Satellite A105-S4284: cracking audio and sound

Hi,
I have a Toshiba Satellite A105-s4284 notebook. When I play audio files (wma, mp3, wav) the sound occasionally produces a cracking (scratching) noise and its VERY VERY annoying, people that share this problem know just how disturbing it is, especially when you pay 1100 euros for a core duo processor with 1GB ram notebook (which you thought would be perfect for use).
Is it a hardware issue or is something wrong with the drivers? This also happens with the preinstalled windows xp media center edition os, as well as with xp professional and windows vista.
I took it for repair but the guys just reinstalled the dvds and returned it to me as it was, I guess it was too difficult for them to hear the noise.
Anyway, I am VERY disappointed and now I just want to fix this problem...
Please help!

Hi Emil.d,
There are several message threads that seem to be related to your problem. Please see topics, "Audio glitch: maybe fan related??" and "Satellite A100-906 - sound issue with playing mp3" and "Audible click from speakers when fan starts and stops Equium A100-147" and "Crackling sound on Satellite A100-709".
These all appear to be related problems on machines running bios 2.0 Windows XP, and RealTec sound chip.
One temporary solution was recommended in thread, "Audio glitch: maybe fan related??", but I wouldn't recommend it based on my own experience. I will continue to pursue the problem on the "Audio glitch: maybe fan related??" message thread. Thought you might like to know that there are others having the same problem.
To check if you have the same problem, play a cd or mp3 while placing your hand close to the heat sink exhaust port at the left side of the computer. If you hear the click, (or pop, or garbage) when the cooling fan turns on or off then you have the same problem.
If you have that same problem then come to the "Audio glitch: maybe fan related??" message thread and join us in a hunt for this solution. In my case, I can't return the computer and I can't use my new synthesizer on gigs until this problem is solved - so I have no choice but to pursue this to a solution.

How do I relink audio and sound mxf clips brought into Premiere CC. (works fine in CS5.5)

How do I relink audio and sound mxf clips brought into Premiere CC. Didn't have this problem in CS5.5 so unsure why they unlink in CC.

I'm getting so many weird results. Most go away by simply closing the project and re-opening and I only have 6GB memory but even so, I'm disappointed by what I thought was supposed to be more "world class" video editing software than Sony Vegas Pro which I found to be a lot more stable. Also struggling with differences between Premiere and After Effects. Every time I want to do something in Pro I seem to need to go to After Effects and vice-versa. After Effects lets me do more of what I could "just do" in Vegas Pro timeline, but it's hideous for lining up audio and having to render anything in RAM to even get a clue as to what a change has done. Need to add Audition to the long list as well I suspect. Fun times!

Satellite A105-S4284 gets Blue Screen of Death when coming out of standby

MySatellite A105-S4284 runnings Windows XP gets a BSOD after coming out of standby or hibernation. With standby, I'll see the login screen where I enter my password, and then it may show the desktop background or even the open app (Outlook or Word, typically) for a second, afterwhich the BSOC appears. For weeks I was getting a black screen sporadically after standby. Researched the problem and saw recommendations to update BIOS. So I updated the BIOS to the latest version, and then I started getting blue screens of death rather than a black screen. Thought the problem was McAfee, because I'd get crashes right after McAfee became active in the background, sometimes without going into standby. Cancelled McAfee, took it off with the cleaner, used Avast instead, and that seemed to help. But then BSODs came back. I uninstalled non-essential software, clearned registry with CC Cleaner, freed up more HD space and defragged, ran SpyBot, etc - but I still get the BSOD almost every time I go into standby or hibernate.
The stop messages on the BSOD don't show a driver. and all begin with 0x0000007E (0x000000C5, ... and then differ after that. One recent one followed with 0x804E13D5, 0xAA6B9B8C, 0xAA6B9888). Does that mean anything?
I've installed Microsoft's debugging tools to look at the dumps after a BSOD. Here is output for two recent crashes. Doesn't point to a driver. NTKRMLMP.exe is what crashes - do I need to replace that from the I386 folder somehow? I did have my Matsu**bleep**a DVD-CD drive suddenly quit a time or two until the computer was restarted. Should I reinstall the DVD driver? Or the graphics driver? Worried that I might break something by doing that.

In safe mode it is not possible to standby. That is disabled. Tried to make it possible with Toshiba's power control service, but it is not available.
In a new account, the BSOD still occurs. I created a new account, logged out of my account, and went to the new one. Tried standby. It came out of standby for a second and then had the blue screen of death.
In checking the event manager, I seen errors shortly before crashes sometimes that involve the CD.
So I went to Toshiba.com and downloaded the DVD RAM driver and ran it, reinstalling the driver, and then restarted. I also saw that there was C-Dilla driver in my drivers. I uninstalled the SafeCast program that I think is associated with C-Dilla, moved the C-Dilla driver out of the drivers to a distant folder, unchecked C-Dilla in MSCONFIG so it won't load (it was still there after removing SafeCast), and then reinstarted. So with a new DVD Ram driver and neutering, I hope, of C-Dilla, I tried things again and the system appeared to be crash free - better than it had been. But then a crash occurred - BSOD - and upon restart, the CD locked up, and crashed again.
After restarting, there was a new dialog that popped up after Windows launched indicating that there had been an error with SONIC DLA. Before the crash, there was an event n the event viewer:
My last error comes from the Plug and Play Manager:
The device 'MAT**bleep**A DVD-RAM UJ-841S' (IDE\CdRomMAT**bleep**A_DVD-RAM_UJ-841S________________1.60____\5&226f6cf2&0&0.0.0) disappeared from the system without first being prepared for removal.
Hmmm. So things are still vulnerable. Any ideas? Buy new CD drive? Or new computer?

Help with audio and sound tracks

I have a .mov file with audio. I added a sound file I downloaded and it plays fine with QT and I hear both tracks, the recorded audio and music in the background. But when I post to Youtube the added sound doesn't play. How can I combine both tracks into one? I've tried exporting but can't seem to get the added track to play.
Using QT Pro 7.6.4 and Leopard.

http://www.discoverynet.com/~ajsnead/alpcond/alpha_18/midi/rocky.mid
It's a MIDI file:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MusicalInstrument_DigitalInterface
In order to use it at YouTube you would required to convert it prior to adding it in your source file to a real "audio" format.
This is why it didn't play after the export and wasn't converted by YouTube.

Does Satellite A105-S4284 support Windows Vista?

Does A105-S4284 support windows vista? or the drivers are not ready yet? it's vista capable PC i know, but many times i tried installing vista RC1 and it hangs up in the middle of teh installation :( plz help me.
Thanks,

If its a vista capable notebook then I dont see any reasons why the notebook should not support Windows Vista.
Its a fact that at this time no Vista drivers are available on the Toshiba page. (I dont found any)
I assume we will be able to download the drivers in the next couple of weeks.
PS: I have installed the RC2 version on my unit and it works without any additional drivers. Only the WLan card does not work but I can live with them

Satellite A105: External USB HDD and IPod connection issues

Hello,
I got laptop toshiba satellite A105, last weekend I reinstalled windows on my laptop using recovery disks and now I got two problems.
First problem when I connect my external hard drive, my computer don't show any icon of this hard drive but when I check in disk management external hard drive is connected to my computer.
Second problem is my IPod, similar problem to the hard drive don't shows when is connected to my laptop but when I checked in device manager under usb controller is showing but with yellow circle and question mark.
Could you help me to solve my problem?
Kings regards
Wojtek

Hi
Did you try to refresh the USB port drivers??
You should try this;
- Disconnect all USB devices from the USB ports.
- Access the device manager and remove all USB Root Hub and all USB Host controllers.
- Reboot the notebook
After this procedure the Windows OS should recognize and should install the USB ports again. After new reboot you should connect the single USB devices and should check if they will run correctly!

Satellite Pro - Slow start up and sound is messed up

I have had my *Toshiba Satellite Pro* with *Windows XP* for a good few years now. She has always worked like a gem and has given me no problems until a few weeks ago.
A few weeks ago I was downloading a program and with it came the very unwanted and unliked "Antivir Solutions" virus. I did everything I could to get rid of this disaster (thanks to the help of support forums) and I think I managed to get rid of it, but ever since then my computer has not been the same.
I was having trouble downloading a PDF document a few days ago and it froze so I tried to restart which caused the computer to have a hissy fit, deleting my user account which meant I had to set all that up again from scratch. And, now, the computer takes a good 45 minutes from the time you press the "ON" button to when it is ready to start working. Not to mention, it takes a good 10 minutes each time you click an icon for the program to actually start..
I have tried defragmenting the system and have tried uninstalling unused programs to speed the computer up, but it hasn't worked.
I have also run several antivirus programs (such as Norton, AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials) to make sure I have no nasties messing me up, but they come up clean.
May I also add- The sound is messed up also. Whether I use the inbuilt speakers or external speakers the sound is disjointed and broken. As is any Video I play.
I just don't know what to do.
I cannot really afford a new computer, but I need my computer to be reliable. I use my computer for 12 out of the 24 hours in each day...
*What can I do?*

Hi nicoletrist,
I dont know what notebook you have exactly but I think the slow Windows start is caused due the viruses that you have or had.
Few years ago I had also a virus and it was causing a very slow start up, it did take up to 10 minutes until Windows was loaded and the only solution to get rid of this was using Toshiba recovery disk.
I would recommend the same to you. Use the Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings and backup your data because everything on HDD will be deleted.
Im sure after using recovery disk your notebook will run like a charm again! :)

Ipad audio and sound out of sync

For a few months my iPad's audio has been out of sync with videos as well as the sounds like the keyboard clicks. Sometimes it is more out of sync, sometimes less. I have tried turning the device off and on again, resetting preferences, and searching online with no solutions found. Anyone know how I can fix this?

I'm having similar problems transferring VHS video to Quicktime. Another problem I'm having is when I transfer a VHS video to iMovie and then export the video to H.264 format, I have similar sync problems, even though the iMovie seems perfectly in sync.
I'm going to try to transfer several alternative video formats (video from my cable DVR, Video from live TV, and video from a digital mini cassette to try and figure out whether the VHS format is the culprit. Will keep you posted.

Crackly Audio and Beeps.

Hi, I have a problem with a crackling sound coming from my MacBook Pro when playing audio. When any sound is playing, be it iTunes or Safari or just turning up and down the volume, there's a faint 'crackling' noise in the background, that lingers until the audio shuts off again when it's not used.
It sounds a little like an untuned AM radio, phasing in and out, and it distorts any music or sound that's quiet (and I have a lot of very quiet music, so this is a pretty big issue for me). As well as that, from time to time, I get a short beep as well as the usual 'pop' when I turn up or down the volume, in conjunction with the crackling.
I'm assuming this is a software problem, since when running Windows 7 in Bootcamp there is absolutely no crackle. I've also tried several pairs of earphones, as well as external speakers and the built in speakers, and the crackling remains so it's not an issue of earphones either.
The MacBook is 5 months old and I've had the issue for a week or two now (I can't remember if it was there before the 10.5.7 update or not)
Any help or info would be greatly appreciated!

Hi,
I've never actually installed AstoundSound, but glad to hear the issue isn't just me. I've also tried the smc reset and the sound persists in a new user account too, so I've ruled those two out as causes.
I've uninstalled pretty much any audio-related programs I had to see if any of them were the culprit, but nothing's worked yet.

SATELLITE A105-S4074 BIOS UPDATED AND NOW DONT BOOT!

Hi,
I just have updated my old A105-S4074, with the lastest bios update available ACPI Flash BIOS version 6.00 for Tecra A7 (Intel) (PTA70U) and now is not even showing the post screen to enter to the BIOS
I flashed it using the cdrom way, and everything worked fine and finish sucesfully, but just when it restarted i got black screen!
The fan start,cdrom, but no hd light... just that and no video.
I tryied removing battery and ac, presing the power button for 30 sec, etc, and is just not working.
Any idea?
Thanks you in advance!
Regards

It's bad news that you may have corrupted your BIOS, even though you used the boot CD update method.
Regardless, you can try all these steps first:
Computer will not turn on
If nothing above works, see these intructions, and try to work your way through them for your make of BIOS. The BIOS.ROM file they mention, should be on your BIOS update CD.

Good luck.

Audio and sound not matching when importing

Hello - I've been importing footage from a miniDV from my Panasonic - the footage contains about 10 dance numbers. I had no problems, until I noticed that one of the dance numbers was a little 'off' in Final Cut. I checked the footage again, viewing it on the camera, and it was fine, so I imported again, and the dancing and the music was off even more, yet the video and audio tracks were lined up.
So then I tried importing into iMovie, and that worked just fine! So I had to make a full quality DV from that, and then re-import into FCP. How is it that it's fine on the the camera, but then goes 'off sync' when being imported into FCP, even though all of the other imported dances were fine? Any ideas/suggestions would be most helpful, thank you.

When you say off do you mean out of sync?
There's really a thousand things it could be and nearly impossible to tell with just a post. What version of FCP? What computer? What OS? What kind of drives are you using? What are you settings? How are you viewing? What capture settings did you use?
See lots of stuff. With DV, if it's out of sync changes are you have some kind of hardware issue going on as it doesn't take much computer power to edit DV.
