Satelite a305-S6872 Sound is completely out

Hi all, I have a frustrating sound issue. As the subject line suggests, the sound on my laptop (running Vista 32) is completely out. It worked yesterday and there were no issues when I shut the computer down, nothing to suggest a speaker failure. I did not download or install anything during that time that would stop the speakers from working either. The sound plain doesn't work, even when I plug in headphones, there is no sound. The speakers are not muted, the Realtek devices say they are working properly. I tried to test the speakers and I get an error pop up that says "Error! Failed to play test tone." I have tried reinstalling the sound drivers and that did not fix the problem either. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! Thank you! Gabe

hi gabe,
i have a same laptop with the same problem, except i do not get any error message when testing.
i even tried the recovery media to no avail. wonder how you fixed this no sound problem. thanks.

  • Satellite A305-S6872 - S/P DIF output port (shared with headphone port)

    The A305-S6872 manual specifies that I could use the same output port of the headphone  to get the S/PDIF digital sinal.
    Can anyone help me to understand what is the right cable to use this output to take the audio digital signal to my home theater (which has a digital coax as input)?
    If I use one cable P2 to RCA, the RCA and has 2 plugs (as P2 is stereo) - can I use one of the jacks to plug in the home theater coax digital input?
    Tks for your assistance,
    Best
    Rodrigo

    It's an optical digital out.
    You need a optical mini to Toslink cable.
    And, of course, a reciever or other decoder with an optical input.
    The cable would be like the following:

    Oh, and don't overpay for a cable from some big name brand, you're just paying for marketing smoke and mirrors.

    Hi
    The Satellite A305-S6872 seems to be a Toshiba US notebook and therefore you should take a look on the Toshiba US driver page:

    There you should find your notebook model and the drivers.

  • Left, right, or both sound channels cutting out

    Hello folks,
    This is a second thread I am creating to ask some questions about this other problem I have:
    I have a fourth-gen ipod photo. I bought it just before they rolled out the ipod color. I have used this device pretty heavily, I take it with me everywhere I go. I've tried to take good care of my iPod... no major drops, minimal jars, only unplugging it when there's no I/O access, and trying not to charge it until the battery is low.
    For several months I have been having issues with sound channels on my headphones cutting out. At first, it was just annoying: left or right sound channel cutting out, fixed simply by nudging the headphone plug in the jack.
    Lately, however, this is becoming a bigger problem. This problem does not affect the ipod playing back music in any way, aside from the fact that sometimes the ipod will think I've unplugged the headphone.
    Now, sound will completely cut out. Sometimes I hear nothing. Sometimes fidelity will drop pretty heavily and everything sounds like I was listening to my music underwater. Sometimes, just the left or right sound channels cut out. Again, all of this fixes itself by wiggling the headphone jack in its plug.
    I use a pair of $20 walmart special Sony Street Style (very nice sound quality, actually) in most cases, but also use it with a pair of American Audio DJ headphones. The Sony headphones have an L-shaped plug, but the AA headphones have a more traditional sticks-straight-out plug.
    I am looking to fix this problem myself. I plan on opening up my iPod to install a new battery and maybe fix the other problem I am having (see my other thread), and I am not afraid of the insides of the device.
    What I am asking is if anyone else has had this problem, or a something similar? My guess is that the headphone jack's solderpoints on the PCB have become loose, so if I go in there and resolder the jack then I hope everything is hunky-dory. I've seen repair sites that sell the entire headphone assembly for like $50. Would it be better just to replace the whole thing?
    Please note that I have no intentions (nor the money) to have a "genius" fix my iPod. (Where's the fun in that, anyway?) Further, I can not afford (and will not buy) another iPod, so that's out too. I am simply looking to fix my iPod and keep limping along until I can afford a newer mp3 player.
    Any help is appreciated
    tom

    Hello,
    It looks to me that it can be caused by the bad contact of the metal parts of earphone jack or the loose of its solder with the mother board. Both of them should not be too difficult to deal with if you are good in small elect. device.

  • A305 - S6872 Laptop CD/DVD Rom does not show up on "My Computer"

    How to I fix this problem. There's a "!" mark in the "Device Manager" for the cd/dvd rom drive.

  • I need help getting sound to come out of my TV when using HDMI. Any solutions?

    I'm able to pull up my picture when connecting my HDMI cable to my Macbook pro...however I can't get the sound to come out of my Toshiba TV.  When I go under system preferences, then sound and select my Toshiba TV as an option.  It says it has no output controls.  I fiddled with my sound setting in my TV and stil no luck.   Does anyone know any solutions for this problem.  Help is greatly appreciated.

    Hey jbarwins
    Check to make sure that you are up to date on your computer. Another recommendation would be to try a different cable and also reset the NVRAM on your computer.

  • Why is my bluetooth speaker connected but sound only comes out of the computer speakers?

    My bluetooth speaker (JBL Charge 2) is shown as "connected in the blu tooth section of the task bar. I have also gone to system preferences and the speakers are also shown to be connected and chosen as the main speakers. However, no sound comes out of the bluetooth speaker but rather the sounds still comes out of the computer. speakers. I have tried connecting, reconnecting, and restarting computer. The bluetooth speaker is also shown as connected in bluetooth preferences. What is wrong?

    I have tried to connect and Jambox and have the same problem; bluetooth speakers are connected and chosen but sound comes out of computer speakers.

  • TS2634 I bought a ipad back in December and the ear buds never worked.  The sound doesnt come out of what you put in your ear but comes out of the little hole on the outside of the ear buds.  Is this supposed to be this way?

    The earbuds that came with my ipad have never worked.  They have sound that comes out of the outside hole of the earbuds.  When you put them in your ears no sound can be heard.  Has this been a problem or did mine just come broken?

    I have the same problem and it has just started in the last day or so...
    Got the phone late July and then in the last day, everytime I plug into PC or take a photo,  I get the same "Disk Error / Retry message"
    What is interesting is that I always had the Photo Storage location as the Memory Card (detachable).   Seems odd that sometime in the last month or so the phone decided to change my setting to the Mass Memory. Might have been an firmware update that I have done in the past but not sure.
    Changing the Photo Storage Location back to the Memory Card has stopped the error coming up everytime a Photo wastaken, but the message continues when I plug in the phone to the PC.
    Phone was just updated to latest firmware this morning and that has not helped, although during the back-up process I could not save some files from the Mass Memory.
    I wonder if Optus will shout a new phone because their technicians are useless with past experiences and to be honest the N97 really promises so much but offers very little compared to all of my last Nokia's.

    I have a iPad and I connect it to my tv through hdmi but would like the sound to come out through the headphone socket, can I make this happen.

    Go to System Preferences>Sound>Output  and make sure that you selected the right output. I think if yo use HDMI you might not be abe to select another output.
