No sound after upgrading to Vista on Satellite U-series - solution

Hi I had the problem that I didnt have any sound after upgrading to Vista Business.
After several attemps to get a solution from Toshiba I found it out myself.
Here are the steps to solve this problem:
1. update Bios to 3.5 version
2. Do a clean Vista installation
3. Install the Value added Package
4. Install the audio driver
5. Install the fix "mute off"
Should work now.

Hey wow, thats really nice. Already bookmarked it. :)
We users and me (freak ;) ) appreciate some good solutions.
Thx dude

Satellite Pro A200-16N: Can I use Recovery CD after upgrade to Vista

Hii!
Im thinking of upgrading to windows vista on my Satellite Pro A200-16N, and i've ran the windows vista upgrade checker from the microsoft website and it says my system will support windows vista so im ok on that.
The problem is, if my laptop were to break or something like that at some point, will my recovery CD's that was supplied from toshiba still work on the laptop with windows vista?
Will they return the laptop to windows xp or since my laptop has a different operating system will they not work?
Also...
Whats the deal with BIOS?:S
I dont understand!
If i were to upgrade to windows vista should i update my BIOS before or after upgrading to vista?
As i have to download the new drivers before upgrading yes?
Thanks!

Of course the Recovery CD will work.
The Recovery CD will set always the notebook back to the factory settings. This means that the whole HDD will be formatted and the Toshiba image will be installed.
> Whats the deal with BIOS? I dont understand!

In my knowledge this notebook was already delivered with Vista therefore you dont need to update the BIOS if you want to install Vista again.
Some A200 Satellite series needs a BIOS update if you want to use the XP.
In such case its advisable to update the BIOS to XP version firstly and then to install X OS.
Best regards

No sound after upgrading to Windows 7 M55-S3293

I upgraded to Windows 7 and installed the drivers from Toshiba for my sound card and before installing checked the windows XP box under the compatibility tab. No sound. I did windows update for this driver and it installed an updated driver. No sound. I went to Realtek and installed the windows 7 generic driver for this sound card (thats all manufacturer's offer is a generic driver) and LOW sound. Now I rebooted and back to No sound.
Before windows 7 sound, after no sound.
Toshiba put out a fix for a contextant audio driver for the low sound problem to be corrected with windows 7 but I cannot find anything for my computer.
I don't know know what to do! I don't want to go back to using XP but sound is REALLY important. I would think this is an integrated sound card (Toshiba isn't making service manuals public anymore, it was there the other day and gone today) so I cannot remove it. I don't think I have any available PCI slots to install a new one internally and I don't want extrenal speakers since I do a lot of traveling.
Is there a fix I don't know about? What can I do? Please HELP!!!

Hi Ryan,
Go here: http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/support/jsp/downloadDetail.jsp?soid=1671893&pf=true
and download the software called "Sound Utility to Turn Mute Off After Upgrading to Vista", it is made for people that upgrade to VISTA, however, once you have all your Toshiba updates installed by downloading the Toshiba updates, then apply this update to your Windows7 system and the problem will resolve.
I don't know why they did not make this update part of the Toshiba Update Package.
I hope this helps,
best,
Alejandro

No sound after upgrading

I keep losing the sound after upgrading to OS7 on my 16g 4GS. It comes and goes with no identifiable pattern.

According to your motherboard specification you have Integrated AC97' Realtek ALC658C 6-channel audio.
Try installing the Vista driver directly from Realtek:

C6150 won't print after upgrade from Vista to Win 7

Hello.
I have a C6150 AIO that worked fine under Vista. Since I've upgraded to Win 7, I cannot get a printout from any application or the Windows test print. The HP Solution Center test print works fine.
- Printer is hooked up wirelessly
- I've installed the latest driver from HP that is supposed to be Win 7 ready
- I've also installed the patch they recommend after upgrading from Vista
There is no error. Print job shows up briefly in the print manager window, then disappears as though it printed. I'm at a loss, any help would be appreciated.

I hope I have now sorted this problem.....
After numerous atems to install HP Windows 7 drivers & apps and failing I decided to restore the PCs to the day before I first installed the Drivers etc.
Then I unistall HP software and reinstalled the new drivers etc. This I had to do a couple of times on the Laptop (restore 3 days back).
After installing the HP software you can print a test page, print OK. Then goto printer properties and ty to print a test page from there, if this is unsuccessful restore system and start again. Most it took me was three attemps.
Now allI have to do is hope that the windows updates dont mess it all up again!
Hope this helps you......... Good luck

Ideally there should not be any impact of OS change, but officially PSE5 is not supported on Win7.
What exactly happens ? Can you see the processes running in Task-manager?

After upgrading from Vista 64 64 bit to Window7 64bit the DVD stopped working

After upgrading from Vista 64 64 bit to Window7 64bit the DVD at first worked just fine but after about 7 months it just stopped responding as if the hardware as in the DVD Dive it compatible with Windows 7. I have reinstalled the full Windows 7 that I got from HP but it still has the same problem and when I try a full recovery it will start to read the recovery DVD but it take way to long like 15 mins just to start reading and it stops reading with error's after about 2 min's into it.
Were is the errors that I get
This PC in not supported by the system recovery disc. you will not be able to continue to recover this system with these disks.
keep in mind that the problem lies with the DVD drive not working and like stated above it will work if Windows Vista 64 is installed so this error message is not the key to the problem just part of it.

Fixed the mic issue by running Windows Update and installing the latest audio drivers.

Beep app stopped making sound after upgrade to 2.6.22 kernel

hi, beep app stopped making sound after upgrade to 2.6.22 kernel Jul 29 2007; my PC still beeps on reboot; i searched for the beep package at arch home page and found
the beep package maintainer's name: Damir Perisa how do i contact him if there are no other fixes for beep no longer making any sound? thanks in advance for your quick
response; resident, a happy arch user

Check if the PC speaker kernel module is present:
lsmod | grep pcspkr
If that returns nothing, then check /etc/rc.conf for these line:
MOD_BLACKLIST=(foo)
MODULES=(bar pcspkr)
MOD_BLACKLIST must NOT contain pcspkr, while adding it to MODULES should autoload it on boot.
If you want it to load right now, then just enter:
modprobe pcspkr

No audio on HP Pavilion 771n after upgrading to Vista

I upgraded my desktop pc HP 771n from the XP Operating System to the Vista. Now I have no audio. After searching for a few days, I finally located an audio driver compatible with Vista AC 97 Down compatible with Vista. Now I have a Code1 error - I need to get the proper configuration for the driver. I have already tried deleting the driver, then clicking on the button for making changes. Can the driver be configured manually? How do I configure the driver for audio?

Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience! To help you get the most out of the HP Forums I would like to direct your attention to the HP Forums Guide First Time Here? Learn How to Post and More. I have read your post on how you are not able to get audio on your desktop computer after upgrading to Windows Vista, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter! According to the available supported drivers for your computer, there is no Windows Vista audio software available. If you wish to use your onboard audio hardware, I recommend re-installing Windows XP or installing a compatible 3rd party sound card. I hope this helps! Best Regards

I can't hear sound after upgrading to lion

I have this little annoying problem with my iMac after upgrading to Lion OSX. After waking up my iMac I can't hear any sound from internal speakers, ie: only video on Youtube, but no sound, but whilst pressing volume up/down button I can hear beep. When it happens So I have to restart system everytime it happens. Anyone any ideas or maybe someone out there has the same problem?

I'he double checked everything, only 1 output device (internal speakers). As I said before, it is weird because I can play iTunes and can hear "beep", but neither youtube sound, nor game sound or internet radio seems to be working, no sound whatsoever. But this time system didn't go to sleep, it has just happened suddenly.... Restart again then!

No sound after upgrading to Windows 8 HP G60-553NR Notebook

I recently upgraded to Windows 8 from Windows 7 64-bit on my HP G60-553NR and went through 3 tiers of tech support with Windows because after upgrading to Windows 8 Pro.... I had no sound coming from my speakers from my notebook nor will sound play when headphones are plugged in. Windows Tech support said that there are no compatable sound drivers to download, which leaves me with no sound completely which is no bueno. So, is there a driver that I can download that will work on my notebook?! If not, how do I downgrade to Windows 7. I'm a DJ and I really need some sound like asap. Thanks in advance for your assistance. Thanks

Do an HP system recovery to get back.
If you have discs - put first in and boot.
If not, you can go into settings from CHarms and advanced to select recover. Here's more: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03489643
