New Satellite C75D-B7260-Poor audio volume

I bought a new laptop last Saturday (C75D-B7260 Win 8.1) and the audio  was terrible with very low max volume and very tinny (high treble) speaker output. Fortunately, I don't play games, videos, or movies and just use the audio for normal everyday sounds.  I do listen occasionally  to a news clip so would prefer more normal audio for that purpose. I have experimented with any and all settings available on 4 different drivers shown below:     1. The original Toshiba Realtek driver.     2. An updated (latest) Toshiba Realtek driver.     3. The latest Realtek driver for my OS from Realtek website.     4., The Microsoft Sound driver native to Windows. After much trial, error and experimenting, I have improved the volume by at least 100% and it is now acceptable. And the quality of the sound is acceptable in headphones but still very tinny through the speakers.  When you test the speakers with the testing in windows, they sound fine but revert to tinniness when playing an "outside" sound. I  need to be able to reduce the treble dramatically or increase the bass and there are no such controls (a bad oversight I believe to leave off any audio device). BTW, the driver I ended up using is the Microsoft native driver!  I get much better audio overall with all the volume I can use and it is slightly less tinny than the Toshiba or Realtek drivers. Okay!  Reason for posting.,  Does anyone know of any software add on to sound drivers that will provide for treble and bass adjustments? It so happens that I use digital programmable and fully adjustable hearing aids and have a remote control that does allow me to fully adjust the treble and bass before the sound gets to my ears but I don't want to rely on that.

Yes, Jerry, the battery slides right out the back like my 3 earlier models and the memory is upgradeable since there is a readily available door.  This is way yonder more memory than I need though.  I'll take a look at your Windows 10 link when I have some time.  After getting the problem solved about the audio earlier, my chair used at my computer desks broke ,so I've been working on that all afternoon.  I need some parts, however.

    You can install Windows 7 if you like. But I doubt you'll ever locate enough of the drivers and utilities to make that laptop work as designed. Toshiba certainly did not create them.
    If you have no end of time to burn hunting for those and don't mind some features missing, here's how to install Windows 7.  The disk now uses GPT partitioning, but you want the old MBR partitions. So use the installation package to remove all the existing partitions and create new ones (one is sufficient).

  • Critical Problems with Brand New Satellite C75D-B7100

    Hi Everyone,
    I bought two identical C75D-B7100. They both worked fine for 1h but then one of them hanged (non-responsive mouse or keyboard). When rebooting, Windows would not load after clicking on the user and waiting for log-in. After a long time we received the message "the user profile service failed the sign-in"
    We restored the computer with a recovery disk but the same is still happening. Is this a HDD issue? If so, is there any way to know if this is the issue?
    I appreciate your help in advance,
    Thanks,

    Satellite C75D-B7100
    We restored the computer with a recovery disk but the same is still happening.
    Since that is a classical software issue, it surprises me that after restoring the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents it still occurs.
    If that occurs before installing or updating anything, you should return the computer for another.

  • Poor Audio Volume C55D-B5310

    Satellite C55D-B5310
    Audio has a very tinny sound, and even at full 100% volume it sounds muffled
    I have tried to install the latest audio drivers from the toshiba website.
    I have tried listening to audio from the browser, and from a downloaded mp3 through winplayer.
    It seems as if the input level is not coming in to a full level... as if it is being limited. 
    The green input level on the volume control never raises above 25%
    I have tried to check and uncheck the "loudness equalization" with no change. 
    Advise?? 

    Hi I am having the same problem what driver did you down load to my knowledge and according to device manager I already have the most recent driver I also re downloaded it from the website I have heard nothing but good things about Toshiba this issue is making me doubt them.

  • Need Win7 graphic driver for Satellite C75D-A7310

    Hi
    I have a new Satellite C75D-A7310 and installed windows 7 64 bit on it but can't find the drivers for the video chipset. Does anyone have any idea where I could get this. I have tried Toshiba website which was no help.
    Thanks

    Hi Panzerman
    It was not easy to find something useful because all newer models with AMD Quad-Core A6-5200M Accelerated Processor with AMD Radeon HD 8400 Graphics are not supported for Win7.
    After long search I found older model Satellite C50D-A with the same specification and it is supported for Win7 64bit so display driver you can find here . I hope it will works for you.
    By the way: I hope you have created recovey media if your notebook was delivered with preinstalled OS.
    Post some feedback.

  • Satellite Pro S500-11C - poor audio performance

    Hi Folks,
    I have a Satellite Pro S500-11C which suffers from the poor audio performance mentioned in reviews of the S500-11C (yeah I should have *+listened+* to the reviews and excuse the pun).
    This is making it very difficult to use this laptop for audio applications such as music, VOIP and Skype without having to carry about a heaeset of some type.
    Has anyone else eperianced this problem and had a solution. Any help from Toshiba??
    Best Regards,
    Andrew

    Sorry but what kind of problem do you mean exactly? Is the sound not loud enough or what?
    I mean this notebook has standard stereo speakers and not high end harman/kardon speakers inside.
    I have Satellite L300 in front of me with same stereo speakers. Sound is OK but not so good as on other laptops with h/K speakers.
    By the way: what kind of help do you expect? Some new driver that makes speakers louder maybe?

  • Poor audio with 30G ipod and apple dock into home reciever

    Slightly garbled and too much base. I've tried the apple "fix" of not connecting the sync cable but no change, still poor. I read the dock audio should be line out, yet when i adjust the ipod volume the volume into the reciever changes. This is not the way a line out should work.
    Is this a flaw in the new video ipods? Any tricks to fix?
    pc   Windows ME  

    The Headphone out is not a pure line level. No headphone out is. Then u have either fixed or variable line level outputs. U can consider this to be a variable line leve out ( I keep the ipod volume at no more than 90 percent.
    As for poor audio I havent used the dock yet but maybe your problems are more to do with your PC???
    Were they badly compressed files????

  • Fresh Windows 7 install on Satellite C75D-B7200

    Hey Toshiba Forums,  My laptop, the C75D-B7200 recently had some HDD hardware problems so I got a new one and decided to put windows 7 64 bit on it.  After the installation process was finished and I logged in, I couldn't connect to the internet.  This was the case with the ethernet cord as well. I went to the Device Manager and saw that these drivers were listed under "Other devices" and had a error which was labeled "code 28".   I then attempt to download the appropriate drivers but found no luck as the only downloadable options under windows 7 64 bit have nothing to do with the drivers i'm having trouble with.  Anyone know what I should do?

     
    Satellite C75D-B7200 (PSCLEU-006004)
    Local downloads here.
    Toshiba does not supply Windows 7 drivers and utilities for that model. You're best off restoring it to factory new.
    But if you want to fool around (and probably waste lots of time), there do seem to be drivers for your part-number family PSCLEU here. The order of installation is important. You should install the AMD SM Bus and display driver first. I would install the remainder of the AMD drivers after that and prior to other drivers.

  • ITunes 12.1 freezing upon launch due to "determining audio volume"

    My (Late 2011) MBP running Yosemite is freezing when I launch iTunes. It is 12.1, the latest version. Upon launch, it says "Determining Audio Volume" and is on the first of my several thousand songs. The spinning wheel eventually pops up and I am forced to forced shut-down my mac by holding the power button. I can't delete iTunes as it is "required by the OS" and I can't open it and go to the preferences to uncheck "soundcheck" because it freezes the entire mac upon launch.
    Anyone experiencing the same issue or know what might fix it?
    Thanks

    I had the same problem, but I think I've found a cure.
    Even though Sound Check was disabled in preferences, iTunes would insist on Determining Audio Volume everytime it was launched. But there is also a 'Sound Check' preference in the Burn CD dialogue.
    To turn it off you need to select a playlist, hit the Burn Disc button (bottom left) select Audio CD as the disc format and un-check 'Use Sound check'
    Then you must hit the 'Burn' button (if you don't it will not remember the new settings) You can then cancel the burn by clicking the X in the itunes player window.
    This has cured the problem for me

  • Audio volume is always maximum at start

    I upgraded to Mac OS X Lion from Mac OS X Snow Leopard.
    Before the upgrade when I reboot Mac OS X the audio volume is at the same level I left before.
    Now when Mac OS X Lion starts, the audio level is always at maximum.
    I think this is a little bug of the new OS.
    Is there anyone with the same problem?
    Does anyone have solved it?
    Thanks you all.

  • Non-Apple Keyboard: any way to control system audio volume?

    I have a non-Apple Keyboard on my new Mini Lion 7.2.1
    Is there any way to control system audio volume via the keyboard ?

    Well. I can do this. But just because, on my Apple keyboard, there are the keys that do the job. There's a key to mute, and the keys to adjust low and high the sound. But keyboard shortcuts, I don't think exist. The aren't in keyboard shortcut in Keyboard panel, within System Preferences. The bottom line is that isn't a menu item in Finder for lower sound and higher sound. The only option would be an AppleScript that you save as an applet within Scripts menu (activated in Finder via Script Editor) and you invoke with a shortcut... Well, you can do it, if you open the script Set Output Volume in UI Elements Script folder within Scripts folder. Try it out!

  • Audio volume on aluminum 13" vs black 13"

    Is there anyone out there who used to own a black MacBook and now owns an Aluminum 13" MacBook? I'm wondering about the audio volume on the new model. I have a first-gen black MacBook, and the sound doesn't get very loud at all, even at max volume. Did they fix this in the Aluminum model? I'm about to buy one, but if the sound is still very quiet, maybe a MacBook Pro would be a better choice...

    Here I am
    I had a 1st gen Black MacBook and now a 13" Aluminium 2.0 Ghz: unfortunately I have no chance to compare them (the black was sold before getting the alu), but I didn't note any big differences, it seems that the alu has a little more power (and a slightly predominance in low frequencies from the right side...)

  • How do I get 10.4.8 AUDIO VOLUME back?!

    My daughters' iMac G3 is like a freakin' megaphone now after updating it to 10.4.9. Why did Apple have to mess with audio volume levels? It was FINE the way it was. Now, in 10.4.9, the lowest volume setting is around the 50%-65% mark it was in 10.4.8.
    I've ready other complaints elsewhere, now just want a solution. She's had it for months and we know the volume it produced, now, like I said, it's a megaphone and she even says its too loud (she's four).
    Help!

    The max OS for a PowerPC processor Mac is Leopard OS 10.5.x. All higher OSs require a Mac with an Intel processor.
    Here's the instructions if you have the discs.
    Mac OS X: Changing or resetting an account password
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1274?viewlocale=en_US
    Changing your administrator password
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh655.html
    Here's one method to reset the password without the install disc:
    1. boot computer and hold the "apple" key and the "s" key.
    2. wait for terminal show
    3. release keys
    4. type without the quotes: "/sbin/mount -uaw"
    5. press enter
    6. type without the quotes: "rm /var/db/.applesetupdone
    7. press enter
    8. type without the quotes: "reboot"
    9. press enter
    This will let you create a new admin account when you reboot your computer.
    Also, without the discs, look at Mac OS X Tip - No Password, No Root, No CD? No Problem.
    http://www.macobserver.com/tip/2003/06/16.1.shtml
    Here is a way to get around not knowing the admin password on Macs.
    To reset your OS X password without an OS X CD you need to enter terminal and create a new admin account:
       1. Reboot
       2. Hold apple + s down after you hear the chime.
       3. When you get text prompt enter in these terminal commands to create a brand new admin account (hitting return after each line):
              * mount -uw /
              * rm /var/db/.AppleSetupDone
              * shutdown -h now
       4. After rebooting you should have a brand new admin account. When you login as the new admin you can simply delete the old one and you’re good to go again!
    You'll have to buy (for over $100) a Leopard retail install DVD to get back to Leopard.
     Cheers, Tom

  • Stop "Determining Audio Volume"

    iTunes 11.0.1.12
    Windows 8, 64-bit
    I'm suffering from continual Determining Audio Volume. I figured if I left it running all night, Iit would complete. But it's only at 1,049 of 49,000+ files. At this rate, it would take months to complete! this is insane.
    And this is happening after "Soundcheck" was unchecked in Edit > Preferences > Playback.

    I had the same problem, but I think I've found a cure.
    Even though Sound Check was disabled in preferences, iTunes would insist on Determining Audio Volume everytime it was launched. But there is also a 'Sound Check' preference in the Burn CD dialogue.

  • Premiere Elements 13 - Help with AUDIO volume

    When recording the audio volume is too low. I adjust it in Premiere Elements 13 to the maximum and it is louder but still too low.
    When I play with gain I get extra an effect that I do not want.
    If there is not a way to do this from Premiere Elements is there an inexpensive plugin that I can get to work? When I search google seems like there are plenty of photoshop plugins but not enough for premiere.

    studysession
    Thanks for the follow up and good news of progress.
    A few ways...
    One way...
    a. In the Expert workspace, you have a thumbnail for your video with its associated low volume audio in Project Assets
    b. You drag  the file from Project Assets to the Timeline Video 1/Audio 1 (the volume will be at 0.0 dB)
    c. Then you drag the file again from Project Assets to the Timeline Video 2/Audio 2. This time you right click the file there
    and select Delete Video from the pop up menu.
    d. Then you drag the file again from Project Assets to the Timeline Video 3/Audio 3. This time you right click the file there
    and select Delete Video from the pop up menu.
    e. You repeat this until the sound has an acceptable volume.
    Another way
    a. In the Expert workspace, you have a thumbnail for your video with its associated audio in Project Assets.
    b. You drag the file from Project Assets to the Timeline Video 1/Audio 1 (with Adjust Tab/Adjustments Palette/Volume
    adjust the volume from 0.0 to + 6.0 dB)
    c. Move the Timeline Indicator to the far right...right click the Video 1/Audio 1 clip, select Copy. Do about five Ctrl+V to make
    five side by side copies of the file at that remote location of the Timeline Indicator.
    d. Then go through the drill of what is described above....all copies directly above one another on tracks above Video 1/Audio 1.
    drag a copy to Video 2/Audio 2, and the Delete Video
    drag a copy to Video 3/Audio 3, and the Delete Video
    drag a copy to Video 4/Audio 4, and the Delete Video
    The quality of sound and video were good on your YouTube video. I am still having problems with my Internet connect but got
    to watch most of it.
    Please let me know if you are OK with the information above. Good job with the audio gain and normalization.
