No External Sound - Satellite Pro L550

Driving myself a little crazy here. Running on Windows 7, cannot get my external Logitech Speakers to work.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

This chip support two integrated DVI display outputs 18-, 24-, and 30-bit digital displays at all resolutions up to 1920x1200 (single-link DVI) or 2560x1600 (dual-link DVI)

Means that all these resolutions depend on the available display output!!!

Suggestions for new laptop - Maybe Satellite Pro L550-17U

Wasn't sure where to ask this so it's here in the General category.
I'm looking for a replacement laptop with a few specific requirements. I can get most of them but the last one is proving difficult. So the requirements are:
17" screen with at least 1600 horizontal resolution.
Minimum of 4Gb RAM (8 would be nice)
Run 64-bit Windows 7
Bluetooth
and finally, the cruncher:
Supports Intel VT (Virtualization Technology)
I thought the Satellite Pro L550-17U would be OK, but looking at the Intel site, it doesn't seem that the T6570 processor supports VT. And it would have to be supported in the BIOS anyway, and nothing in the spec says it will.
Anybody able to provide any help please? I'd like to stick with Toshiba, as I've had such great reliability from them, but would consider other makes (sorry Toshiba) if that's the only option.
Roger

Thanks for your reply.
In answer to your first question, as little as I can get away with:). I'm expecting to pay over 600GBP, but certainly won't go over 1000.
As to your 2nd question, general office plus development work, and occasionally connecting to external screens for presentations. My aim is to run Windows 7 Ultimate with the current versions of MS Office, Visual Studio and Expression Studio and then upgrade those versions when the repacements are out, I also need to run older versions of Windows (XP, Vista) and Office (XP, 2003), hence the VT requirement.
Going back to your other comment, what isn't 'best' about the L model? I was looking at specs and not really considering the model.

Satellite Pro L550-17U PSLW9E - Win 7 64bit HDD recovery question

Hi,
Basically when I recieved the laptop it had the Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit installed.
I created the backup disks as requested but the first disk got scratched and gets stuck on the install, I can install the 32 bit version (the CD it came with) and I've tried to create a new recovery disk via the 32 bit system but this just creates a 32 bit recovery disk (which I already had the proper disk).
Just seeing if there is any way to restore the 64 bit system without having to buy a new version of windows?
Satellite Pro L550-17U
Part Number : PSLW9E-01500MEN
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit (pre-installed, Toshiba-HDD recovery) and
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit (Toshiba-Recovery DVD)

Hi buddy,
The recovery disk that was delivered with your notebook contains *only* Windows 7 32bit version. That means if you install this version, you are able to create 32bit recovery disk but not 64bit. Therefore you would need the 64bit recovery disk.
In my opinion you can do nothing without ordering a 64bit recovery disk. Such disks can be ordered here:

I hope I could help you a little bit. :)

Satellite Pro L550-13M - cannot run HD product recovery

I have a new Toshiba Satellite Pro L550-13M running Windows 7 and I fired it up this morning and it said Windows could not start and went into startup repair.
The last thing I did with it was last night, when I ran RegistryBooster2 and it cleaned up the registry. I've used this utility loads of times with this and previous notebooks and it's been fine. I guess it's caused the problem though. It backs up the registry, but I can't restore that because I can't boot up!
So, after rebooting a few times, it eventually said "Windows cannot repair this computer automatically". If I view the diagnostic and repair details, the log lists all these tests, but says they have completed successfully. I'm on repair attempt 38. During one of them, startup repair said it was fixing a registry problem.
If I try to view the advanced options for system recovery, and select a UK keyboard, I get this message:
"You must log in to access System Recovery Options"
and my only option is to click an OK button to restart.
So, I'm stuck.
I got a Windows 7 recover CD and running startup repair on that comes up with no errors!
However, because the notebook is so new, I haven't created any restore points or recovery disks (didn't have any blank DVDs at the time).
The notebook has a HDD recovery partition, but I can't run the recovery disk to access that option because of the "you must log in" thing above.
I'm stuck!!!!! Anyone out there with any ideas?
Extra details:
Can't boot in safe mode. Last known good configuration doesn't work. All roads lead to startup repair.
Attempt 38 has this in the startup repair log:
Root cause found:
Startup Repair has tried several times but still cannot determine the cause of the problem.
I can use the Windows 7 recovery CD to get a command prompt and view C: and D: (where the HD recovery files are), but I don't know what to do from there.
The CD isn't for a Toshiba, so it doesn't list HD recovery as an option. I can only use it to run startup repair (which reports no problems) or get a command prompt.

I really don't understand what is wrong there.
The fact is that your notebook model was delivered with Win7 and HDD recovery image.
That means with factory settings this HDD recovery (as described in document) must work.
Unfortunately you didn't explain to us what happen when you press F8 at boot-up.
Can you enter Advanced boot options?
Is repair my computer option available?
This non-Toshiba recovery CD will not help you at all. HDD recovery option can be started just as described in the document.
Do you still have Factory settings (preinstalled image you got with your notebook) or you have maybe installed own Win7 version?

Satellite Pro L550 - WLAN doesn't work after new Installation Win 7/64 Pro

Hi,
I installed a real Win 7 / 64 professional full version on my Sat Pro L550-199, PSLW9E. Now I can't switch on my WLAN. The big FN-bottons doesn't exist. I tried lots of driver I found on the Toshiba Support page.
Whitch is the right, or is Win 7 / 64 professional not supported with WLAN?
How I can switch on WLAN without the FN-Key?
Lenny

Hi Lenny-27-7,
Is your WLAN card installed properly in device manager? It must be listed under network devices without yellow exclamation marks. So you can make sure that WLAN card is installed.
For all FN keys you have to install Value Added Package and Flash Cards Support Utility. Both tools can be downloaded on official Toshiba page where you can find the WLAN driver too:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
If you have installed everything you can start with WLAN configuration :)

Installing WXP on new Satellite Pro L550

Hi,
I have a new Sat Pro L550 and need to downgrade to XP. If I want to go back to Windows 7 in future can I?
Thanks, Lisa

Hello Lista
In my opinion you should look forward and start to use newest operating system Windows7. It is really good operating system, well done and runs with good performance on Toshiba notebooks.
Please note that you have newest notebook model with newest hardware designed for Win7 standards.
Yes you can install Win7 anytime you want.
Win7 is fully supported and you will not have problems with it.
To go back on WXP has no much sense for me except you want to use some old software designed for WXP only.
Anyway, which notebook model do you have exactly (L550-xxx)?

Video to external output - Satellite Pro L20

My L20 has recently stopped outputting video (DVD programmes) to an external projector. Frames, etc are fine, but no programme within it - just a blank space. Other screen output is not affected. Everything used to work fine.
I am not aware of having changed anything on the machine.
Is this hardware, settings, software?
Suggestions welcome.

Hi
I think its only a setting issue.
Something similar happened on my notebook.
I started the WinDVD program to watch DVD movies and then I have switched to the TV.
This was wrong procedure! Its important and necessary switching to external monitor firstly and then to run the WinDVD program!
Maybe its the same issue! Check it!

Satellite Pro - Slow start up and sound is messed up

I have had my *Toshiba Satellite Pro* with *Windows XP* for a good few years now. She has always worked like a gem and has given me no problems until a few weeks ago.
A few weeks ago I was downloading a program and with it came the very unwanted and unliked "Antivir Solutions" virus. I did everything I could to get rid of this disaster (thanks to the help of support forums) and I think I managed to get rid of it, but ever since then my computer has not been the same.
I was having trouble downloading a PDF document a few days ago and it froze so I tried to restart which caused the computer to have a hissy fit, deleting my user account which meant I had to set all that up again from scratch. And, now, the computer takes a good 45 minutes from the time you press the "ON" button to when it is ready to start working. Not to mention, it takes a good 10 minutes each time you click an icon for the program to actually start..
I have tried defragmenting the system and have tried uninstalling unused programs to speed the computer up, but it hasn't worked.
I have also run several antivirus programs (such as Norton, AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials) to make sure I have no nasties messing me up, but they come up clean.
May I also add- The sound is messed up also. Whether I use the inbuilt speakers or external speakers the sound is disjointed and broken. As is any Video I play.
I just don't know what to do.
I cannot really afford a new computer, but I need my computer to be reliable. I use my computer for 12 out of the 24 hours in each day...
*What can I do?*

Hi nicoletrist,
I dont know what notebook you have exactly but I think the slow Windows start is caused due the viruses that you have or had.
Few years ago I had also a virus and it was causing a very slow start up, it did take up to 10 minutes until Windows was loaded and the only solution to get rid of this was using Toshiba recovery disk.
I would recommend the same to you. Use the Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings and backup your data because everything on HDD will be deleted.
Im sure after using recovery disk your notebook will run like a charm again! :)

No sound on Satellite Pro A120 with Windows Vista

Hi
I have had to reinstall my Vista operating system and rebuild my A120 Satellite Pro from the revovery disk.
Most things are fine but I cant get any sound from the speakers of headphine jack.
I have checked andit says that the Realtek High Definition Sound Driver is installed and working correctly.
My volume buttons are up high on the mixer and on Windows Media Player.
The driver is Realtek 6.0.1.5317
Help would be much appreciatesd

Nothing through the speakers, nothing via the headphone socket. Volume bar goes up and down with the music as it should do when you play an audio file. Tried the Windows Vista built in driver, the Realtek ones from the Toshiba site.
Last thing to try is rebuilding to the XP support disk, making sure the volume is right at the tip and unmuted, and try reinstalling Vista again, which is tonight's job, but I'm not feeling hopeful about it. Like I said before the toshiba unmute tool didn't do anything for me.

Satellite Pro M30 - cannot install sound driver

Hi
I have a Satellite Pro M30 which usaed to work fine but I can no longer install sound card drivers on it.
I THINK it has happened since we reinstalled windows XP Pro with SP2 but can not be certain.
It is trying to install the Sigmatel AVC97 drivers and comes up with the following error.
Invalid operating system parameter or this installer does not support this operating system
Any suggestions as there seems to be only one sound driver for the SPM30 family.

Nobody here have got a problems with sound driver installation just you
So is this not strange for you???
Either you did something wrong or its your windows XP issue.
Please note that the Toshiba driver page provides also the Installation Instructions
There you can find the right installation order!
Install your OS again and follow this instruction in this doc!

Satellite Pro P100 (PSPA4E) - No Sound Following Win 7 Clean Install

Hello, A European friend really struggling and looking for help.
I have just clean installed Win 7 Home Premium (64 bit) on a Satellite Pro P100 (PSPA4E) which was purchased in November 2006. It was previously running XP and I never installed Vista though the laptop is badged Vista Capable) I followed the Win 7 bios/driver/software install order but I now have no sound at all. Everything that I have tried so far has failed to fix it.
The laptop has a Conexant based audio solution with harman kardon speakers. Win 7 has installed the following driver which reports the following info.
High Definition Audio Device (Microsoft Driver version 6.1.7601.17514 dated 11/19/2010) and Device status: This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Hardware IDs:
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5047&SUBSYS_1179FF31&REV_1000 HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5047&SUBSYS_1179FF31
There is a second exclamation mark in Device Manager for a further unknown device / uninstalled driver (showing code 28) for a device with a Hardware ID of ACPI\SMCB000 but I do not know what this device is!
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix for my sound issue?
Thanks!
Martyn

Any one have any thoughts on this issue?
I have failed to locate a working / compatible Windows 7 x64 driver for Conexant HD Audio!
Perhaps there isn't one?
Perhaps I need to try harder?!?
Perhaps the on board sound solution featuring Conexant HD Audio is simply ****** as on www.conexant.com they say manufacturers have TOLD them NOT to make drivers available (... to poor unfortunate users)!!!
I think that manufacturers need to step up to the plate and support / help their customers. I own 4 Satellite Pro laptops running Vista x32 and Windows 7 x64. This one cost me well over £1,200 so I don't want to hear or conclude that it is simply scrap! That would represent truly poor value for money - the kind of business case that would undermine my belief that Toshiba laptops are the best in the business.
Ditto Microsoft - the Windows 7 x64 Upgrade Advisor tool gave me the all clear to upgrade this system. All generally appears fine EXCEPT the lack of sound.
Having now been exposed to the experience of many other laptop owners set out in various forums etc, covering both Toshiba laptops and some other major brands, I have to conclude that the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor is flawed and that a successful upgrade is somewhat hit and miss affair. Beware!
That said, still hopeful that someone out there will be able to help me fix this issue?
Regards
Martyn
P.S. I can be reached by any Toshiba or Microsoft technical support guru looking to make a difference and help me out.

I??ve got a U400 which was equipped with the Intel graphic card and I??ve got an external LCD which I have connected to the U400 using the DVI-to-HDMI cable.
My U400 unit supports the HDMI and the LCD the DVI port.
I have received also the driver disk with my LCD and I have installed the software.
I have also update the Intel driver and used one from the Intel page.
Now I have the access to many different external resolutions and can choose it.
