Re: Very poor sound on Equium A100

Hi. I have a Equium A100 with sound problems. The best I can describe it is that it sounds like a Dalek.
I'm running Xp pro. I've uninstalled and re installed the driver a few times in the hope that would sort it, but that hasn't worked.
Anyone got any ideas?
Thanks in advance.

Its a A100-147 and yes you are right, originally with XP ME. I then went to Vista then back to XP ME and then recently to XP pro.
Never had a problem with the sound for the first few weeks with Xp pro and not had any other problems other than the sound.
Windows tells me I have the right driver when I try to update it but also says that it hasn't been signed by microsoft.
Its a Realtek.
Sounds the same through headphones.
Thanks for the reply.
Tom.

The L505-S5990 laptop (and other models in the L505 series line which use the Realtek HD audio drivers) have not been configured properly when they were initially shipped. This is a two step process.
First, either update to the latest Toshiba audio drivers via the Toshiba Support web site, or by downloading the latest Realtek HD Audio drivers from the Realtek website.
Second, once the audio drivers have been updated, enable "Loudness Equalization" on either the Start --> Hardware and Sound --> Realtek HD Audio Manager --> Sound Effects tab, then click OK to save the setting change. Or on the Start --> Hardware and Sound --> Sound --> Speaker Properties (select Speakers then the Properties button) --> Enhancements tab, scroll down the list of sound effects to enable "Loudness Equalization" then select the OK button to save the setting changes.
Once the drivers have been updated and the "Loudness Equalization" has been enabled the system sound audio level is much louder, however you may find the DVD and Audio CD audio levels are still low. No real fix for that issue yet from Toshiba other than to experiment with the various sound settings.

My iphone5s continually drops calls and has very poor sound for callers sooo disappointed compared with iPhone 4 from which I've just upgrade

I am so disappointed as my iPhone 5 s is very poor for calls and repeatedly drops calls. I've contacted Orange and done a reset to factory settings with no improvement.These calls are to landlines. My iphone4 was excellent in comparison . I've requested an Apple support call tomorrow - any other suggestions or similar experiences? Call bars are much lower too on this new phone and wifi fails too with frequent fail to connect to server messages. I so regret having this phone..

I had major issues with the iPhone 4s battery, however it’s resolved.
The tech who set the phone up at the Apple store did so with little training.
if you have a mobile me account. First go and move all your data to the cloud by going on your computer and logging in at me.com/move. The cloud has replaced mobile me, so there is no need for those two accounts
Also make sure that for any of your email accounts you set them up to fetch, not push. My tech person set them all to have the email servers push data to the phone. The new iphone4s antenna is extremely strong so it will continually try to access stuff that is pushed–***** a lot of battery life doing this. It makes it worse if you have exchange 2010 accounts. Something about changes made to exchange really suck battery life from devices that access such accounts.
turning of locator and the push notifications from facebook--they have a lot!

Very poor sound volume

Im pretty sure that my macbook volume is lower than it should be. My friends music sounds much louder on his. How can i change this?

the macbook has notoriously poor speaker volume anyway. the fact that theyre set back facing the display panel and probably not very high powered to begin with, its unlikely youll get very good results out of them.

Very poor sound from internal speakers, very good on headphones.

Hi,
I hope you can give some advice.
New to all this so apologies if protocols are broken etc
New 20" imac, running Leopard.
very thin, tinny sound from internal speakers (similar to hearing someone's else's walkman
on the train). when I plug headphones in its great no probs.
Advice please! I don't want to send it back I'm halfway through my assignment.
Hadders

I just realized I've never heard the internal speakers on my new iMac, I have always used good 2.1 speakers since I got my eMac years ago and the internals really sucked.
I was just curious, have you heard anybody elses built in iMac speakers and did they sound better than yours or the same? Maybe at the Apple Store?
I don't know, I just didn't know if they really improved them. Maybe other iMac users can chime in on internal speaker quality. The only reason I said all this was because you mentioned that headphones sound great, which is the same port that a set of external speakers would go.
Sorry to hear you had to send it back for that. Here's hoping you didn't have to send it in for what the speakers really do sound like.

Very poor sound quality on bluetooth headphones through HP Envy 700-074 desktop

I recently purchased a pair of Bose AE2W wireless bluetooth headphones to use with my HP Envy 700-074 desktop computer. After successfully pairing the headphones the sound quality is extremely poor. I know the headphones are not the pronblem since they sound beautiful when paired with my iPhone or iPad.
I have tried updating the driver, but I have the most current version installed according to the computer. Adjustment of the Beats Audio controls or any other sound controls does not help.

Toshiba Sataite c855d-s5307 VERY poor sound

I have the Toshiba Satilite c855d-s5307, maxed out to it's highest specs, but the sound is quite horrible. Very tinny and hollow. It is also very soft even with all sound sliders up to 100%.
I installed ALL the latest drivers via the Toshiba download site and have had no luck. I tried all the sound settings and even the Toshiba sound enhancements and equalizer but no luck.
What can I do?
Cheers,

Very poor sound on the toshiba laptop 205e

I bought this computer aat Best Buy a toshiba laptop E-205 and I have a serious sound problem. The sound is so weak that I can hardly hear it.

My A210 at exactly two years lost audio volume. Of course, out of warrantly. I can get clear sound from external speaker, but unacceptably low volume. Seems that I should be able to get an amplfier that would boost the sound, but no luck so far. Has anyone come up with a fix?

Equium A100-549 - no sound

Hi,
I just downloaded the sound driver for Equium A100-549 but my media player still doesn't have any sounds. What can i do?

Hi
You should also check if the Mute was not enabled.
With the key combination FN+ESC you can enable and disable the sound.
Like above suggested check also the sound volume controller. It sounds very silly but many people forget to set it to the higher level.

Equium A100-147 Virtual Sound reinstall problem

I have read a few posts relating to the same problem I have, but with no definitive answer. I have the Equium A100-147 with Windows XP Media Center. I downloaded some up to date files from the Toshiba site (all for my model), including:
acsil-xpmce-100008-en

toupad-xpmce-10001st-en
and then: tvs-xpmce-10312-en (latest Virtual Sound driver for the A100-147)
I uninstalled the old version of the Virtual Sound driver before attempting to install the new one. But as I have seen elsewhere, I get the message:
"Toshiba Virtual Sound does not support your computer."
I have spent all afternoon looking up and trying to think of ways to fix this. I have since updated my BIOS (bios-550win). Not one thing I try will make it work. I have even deleted references to Virtual Sound in the registry in case there was any conflict going on. It has made no difference though.
Could someone from Toshiba please explain why I am being told that I cannot install what was working perfectly well until this morning, prior to these updates, which are all for my notebook model? It's ridiculous. Apologies for my tone, but having wasted hours on this, I am extremely frustrated and just want my laptop back the way it was (and before you ask, yes, I have tried a System Restore, but that does not work either).
Thanks,

I ran some report the other night... not sure if this gives a clue to anything:
TVSASI v1.002 - TOSHiBA Virtual Sound Audio Service Information

So the Realtek driver works fine, but still cannot installed the Virtual sound driver.

Equium A100-147 - System slow and sound distorted

Hi, Help needed.
I have the Equium A100-147, been working fine for a couple of year but in the last few weeks has ground practically to a halt, takes between 5-10 mins to startup and when starting and once started the sound is as if the memory is running slow (like distorted) this even at sign in when the windows tune plays.
Laptop has 2.5GB memory so should be plenty and 18GB free s not running low. Running XP SP2 MCE. Had zone alarm running, thinking this could be the problem have now switched to AVG, but still the same.
CPU in use when system idle, i.e. just started with no applications running fluctuates bbetween 25 and 55%
Any ideas on what it could be before I rebuild
Thanks
Gaffar

Hi
I think this is a known problem of Windows that its getting slower after one year or two years ;)
I think you should try to defragment your HDD and to delete some programs that you dont need. Then clean your system using CCleaner.
Disable all programs in start up that you dont need.
Furthermore you should AntiVir. In my opinion its the best freeware antivirus program that you can have.
Last but not least you should try to update the sound driver. Check the Toshiba website for a newer version.

Equium-A100-147 - broken sound and video

Hi everyone,
I have the Equium A100-147, Its been working fine for last couple of year.
But in the last few weeks has get problem in sound and video (broken sound and video).
The sound is breaking and sometimes uable to listen + video breaking and so much delay due to its get so slow with so much sound distorsion etc..
This remains after new installation (format HDD) of Wind XP unable to fix even installed new drivers.
The Device Manager shows all drivers including audio and video working ok, d'nt know what's problem please help me.
Thanks.

Hi
Something like that can happen during high HDD activity this means that the reading/writing process could affect the sound/video playback
But usually this should not take long time
At the other hand this can happen because of higher temperature
High temperature can affect the CPU and GPU performance
I think you have used this notebook for couple of month without any troubles in my opinion you should check if cooling modules and fans are clogged and could remove the dust and debris from cooling modules use compressed air spray this helps p get rid of dust
Maybe then the notebook will run much better

No sound or very poor one from front speakers T7900 system

I have a T7900 system and sudenly I have no more sound or a very poor one from the front speakers (left and right). The others (central, rear and subwoofer are working fine). I tried all configurations posible and from the control panel but still no result.
Anyone can help?

Hi,
Try swapping the front speakers with the others, this should tell you if the speakers are faulty. You might want to get in touch with support for further assistance on this.
