Satellite A305-S6872 - S/P DIF output port (shared with headphone port)

The A305-S6872 manual specifies that I could use the same output port of the headphone to get the S/PDIF digital sinal.
Can anyone help me to understand what is the right cable to use this output to take the audio digital signal to my home theater (which has a digital coax as input)?
If I use one cable P2 to RCA, the RCA and has 2 plugs (as P2 is stereo) - can I use one of the jacks to plug in the home theater coax digital input?
Tks for your assistance,
Best
Rodrigo

It's an optical digital out.
You need a optical mini to Toslink cable.
And, of course, a reciever or other decoder with an optical input.
The cable would be like the following:

Oh, and don't overpay for a cable from some big name brand, you're just paying for marketing smoke and mirrors.

Won't hurt to reinstall the driver. There are three listed for your model. The first two have the same version and release date, but the file size is different. Try them all.

Satellite A305-S6872 internal modem configuration for call waiting

Can someone point me to instructions for configuring the internal modem (suppose to be V.92) to work with call waiting on a Satellite A305-S6872? I would like to be able to hear the phone ring when a call comes in when I am connected to my ISP so I can decide if I want to take the call. Currently, I can configure the settings on my ISP to work with call waiting but I cannot hear the phone ring when I get a call. My ISP tells me I have to configure the modem in the laptop.
Thanks.

Re: Satellite A305-S6872 media control buttons driver?

Ok, so I just got this laptop on Sunday.
It has the media control buttons on it, but they won't work.
I've read a few posts about it, saying that I need to download the Control driver..
Well, I spent hours last night looking for it. :\
Anyone have the direct link to it?

Hallo Kitsune
Try to reinstall Value added Package. You can download it from Toshiba support page. If you have US notebook model please visit http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp
Hallo Glead
In users manuals is described that this button is not for 2 functions but just for one. Either for MUTE or for enabling/disabling the LEDs. I have Satellite A300 too and this button is for disabling LEDs only.
Have a look into this symbol and you will see it is not speaker but symbol for light.
Compare it with symbol on ESC button and you will see it is not the same.

Toshiba Satellite A305-S6872 Will not start up

I have the above mentioned computer and it is 2 years old. Last year in January the hard drive crashed and had to have new one installed at Best Buy. Now it will not start up. When I turn it on the Toshiba screen displays with F2 and F12 options. Then the creen goes black and the following displays:
Intel UNDI, PXE-2.1 (build 082)
Copyright (C) 1997-2000 Intel Corporation
For realtek RTL8101E/8102E PCI-E Ethernet Controller v1.07 (080320)
PXE-E61: <edia test failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting PXE ROM
No bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key
I insert the recovery CD and it says windows loading files then has a screen that says Selecting a Process: Toshiba Recovery Wizard or System Recovery Options. I choose System Recover Options and then choose English language and US keyboard layout. Then the following screen comes up: Select an operating system to repair .... If you do not see your operating system listed click Load Drivers to load drivers for your hard disks. When I choose Load Drivers I do not know where to find the OS driver. When I click Next and choose Startup Repair it says it is unable to fix the problem automatically.
I don't want to choose Toshiba recover Wizard because it says it will erase everything. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this problem?

The exact same thing happened to me yesterday Feb 5!!!
During normal use of windows 7 the computer crashed and went through the same boot procedure as described by the previous poster.
Now I can't do anything with my hard drive. I tired everything. I even tried restoring it from the backup image that I have, but it said that it cannot find hard drive!
I do not have Toshiba Recovery. Can I download it from somewhere?
Does anyone have any suggestions? After booting from Win 7 Recovery Disk, I even tried fixing the MBR and partitions, but I would always get an error message that the system doesn't support the software I tried using (guessing because it's 64bit?)
Please, any suggestion is most welcome and appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Djape

Driving a 2nd monitor at high res with Satellite A305-S6992E

Hi all-
Newbie here (so please be gentle!) :-)
I am thinking of buying this new Satellite A305-S6992E, but no salesperson can answer this question; will the Mobile Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 be able to drive my 2nd monitor (plugged into the standard VGA 15-pin Port) at a resolution of 1920 X 1280? The laptop's display will go to 1280 X 800 and that's just fine, but I need to know if I can esentially have that res on the laptop's screen and at the same time the higher res on the big monitor... anyone have an answer?
Thanks much in advance, have a great week- Marty Moose

It should work fine. I have always used my laptops with an external monitor at higher resolution. Just turn on the extended desktop settings the way you want, and switch displays with Fn+F5.

My mini dvi output port is no longer working (2007 iMac) please help!

My mini dvi output port is no longer working, can this be replaced or do I need a new motherboard? (it's a 2007 iMac, no longer under warrantee. Long story short when I was out of town someone cut my power cord on my tv I went to turn the tv on and looked at the back of the tv to see if there was any loose connections and found the cord sliced 3/4 of the way through. I must have bumped the cord and it sparked and made a loud pop noise. Well it fried the tv (which has since been fixed) but everything that was connected to it (my ps3, receiver, and my iMac) ports are all not working now... (and yes i did try new hdmi cables to see if it was just that) If this is a hardware issue what exactly is needed to fix this? A new main board? Any feedback would be great on this. I took it to apple and they said $650 to replace the motherboard... Was just wondering if this port can just be replaced or if it is a part of the main board and that does need replacing. Everything else works fine on all three things (ps3, receiver, imac) just the outputs are fried on them. Is there any other way I can do video out of my iMac other than mini dvi? I'm not paying for the repair so I don't mind having apple replace the board, but for $650... I may as well get a new iMac for $500 more...

If Apple said the motherboard is gone, that's your answer. Even if you were to find out the port isn't part of the main board, it's all connected when you're talking about a power surge/short as you described it. And yes, I'd never invest $650 in a 5 year old computer.

Satellite A305-S6825 - HDD light flickers sometimes

I have the Toshiba Satellite A305-S6825, which I bought back in April. 250GB and 3GB Ram.
I notiice sometimes when I am not working on it that the Hard Disk drive light is flickering for some quite some time. Is this normal?
I don't have any programs checked (I think) to do any automatic updating and/or scanning, etc.
Are there programs running in the Vista Premium without me using the actually working on the notebook?
I hope the notebook is not broken.
Alice
USA

The notebook is definitely not broken. The same happen with my two Toshiba laptops.
In the background many processes are active and it is possible that antivirus checks or scans the HDD.
Maybe some updates are installed at this moment. It can be anything.
Anyway, don't worry. Everything is OK.

Re: Hard drive failing on my 1 year old Satellite A305-S6905

My hard drive is failing on my laptop [a Satellite A305-S6905] it was a year old Feb 11'th so no warranty, now i have to pay someone to put in a new HD, pay for the HD and pay them to put a new OS in it because they don't come with Operating System Disks anymore, a good I had already bought a Windows 7 disk, but wait, ...I can't use that, it's an upgrade, so now what am I gonna do?

>and pay them to put a new OS in it because they don't come with Operating System Disks anymore
I think there was an option to create own recovery disk!
I think all info was placed in the user manual as I saw this also in user manual of the Toshiba European notebooks
The HDD can die due to different reasons in most cases its a matter of the time when a HDD would dieits a expendable part my HDD died after 5 year of usage in your case its just an bad luck
PS: in my country the TV, notebooks, computers, etc are covered by warranty for 2 years. Maybe you should ask your dealer for help
Otherwise the HDD replacement is not difficult the HDD bay is placed at the bottom of the unit and you can remove the HDD easily
Bye

Why do I get an error 10612 when trying to readback from a line on an output port of a PCi-6527?

I am configuring the port (Port 3) as all outputs (even though it is not software configurable, I wanted to get a Task ID for it the first time that I use it). I can set the bit OK using a Port Write, but then when I follow that with a Port Read, I get the 10612 error. The manual says you can readback from the port, and the data that I'm getting seems correct, yet I still get that error. Is this normal, or is there a better way to implement this. I'm just getting started on my first project, and these simple things are frustrating.
Thanks.

The 10612 error code that you are receiving is not actually an error but a warning. The NI-DAQ Function Reference Manual for DIG_In_Prt states that if you call this function on an output port that has readback capability, +10612 will be returned along with the state of the output port. Apparently, this information was not included in the LabVIEW On-line Help. Generally, you can ignore this warning.

Erin

Simultanious audio output from both mini Displayport and Audio Output port?

Hey guys,
I was wondering if someone who already has audio+video output through the mini displayport set up can be so kind and answer the following questions for me:
Can audio be output simultaniously from 3.5mm audio port as well as the mini displayport? That is, if I output both video and audio to my reciever through the 2010 iMac's mini Diplayport, can i use the standard audio output port to provide line input for a further set of (active) speakers (analog would be fine)?
In the case both outputs CANNOT work simultaniously, which one will work if i have both plugged in? If the mini displayport has higher rank (or priority or what whatever i should call the one that works when both outputs are plugged in), and the reciever it is plugged into is switched off, will audio automatically switch to the standard audio port? Same question goes if the standard audio output port has higher rank/priority?
Many thanks in advance!
Just in case you are wondering why the heck i would wanna do that, here's some background:
I am planning on setting up my new 27' iMac on a 'work' desk in my bedroom, where i can comfortably sit and work on the computer as well as use the beautiful screen as my bedroom TV. Since i also wanna use my mac for all my living room multimedia needs (movies, tv shows, music, etc), i plan on running a long (15m) audio+video HDMI cable all the way up to my reciever in my living room. Furthermore, i am also planning on running a USB cable to the living room (through something of this sort: http://www.coolgear.com/images/171632pro.jpg) plugged in to a usb hub mainly for mouse/keyboard availability in the living room, but also for other things such as external hard drives and so on. The problem is that, apart from having my audio play in the living room, i also want to provide line input to my reference monitors that will be located at the iMac desk and i obviously much prefer i get the line input directly from the mac rather than running a third cable from reciever back to the speakers.

Anyone?
Is that so few people are using the new mini displayport for audio, or did i ask the wrong way?
Help will be greatly appriciated as i need this info in order to plan my purchases!

Input and Output Ports Problem

Hi,
I have defined an IView where I defined the Outcome to an OUTPUT Port EMP which sends Employee Number.
And I had defined one more IView where it starts from an Input Port EMP, which takes Employee Number as Input for the RFC Enabled Function Module.
Both these IViews are there in the same page. So in the page level I tried defining a link between these two ports of these IViews. But I was not able to do that.
Why is it happening so?
Is it possible to define a link from OUTPUT PORT of FIRST IVIEW to INPUT PORT of SECOND IVIEW?
Can anyone let us know if this is possible.
Regards,
Raja Sekhar

Hi Deep,
Well, I am using VC 6.
And We are on EP 6.0 SP14.
And how to check if these .SDA files are deployed into my PORTAL?
Coming to EPCM values of both the PORTS...
com.sap.visualcomposer:epcm
Both have the same value.
