Poor sound with my Satellite M40-230

I just bought my notebook M40-230 and when play music the sound is very poor and bad. It is common or there is a problem with my speakers?

Hello
Please go to Toshiba download site and install the newest sound driver. If there is some clicking noise check also Sound cards power mode. Set it please to No Power Savings.
You can find it in Control panel under SoundMAX.

Which AC adaptor can I use with my Satellite M40-307?

My dog has eaten the cable of my Satellite M40-307 (sadly he survived), I want (NEED) a replacement. The Toshiba web site lists the replacement as a 15-17V adaptor, where quite clearly the adaptor that came with my PC is a 19V adaptor. Also the back of the machine lists a DC 19V - 3.42A Power requirement.
Can anyone help?

You are right. You need 19V AC adapter. To be a little bit precisely you need AC adapter with part number PA3396U-1ACA or PA3396E-1ACA.

Poor sound with X-Fi Titanium and Z-5500

Holy crap.. I'm playing cd's and the sound is horrible in entertainment mode. Massi've bass clipping and this is on low volume. It sounds a little better in gaming mode but not the greatest. When I do a speaker in THX that even sounds like crap but sounds a little better in "ent. mode speaker test".
UT3 Sounds like crap as well.. especially explosions.

Welcome to my hell. ?I have the same speakers but with the Fatality Platinum's. ?Using Vista x64. ?I can't get DTS or DD to work under any configuration. ?Using both TOS-Link to the speakers for movie usage, and the analog 3-cable for gaming, etc.
?You might want to try using the analog cables, especially for gaming (EAX effects) and music and set the speakers to 6Ch direct. ?Set the bass crossover to 80hz, and make sure that the bass is set to <50% in the Creative Console or it will sound like garbage. ?

Satellite M40 wont start

I have several problems with my Satellite M40-149.
When shutting down hangs on a blue screen.
Almost impossible to boot. After some shaking and if its my llucky day, it starts but in most of cases hangs at Toshiba logo "In touch with tomorrow" with the four symbols for hd, cd, floppy and script. I did all tests I could find, there is no virus, the hd is ok (I tried several) and after successfull
start the screen seems ok to me.
I even tried Linux on another with almost the same results, very difficult to boot.
Is there another test I could do (except the Toshiba test)?
Any suggestions about where to look are welcome!

Hi dimlog,
This sounds a little bit strange like a hardware problem. I cant imagine that this has something to do with the software for example. If the notebook doesnt start properly and hangs on Toshiba screen (BIOS screen) something is wrong with the hardware.
Im not a technician but maybe the mainboard is the reason for this. But to make sure that is causing this the notebook should be checked from a notebook technician.
If you can repair it yourself, have also a look on eBay for second hand parts they are cheaper as new parts.
Good luck!

Satellite M40-237: How to connect the mobile phone with Bluetooth

I have a new Noki 62333 and I have a Satellite Toshiba M40- 237. I have a big problem with the conection between them. I don t know how to turn on bluetooth on my pc. Can you help me????

Hello Iva
A friend of mine has Satellite M40 and I know that this unit is delivered without BT module. If the unit has BT module you will find BT label on the bottom side of your notebook.
To establish BT connection with his mobile phone he uses BT USB stick.
By the way: does Iva comes from Zagreb, Croatia?

Unseen ESSId with special character - Satellite M40

Hi,
I have a Satellite M40 with an atheros AR5005g wireless card.
I have a wireless network with WPA2-PSK encryption. The ssid looks like that : g4s8j6b-special character-o7v35s7gt3q1c6b8
With the latest driver it is impossible to see the ssid an to connect to this network.
I have tried an Atlantis USB Wireless adaptor and it can find the wirelessnetwork (I can not connect, because the USB Adapter does not supported WPA2-PSK)
For me it is a driver 's problem. How can i solve this problem ? This "special character " is not recognising from the drivers isn't it ? is it possible to convert the ssid in HEX code and to insert the ssid in HEX code and the key in HEX code in a data, to force the connection ? (manual connection like Linux)
yours faithfully
Oh this forum does not support the character ... it looks like this : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%9F
(Unicode U+00DF)

Hi,
The ssid works with my other laptop (intel Wireless pro 3945 a/b/g) on Vista and Ubuntu (manual configuration).
The ssid can to be see with the atlantis usb wireless adapter.
> {quote:title=[email protected] wrote:}{quote}
> That SSID is very long. Have you tried using a shorter SSID?
For me that not the problem. On my other Laptop, before it works with my ubuntu system i had to make clean my driver's installation. Then I have converted the ssid and the wpa2-psk key in HEX code. That's why for me, it seems to be a driver's problem but it is not to find a solution anywhere.
How can i try to set up the ssid in HEX code and not ASCII with a win XP system ?
Yours faithfully

Poor Sound 800w with BT3030

I just got a BT3030 for listening to mp3s and streaming radio on my 800w. The sound is tinny and 'digitally'. I have tried this on another 800w and it sounds poor there too. I then tried the BT3030 with my old 700wx and it sounds fine-- could be louder, but fine.
Is this just a problem with the 800w or is this 6.1 or what? No adapter for (real) headphones and now poor sound via BT? Should I have purchased the Mogul?
Any registry tweaks for this? Anything?
Thanks,

Satellite M40-307: Accessibility utility doesn't work with limited user account

Hello everybody,
I have got a Satellite M40-307 (PSM44E), and I have got a problem with the "accessibility" utility, that displays an icon in the Windows XP notification bar, to let the user know whether the "Fn" key is active or not.
That this utility would not work for the administrator would not worry me a lot, as the administrator is supposed to know what he does. But the limited user does not have access to it, this more bothering.
In an administrator session, this utility works pretty fine. But in a limited user session, if I try to launch it by [runas /user:admin "C:\Program Files\TOSHIBA\Windows Utilities\TACSPROP.exe"],
I am answered that the file TCMSVR.DLL cannot be found. If I launch it normally, a message tells me that this utility requires I am connected as an administrator.
So, what can I do to use this utility normally, i.e. in a limited user session*?

Hello Markus,
Did you read ?
I executed TACSPROP with the admin rights, and it does not run.
So, to follow you, I had a look, on TACSPROP.EXE and TACSPROP.DLL, the users had "read/execute" and "read" rights. I provided "full rights", and it solved nothing.
Obviously another program must be launched before, that is by default launched only by the administrator, and I am searching what program it is.
Thank you.

Poor Sound Quality with iTunes 8

I just installed iTunes 8, and all of the songs in my Library play with poor sound quality regardless of the view I have open. The sound is really muffled, but the voices and higher frequencies sound tinny and shaky. I tried playing with the Equalizer and Sound Enhancer settings, but was not able to fix the problem.
What can I do to get the iTunes 7 sound back?

I, too, am experiencing a significant decline in the sound quality of recordings in my collection. The recordings sound very muffled on the low, bass end of the sound spectrum, and the treble is significantly diminished. This decline in sound quality occurred immediately after I upgraded to iTunes 8. The sound quality in iTunes 7 was fine, and overall better.
It appears that my iTunes 8 attempts to improve the playback sound quality of songs with 128 kbps bit rates, as these songs in my collection do seem to actually sound better. However, most of my collection are recordings imported at the higher sound quality standard of 320 kbps from CDs that I purchased, and these recordings all sound poor since I've installed iTunes 8.

Poor sound quality with 7g Nano through docking speaker.

Very poor sound quality with 7g Nano through docking speaker. Sound through ear bud is fine. A different 7g Nano sounds fine through the same speakers. There does not seem to be debris in the lightning port. Any suggestions?

Why the extremely poor sound quality in playback with itunes?

I am having problems with the sound quality of itunes music. this applies to both downloads and cd's. This problem is new, I believe, and affects bluetooth speaker, earphones, and macbook pro internal speaker. All have extremely poor playback with itunes. This Problem does not happen with playback of youtube videos.
Thanks for any advice you can give.

I would be worth playing some tracks with Quicktime so see what the quality is like there.
iTunes uses Quicktime to play music.

Satellite A - Poor sound on Windows 7

I've had my Satellite laptop for about 8 weeks or so now and have had nothing but problems with the sound output. I guessingpoor soundcard drivers for windows 7.
Here is the problem:
If I play music, dvd disk or a game the sound goes all squeaky, specially the voice. I have reinstalled Windows 7 so may time I have lost count of the installs I have done. I have also been to the Toshiba website and downloaded all the realtek soundcard drivers and none make any diffence to the sound. Each time I install Windows 7, I tried to install Windows updates. Still no good with the sound and the last install of Windows 7, I didnt install any software or any updates and after 2 days the sound went all squeaky again.
I have also searched the internet for other users with the same problem and I have found loads of people with the squeaky sound with the laptop.
The sound is so off putting now I hardly use the toshiba laptop and have gone back to my old other notebook xps
My question is: Is there a work around for the drivers or just have to wait 1 or 2 years for Toshiba to fix the drivers because I dont think its a Windows problem or hardware problem.
I think its something to do with the realtek drivers

Hi
It would be interesting to know what notebook model you have exactly
I found some articles an documents in the Toshiba knowledge base about sound issues;
For example this one:
+Sound Troubleshooting+
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSD0703010000R01.htm
Here are other docs:
+Whistling sound on the Satellite L500+
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/TSB0402UB0001R01.htm
Maybe this would be helpful but if you have an Realtek sound chip then I would recommend using the Realtek sound driver too

Problems with sound regulator in Satellite A300

Hello everyone!
I have weird problem with my sound regulator in A300. When I use "wheel" in front of laptop, next to headphones input etc., sound turns up and down very irregulary- I try to turn up the sound and it twitches around constant level of volume ending at 10% of desired level. I tried to reinstall sound drivers but it didn't work and all in all I have no idea if there are any other things I can do to fix this.
Can anyone help me? Thanks.

I had the same issue with my Satellite U400.
The volume wheel controller was dirty in my case.
I used an compressed air spray and could remove the dust between the sensors.
This helped a little bit.
Now the volume level does not jump too much while increasing or decreasing the volume level.

Satellite M40-145: CD/DVD drive won't read some DVDs

Hello!
I own a Satellite M40-145 purchased just over one year ago; the DVD driver worked perfectly until three days ago, but today I discovered something... peculiar. It still reads commercial DVDs and burned DVD+R, but apparently it doesn't read burned DVD-Rs anymore. I have tried with different DVD-Rs I burned through the same DVD player, with no success; trying to access the DVD yields a "insert disk in D: drive" message.
In this case, I'm talking about movies on DVDs. Please tell me there's a way to solve this without sending the computer to customer service...
I'd hate to think it broke down just days after the expiration date of the warranty.

Hi
Well, you can try to remove the drive form the device manger.
After new reboot the drive should be recognized again. Check then if its possible to read the DVD-R CD.
But the issue sounds as a lens calibration error. If you use different media the lens must be calibrated again. But if this procedure fails, the drive is not able to read or write the DVD for example.
Unfortunately, in such cases only the drive replacement will solve this issue.
