must have the Toshiba RAID drivers to install from the windows Vista DVD. Otherway, Windows does not recognize Toshiba RAID 0 and RAID 1.
    Below some pictures of my G20 Desktop screen:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen1.jpg
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen2.jpg
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen3.jpg
    And here is an example of using deskscapes animated backgrounds with Windows Vista, called dreamscene.
    It is in paused mode
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/myqosmiog20screen4.jpg
    To perform a fresh install of windows Vista:
    Please, download the Toshiba RAID drivers from here:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/raid.rar
    1. Copy the contents of this archive onto a floppy disk, CD, DVD, or USB flash drive.
    2. Insert your Microsoft Windows Vista Edition Bootable DVD.
    3. Power on your computer and press F12 to display the boot menu.
    4. Choose the option to boot from the CD/DVD drive.
    5. On the first setup screen, choose your language options then press "Next".
    6. Press "Install Now".
    7. Type in your Product Key then press "Next".
    8. Accept the license terms by checking the box then press "Next".
    9. When asked "What type of installation do you want", press "Custom (advanced)".
    10. When asked "Where do you want to install Windows", make sure your media containing the Toshiba RAID drivers is connected to the computer, then click on "Load Driver".
    11. Browse to the location you have copied the RAID drivers to then press "OK".
    12. Setup will return to the previous screen, but it will show that you have selected the TOSHIBA RAID driver.
    13. Make sure the TOSHIBA RAID driver is selected then press "Next".
    14. Continue the installation of Windows Vista as normal.
    Now you will need the Toshiba drivers for your Qosmio G20:
    See the Device manager info:
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/qosmiodrivers1.jpg
    Drivers:
    1. SD memory controller
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/SD_memory.rar
    2. Bluetooth monitor and stack
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_mon.rar
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/bluetooth_stack.rar
    3. Nvidia display driver GeForce Go 6600
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/nvidia97.52.rar
    4. Texas FlashMedia controller
    http://www.rabayjr.com/vista/drivers/flasmedia.rar
    And finally the Toshiba utilities:
    Toshiba Configfree
    Toshiba Assist
    RAID utilities
    Remote control manager
    Toshiba SD Memory utilities
    That's it...
    So I must tell to you that Toshiba Qosmio G20 is Windows Vista Ultimate capable, indeed.
    Hope this helps people who need and want to install Windows Vista Aero on their Qosmio G20 machines.

  • Qosmio G20-102: RAID problem when installing windows xp media center

    First I didn't find the raid driver for my qosmio. I tried another Qosmio G20's RAID driver but when it reachs the stage when I ask windows to format the C driver it shows me an error. It says that it finds an error in the file KR10N and it ends there.
    please help me and thank you.

    Hi
    It seems that the Qosmio G20-102 belongs to the PQG20E series.
    Searching on the Toshiba European driver page I found the RAID driver v1.03.0008 for Windows XP MCE (can be used also with XP Pro).
    You will need an external USB FDD to include this driver into the OS.
    But note; after the RAID driver installation you shouldnt format the HDD or create a new partition because this will delete the RAID driver from the HDD and the OS installation fails!
    I hope I could help you would also appreciate a feedback ;)
    Best regards

  • AV cable from Qosmio G20 to Mini HiFI Stereo System Speaker

    Hi
    When I connect my Qosmio G20 to my stereo using that AV cable (with red, yellow and white jack) and my Qosmio includes a cable that joins this 3 cable to the laptop's line for headphones.
    The problem is, it only sends the sound to one speaker if I swap the cable then the just other speaker works and the previous not.
    I've already tried the speaker/sound setup to all of the options there and no one made both speakers work.
    I tried another set of AV cable and it was the same issue.
    This setup works properly if I connect it to the TV but not on my stereo system.
    Do I need a different cable?
    Cheers

    Hi
    Are you sure you have connected the right connectors to the HiFI???
    For stereo sound receiving you will need to connect only two plugs: RED and WHITE.
    Ive also connected my notebook to the HiFI via cable 1-2: one plug to headphone jack and 2 plugs (left, right) to the HiFI.
    Everything works great.
    Ohh I remember my HiFi supports a controller at the back side to assign the sound to left or right speaker.
    I have set it to middle level for both speakers.
    Maybe it's teh same on yours HiFI

  • Qosmio G20 - System recovery without CD Drive?

    Hello Everyone.
    I have Qosmio G20 and the internal DVD Drive is not working.
    I have recovery DVD also, since DVD Drive is not working I am not able to boot with recovery DVD and do the recovery.
    I do have external DVD Drive also but Qosmio doesnt support USB external drive for booting.
    Is there any way to recovery my system without replacing my internal DVD Drive.
    Regards
    Karthik

    Maybe if you start your notebook in DOS and load DOS driver for external device. With full access to external device maybe you will be able to start recovery procedure.
    To be honest I don't understand why you don't want to replace optical disc drive. Qosmio G20 is so old and parts are not expensive anymore. Check eBay and you will find a lot of drivers for Toshiba notebooks.
    Replace the drive and be happy. It is not so big investment.

  • Qosmio G20 = Component Video Cable and High Definition Videos With Pinnacle

    Dear Everybody
    I bought my Qosmio G20-120 from Poland which came with D-video to Scart cable. This cable is only capable of transferring Video (CVBS) signals which is pretty useless because Qoismio has S-Video Output already... Which is better than simple Video Output that I can get from Scart.
    According to www.toshiba-europe.com Qoismio has supposed to have Component Video output. But it comes with Scart cable instead. I am still trying to get this Component Video to D-Video cable from the distributor. If I wont succeed, does anybody know if and where I can buy this cable in Europe? Or is it possible to make a component video to D-video cable out of D-Video to Scart cable?
    As last did anybody try the high definition DVB-S channels on Qoismio by using USB 2.0 DVB-S TV Card.Any opinions about Pinnacle PCTV 400e ??
    Thank You

    Yes I do live in Europe. But who says that Component Video Cable is a standart from USA or Japan. I have been using Component Video Cables to connect my DVD Player with my video projector since 2002. Component Video Cables are wisely used in Europe. And its the ONLY analogue way of transferring HD-Video (Plus DVI and HDMI)
    What disturbs me alot is that on www.toshiba-europe.com they explain that my computer has:
    Interfaces 1 x headphone
    1 x DC-in
    1 x line-in
    1 x external monitor
    1 x RJ-11
    1 x RJ-45
    1 x i.LINK (IEEE 1394)
    4 x USB 2.0
    1 x Monitor-in (line-in port)
    1 x TV-antenna
    1 x S-Video-in (Composite/Line-in)
    1 x TV-out (s-video, Component-out))
    1 x 5-in-1 Bridge Media slot (supports SD Card, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro, MultiMedia Card, xD-Picture Card)
    Where is the Component-out ???Promise is a promise. Why do they say it if they dont give it?
    Instruction manual also says that : D-Video port lets you transfer 525i(480i),525p(480p),1125i(1080i) or 750p(720p) data to external devices.
    How can you transfer 720p with a Scart Cable?? It is impossible.... The only way that Qosmio can transfer 1280x720 picture is a Component Video cable.(Because it has no DVI port) How much does this cable cost anyway?? But the problem is NOBODY is producing it in Europe. I am writing to Toshiba-Japan. Since they are saying that my computer has Component-out so they must get me the cable....

  • Qosmio G20: 1x recording speed on 16x Datasafe DVD-R

    OK, I normally buy Verbatim and have never had a problem. Took the chance on a cheap tub of DATASAFE 16x speed DVD-R and can only write at 1x speed. The manufacturer ID: CMC MAG. AM3.
    The drive is a Mat****a DVD-RAM UJ-846S, Firmware F101 , serial number BD027ED1. The firmware date is 21-09-05 so nearly a year old. Obviously I don't expect to write at 16x speed but 8x speed would be fantastic. Hardware Qosmio G20.

    Sir...,If you already know the answer,why you have sent the question to this forum?
    The Mat****a UJ-846-S is not slower, but since it also writes the RAM discs,it's more critic when it has to write rubbish discs.
    However, if you lose 5 minutes to read the manual, as I have already said, you will have all the information that serve you.

  • Qosmio G20: Is there any way to enable FM radio?

    Is there any way to enable FM radio reception on Qosmio G20. Any hardware upgrade or accessories?

    You would need to attach some sort external fm tuner. Some usb tv cards have fm radio as well, so you might consider this if you want an additional tuner.
    I use a Haupauge WinTV USB2, which also has an fm tuner. If you want to use this with Media Centre there are specific drivers on the Hauppauge site that set this up a second tv tuner within Media Centre, and also give you fm radio in MC.
    Alternatively if you use the drivers that come with it you can use as a stand alone tv tuner and fm radio player.
