Satellite A300-1NO - Realtek soundcard trouble on Windows 7

Hey guys!
I have an A300-1NO notebook and some trouble with realtek audio driver as I've installed Windows 7 (x86, 32bit).
When I had Vista, I had 3 options to set how I want to record sounds. There was a Microphone, Mic in at front panel and a "third option" that recorded voice directly from sound card (waveout maybe) and not by any microphones.
Now, I can't find the "third option" (record sound directly from soundcard) just the two microphone options. I can see the disabled and disconnected devices too, but it still doesn't show me the "third option" :(
The freshly installed Win7 recognized my sound card, and I had sounds on it but there was not any "realtek" icon in the control panel to edit preferences, as in Vista's control panel. I uninstalled it from the device manager, after that i setup 6.0.1.5559 version (I used it with vista x86, 32bit) but still the same problem..
I really don't know what should i do..

Hi
To be honest I really not understand what you expect from an OS that is not released or not on the market as yet...
You have to wait some weeks or months more until official drivers will be released for Windows 7. Its the same as on Vista and XP. After the release, the most drivers were released.
You can try some beta drivers for Windows 7 from the Toshiba US page.
But this is all what you can do at the moment.

Satellite A300-1NO - Wakes up from standby mode

Hi all!
I have got a Satellite A300-1NO with Win XP pro.
The problem is, that the laptop wakes up from standby mode automatically after about 5 minutes.
I tried to unplug all cables (LAN, usb, etc) but the power plug, but it's the same result.
So what can cause this? What should I try?
thanks.

You should disable the Wake up on LAN function in BIOS and Windows.
Check the BIOS for this option!
You can disable this feature in Windows if you right click on the network card > properties > advanced > wake on LAN
I hope it works for you.

Satellite A300-1NO - How can I record sound?

Hello. I've got a Satellite A300-1NO machine, but I don't know how to set my sound card, because I want to record any sound that my sound card plays. For example listening an internet radio and record a track from it.
I can only set my microphone to record it, and can't see any more opportunity. Waveout or anything else....How could i solve this problem? I've got the 6.0.1.5599 sound driver.

Hello
If you want to record the sound that plays the sound card you need an additional program. So its not possible to record sound only with the sound driver.
There are many programs that can do this. I have good experience with No23 Recorder. Use Google to find it. Its freeware and easy to use.
Furthermore there are some programs that streams internet radio and record it too. But I dont use such a program but Google can help you to find one.

Satellite A300-1J1 - Sound not working with Windows XP

I have a problem, Yesterday I've installed WindowXP on my Toshiba Satellite A300 1J1, but no sound!
I tried all Toshiba driver sound given on Toshiba web site but no result !
Some can help us?

Hello
Your notebook has a Realtek sound chip. So you must install a Hotfix from Microsoft before you can install the drivers.

Satellite A300-1PH - Very slow statrting of Windows

Toshiba Satellite A300- 1PH.
Due to some Viruses, I started the recovery on my laptop and installed the fresh windows Vista Home premium. But now I am facing a problem.
My windows load very slowly. When I start my Laptop, after the logo of Windows appear, it takes almost 4-5 minutes to load the Destop and the Secreen shows the message "Please Wait".
Before recovery it never took such a long time. It's been onliy 1 month I have bought it.
Can any body tell me please what is the actualy problem?

I am very happy you are satisfied now. Many times on this forum I wrote about right OS configuration.
Anyway, Tempro is nice application and useful for people with low level of notebook knowledge who need some help with updates and notebook monitoring. In my opinion this can just confuse notebook owners with different messages and upgrade notifications.
I recommend you to remove it from the system. Believe me with les such background running processes and applications your notebook will run better and more stabile.
For years I use Avira Antivir and it the best solution. It runs in the background, doesnt need many resources and make updates automatically. You can get it for free under http://www.free-av.com/
Latest version is 9.00.
If you have more questions please let me know.
Bye and good luck.

Satellite A300-1N9 - Where can I download Windows 7 drivers and tools?

Welcome
At the outset I want to thank you for any help or steer me to an idea about the drivers for this model, for a moment I will describe what exactly it.
I bought this laptop with Vista I got him a CD with the system and on this record were already drivers and add-ons to your laptop or other cool things such as Toshiba drivers for camera, Bluetooth, Synaptics, dvd software, and a program or driver I do not know exactly what it is, but such a cool thing that allows you to set the lights on the whole panel, including a laptop with the word "Satellite". Everything fits nicely, but only with Vista that I got on the board from Toshiba.
Now, I went on Windows 7 As for the fundamental drivers that have them from the manufacturer Toshiba eg driver webcam or mouse. But the more I depend on these great things that I had under Vista, even though that panel backlighting laptop.
Does anyone have any idea on this that all additives in the CD that I got, where it is Vista, you can somehow extract these extras, or is a site where you can download it all, or a list of these additives to Win match 7
Thanks in advance again for any help.
Yours
wolfmark

Hi
First of all you can download all drivers and tools from the Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
For the illumination buttons and illuminated Satellite you have to install Toshiba Value Added Package. It activates also all functions on the FN keys.
As far as I know the illumination can also be turned on/off in BIOS. Check this!!!
The webcam driver is also listed on the Toshiba page and touchpad driver to enable virtual scrolling.
I hope I could help you a little bit! :)
Bye

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

Malfunctioning key on Satellite A300

Good day,
Yesterday I bought the laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 and then I installed it, Windows 7 RC1 and now there is a problem. Key to that is to Slovak keyboard symbol "?" for English is "\" in combination with the Shift key does not work :-( If you press a key on the keyboard itself is displayed as the character but if I use the keyboard combination Shift key and the cursor is not removed.
Can someone advise me whether there is a problem with the laptop or is the problem of operating system and drivers?
Thanks

Hello,
Today I am Winodws Vista installed and do not help either. I rather I'm afraid that the problem is with the BIOS, because this is not one problem with this laptop that I have.
As I also wrote on this forum in any operating system run startup screen "Windows is starting" and as being booting system of loudspeakers is unbearable ringing, it takes about a minute, the system run properly. And this problem will certainly be concerned because the BIOS whistle occurred install Vista or Linux.
So I think that these two problems together.
Can you advise how I could update the bios?
Thank you

No sound on Satellite A300 - Realtek High Definition Audio

I haven't had any audio on my A300 using Realtek High Definition Audio for 4 days now. One minute it was playing a CD just fine using Windows Media Player.  When I closed it and tried to play another CD, the next minute, the sound was gone and gave me the error code - C00D11B1, The first time this happened to me a little over a week ago, I was able to do a system restore and that fixed the problem. However, the next time it happened, the system restore didnt' work. It kept giving me an error message saying that it could not be completed.
So, since then, I have tried everything I've read in the different forums:
1.  I've reinstalled the Realtek driver
2. I've checked checked the Device Manager>Realtek - it said that the device was working properly.
3. I've checked the volume control and volume scroll wheel.
4. Tried plugging in a headset, but heard no sound on that either.
5. System restore still doesn't work 4 days later.
When I try to test the speakers. I get the message "Failed to play test tone."
I'm out of ideas and I need to get this resolved. Any other ideas I can try?
Thanks.

Satellite A305-S6905
Is this the driver you reinstalled?
   Realtek Audio Driver for Windows Vista (32/64bit)
System restore still doesn't work 4 days later
Not unusual. Sometimes the restore files get corrupted. The only way to fix it is to turn System Restore off and then on again. Unfortunately, that removes all of the old restore points.
   Turn System Restore on or off

Satellite A300-20P - Games with Windows 7 not working in full screen

I have Satellite A300-20P and VGA ATI 3650
I made upgrade to Windows 7 Professional
All games working well but not in full screen. I installed the last driver for ATI for Windows 7. It was working in full screen in Vista before I make upgrade.
Same problem on my brother`s laptop after he make upgrade to Windows 7.

Hi
Normally you can change the screen resolution in every game and if they should run in full screen mode or not. Check this!!!
Can you also tell us what display driver you have installed? The drivers from the Toshiba page are for desktop cards and not for mobile cards. So please use only the Toshiba drivers.

How can I install windows XP on my Satellite A300-129

Hello,
Since a few days I have bought a Toshiba Satellite A300-129. I'm very satisfied with the laptop, though I don't like to work with Vista so i would prefer to reformate the laptop and install Windows XP Professional(32 or 64 bits, dunno yet).
However I don't know if i have to do anything special for it, because this is my first notebook I've got and I only once had a laptop with drivers on a CD. Now i'm switching operating system i think i need some driver disc's for my webcam and stuff like that.
I hope some1 can help me :)
Thanks alot
BTW I'm dutch, so sorry for my English.

> And i've got a legit license of XP Pro, though i dont understand what u mean with the sata driver things. Do u mean i need to ADD the drivers on the current Disc with windows XP?
The point is that your Windows XP CD does not contain the SATA drivers which are necessary to recognize the HDD during the XP setup procedure.
So you will have to include the SATA driver pressing the F6 button while the XP setup is loading. For this procedure an external FDD drive is necessary.
If you dont have a external USB FDD drive then you could create an Win XP CD and could include the SATA drivers using the free software called nLite.
One note; Use the forums search function for searching on other threads about the nLite and how to create such CD. I remember there are many threads in the forum about this theme.
Cheers

Satellite-A300-23E - Can I install Windows 7 Ultimate instead of Win7 Premium

Hello,
I bought a TOSHIBA laptop which has the following model: Satellite-A300-23E (Operational system is Windows Vista Home Premium)
I know that TOSHIBA offers an upgrade to Windows 7 but the problem is that they will provide me with Windows 7 Home Premium which I don't want.
Thus, I'm thinking to buy a full version of Windows 7 Ultimate (DVD).
Will be there any technical/software problems in case I remove the original operational system of the laptop and install Windows 7 Ultimate ?
By the way, I used Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor and the result was positive !
Please, I need your help

You should try Vista's drivers, as I know, they are compatible:
For Webcam try this one:
http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/webcam-en-20090422172230.zip
For touchpad, there are 2 drivers:
Alps http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/tpdrv-en-20090320124756.zip
Synaptics http://support1.toshiba-tro.de/tedd-files2/0/tpdrv-en-20090320132707.zip
talking about touchpad drivers, it can be Alps or Synaptics for your model, or can be both.

Re: Satellite A300 - Windows Vista hang on - what can I do?

I have a laptop Toshiba Satellite A300 with OS Windows Vista Home Edition.
After some weeks of working with my laptop, it hang on.
I have reinstalled the OS but and it work well during 1 or two months then the laptop hang on again.
I bought this laptop October 2008 and I have reinstalled Vista 3 o 4 times.
What can I do?

You mean the Vista does not response after couple of time?
Well buddy, this can be an software issue.
I mean there are no magic solutions for such issues I assume you have installed and used many different applications on this notebook.
It could be possible that one of the applications causes this issue
It could be also possible that the registry entries and some system files have been changed during the Microsoft updates
In my opinion you should use some cleaning tools like for example the CCLeaner.
Its free tool and it cleans your registry and other files
You should also check the applications which are running while the system would start to hang up
Last but not least I recommend checking the memory you could run an memory test (www.memtest.org, www.memtest86.com) in order to find out some memory issues.
Good luck
