Qosmio G20 - Searching for audio drivers

I've accidentally wiped the audio drivers to my Qosmio G20 PQG20-009002 (I bought it in October 2005) and can't find my back-up/recovery disks to fix it. Anyone able to point me in the right direction to get replacement drivers?
Thanks

Hi buddy,
Usually you can find all drivers and tools on official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
But you have to search in *Archive* because your notebook is an older model.
I hope it helps :)

Can't add printer, stuck in the eternal "searching for new drivers"

ah, the leopard upgrade mixed blessing continues....
so of course i have no printers available now that i've installed leopard. and of course i need to print TONIGHT. so i went to add the printer while it was plugged into the port - - and this is AFTER reinstalling the drivers from the cd, AND installing all the printer drivers from the leopard cd (this is an epson stylus photo 1400). And i click to add a printer, and the epson stylus does appear in the list, and proceeds to "search for new drivers" before it will let me do anything.... and it spins forever.
it doesnt help that i'm also having the internet problems that many people are having now too.... and i'm not sure if it's consistent, but i think my internet does cut out eventually after it goes into this driver search.
any help at all?
thanks in advance-----

Just wanted to add another voice to this chorus of dismay. While I have properly installed Leopard; re-installed the manufacturer driver (brother HL-2040) reinstalled the Leopard Printer drivers from the optional install Leopard folder, when I go to find printer drivers (none show up initially) I end up getting a pull down menu offering Canon IJ; Epson FireWire;Epson TECP/IP/and HP IP Printing; and that's it. None of the drivers installed show up not even the one brother HL-2040 installed from the manufacturer's disc.(which is all this modest user needs.)
The bottom line: I can't print anything. I tried the reset option mentioned in one of your posts. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Mitchull

Eternally "searching for new drivers"...

Hi all,
I just upgraded to Leopard and can't seem to print from my CX4200. I went to Print & Fax, clicked the "+" to add a printer, and I can see my EPSON Stylus CX4200 (USB) in the printer list. I click on it, and the "searching for new drivers" begins with the spinning gear. The system gets hung up here, and I cannot add the printer. The gear just keeps on spinning. The "Print Using" pulldown menu and the "Add" button are also both grayed out, so I can't do anything once this happens.
I tried as many troubleshooting steps as I could find, including the software Print Therapy, and still no luck. I'm avoiding a Leopard reinstall (until the last resort) because I had some other problems with the system updgrade already.
Any ideas?

I'd visit Epson's Web site and download a driver for your printer. Run the driver installer in "uninstall' mode first, then in "install" mode. Epson driver installers don't seem to do a good job of cleaning up prior material without the "uninstall" step.

Leopard-Searching for new drivers: Canon iP5000

I have recently installed Leopard. When I try to print I get a box stating that no printer is selected. I go to Add Printer . . . and another window pops up with a list and there is my Canon iP5000/USB. When I select it I get a message in the window that says "searching for new drivers" and the spinning gear goes for awhile and then just blinks. I tried installing the Canon driver update from Nov but that did not work. Can anyone help me?

I had the exact same problem, although my printer is an iP1500. I tried everything listed here, except the Gimp drivers, to no avail.
When the spinning gear froze on the Add Printer window, I opened the Activity Monitor, double clicked on the Add Printer process and listed open files. I realized that there were a lot of open EPSON driver files. I found this strange, since I have no EPSON printers anywhere in my network. I assumed that something else was interfering with the driver search process.
I solved the problem by doing the following:
- sudo mv /Library/Printers /Library/Printers_Orig
- mkdir /Library/Printers
- chmod 775 /Library/Printers
- mv /Library/Printers_Orig/Canon/ /Library/Printers/
In essence, the above instructions remove everything except the Canon drivers from the location which the Add Printer application uses to search. When I tried again, the correct driver was almost immediately loaded.
My guess is that the Add Printer application searches everything in the Printers directory and that some other driver (EPSON maybe?) is either corrupt or conflicts somehow with the Canon printer. By leaving only the relevant drivers, the problem goes away.

Stuck on "searching for new drivers"

I've connected a Dymo LabelWriter 450 to the USB port on my Mac (after installing the Dymo software and restarting).
When I go into Add Printer and select the Dymo driver, I get a message saying "searching for new drivers" and a spinning beachball - and it never returns.
I searched the forum and there was a previous thread on the "searching for new drivers"problem that was closed without any resolution.

It would be really helpful if someone came up with a solution to this problem. I get this hang on 'searching for new drivers' with two different HP printers- both recognised by Bonjour but it seems impossible to add them. I only managed to get one of them working (and HP 5850) by installing an opensource HP driver (HPIJS 2.7.10 for Mac) designed originally for Linux users. To get this to work I first had to install foomatic and ghostsript for Mac OS X. See http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/OpenPrinting/MacOSX/hpijs
The second printer is an HP 2570 and this is still causing problems.

Satellite Pro A40: Cannot play musik - searching for audio controller

Hi
I have a satellite pro A40, my DVD rom drive wont work anymore and I keep getting a message about searching for hardware for a multimedia audio controller!!!
Cant play music or anything anymore.
Can i download these drivers safely?
Don't want to clog up computer with random downloads from internet.
If anyone can help me I would eternally grateful

hi satproa40,
you can safely download all drivers for your satellite from: [http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp]
the "multimedia audio controller" means the sound driver,
if previously installed it may help to delete this item in the device manager and let it reinstall by system.
same procedure with the dvd-rom, if this wont work try to exchange the drive...

HP Pavilion a1210n with Windows Vista 32bit. looking for audio drivers. Can you point me to a link?

Hello,
I have an HP Pavilion a1210n running Windows Vista 32bit. I'm missing the audio drivers and can't seem to find them. Can you point me to a link for these drivers?
Thanks, It's much appricieated!

I found this link but it doesn't talk about audio drivers in the multimedia package. Am I missing something? Does Vista need to have all OS updates installed for this to work?
Thanks again!

"Searching for new drivers" error

I have an imac G5. The printer HP PSC 1600 series is connected to Airport Extreme. The iMac reconizes the printer but keeps on searching for drivers and ultimately gives the error "server-error-service-unavailable." I downloaded and installed HP Print OS X driver, but it still doesnt work.

Thanks for the reply DOGG.
I should have stated in my first post that I tried all the usb outlets on the computer and even tried a 4 slot usb expander to no avail.
I don't have an extra usb a/b cable and both Staples and Radio Shack want $20 for that item. (Found it for <$3 on Amazon, go figure). So for a quick answer I took the cable to work and found a computer/printer with the same cable. I replaced that cable with mine and it worked fine. I suppose I will tear into it at least a little to "jiggle, tap and tighten" but it looks like a new printer is in my immediate future.
Thanks again,
Mark

I am trying to connect a printer but when the pc searches for the drivers/software it says there are none for this version of lion? 10.8 I have downloaded drivers for the 10.7 version but still cannot get it to accept any ideas?

I have a xerox phaser printer which I want to connect to my mac book but each time it says there is no software to support the version of lion I have!
I have downloaded the software for the 10.7 but that hasnt helped... any ideas?? thanks

You will have to try the xerox website for the latest drivers for Mac OX system you are using
http://www.support.xerox.com/support/engb.html
It may be that your printer is not supported. You do not specify which model you have so unable to help further.

When I was using iMovie an error message came up saying to please move the play head to an open audio section when I was in searching for audio to insert into my project however there was no audio in that section of the project I was trying to add it to.

Not able to insert audio into IMovie due to an error message

I only have one video project that I ever published to iDisk. It didn't have any music or photo files attatched to it, just a few clips stitched together. I can play these clips right now in the Event Library (so I know the source files are on my computer), but strangely, under the Project Library, the project is not there. I'm almost certain that I didn't store the project on iDisk; I just completed the video and published it to iDisk (as a .mov file I think) for family to see. I've tried to figure out how to get iDisk to stop looking for this project to no avail.
I don't know if others have experienced this, but if I click on any project and on the menu bar select Share --> Remove From --> Media Browser... it lists iPod, iPhone, iPad, tv, Computer and MobileMe. Why would MobileMe be an option here? This is the case for any video project I select. Didn't iLife '11 and/or OSX 10.8 remove all mention of MobileMe? I wonder if this is part of the problem too.
Edit: I just removed every project I have from the Media Browser. Still no luck.

Searching for audio files in the Browser

Hi,
I've recently ripped all of my SFX libraries to AIFF files but am having some trouble with using the Search functionality of the Browser.
When ripping the CDs, I wrote an Applescript to pull the descriptions from a spreadsheet and put it in the Spotlight Comment for each file. This works great for Spotlight searches from Finder but seems to be next-to-useless for Soundtrack (Pro) as it only seems to find results based on filenames.
Then I tried a different approach. I wrote another Applescript to copy the Spotlight Comment for each file and paste it into the Comment field in the metadata for each file (via iTunes). Again, this works great in Finder using a Spotlight search but makes no difference to the results in Soundtrack.
Each time I re-indexed my files within Soundtrack (as a side note, does anyone know where this indexing information gets stored? I'd like to have a look at it)
I briefly had a look at Appleloop Utility but it seems to offer nothing apart from vague categorisation of the files.
Can anyone explain what the search function within Soundtrack actually searches or see where I'm going wrong or offer some help?
Thanks,
Neil

Searching for Latest Drivers

Hi everyone, I just purchased a new laptop, here it is: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834888158 I am not sure how to find the latest drivers for this system. It came with a driver disc, but I have no idea if they are the latest or if I can update any of them. I tried going to HP's support page and letting it autodetect my system, but it thought I was running a 1200 W server. Not quite! Does anybody know what system I am running and how to update drivers for it? I did install the drivers on the disc, but I have one "yellow triangle" in Device Manager: BCM20702A0. Anybody know how to fix this? Thank you, Bycote

'searching for new drivers' endlessly after leopard installation

Cannot print after installing 10.5.1 on my g4 MacBook. It 'sees' the printer, but it cant bring up the driver. I have tried a Canon PM500 and an HP 2400, connected to USB port and to my Airport base station, I have done the special installation from the disk for both Canon and HP, I have 'reset printing system', I have downloaded drivers from Canon website. I reinstalled (regular) 10.5 on the G4 MacBook.They all say installation successful, and the printer is recognized in the printer chooser, but then the spiral turns endless looking for driver. The printing to the same printer from my MacBookPro (intel) works fine.
Any suggestions

on the 'rinting' topics, someone suggested throwing away all the drivers and downloading from the websiet. And it worked.
thanks to all who thought about it
