How to remove automatic sound limiter/compressor?

Hi I just got a Satellite P505-S8020 notebook. I was eager to try out the speakers because I was expecting great sound compared to my old laptop. but When i play music through itunes or windows media player or the web the sound is greatly compressed/limited. It is VERY annoying to be able to hear my music volume drop so suddenly when the beat kicks in  or there is a loud part in the song, as if there is a compressor with a very long release running through the sound card. It has a conexant smart audio hd sound driver; Can anybody help me solve the issue; or is there a way I can replace the conexant smartaudio hd sound driver with another soundcards driver?
Solved!

YES, THANKS for posting your solution!
I don't have any Toshiba-related computer equipment -- just a Windows 7 Dell laptop computer - but my Dell laptop had the exact same EXTREMELY ANNOYING compression turned on BY DEFAULT, and your solution worked perfectly to disable it.
(I only noticed it now in 2014, because I never tried listening to music on this Windows 7 laptop before now.)
I wonder WHO listened to that miserable "enhancement feature", and thought that it sounded So Good, that it should be turned on by default, and its control hidden so cryptically, that someone would have to search computer forums to figure out how to disable it, so as to make their laptop SOUND "NORMAL"...
I guess they were taking to an extreme, the old addage that "the average consumer thinks that a sound which is LOUDER, sounds BETTER"...

  • How to remove automatically launched items/apps?

    Sorry if this is a duplicate question.
    Actually i didn't find best answer for disabling items that automatically lauched when osx starting.
    I've been removed all startup items from login startup items (System Preferences - User & Groups - Login Items).
    Nothing found on StartupItems folder (Library - Startup Items) too.
    But some items still automatically launched on Mac start (such as Splashtop Streamer, Busycall).
    How to remove those startup items without completely uninstalling them?
    Any help would by appreciated.

    Those are system modifications, and if you want them to do what they do, they have to load at startup. If you don't like what they do, remove them according to the developer's instructions, or refer to the developer for support.

  • How to remove Plosive sounds in Adobe CS5

    Hi, I am singing into my dynamic mic using adobe cs5 and for some reason I cannot avoid the harsh plosive sounds being picked up by mic.
    When I play it back it makes a huge "PUH" sound and really doesn't sound very nice.
    Im sure a program like CS5 will allow me to remove these harsh plosive noises but I dont know how.
    Please help
    Thanks

    Well, all the stuff about getting a recording without the plosives is well and good....but if all you have is the recording in post, then the FFT filter is a good tool to work with.Highlight the plosive (and only the plosive. Try to avoid the rest of the word) -- it will be pretty easy to see in the wave file. Go to the FFT filter in Effects Bring everything below 80Hz down to zero. Then draw a curve so that 100Hz and higher is at 100% and start playing with the curve to find the right amount of frequencies to take out.
    I've found in my years of radio work, that cutting out frequencies below 100Hz and leaving the rest alone will work good enough about 60% of the time. There are some plosives that go up to 250Hz and higher...you really can't fix those to take them completely out, but you can make them better. Sometimes it helps to also reduce the amplitude some after you've applied the filter.
    But, you'll find that people who pop will pop A LOT...and they always seem to be saying (or singing) things with a lot of P's. So it's always better to use pop filters, mic positionioning, vocal technique, and such during the recording. But I think you'll find that FFT filter will be your friend when all that other stuff isn't enough.
    (BTW, I'm sure there's probably somethig you can do with the magic healing brush to accomplish this same thing, I just haven't futtzed with it enough to know how to do it there).

  • How to remove automatic ken burns effect in iMovie '13

    I am currently doing a stop-amimation using imovie '13 (10.0.2).
    When I move photos into the movie sequence, they automacitcl have ken burns applyed.
    Obviosly this is bad for a stop-animation, I need the whole photo and for it not to move!
    how to I remove it? please help!

    Select project and click on Settings above the viewer.  Against "Photos placement" choose "Fit" or "Crop" rather than "Zoom".  This will prevent KB effect on new photos that are added.  Exisiting ones you will have to change individually (or possibly copy and paste into a new project with Fit or Crop set - not sure if this will work).

  • Broadcast online link by Email : How to remove automatically inserted text

    Hello all.
    It's been a month I've been working on broadcasting, and I am starting to get skilled on it , or at least, I am starting to get very precise needs ...
    I am broadcasting email with online link inserted into it.
    At the end of the mail body, SAP inserts the online link (which makes sense ...), on which you have no control, but also inserts Broadcasting administration link, saying (in french) :
    "Le lien suivant permet à l'expéditeur de cet e-mail ou à un administrateur de diffusion de modifier la liste des destinataires : http://"
    I heard you could remove it, but how ?
    Did you heard about it ?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi ,
    Are you trying to change the language which user can understand ?? If this being the case in the receipent tab page of information broadcasting , there is a checkbox "User specific" , it takes user profile data into account and accordingly try to translate data into language which user understands.
    Hope that helps.
    Regards
    Mr Kapadia

  • How to remove automatic file associations in Dreamweaver CS5?

    When installing Dreamweaver, I chose to associate a broad array of file extensions with the program.  I would like selectively remove some of these automatic file associations (e.g. .php).  I have found this question posted several times, but never answered.  Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks, John.  The link you provided would help to change the automatic file association in Windows 7.  I should have been more specific that my ultimate goal was to have .php files not automatically associated with any program (so that I could modify the file extensions of some .php files).  I don't believe this could be achieved by changing the automatic association via the operating system (because you must select another program to automatically associate with a given file type).  However, my particular problem is resolved because I discovered that I could just deselect "hide extensions for known file types" in the "view" tab of "folder and search options".  This way I could change the .php extensions even though they were still automatically associated with dreamweaver.  Although this may be an obvious solution to many, I thought I would share it here in case anyone else finds themself stuck in the same way.

  • How to remove automatic signature?

    I can't find a place to remove the "Sent from my Verizon wireless phone" from e-mail messages in the S III I got yesterday.  What am I missing?  Thanks, all.

    I don't know if there's a way to remove it via e-mail settings or not.  I don't have that phone, but on mine you can change it via the settings on each e-mail account.  When I'm composing an e-mail, I also can highlight that "Sent from ..." phrase and delete it.

  • V37.0.2 how to remove automatic "New Tab" appearing?

    hello
    since upgrading to v37.0.2, the new tab with blank (nothing on it) is appearing.
    i would like to stop the "new tab" being opened/apearing when i start fx, and it seems to randomly appear (not sure what triggers it).
    I would only like to have newTab feature, when i click the + mark.
    Is this possible?
    thankyou

    If you open a new window then this window opens with the home page(s).
    If you start Firefox then you get the page(s) as specified in the startup setting.
    You can set the startup (home) page to about:newtab if you want to start with this page.
    *Tools > Options > General > Startup: Home page
    Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+set+the+home+page
    You can also start Firefox with the about:newtab page by creating a copy of the current Firefox desktop shortcut and add a space and <b>-url about:newtab</b> to the target field.

  • How to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot controlled with mouse, returns auto to top of scroll slide, never remaining at bottom

    how to remove a black border box that continously tabs to each field automatically till end of web page; restarts to top of page, cannot stop this box. Scroll bar cannot be controlled with mouse, scroll bar returns automatically to the top of scroll slide every time I move the bar to the bottom of the scale.  Also, there's a rectangular text box (with black background and white text) that is always on the desktop that emulates a typed text, HTML, or cmd function.

    The first two problems (box cycling from element to element on page, scroll bar returning to top) can be caused by a stuck (or defective) Tab key on the keyboard. Such damage can be caused by a liquid spill; just one tiny droplet is enough to short a wafer switch under one key.
    The last issue (black box, white text - sounds sorta like a debugger window) I haven't seen, but could be caused by something similar.
    To check for that, try using a different keyboard. If you're using a wireless keyboard, turn it off and see if the oddities stop.

  • How can I remove a sound device?

    I downloaded some software to try to change my voice during skype calls so I can mess around with my friends, but the softwares didn't work, so I fully uninstalled them, but these devices keep showing up in my sound output/inputs and it is rather annoying. I want to know how to remove them. Please help!
    Oh and I have had plenty experiences with macs so I know what to do when you tell me.

    Have you checked the developers web sites for uninstallers or contacted them for instructions?

  • How can I remove automatically scratches preserving the other areas of the photo?

    I scanned negatives.  Most of the scanned images show scratches.
    For a given photo, I can easily remove manually all the very small scratches using Filter>Noise>Dust and Scratches>Radius = 1 and Threshold = 0 (Step 1). Then I can easily remove the remaining bigger scratches with the Spot Healing Brush Tool (Step 2).  The only issue is that I have 13 000 photos to fix, and I don't have the time to correct them manually one at a time. 
    I have automated Step 1.  How can I automate Step 2?
    How can I automate Photoshop to scan a photo for scratches and when it find one apply a Spot Healing Brush Tool just on that spot with the required pen size?   
    Any other suggestions are welcome, as long as the quality of the picture is preserved and that the processing is automated.
    Please see pictures attached. 
    This could save me days of work.  Thankyou.
    Environment Information:
    ·  I am running Photoshop 12.1 *64 bit
    ·  Windows 7 Professional 64 bit
    ·  Amount of installed RAM: 6GB
    ·       Scanner:  Canon CanoScan 8800F

    Removing the bigger scratches cannot be automated.
    Please do not be angry now - I don't want to offend you:
    It is not reasonable to retouch all the 13000 pictures just now and one after another.
    Not all the pics are of the same inestimable value and you never will need all of them at once for web galleries, a photo show or print.
    And your digital photo frame is patient and is as happy with 25 pics as with 2500.
    Therefore let the pictures sleep peacefully on your hard drive. It's good that you have digitized them and it's enough.
    Someday you will need - say - 40 pictures for a gallery on your website, another day you want to make a gift of 3 pictures to a friend.
    Then the day is come to retouch exactly these 40 or 3 pictures, individually.

  • How to remove sound preference options

    how to remove sound preference options

    Not that I know of.
    Just tell her the X can't be removed.
    The customer isn't always right.
    Can you think of any window in any other program that doesn't have an X button to it?  I can't think of an instance.  I can't think of any place besides LabVIEW that can have an X button that can't be clicked.
    Is there a reason you do not want them to click the X button?  You can use an event structure to catch a Panel Close? event for the VI and discard the event so you can run your own code such as ensuring a clean and orderly shutdown of the VI.

  • How do I remove the sound from a video project and replace with music...?

    Hi there to all...I would like to know how you remove the original sound from a movie (using iMovie) so you dont hear it through any music added...?

    Select the video clip and open the clip inspector to the video tab. You can set the volume slider to zero.
    You can apply this to a bunch of clips at once.
    Do the first one.
    Then Edit/Copy.
    Then Select the clips to apply it to by select while holding command key. (or EDIT/SELECT ALL to get all clips)
    Then EDIT/PASTE ADJUSTMENTS/AUDIO ADJUSTMENTS
