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

Poor sound quality windows 8

I'm having problems with iTunes and Windows 8. I'm on a Dell XPS12 (flip screen). Every time I try to watch a movie in iTunes, the video gets a bit jittery and the sound is crackling very badly. It makes for an unpleasant experience. Any ideas on what the problem could be?

Poor sound quality in timeline and export; fine in Source?

Hello all.
Newbie to Pr but experienced pro in digital audio. I'm stumped and know I'm just missing something somewhere.
I've made a music video for one of my songs. The graphics are all done (in AE), imported to Pr and eveything looks great. I import the final mix of the audio and it sounds very low quality when played from the timeline and in the final output, regardless of format (I've tried several presets and custom settings as well). I played around and noticed that the audio sounds fine when played from the Source window inside Premier.
The Pr session is comrised of 18 video tracks (not all playing at once, of course) and one stereo audio track.
I've tried re-exporting the audio from Logic at different bit depths, sample rates and file formats (mp3, wav, AAC, etc) but the results are the same every time: Source (Pr)sounds fine, Logic output sounds fine, rendered / timeline playback sounds like very low quality mp3 and final product sounds just as bad.
I've tried everything I can think of. I hope one of you can show me what I'm missing.
TIA!

Thank you for the reply!
I was experiencing the same results no matter what export settings I used. Plus the poor sound quality was present in the timeline itself, without even exporting the project.
I finally threw my hands up, started a completely new project, drug the same audio file in... sounded fine. Copied / Pasted the video clips from the original, broken project and boom, eveything is fixed. Yeah, corrupted Pr file it turns out. All I had to do was start a new project and import all the old components.
I've had to do this in Logic a lot (increasingly, these days). I just wish I'd tried it 10 hours earlier! Ha.
Anyway, problem solved, and thanks very much!

Poor sound - FIX - well possibly

Hi guys,
Don't know if this helps you but I was experiencing low sound volumes when playing dvds but all other sound levels were fine (ie windows beeps and system sounds etc.).
Installed AC3 audio filter and went into the control panel for that and incresed the master gain. now my dvds play at an acceptable level.
Start Menu -> Programs -> AC3Filter and run AC3Filter Confiig. Increase the Master at Gain, click Apply and OK. You will notice that the DVD movie volume has been increased.
Sorry I don't know enough about sound to see why this works but it worked for me.
Hope this helps
Now if only can sort out low mic volume issue
Regards
Rob

dancecertified,
I did try to install sp40714.exe by following your instructions. I tried twice. Both times, I uninstalled the default IDT driver from Add/Remove programs, rebooted, then installed sp40714.exe. Both times, after the installation, when I tried to connect any of my USB storage devices, or SD cards, it started asking me to install the drivers, which it could not find.
This is the second time that I had to format and re-install XP from the recovery disk.
This is where I am right now. I'm on the original sound drivers, vanilla XP install, but at least I can plug in all of my USB peripherals.
I've chatted with HP support twice, both times they told me to try to re-install the latest XP driver (sp42298.exe), which not only brought back the old poor sound quality, but didn't frix the USB storage recognition problem.

Poor sound quality on some iTunes songs

Downloaded some songs from iTunes and realized a really poor sound quality on some files.
The worst example is "Precious" from "Depeche Mode" (Album version). It seems to me that the AAC file is encoded at a much too high level, so its overdriven and distorted.
If i burn the song to CD and than analyze the track in WaveLab it is obvious that the song was encoded with a level more than 6dB over the usual level and i can see a lot of clippings.
Downloaded another song of another band that i allready have on CD, just to compare... and this song was much better. Even this was 3dB over the original CD level (and the song on CD had a peak level reserve of only 0.1dB), but while listening that song i heared no negative effects...
So from my point of view iTunes is not really an acceptable offer if i can't rely on a minimum sound quality of the songs that i pay for!
So, the question is:
Is this normal or is the "Depeche Mode" album only one rare bad example???

Yes, of cause, tried all.
EQ off, or EQ with all sliders a little below 0dB.
With my tests i saw no effect of the EQ to the CD burning quality.
Only if i change the CD burning options (in german "Lautstärke anpassen", something like "adapt volume" or so), than i get a CD that has the same bad quality, only at a lower volume.
The same distorted and overdriven sound with clippings at a lower level (peak -12dB).
What if it's really a bad file?
Do they fix such files?
Will i have a chance to download it again? (without paying another time?)

hi Sylph!
just checking ... was this the KB doc you looked at?
iTunes and QuickTime for Windows: Songs and other audio don't play correctly
if so, did you try the other possibilities listed there?
(since you've got itunes 6.0.x, you'll need to try the QT 7 version of the waveout fix.)

Satellite L875D-S7332 sound issues on Win 10 upgrade

Hi all, I upgraded my Satellite L875D-S7332 laptop from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 this weekend, and have been trying to troubleshoot a sound problem since. The sound appears to hitch intermittently (every 10-20 seconds or so) emitting a buzzing noise from the speakers. I tried updating to the most recent Realtek HD audio drivers and rolling back my Realtek drivers, both of which made no difference. When I revert back to Windows 8.1, everything sounds fine again. So I think it must have something to do with the sound card or driver's compatability with Windows 10, but I could be wrong. Windows update wants me to upgrade again, and I'd like to, but the sound's got to function right. Specs:Satellite L875DAMD A6-4400M APU with Radeon Graphics 2.7 GHzRAM: 6.00 GB I'd appreciate anyone's help, as I'm at a loss at the moment.

Wow - sound like you are having a bad time of it with the upgrade. If you have an AMD APU processor - which I assume you have, like A6, A8 etc. Usually AMD has integrated drivers for both the video and the audio of the computer. Have you gone to AMD's website with your specific APU (Integrated Processor and GPU) to see if they have updated drivers for Windows 10? Your laptop manufacturer, (I assume HP) should also have them, but HP seems to be asleep at the switch with this OS release. Check out the AMD site and do a search for your specific APU. There should be some integrated drivers for Windows 10 posted. Usually you just execute the .exe file and it installs everything. It would be worth a shot anyway before you revert back to Windows 8. And....yes you can easily roll back to your last Operating system. Here's a link to an article on how to do this: http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/how-to/windows/how-downgrade-windows-10-to-windows-7-8-3615606/

Start Navigation sound in Windows 7 64 bit dissappeared

? [size="">I have been scratching my head over this one.
[size="">After doing a clean install of Windows 7 64 bit on a new build this week, and installing a new X-Fi PCIe Titanium Fatality Pro, I found the start navigation windows sound was no longer there - I am talking about the brief sound you hear, that sounds like a click, when you click a link, double click a folder to open , etc. I could find the sound in windows sounds, but when I pressed test I could not hear it.
[size="">
[size="">After much trial and error, I discovered that I had to disable sound blaster enhancements, in the properties tab for speakers in the sound card settings. I now have that windows sound back.
[size="">When I enable sound blaster enhancements, it goes away, when I disable them, it is back to normal.
[size="">
[size="">Is this normal or unique to me?

Wow, that fixed? my problem also by disabling soundblaster enhancements. How were you able to figure that one out? I was trying to figure it'sout also many months ago when I first got windows 7 beta and couldn't do it. Anyway,
Seems like most people don't like this start navigation sound, but I do.
I don't like the fact of having to disable soundblaster enhancements also.
Have you noticed that if you change the windows theme to something else it will actually work?

Poor performance in Windows 8.1

Hello,
I recently have switched to Windows 8, and have noticed that Jabber performance is extremely poor. In Windows 7 I had no issues. Everything appears to work fine until I start joining chat rooms. Some of the rooms I'm in see a large amount of activity, when I first join it starts syncing up the messages quickly at first, but as it goes it gets slower and slower. Once it is caught up, when I try to switch to other chat rooms or people, it freezes for 15 - 30 seconds and then switched to the chat tab I'm clicking on.
This is rather frustrating, I'm currently using 10.6.0 Build 1, any suggestions?
Thanks!

Hello,
The RAM usage is ~60 - 70MB, nothing too bad. I was monitoring it a bit and it looks like the constraint is the CPU. I'm running an i5 and it's consistently taking up 30 - 40% !! When it locks up it spikes to 100%.
These are persistent chat rooms, but is evident even when I'm not in the chat rooms. After a few hours of operation Jabber becomes utterly unusable.
I've also tried re-installing, it has had no effect.
Thanks,

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,

Poor sound after updating to ISO 7

Poor sound after updating to ISO 7. Before updating i had terrific sound both on my music and videos I recorded with my cam, i had to turn it down. Now, after update, i put volym on Max and can hardly hear the music or whatever. Anyone else with same problem?

I also loved my iphone because it HAD great sound. Since the update of the iso7 for my iphone 4s, i am missing my calls because I cannot hear the phone ringing. The sound is so low even though I have it on the highest sound possible. The is something in the update that caused this problem among others such as the phone blinking out while I am viewing videos. Help Apple! THe battery is going from 100 percent to 20 percent in two hours even when I have almost turned off everything on my iphone. I need my sound back! Apple please find out what happened in your update that caused the loss of the sound!

Never used microphone input before, sound recorder window okay, no sound output.

Sound from sound recorder input goes nowhere, a sound window is supposed to open, it does not.
There is some software missing in my pavilion g7 laptop. Media player sound is fine, internet sound
is fine, only sound missing is from the microphone input. The sound recorder window is open and the
recording bar is moving as the input varies, how do I get the sound to the speakers. Never used this
option before, it might be defective from the factory.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Problem solved. You cannot turn on computer with the microphone or other audio cable plugged in.
Otherwise the computer does not respond to the inputs, you have to plug in the microphone or audio
cable after logging in and then a window will open that allows you to select the that input over the default.
