Satellite A200 - Headphones and microphone not working (Win XP)

I have fully operational Windows XP with everything working just fine. However, today I tried to connect a microphone to the notebook, the software noticed it, muted the internal speakers, but there is no sound in the headphones whatever I do. I tried if the microphone jack is all right only to find out that I have the same problem - the realtek software notices me, that I plugged in a microphone, but doesnt record any sound.
I would be more than grateful for any help.

Are you sure that you have checked all necessary sound settings?
Im not Satellite A200 owner but Ive got a similar Satellite A series and I have installed both OS (Vista & XP) on my HDD.
From my knowledge you have to check different microphone settings in the sound & audio options.
In Control Panel you will find the Sound & audio devices. Choose it!
Then choose the tab called Audio.
There you could find the area Sound recording which provides information about possible devices for sound recording.
First of all you should check if the Volume settings are set to a higher level.
Secondly check if a right device was chosen (in my case its a Realtek HD audio input).
In the other tab Voice (near audio tab) you can test the voice recording too. This could be very helpful to check if the mic functions correctly
Please do this!
Bye

Internal Webcam and Microphone not working after Screen Fix

I own a HP Envy Spectre XT Ultrabook, and last week I tried to use the webcam and the microphone for the first time in a few months.
However I was shocked to find that Skype kept saying that the webcam was not detected. The microphone also could not register any sound.
Device Manager did not show any imaging devices or the webcamera, even after setting it to view non-present devices.
A check using msinfo32 did not review the webcamera either, and there were no problem devices.
Control Panel >> Sound showed that the Internal Microphone using IDT High Definition Audio Codec was enabled and working, however it could not detect any sound. All drivers are checked to be up-to-date.
I suspect this has something to do with the screen repair last month which a HP on-site technician came down to replace my screen, although I cannot be 100% sure. Although the screen is now working, the technician did not do a good job reassembling the screen - the bottom left corner of the screen cover has not be able to attach properly to the screen.
I have gone through my BIOS setup to make sure that there is no webcam disabled.
I have tried rolling-back and reinstalling the drivers for the microphone but it did not work.
I have tried uninstalling CyberLink YouCam (laptop preinstalled webcam software).
Please help, these two components are very important to me as I am going overseas soon. The laptop is still under warranty.

Hey ajun,
Thank you very much for the information!
For troubleshooting your Webcam, I would suggest taking a look at the document Webcam Troubleshooting (Windows 7). I would suggest the two options Video does not appear in your webcam software (such as YouCam, Skype, Messenger, ect.), and Webcam is not listed in Device Manager.
For your internal microphone not working either, please take a look at the document Resolving Microphone and Line-in Problems (Windows 7). From this document, I would suggest following the top two symptoms.
Please let me know the outcome of these troubleshooting steps.
Good luck, and have a great day!

Satellite A200 - FN keys are not working

I have Satellite A200-1N2.

So, i download all utility and driver from Toshiba site and install them i install and cofigure the toshiba Assist but i can't use volume key with Fn key and other too.
Please advice me
Thanks before

Hello Mona
It is not easy to say what is wrong there but to have well working OS with all Toshiba tools and utilities it is important to install all stuff following the right installations order. Please visit Toshiba support page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads and choose your notebook model PSAE3E and check Installations Instructions document.
Just install all listed stuff (available on download page) following exact installations order.
After doing this everything should work well.
Just one question: what do you mean with volume key with Fn? Do you mean MUTE option with FN+ESC?

Speakers and microphone NOT working, all devices said to be working

Hello, looking for help. My speakers and microphone suddenly stopped working and I do not know why. Whenever I got to my volume control or drivers it says they are working fine and they are on the original settings. When I go to skype it says that it cannot access my sound card for both speakers and microphone. I have gone to the control panel and whenever I try to test the mic or speakers it gives me an error report that no test can be performed or that it failed. Please someone help!!?

Hi,
Try the following.
Download the IDT Audio installer on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
http://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp59501-60000/sp59620.exe
When done, open windows Control Panel, open Device Manager and open up Sound, Video and Game Controllers. Right click the IDT device and select Uninstall - you should also get a prompt to remove the current driver, tick the box to allow this and then proceed with the uninstall.
When complete, shut down the notebook, unplug the AC Adapter and then remove the battery. Hold down the Power button for 30 seconds. Re-insert the battery and plug in the AC Adapter.
Tap away at the esc key as you start the notebook to launch the Start-up Menu and then select f10 to enter the bios menu. Press f5 to load the defaults ( this is sometimes f9, but the menu at the bottom will show the correct key ), use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter. Press f10 to save the setting and again use the arrow keys to select 'Yes' and hit enter.
Let Windows fully load - it will automatically load an audio driver, but just let this complete. Then open your Downloads folder, right click on the IDT installer and select 'Run as Administrator' to start the installation. When this has completed, right click the speaker icon in the desktop Taskbar and select Playback Devices. Left click 'Speakers and Headphones' once to highlight it and then click the Set Default button - check if the microphone and audio are now working.

Satellite A200-19L - TV-OUT not working

I have Satellite A200-19L (PSAEC) with nVidia *GeForce Go 7300.
The laptop came with Windows Vista Home. I downgraded the system to Windows XP
Professional with SP2.
Everything its ok except the fact that now I cannot connect the computer with my TV (I used to connect with _RGB-RGB_ cable, my TV has RGB slot, TV is a Samsung LCD). With Vista it was very easy to connect but now I cannot. And now I have this problem. I cannot to do this connection.
I installed the forceware 156.55 and my driver version is 6.14.11.5655.
If anyone knows how I can do this connection please reply.
It will be _helpful._

Hi
Im not 100% sure if my advice will help you to solve this issue but generally you should update the BIOS to the XP version if you want to use the XP on this Vista unit.
Furthermore you should install all Toshiba drivers in the right order
Then you should be able to use the FN+F5 button combination which helps to switch to the external display device like second monitor or TV.

Satellite C660 keyboard and mouse not working

I have a Satellite C660 that is about to exit the window.
The list of problems are as follows:
Keyboard doesn't work
Mouse pad and button's don't work
USB mouse and keyboard don't work (but light up with power)
It also likes to turn itself off randomly when the battery in but this is the least of the problems.
any ideas as to why this is doing this and what can be done to fix it will be much appreciated.
thanks.

Hi
Im wondering about your statement about external USB mouse and keyboard.
I thought that your problem was related to faulty touchpad module and internal keyboard but now Im thinking that this cannot be the case since the external USB keyboard does not work as well as the external USB mouse.
Probably its more serious hardware malfunction: maybe something related to the motherboard??? Who knows an hardware diagnostic test needs to be done to confirm this
Just one question: are you able to access the BIOS? I mean does the F2 keyboard button work in order to access the BIOS?

Vista x64 and Microphone not work

Hi folks,I've installed and am running Vista x64 and the sound is working fine but the mic is misbehaving. In the 'Speakers Properties', 'Levels' tab, I have the microphone set to 85 and unmuted. This way the microphone works but I get bad feedback and I have to listen to myself droning on through the speakers. I've tried muting & unmuting this but nobody can hear me speaking in Teamspeak. Am I condemned to having to blast my neighbours with feedback or is there a way I can talk through the mic and have my voice come through on Teamspeak instead of coming through my speakers Many thanksPete P.S. System is a 4gig, dual core, Audigy 4Drivers are the latest Vista ones from the creative site.Oh and it all worked fine on XP by the way

Go to recording properties, select levels and increase mic to 85. Also add 20db boost.go to speaker properties, select levels tab and mute the microphone.....Fixed..

Satellite A200-PSAE6E - FN key not working on Vista 32bit

Hi all
I can't get the FN key to work, no matter how many times I reinstall Toshiba software, it just doesn't seem to work!
Anyone got a workaround?
I'm using Bios 2.40, and Vista 32bit

Hi
If you installed your OS manually the right installation order is necessary to get all Toshiba tools and notebook features working.
Please follow the installation instruction which can be found in the installation instruction txt file.
On the Toshiba European driver page you will find also the *Flash Card Support Utility 1.49.0.2C*. It is needed to use the Toshiba Flash Cards (FN + F* Keys).
Additionally the VAP must be installed too

Satellite P750-BT4G22 Internal Microphone Not Working

Hi,
For some weird reason the internal microphone on my Satellite P750-BT4G22 suddenly stopped working but the speakers work perfectly. Please advice.
Thanks

Because the problem didn't go away with a system reset, it would require servicing. You'd set up a repair order with customer support and ship your laptop to a repair facility.

Sound, headphones, and vibrator not working on 4s after ios 7.0.6 update

So after i updated my phone last night it started doing this thing where the ear piece speaker, the loud speaker, the vibrator, and headphone jack all stop functioning. As soon as i put the phone in silent after awhile or restarting it in silent it will start working again. I don't know what's causing this, but its annoying. Anyone else having a similar issue?

I also have an iPhone 4S everything was fine then I realized my speaker wasn't giving no sound restarted switch to
Mute then back again then it was all good. Thought it was only me

Satellite A200-1AX function key not working

Hey all
i installed XP a few weeks back and updated the bios to the xp version
I didn't like it and i went back to vista but now my function doesn't work.
I press it and press the screen brightness key but the controls don't show up anymore and i have to manually use it with my mouse or through the mobility center
is it because of the bios? I downloaded the new vista bios and now it says that rom space is full and quits
What do i do? Help much appreciated

Hi
The problem is that you need to update the BIOS to the XP version if you want to use all the notebook features on this notebook.
After the installation of XP you have to update the BISO XP and then you have to install all the available Toshiba XP drivers and utilities.
This should helps.
