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.

  • Strange Problem with Speakers/sound

    Hi,
    I have a Powerbook Ti DVI 1 Ghz and have been experiencing a strange and inconsistent problem. Sometimes, the sound "blows out" as though it is too loud and works in the two highest system volume notches. Whenever I press the volume button onto lower settings the speakers give me a muffled sound when I press it and do not give out sound.
    I've tried the system prefs and everything is as it should be. This problem is sometimes caused by putting in my headphones. Sometimes restarting the computer fixes the problem, but it is all very strange to foresee.
    Has anyone experienced anything of this sort? Any advice appreciated.
    Thanks,
    M

    Did you download and install the latest Realtek Audio drivers from the Realtek site?
    http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.​aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownT​...
    Accept the agreement. Download and install the first or second driver on the list depending on whether you installed W7 32 or 64 bit.
    If that doesn't work, I don't have any other suggestions for you to try.

  • Problem with the sound card

    Hello everyone,
    So here for 2-3 days, the sound of my Macbook starts beuguer (buy in October 2014). So when starting the mac when I listen to music all goes well, I can adjust the sound using the keys on my keyboard, and when I ca defois support appears to me that the sound is cut off, I think it 'is a problem with the sound card. But as soon as I plug in headphones, not set I have to go through the system preferences. By unplugging the problem remains the same on his fate, but impossible to resolve through the keyboard. I tried to put the volume icon on the top bar but even by setting it does not work here. The problem resolves itself after 30 minutes-1 hour. It's very annoying. Thank you in advance for your answers.

    Hi, Dolve
    This could be either hardware or software, so let's start with trying to get all drivers and software up to date. This page has updates for all your system. I would recommend getting at least your latest audio driver and BIOS downloaded. Following the installation, try using your sound again and see if the issue still persists.
    Best,
    Adam

  • Strange problems with nvidia video card

    Hi, I don't know if it's really a problem, but I suppose...
    I had in the last days serious problems with the nvidia card and ubuntu (see ubuntuforums or askubuntu).
    Resuming I couldn't boot ubuntu if the nvidia card was enabled...
    Now I only use windows because of this problem but I have another doubt: why the power manager sometimes don't show me the GPU usage (see image)?
    In any case the nvidia (I think) is always working (the external monitor plugged in  the DisplayPort works... I think that's a confirmation)
    Another question: at times when I watch video on youtube the nvidia is enabled at others not... is this a problem of optimus or not?
    For me it's important that windows works (no problem if ubuntu doesn't works.. I posted the links of the problems with ubuntu just  for information on what's happened before this problem with windows..

    I'm using Firefox with html 5...
    But I also tried also with chrome, in which the html 5 mode in youtube is not activate, and I have the same problem...
    I find it strange because if i have the monitor plugged in the nvidia GPU is activated (of course) and if i'm whatching a video on youtube when i disconnect the monitor the GPU won't switch to the intel but it still remains the nvidia activated until i close this video..

  • Satellite A300 and WIn7 - cannot use media buttons

    I have Satellite A300 laptop.
    Recently I reinstalled my Windows 7 Pro x64 using update option (not clean install). So I kept my program and settings. However the media player panel (or whatever it is called) that lets me play, stop music, change songs etc. is not fully working. I can't use 2 "buttons": one that lets me turn on/off highlighting and the other one that turns media player on.
    I need them working. I tired Toshiba button support, but I don't know what to do there.

    Hello
    What you must install is Toshiba Value Added Package. I use Win7 on my A300 and all buttons work perfectly. But I use 32bit version.
    I dont know if your A300 is supported for Win7 64 bit but you can try to use THIS version.
    Before you start installation remove old version, if exist, restart notebook and install this version.
    I hope this will help you.

  • 10.4.10 update and very strange problem with Mac Mini

    Dear All,
    I have just updated my Mac Mini Intel and I am having a strange problem.
    My Mac Mini has problems booting up. Sometimes I get through the login screen as normal but my wallpaper shows and there are no desktop icons, no dock, no top of screen finder menu bar. Some other times I get stuck in the progress bar of the booting up.
    I tried to run utilities from install disk and there were no problems detected.
    The VERY STRANGE thing is that several times now as I put my fingertip onto the power button laying it on the button but not pressing it yet (because I would like to shut down the system), the system kicks in and becomes unfrozen!!!
    Someone in the 123macmini.com forum says that this problem is related to the airport receiver which is near the power button.
    What do you think about it???
    MacBook and MacMini   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    ok, I have found a kind of fix for the problem, although may run a hardware test to check something!.
    I unplugged all USB and Firewire devices, I turned off Bluetooth and Airport, reinstalled the 10.4.10 combo update, when it restarted the starting mac osx screen took barely a second or 2 to load (my comment above is becuase from when I first got it on Sunday I noticed it was slow to boot up, also noticed that the screen resoulution I have set does not kick in until I log on, although this may be becuase this mac mini is an intel one). The computer booted up very quickly and I tuend on bluetooth and airport with no issues and plugged all the usb and fireware devices back in. I again turned the airport off and restarted and again it booted up very quickly logged on and swithced the airport back on. I decided to reboot with the sirport on and it got stuck at the end of the os x starting up screen, I waited a few mins switched it off and on again and it booted up fine although slower. I dont mind turning the airport off when I power down as the mac usually stays on anyway. I assume Apple will release a fix for this as a lot of people seem to have the problem so think I will stay put with this for the time being. It was taking a several goes to get to the login screen before but usually got there every few boots.

  • Satellite U500-1DZ DPC latency problem with the graphic card geforce 310M

    Please give me an answer.
    My computer is a Toshiba satellite U500-1DZ, intel i5
    Thank you

    Hi, thank you for your answers.
    I have updated the last nvdia driver, the new bios and everything I found on this website, but It doesn't change anything...
    Apparently I'm not the only one to have this problem, but I don't know if it comes from Toshiba or from Nvdia.
    Do you know if it's normal to have four times "NVDIA High definition Audio" in the audio/video/games controllers ?
    When I seactivated it it's a litlle bit less worth (but still not good)...
    I'm using a preinstalled windows 7 64 bit version
    Thank you !

  • A strange problem with my wireless card

    my box is lenovo ideapad y550, the wireless card is intel 5100. After i update to kernel 2.6.32, there is a strange problem occored.
    i configure my wireless at /etc/rc.conf like this:
    MODULES=(...... iwlagn ......)
    wlan_wlan0="wlan0 essid xxxx key s:xxxxxxxxxxxxx
    wlan0="dhcp"
    INTERFACES=(wlan0)
    DAEMONS=(......network......)
    it works well at 2.6.31
    but at 2.6.32, i find during the archlinux start, it tell me that "dhcpcd time out"
    so i remove network from DAEMONS  and just load the wireless card's driver module, then i configure my wireless at the bash.
    meanwhile, i find another strange appearance
    when i use:
       ifconfig wlan0 up
       iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxx key s:xxxxxxxxxxxxx
       dhcpcd wlan0
    it tell me "dhcpcd time out"
    and then dhcpcd wlan0 again ,it works.
    while i use:
       iwconfig wlan0 essid xxxx key s:xxxxxxxxxxxxx
       ifconfig wlan0 up
       dhcpcd wlan0
    it works well.
    i just put iwconfig before ifconfig, it works~ 囧!
    now i have to remove network from DAEMONS at /etc/rc.conf and put the commands in the /etc/rc.local
    anyone have ideas?why?
    thanx very much and sorry for my english. english is not my mother language. :-)

    Notes on trying out netcfg:
    - install netcfg: pacman -S netcfg
    - set up a profile file in /etc/networks.d (copy a file from /etc/networks.d/examples and edit it)
    - add the name of the profile file to NETWORKS=() in /etc/rc.conf
    - add '@net-profiles' to DAEMONS=() in /etc/rc.conf (put it after 'network',  prefixed with '@' so you don't have to wait for the network just to log in)
    - remove the name of your interface that you want netcfg to set up from INTERFACES=() in /etc/rc.conf (so it doesn't try to set it up twice)
    - also turn off whatever other network configuration daemon, like wicd, you might have been using.

  • Only right and left channels work with external sound card

    Just got the USB Sound blaster xfi surround 5.. connected it to my laptop and connected to my home theather in a box using optical connection.
    downloaded and installed latest software but when I do a channel check I only get sound out of the right and left and even then it does not sound right.
    I have verified that my home theater in the box will play 5. with optical input and have verified with the built in test tones of the home theater that all speakers are working and correctly hooked up.
    The laptop is ruiing windows xp 3.
    Any suggestions.
    Thank you.

    Which S&V vi's do you mean to be dedicated to NI hardware?
    A quick peek into the addon show me waveforms as input and the sound vis have a waveform output.
    OK I didn't look at the examples and by habbit ignore the express vis .   But maybe you just want to use a program instead of programming your application?

  • Latest Update Causes Problem with Creative Sound Card?

    I installed the latest Quicktime update (7.3.1) and Windows Media Player would no longer work, giving me a message that my sound card (Creative Sound Blaster Audigy) was broken. I ran the sound card diagnostics and indeed it failed several of the the test (particularly wav files). I also tried streaming music via my XM radio subscription and that also did not work.
    I reverted my system to its previous state (before the Quicktime update) with Norton GoBack, and now everything works again.
    Anyone have a similar problem? Is this a bug or perhaps was there a glitch in the installation that caused this?
    Thanks,

    I'm not having that problem, but I am having a problem of my computer being locked up once it goes into sleep mode.

  • Tecra a11 s3540 latency problems with Usb sound card.

    Hello, I buy this laptop some months ago to use it as Digital audio work station, but ocours that may usb sound card (Focusrite saffire usb 6) and other usb controller (Novation lounchpad) doesn´t work properlly; the sound card work with to much latency, and the controller its extremlly slow to response...
    Any one have the same experience with some usb audio devices?
    Any one have some addvices about this problem?
    cheers

    UPDATE: I got the MIDI I/O to USB adapter working. Now I just need to get the USB Microphone and USB Sound Card to work.

  • :( I stilll have problems with my sound card

    OK, I finally got the right drivers for my OEM soundcard and everything works fine. Of course, the one thing that doesn't work is the thing I bought the sound card for. In games like Battlefield2, whenever I choose Creative X-Fi it says I don't have the right hardware, but I do. Any ideas on what is wrong? (also, I made sure all the other settings were correct)

    I have a dual boot dv6426us fwiw, but when I tried to UPDATE an audio driver under XP, I experienced similiar problems with the headphone jacks and also some goofy behavior with the quicklink touch mute button.  I reverted back to Conexant High Definition Audio 3.26.0.50 11/09/2006 and I was back in business.  My point is I guess, is that the wrong driver WILL and CAN cause issues that "I" wouldn't have guessed to be driver related

  • Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite with PC Sound card?

    Hi all,
    I'm new to LabVIEW, so please bear with me.
    I would like to take some basic network measurements of a single channel hardware audio device. I have a PCI sound card which I was able to play sound files and receive input with using the sound2 Simultaneous_Sound_IO.vi. I'm wondering if it's possible and how difficult it would be to integrate this VI with the VIs associated with the Sound and Vibration Measurement Suite? I've downloaded the trial version of the Measurement Suite and it appears to include all of the measurements I need (frequency response, THD, dynamic range), however they're all designed to work with NI DAQ hardware.
    If it is possible, could someone point me in the right direction as far as integrating the two, or even post or direct me towards existing VIs if there are any?
    Thanks so much

  • W530 and a problem with the sound card

    Hi,
    Whenever I play a song or a tune, I experience a reoccurring glitch or a "bzzzzzt" for about half a second, before the sound gets back to normal. This seems to be totally random, and not caused by heavy usage of RAM or the processor.
    Do you think this is a hardware problem or a driver related issue?
    Any suggestions to solve this are appreciated.
