Re: Satellite Pro U400: voice is not received correctly using Skype

Hello!
I have a little problem with my notebook. When i'm speaking with skype, using a external microphone, my voice is not received correctly.
This happens only with my laptop and only with skype.
I have tried to change ADSL line and microphone, but my voice is received always intermittently.
How can I resolve this problem?
thanks a lot for your help! Bye,
Davide.

It is not easy to say what is wrong there. As you know Skype is third part application and it is not easy to be objective about it. I use Skype on two Toshiba notebooks. In office I have Satellite A300 and at home Satellite P200D.
Generally I use headset on both of them because I think the sound quality is good and when I use headset other side can me hear much better.
Maybe sound quality depends also on your internet connection and Skype service on this certain moment.

Satellite Pro U400-15I - Sound Wheel not working after Windows 7 install

The sound wheel on my Satellite Pro U400-15l does nothing after the Windows 7 clean install from XP pro.
I used the recommended Software update tool downloaded from Toshiba. The VolumeIndicator.exe process is running and the sound works OK - just not under the control of the wheel! Also the Toshiba Power control is not there but this is not a problem.
Any suggestions welcome.

Hi Syntax,
there is no option to add the volume control to the taskbar in the control panel.
The sound driver is 'Conexant High Definition Smart Audio 221'
Interestingly, when I click on the speaker icon on the taskbar and select the mixer option I get 3 sliders called 'Device','Applications' and 'Sound Volume Indicator of Toshiba Control'. If I move this slider with my mouse I get the indicator I am looking for ( The Toshiba indicator I had under XP). However, this slider only works as a 'minimum' for the other sliders.
Thanks for your help but I still would like that volume indicator back!

Satellite Pro U400-G13 - "C++ Runtime Error" on startup

Hey Toshiba Forum Users
I just bought a Satellite Pro U400-G13
I powered it up and the auto install startet Windows Vista. The computer restartet.
After reboot a toshiba program starts up and requested a reboot more.
After that I have a "C + + Runtime Libery Error" every time I start the computer.
If I press OK the screen goes to black in 1 secound and the error shows up again.
It comes up in a "Please Wait" screen before the login screen to Windows.
I can start it in Safe Mode but do not really know what I should do with that...
Is there anyone who has tried something similar or has any good ideas for what I can do ..
Many greetings Asger Benzon

Hi
Try to reinstall the preinstalled OS using the HDD recovery option;
Like Raver said you can press the F8 button immediately after the notebook has been powered up. Then choose repair my computer and star the Toshiba Recovery procedure.
This should start the new OS installation.
After the installation has finished, reboot once again and check the OS again for any error messages.

Satellite Pro U400 - How do I get the native screen resolution for external monitor?

I have a samsung syncmaster external screen connected to a Satellite Pro U400.
The screen resolution only goes up to 1280 etc however the samsung minimum is 1440 x 920 (ish I forget).
How do I get the samsung to display the whole enlarged screen to save my eyes from the realativively small internal screen?

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.

Satellite Pro U400-23M - a good buy?

I'm thinking of buying a Satellite Pro U400-23M. I currently have [Satellite P100-208|http://uk.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/jsp/SUPPORTSECTION/discontinuedProductPage.do?service=UK&DISC_MODEL=0 &ACTION=PRINT_WITH_BACK&com.broadvision.session.ne w=Yes&PRODUCT_ID=122152] and I'm tired of the hazzle of carrying a 17" inch laptop around, it's also quite noisy.
I just wanted to get a feedback from you guys on the U400-23M series. Here are the specifications:
• Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 2.0GHz, 2MB
• 13.3" WXGA TruBrite® 1280x800
• 4GB DDR2 800MHz - max 8GB
• 160GB Serial-ATA 5400rpm. S.M.A.R.T.
• 8x DVD burner ±RW Dual Layer
• Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500MHD
• 24-bit stereo High Definition
• 10/100 ethernet adapter and 56k modem
• Wireless 54Mbps 802.11a/g
• Li-ion battery, battery life up to 3 hours (Mobile Mark 2007)
• Bluetooth, 3x USB2, FireWire, eSATA
• Built-in 1.3 megapixel webcam
• 5in1 card reader
• Input for audio and microphone
• OS: Windows Vista Business(standard) with the option of Windows XP Professional
• Weighs only 2.0kg (about 4 pounds)
• 2 year worldwide warranty
I have a few questions to you guys who own a U400 laptop.
Does this computer support 64bit processing? I'm not sure if the Vista operating system which is included is 32-bit or 64-bit.
Does it run quietly and cool when surfing the web, typing in Word and under easy workload like that? Does it get very loud and hot if it's running more demanding programs like Photoshop CS3?
I know this video card is not ment for gaming, but does it handle older games like Call of Duty 4?
Do you recommend this laptop? I tried searching the internet for reviews but I couldn't find any for the U400-23M model. What are the pros and cons on this laptop?

Hi mate
I dont have the Satellite Pro U400-23M but Im a owner of the Satellite U400-10N.
I use it in my office any I love this small baby.
You should know that the U400 has 13.3display and its smaller as the P100.
So you would notice definitely a difference.
A friend of mine said that 13.3 would be too small for him but for me its optimal. I can take it everywhere and sometimes Im working while traveling around the world
So Im very satisfied.
Ive installed Win XP on this U400 and its functions perfectly!
But you can install Vista 64bit too. The Satellite Pro U400-23M uses the Intel Core 2 Duo T5870 CPU which supports 64bit
But note; the U400 is not really a hardcore gaming notebook.
My U400 supports an Intel graphic chip and usually I use it only for office applications, (web) graphic design and web browsing.

Satellite Pro U400 - Lost network connection after suspend

I have a Toshiba Dynadock. My network is connect directly in dynadock.
When suspend my Satellite Pro U400 and after restart for continue working I lost my network connection. Then I shutdown my computer and disconnect/connect Dynadock I can continue working.
What's the problem?
Version software Dynadock is 2.0

Hi
I see you have switched from Vista to XP.
First of all I recommend updating the BIOS.
As Im not mistaken you should find a newer BIOS version on the Toshiba European driver page.
Then you have to update the Win XP to the latest state!
The XP should be up to date and all service packs, patches and MS fixes should be installed in your notebook.
Then access the device manager and mark in every USB root hub you have to disable the option called Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power
You can find this option in properties -> Power management tab

Satellite Pro U400 sometimes freezes when the power cord is plugged in

Hello! I know this problem has been discussed here and there but I would like to open a new thread on that. Here is the scenario.
I have recently bought a new Toshiba Satellite Pro U400-247 (PSU45E) with two batteries: (a) the original one, (b) additionally purchased Toshiba genuine PA3636U-1BRL, 7200 mAh. The notebook has the latest BIOS (4.80) and the latest drivers downloaded from Toshiba and installed (ConfigFree is not installed). I am using XP Pro SP3 (clean install done by myself). Everything is working very well, except for one thing:
Sometimes (but not always), when the notebook is working on battery and I plug in the power cord, everything freezes and I have to restart. Some observations:
(a) it tends to happen more frequently when the low battery alarm has already sounded;
(b) it seems to happen more frequently with the 7200 mAh battery and less frequently with the original battery;
(c) it seems to happen more often when a USB device (e.g. mouse) has been connected with the notebook, but that is not a rule;
(d) it seems to happen less frequently when I move the USB mouse at the time I am plugging in the power cord;
(e) I have experimented a lot with Toshiba PowerSaver's settings (e.g. changed the CPU levels for my profiles) but nothing I have modified seems to change the situation;
(f) I have tried various suggestions I found on different forums, but no avail (e.g. BIOS settings);
(g) otherwise, I can say that I really have not seen a smoother computer, everything else is really working just fine, no other problems whatsoever :)
All this makes me think that this must be some kind of bug in the motherboard drivers, the PowerSaver driver or other drivers interacting with the battery, the CPU or possibly USB. Is there an explanation for this problem and can it be rectified somehow (e.g. by providing a driver update)?

Hello, thanks for the reply!
My bad, of course I meant the chipset driver. That, however, does not change the essence of the question. Also, I know that a notebook should function properly even the AC adaptor is connected or not connected. That is why I posted my question.
As for the OS reinstall, sorry, I would not do that just on some wild guess from somebody. I recently finished the clean OS install. I have installed XP on dozens of notebooks in my life and I know what I am doing. I have been into computers and networking for 15 years and I know when I see a problem not related to how I install my OSes.
My personal opinion: this problem has not to do with the OS install since the same problem also existed when I test-installed the XP OS image from Toshiba's own downgrade CD (that was before I did a clean install from my own slipstreamed CD). And, if you really use a properly and carefully configured OS with all the necessary software, an OS reinstall is not something you just do every day.
As for the rest (testing the memory / adapter / motherboard etc.): as I have mentioned, similar (although not identical) topics have been raised in various other instances (e.g. at http://laptopforums.toshiba.com/t5/B...EABCA64EE6C5D9) . That means that this problem is most probably not specific to my computer or even to U400 but it may happen with other Toshiba notebooks too. Therefore a (rather standard) suggestion to spend days on reinstalling (and in my case, carefully reconfiguring) the OS, checking the memory, adapter, mobo etc. does not sound as the most plausible one in this case. FYI, I always do full tests on hardware right after I have installed an OS. In this computer, all tests (Toshiba's own; 3rd party memory diagnostics, HDD diagnostics) were passed OK. Indeed, I did not have the AC adapter tested but as it otherwise works fine, the possible problem (if there is one) would be a minor one to notice, and would require testing at a Toshiba service centre (there is no direct Toshiba agency in my country). I think testing the AC adapter is the last resort as much more probably, the problem lies somewhere else.
Even if this problem is hardware-related, I do not expect Toshiba to replace all such hardware out there. However, on many occasions, hardware-related problems can be cured or alleviated on the software side (e.g. by a driver or BIOS update). Since it seems that other people are having similar problems with Toshiba hardware/software, I thought that maybe someone has found an actual solution or maybe there are Toshiba employees reading these forums who could look into it.

Satellite Pro A200-PSAE7E is not recognising USB Sennheiser Headset

Any one can let me know why my toshiba Satellite Pro A200 - PSAE7E is not auto recognising USB Sennheiser headphones?

What do you mean with auto recognising them? As far as I know the Sennheiser ones with USB connection have a built in soundcard and therefore you would need to install the drivers.
Had Sennheisers too, but with normal stereo jack and not the USB ones. Maybe you could post the specific name of your model.
And to check if your system find your headphones anyway, go to control panel - system - device manager and watch if something changes, when you plug in your headphones.

Satellite Pro U400-13D shuts down repeatedly

Hi everyone,
I'm using the Satellite Pro U400-13D for office work only. During the last days the Notebook shuts itself down without warning during normal operation.
After a restart the problem reoccurs after a random duration.
Is this problem known? What can I do about it?
Thanks,
Alexander Lorenz

Hi Alexander!
First of all welcome in forum! :)
Regarding your issue I have one question: Can you notice that the notebook is getting hot on the bottom side? I ask this because normally a notebook shuts down if its getting to hot and so it protects the hardware. Otherwise the hardware would be damaged due a higher internal temperature.
As Akuma said you buy compressed air spray. So you can clean the notebook and this blows the dust out from the cooling ventilators. Maybe it works for you.
Furthermore about cleaning a notebook I have founded an interesting article:

If I active the AHCI mode recognizes the disc but when copying video files or large size file, the system is frozen. However if I remove the AHCI mode works correctly. I have version 9.8.9.1023 Intel(R) Matrix Storage Manager and my laptop BIOS v4.0 and SO Windows Vista Business.
Thanks in advance.

Satellite Pro 6100: Fn keys not working

Hello,
Ive got a Satellite Pro 6100 notebook. Im having trouble using the secondary function keys (im not sure what they're called!). When I press the function (Fn) button, the light below the F10 button come on as it should, but when i press any of the F buttons i.e brightness up/down, nothing works!
I had a quick look at some of the keyboard help and troubleshooter in control panel which suggested the driver may be incorrect so i tried looking for an updated driver, but windows said i have the latest driver.
Does anybody else have this problem with the SP6100? Can it be fixed? If so how?!
Any help would be great.
Thanks - Kavi.

Hi
Even the Windows said you use the latest drivers, you should reinstall the drivers.
Firstly remove the Hotkey Utility Emulator for Display Devices from Add & remove programs.
The reinstall the common modules and Hotkey Utility Emulator for Display Devices.
Hope it helps pleas let us known if it will work or not

Vista drivers for Satellite Pro U400 series

Hi,
I have a U400-142 (PSU45E) Sat Pro laptop. My IT guy wiped Vista off it (against my wishes) and stuck on XP. He even gave me a XP recovery disc! I've now removed XP and stuck back on Vista. Sadly the drives for Vista Business don't seem to be on the Toshiba Website (only XP). Does anyone know where I can get the drives or can supply them.
Thanks

Hi
I think the Vista drivers for the Satellite Pro U400 (PSU45E) will come soon.
So check from time to time the Toshiba European driver page because the drivers can be released in the next couple of days.
Please give me a feedback if you will find the drivers!!!

Does your external hard drive have it's own power supply? It should.
Is your external hard drive formatted with the NTFS file system? It won't work.
It needs to be formatted either with Mac OS Extended or FAT32.
(There are drivers available to add NTFS support to OS X but their quality is unknown, especially the "free" ones.)

Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D

Using the New Mac Pro (can) - AE will not let me use Race Traced 3-D
Hi, I'm using the new Mac Pro
2.7 GHz 12-core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB
OSX 10.9.2
I'm using After Effects 12.2.1.5
When I attempt to invoke the race trace 3D renderer in a comp, I get this error
"After Effects Error: Ray-traced 3D: Out of paged mapped memory for ray tracer. Your project may exceed GPU limits. Try closing other applications. Try updating the CUDA driver. (5070::2)"
My preferences are set to use the CPU for Raytraced 3D since I do not have an Nvidia card.
So, obviously there is an issue here in that it thinks I have an Nvidia card.
I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
So my question is, what files can I delete/reset to cause After Effects to no longer look for CUDA files that do not exist on this machine?
I do not have the CUDA control panel in System Prefs, so THAT did not carry over.
Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks!

> I know (or assume I know) the cause for this is that when I set up this machine, I used Apple's migration assistant to move most of my data over from the previous gen Mac Pro which DID have a CUDA card.
Ugh. That causes so many problems.
The first thing to try is deleting the CUDA frameworks from your Mac: Look in /Library/Frameworks for the CUDA.Framework and get rid of it.

I have flattened a take folder, but Logic Pro X will still not let me use the crossfade tool on the clip. How can I crossfade a flattened take folder?

Please repost in the Final Cut Pro forum. Have you considered upgrading your machine, if you are still running Leopard your machine may be as old as 5 years old. While this should not matter you probably won't get the performance you want out of a demanding app like FCP.
Best of luck.
