Satellite A300-1LT - I must manual activate HDMI sound

Hi to all,
This program (HDMI manager) don't work for me, I must manual activate HDMI sound and when I want to connect or disconnect display they don't recognize when I plug cable.
So everything must manual(media centar connect display...)
Install and uninstall progam don't help...
Thanx

> I always connect cable when my pc and tv ON
Then connect the device with the HDMI cable when both devices are OFF
On your notebook you can find the application called Toshiba HDMI Control.
There you can enable the option called Enable HDMI controll and can enable the further settings like:
+Allow this PC to be power on and off by a TV which supports HDMI control+
and
+Allow the PC to be powered off by a TV which supports HDMI Control when the TV is powered off.+
The option called HDMI Control can be used ONLY if your LCD (external TV) supports the HDMI Control feature. If the LCD does not support such feature then this option is not useful!
Greetings

Satellite A300-1LT - Webcam driver for Windows 7

Hi,
I have a problem with my webcam driver just after installing Windows 7 on my Satellite A300-1LT, I had win XP before and it works fine. In downloads is offered just for xp, vista 32-bit and 64-bit driver (I tried all with same results). Webcam app starts with windows and gives me an error msg that I must reinstall or install new webcam driver. Webcam work in eg. skype buth with (very) poor quality.
I tried to find wich cam is integrated ( chicony? ) also but nothing.
Does enyone else had experienced this issue and know how to resolve it ? please help...

Hi glava11,
As far as I know you can also use the webcam driver for Satellite A500 because its equipped with Chicony webcam too.
So have a look for A500 downloads. There you can find Windows 7 driver for webcam that should work on your model too.

Satellite A300-1LT won't boot up - blank screen & no HDD activity

I had a problem, touch pad won't work.
I found on internet solution to shut down computer, take out battery, wait a little bit, and start again.
That is when my problems start.
When I placed battery back on, i turned on the laptop.
Blank screen (nothing happens), led indicators are on (except for hdd), cd drive tries to read but nothing happens, and the fan is on.
I tried everything that I could find (wait for 30 min, take battery out, start without battery, etc...) but no luck.
My lap top is Satellite A300-1lt, and I had it for 2 months.
I don't want to take it to service, unless it is really necessary, because i really need it now, I can't wait for weeks until it is returned.
Can please somebody help me out, Im desperate....
Thanks in advantage...

Connect your notebook (with battery) to the AC power supply and leave it an hour and try to start your notebook again. If notebook starts again leave it running until the battery will be full charged again.
I hope it will work properly again. I have had similar problem with my Satellite A300-1LI and I have do this. Now notebook runs perfectly with and without AC adapter.

Satellite A300 and Win7 - Strange problem with speakers\sound card

Hello everyone,
I am working on a - A300-1MO with win 7 ultimate 32 bit
In the last few days (since I have installed the Bluetooth driver but I dont think it matters), the sound card, and therefore the laptop speakers, switch from being mute to being active, sometimes in high volume.
It disturbs me a lot because my computer is making sounds while I am in classes (from apps running\web sites etc.). I almost got kicked out of class several times because of it.
I tried muting the sound card from the windows mixer and from the sound card application, it's no use.
I will appreciate any help.
Thanks a bunch
Roi.

Hi roibs,
> It disturbs me a lot because my computer is making sounds while I am in classes (from apps running\web sites etc.). I almost got kicked out of class several times because of it.
Maybe you should leave your computer at home and not play with it in your class ;)
Anyway, I would recommend disabling all Windows sounds in control panel. That means no sounds will be played while you navigate through the Internet or use the Explorer.

Satellite A300-1NO - built in microphone has dim sound

Hello everybody.
I've noticed that my built in microphone has very low volume. When I'm voice chatting, people hardly hear what i am speaking. I've got Realtek HD Audio Manager, downloaded the sound driver from the Toshiba website. Everything set to 100%, microphone boost is only 20 dB because 30dB is too noisy. I checked webcam assistant too. I don't know what should I do.
When I use external microphone, it sounds like OK. But the built in mic is quiet and flat, dim.

i downloaded the driver from there, "sound-20080728120308.zip" now i have 6.0.1.5599 version of sound driver. now it's louder, but i don't know if it is now good quality or not. i've uploaded a recorded voice
everything set to 100% percent, boost is 30 dB. noise reduction is ON, acoustic echo cancellation ON, default format 16bit, 48000Hz (DVD quality)
my external microphone is still better than built in. at least built in mic is now louder than it was

Hello
Im wondering that you want to upgrade to 8GB RAM... Normally 3 or 4GB should be more as enough for all applicaions at the moment.
Anyway, as Jayjay said its not possible to upgrade to 8GB. A friend of me has a Satellite A300 and the user manual says that it can upgrade to 4GB or 2GB (depending on the chipset). So if you have a PM965/GM965/RS690M chipset you can upgrade it to 4GB. Otherwise you can only use up to 2GB.
I have upgraded my Toshiba notebook with Kingston RAM. This is high quality RAM and has a good compatibility. I never had problems with such modules.

Satellite A300-1OM - No sound on TV using HDMI

I have a Toshiba Satellite A300-1OM, and also a Toshiba HD TV with HDMI input ports.
I recently bought a HDMI to HDMI cable and attached the notebook to the tv and turned the tv to the HDMI channel, and the notebook confirmed this by making the 'new device attached' noise.
However, when I try to use Fn+F5 and output to the tv, nothing happens. When I choose to use the tv as an external monitor the tv shows the external screen, though only covers the centre of the tv, just slightly larger than my notebook screen, instead of being the full screen as i'd hoped. The sound also remained on the notebook instead of through my tv speakers.
I then tried the 'HDMI Output' software that came with the notebook, and only got the 'This is only effective when the PC is connected to a TV which supports HDMI Control through the HDMI cable' message.
Finally I tried the graphics options by right clicking on the desktop and choosing to output to monitor, then using graphics properties I managed to increase the resolution on the TV until it almost fit the entire screen, but not fully, and again the sound only came out of the notebook.
I am hoping to be able to watch HD video files from my laptop, but it seems that video output on my TV is still only notebook quality instead of HD as I had hoped.. I tried watching "Lost.S05E11.720p.HDTV.x264-CTU.mkv" once i'd finally output my notebook to the HD TV to an almost full screen size, but didn't recognise the difference between video on TV and on Notebook.
Can anybody help? I've read several other similar posts, i've checked BIOS and HDMI is enabled in the display section, but still can't resolve my problem.
Thanks!

Hi
>I am hoping to be able to watch HD video files from my laptop, but it seems that video output on my TV is still only notebook quality instead of HD
> didn't recognize the difference between video on TV and on Notebook.
Do you know what HD quality means?
The HD TV supports an max resolution of 1280 720 px and full HD means that the TV would be able to show the HD movies using the 1920 1080 resolution.
A simple old TV supports a resolution of 768 x 576.
Every notebook screen is able to show the HD videos in HD quality because the display supports the same or higher resolution!!!
Therefore you will not notice any difference on notebook or HD TV playing HD quality videos!
Furthermore the sound is not coming through the TV speakers because you didnt choose the HDMI port as a default sound output (device).
Check this step by step instruction:
Click Start
Settings
Control Panel

Satellite A300 - Can only use stereo on receiver via HDMI

I was wondering if someone could help me with my audio issues. I have a Satellite A300 PSAGCC-06h019 running Vista home premium 64bit SO1, and I am having trouble hooking up with my receiver. I have attached my computer to the receiver via the HDMI port, and only 2 channels (stereo) are available to be selected.
I have the latest Realtek drivers, the latest ATI radeon drivers, but I cannot select surround sound speakers in the audio setup, only stereo. Is there some sort of registry patch or update or something which will allow me to select more than 2 channels output through my HDMI? I have a very nice surround sound setup and I would like to maximize my entertainment value.
Also, when I go into the HDMI audio settings, there is a radio box to check dolby digital and dts, when I test the dts and dolby digital, it goes into surround sound and plays the test tones, but I can't set the speakers to 5.1 or 7.1 for watching movies.
thank you in advance, if anyone can help me with this.

yes, I am referring to configuring the HDMI output on the Playback Devices Tab, I select the HDMI output, and click the Configure button on the bottom left, but the only option available is 2-channel.
I play Dolby Digital and DTS movies through my receiver all the time, through a separate HDMI port. I can simulate surround sound through stereo with my receiver but multi-channel mp4 files are always mixed down to 2-channel. I know the computer is capable of outputting DTS and Dolby Digital because on the Supported Formats tab of the Properties screen, I can test the DTS and Dolby Digital and those work perfectly.

How to connect my Satellite A300-1J1 to HD TV

Hello
I have a Toshiba laptop model Satellite A300-1J1 (which does not have a HDMi socket) & have just purchased Toshiba XV551D 40" HD tv. Want to be able to connect laptop to tv with the best picture quality possible, would a DVI to HDMI cable be better than the standard 15pin monitor to external monitor/tv cable?
My laptop has a IEEE1394 socket, i'm presuming this is the same as a DVI socket??? (I could be wrong tho!) Also on reading the tv manual, it says unless I am connecting HDMI to HDMI, I would need a separate audio cable?
Please advise asap, I'm looking to buy all necessary leads online rather than go shopping so want to make sure I get correct leads from the off.
And apologies if i sound thick lol.
Thanks

HDMI or DVI will be the best quality.
15pin VGA is analog and has a limited resolution.
If your TV has speakers, you can simply use HDMI to output the sound to the TV (HDMI includes audio signals).
If you use DVI, you will need an Audio Cable from the headphone jack on the laptop, to your Speakers/Hifi.
IEEE1394 or FireWire is not a video connector. It is similar to a USB port, primarily used to transfer video/audio from a camcorder to your PC.

Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) - Hardware problems after installing win7 ultimate

Hello and good day,
I've installed win7 ultimate a few days ago and windows managed to recognize most of my hardware accept my build in mic and camera and another component I am not sure about what it is (Windows update automatically downloaded the sound and graphics driver for me).
My questions are - where can find the remaining drivers and where can I get the preinstalled Toshiba tools and software? (The driver site in the Toshiba support page does not include those drivers and software)
Thank you very much
Roi Ben Simon

Hi
I have Satellite A300 (PSAG8E) too and installed Win7 Home premium and everything works perfect.
At first I must say that I don't know where you have searched drivers and Toshiba tools and utilities because all stuff is downloadable on Toshiba support & download page under http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com
It is logic that mic will not work if you didn't installed proper driver. Install drivers alone and not using Microsoft update. What you need are real and tested drivers and not some free drivers from internet.
Go to Toshiba download page and install all stuff following this installations order:
-Win7
-chipset driver
-storage manager
-display driver
-sound driver
-modem driver
-supervisor utility
-infrared
-patches
-configfree
-VAP
-toshiba hardware setup
-HDMI control
-WLAN driver
Everything works well but missing some drivers
Added Vista stuff:
-Toshiba assist - work properly
-Card reader - installed properly
-Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - work properly.
-Synaptics driver

Satellite A300-1IK - Can't update Vista

Hello
I recently reset my Satellite A300 to its defaults using the HDDRecovery utility. The OS now is Vista Home Premium SP1, but I am not able to update vista drivers or get the upgrade to SP2, so I am struck with my default SP1.
I tried to install upgrades with auto updater, or by manually checking for updates under "Windows Update " options. I got no results with the first method (planned updates dont start at all), while with the second method when i click the "look for updates" button it tells me "unable to check for new updates; ERROR CODE 80072EFE".
So I tried to download official microsoft executable update packages from their download area, but they all fail at installing.
What am I supposed to do?
Thanks in advance, Alessandro

Hi caiusteblack,
> So I tried to download official microsoft executable update packages from their download area, but they all fail at installing.
What update pack you have downloaded?
Generally speaking if SP1 is already installed you can start with SP2 installation for Vista but SP1 must be installed firstly. SP2 can be downloaded on official Microsoft website (not Windows Update). Download SP2 and start the installation and check what happens.

looking froward for ur help ..
thanks ..

I have very good experiences with Satellite A300 and Win7 installation. No problems at all.
As I can see on Toshiba download page your notebook model is fully supported for Win7 and all you must do is to install all Toshiba stuff in right installations order.
My installations order is:
-Win7 Home Premium (clean installation)
-chipset driver
-storage manager
-display driver
-sound driver
-modem driver
-supervisor utility
-infrared
-patches
-configfree
-VAP
-toshiba hardware setup
-HDMI control
-WLAN driver
Everything works well but missing some drivers
Added Vista stuff:
-Toshiba assist - work properly
-Card reader - installed properly
-Webcam driver for A500 - tested with Skype - work properly.
-Synaptics driver
I really don't know what you are doing wrong. Maybe some background processes block regular start-up.
I recommend you to try again and make it easy step-by-step following my list and let me know on which stage you will be faced with described issue.

Satellite A300 - Turns on but doesn't boot

Hello,
I have a Satellite A300. I have had several probems while booting since 2 months ago: When I want to turn on my laptop, it turns on but the screen keeps black and it doesn't load the "Toshiba Leading Innovation" screen. The "Satellite" light (at the left of the mousepad) is on (it would only switch on a second while booting and then would switch off) and it doesn't turn off.
I have to retry for so many times with all the possibilities: Without battery, only with AC adapter, with both of them but it doesn't boot. I don't know what can I do. I have always to hibernate my laptop bacause I am afraid to can not boot it the day after.
Could you help me? If it cares: I had to buy a new battery (not Toshiba original) because I had to change the original one. No more changes in my laptop.
Thank you very much and sorry for my english writing :S
Diego

Thank you for your reply PinkPanther,
I think it isn't fault of the battery, because my laptop doesn't load the Bios neither the "Toshiba Leading Innovation" screen not even tryng to switch on only with the original Toshiba AC adapter.
About the external monitor: it's true many times I connect my TV by the HDMI port. But i think it isn't the problem. As I said first, there's a light (is writen "Satellite") at the left of the mousepad that lights when the laptop turns on and when comes this "Toshiba Leading Innovation" screen, suddenly it switchs off. So when I have this problem with my laptop, this light keeps on. I think that if it was problem off the monitor, this light should turn off and load the OS, and then I must hear the sound at the begining of the OS...
As you say, maybe it's a serious probelm... I posted here because I hoped that anyone had the same problem, resolved it and could help me

BIOS Update for Satellite A300/600

Hi all,
I have a Satellite A300/600 (PSAG4A-02600M), which I have just installed W7 x64 on (I did a clean install). I am upgrading the drivers as per the Toshiba website. I noticed there is a BIOS upgrade to version 1.8 - I am currently running version 1.5.
I have downloaded the update but when I try to run it I get the following message: "C:\Users\HELIF~1\AppData\Local\Temp\isc6632tmp\\i nsydeflash.exe could not be executed."
The PC is running fine at the moment, no major glitches - do I need V1.8? If so, how do I remedy this situation?
Other glitches so far in the upgrade process for me have been:
Every time I pressed the mute button W7 UAC popped up to ask me if I wanted to allow the Toshiba program to adjust a system setting. Fixed this issue by moving the ButtonSetting.ini file and making a registry change.
Loaded Windows Live Photo Gallery. When I inserted my XD card from my camera, W7 recognised it just fine, but WLPG could not see it. Therefore I am unable to import my photos off the card. Well, I can do it through W7 but WLPG gives you the options of fine tuning the import process which is what I'm after. Tried uninstalling/reinstalling WLPG after I'd installed all the drivers from Toshiba but it still won't recognise it. Still an issue.
Lastly, in relation to WLPG, I can't seem to download Image Composite Editor, whenever I try the link to the download (ftp or html), Firefox just displays a blank page with "waiting for research.microsoft.com". Trying to find an alternative site to download it off but no luck thus far.
That's it so far, any help would be appreciated.
Message was edited by: helifella - added one more issue...

Thanks for the advice. Won't be touching the BIOS any more.
Think I found a solution to the WLPG problem = Picasa! No, but seriously, I will try the Windows or Windows Live forums when I get the opportunity. I must say I did like the face recognition in Picasa, makes tagging people pretty easy. If only tags were more standardised like audio tags (okay, I know there are a few formats but they're pretty good) so when I imported the photos I had already tagged in WLPG they were recognised by Picasa - grr.
Anyway, thanks again, case closed.
