Satellite A45-S1202...sound driver not working?

Greetings. I couldn't find this problem by browsing/searching the forum, so here I am:
My laptop's sound works, but ONLY if I'm using the Imaging disc that came with the comp. I've tried a copy of XP Professional w/ SP1...no sound, so I reinstalled the drivers, and it still didn't work. Here's where it gets confusing: I've taken my laptop to a computer store and had XP Pro installed by them and everything worked fine. The tech even included copies of all the drivers he installed, so I could do it myself. I tried it again a few years later, and I didn't have sound. I was fine with keeping it with the very basic version of XP that the thing came with, but in order to get the new version of iTunes, I needed SP2, and my new iPod needs SP3. So, I install SP3 and yep, no sound again. It looks like the newest sound driver for this computer is six years old (which means more it was a year old when I got the dang computer). Any way to fix this?

Actually...it's fixed itself. I don't understand, but hey!

Equium A100: Sound driver not working under WinXP

Hi, when I bought my laptop I had Vista installed on it , I installed win XP but I didn't have any drivers, but I downloaded Toshiba tools & utilities CD wich have all drivers for my lapop, everything works okay only realtek sound driver doesnt work properly when I restart my pc error appears, I made screenshot of it it maybe u can help me with that problem.
Heres the link to see srceenshot: http://rstheclan.googlepages.com/error.JPG

Have you installed the two KBs (knowledge bases) from Microsoft before running sound driver setup?
You could try and download the sound drivers manually and give it a reinstall. Besides this error message, does sound play in Windows?
Need drivers you can find there: http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com (Support & Downloads)
One more question. What Service Pack do you use? Still SP2 or the all brand new SP3? With the last one, there are sometimes issues with realtek sound drivers.

Satellite C650D-113 - WiFi driver not working on Windows XP

The wifi-driver downloadable from Toshibas site is not working it seems, it installs as if it's all correct, removing the yellow exclamation mark from the device manage. But the "wireless network connection" icon that is supposed to appear in the network connections folder does not appear and this is where I am stuck.
Or maybe it wasnt the driver, downloaded and installed the wireless lan client manager because there were no specific "wifi driver" to download.

Yep, checked the fn+f8 before posting, and it's on. A new problem has arisen now aswell, the audio driver won't install with the message "ERROR: driver installation failed: could not find the MEDIA device for this driver." What gives?
Edit: Allright, the driver from the link given worked, awesome, thanks! Only sound left that needs to work and I'm set. :)

Notebook dv8285ea with Windows 7: Sound driver not working

On my Notebook dv8285ea (bought in 2006), that came with Windows XP, I have mounted a new SSD drive and installed Windows 7 Prof (32 bit). - It works fine except for one problem: There is no sound from the speakers. I get error messages such as "No Audio Output Device installed". That is: The Sound part of the motherboard is not compatible with the Windows 7 sound driver.
Can anyone point to a solution? - The dv8285 is not among the notebooks that HP has provided Win7 drivers for.

MSI P35 Realtek HD sound driver not working

I am unable to reinstall the driver nor uninstall it.. The nividia VGA GTS 8800 works great and the LAN works, except HD Audio not working.
Good thing I got creative sound card and 1 available PCI slot to install it..

O my P965 Plat I could not install a new version of the driver nor uninstall the old version. Never figured out why but I keep restoring images getting progressively older and found one I was able to uninstall the old driver and then install the new driver.

Satellite Pro A210 DVD Drive not working - error code 39

Hi All
My Satellite Pro A210 dvd drive is not loading.
When I looked into it it showed an error code 39.
I tried uninstalling it and reinstalling it but it's still not working.
Any ideas?

Hi
From my knowledge the error message 39 appears if the CD/DVD drive is not visible in the My Computer.
You can try this workaround:
Go to device manager and delete the CD/DVD drive from the device list.
Then go to registry (regedit) and remove the upper and lower filters from the key:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\ Control\Class\ {4D36E965-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}
Then reboot the unit and test it again
I think this should help!

Satellite M40-237: CD Boot not working + is USB flash drive boot possible

*Model: Satellite M40-237 (PSM40E)*
I decided to reinstall windows, my hard drive is currently formatted. So as usual, boot from Windows CD is needed to start instalation but it simply won't boot. I never had problems like this, boot always worked. It is like there is no bootable CD in the drive (but it is bootable and it is working on another PC).
- i have the latest BIOS
- BIOS detects optical drive and everything is ok, HDD is primary ODD is secondary
- i tried selecting boot priority with F12 and/or setting it from BIOS, but it won't work either way
What could be the problem here? Drive not working properly (i hope it is that and not something worse)? I had some problems with the drive i before (writing...), but it reads CD/DVD's normally and like i said boot was working fine before. I cleaned the lens a little, disconected it and put it back. Is there anything more i can do ?
I am trying to find someone who has the drive that fits so i can try with that one, but who knows when will that be.
Now, here is the second question i have related to this. Because my laptop is practically useless currently (i can't install anything), is it possible to boot from:
a) external USB optical drive
b) USB flash drive
Bios on this laptop has no USB boot option, it has HDD / CD / FDD / network. But I've red somewhere that FDD = USB if legacy emulation is enabled.
If that is correct i should just plug the USB drive and select FDD as boot option ? If i can't find USB optical drive, i was thinking of making USB bootable flash disk and copying windows xp installation on it. So once it boots into DOS i just start setup from the stick.
tnx

First of all I have to say that the booting from USB flash memory (USB stick) is not possible and you shouldnt waste the time trying this.
Regarding your CD/DVD drive booting issue
Well, its really strange it sounds a little bit like a kind of master/slave/c-sel settings issue. But usually you should get a IDE (#0 or #1) error if one of the devices (HDD or ODD) would be not recognized ?:|
The whole story sounds mysteriously
Maybe there is a firmware issue
Several months ago a friend of mine was not able to boot from the CD.
He entered the BIOS and set the BIOS back to the default settings.
This helped
This is a suggestion but I really dont know if it helps.

Satellite Pro L40 - Sound Driver after Windows XP SP3 Install

Hi,
I had bought the Satellite Pro L40 about 6 months ago and the speed of the laptop was too slow with windows Vista. So I decided to install an old copy of windows XP that I had bought earlier. I upgraded the windows installation to SP3 before installing all the drivers.
Now all the drivers have been installed properly except the sound driver. I downloaded the XP version of the driver from the toshiba website but it did not work. So I though maybe the vista version would work, so I downloaded that. But that didn't work either.
Can anyone suggest a solution where I can get the sound driver to work? Preferably without having to get the windows reinstalled again.
Please help me out...!
Thanks

i have hp pavilion dv4 series.my dvd drive not worked properly.for that purpose only i went 7 times in your service centre but they won't take action till now .why u people do like this .i want explation and just change my dvd drive that's all.

tcrite,
Sounds like a bad drive...I would get a replacement. According to Accelerate Your Mac database, it should work without issue.
Just enter the model number of the drive and select your Powerbook G3 2000, and you will see four reports on this model.

Sound control not working on my blue tooth keyboard

sound control not working with my bluetooth keyboard

UAVPilot,
Thank you for the information. I do show that the device and car are capable of this function. I do not show any reason you should not be hearing the notifications. One thing you will want to check is that the sound for both your notifications and media are turned up. Also you can look into going into Settings>Apps>S voice Drive Mode> Clear Cache. This should clear any possible bugs in the application. Please keep us updated on this and we can check on other options.
Thank you,

I just installed windows 7 using bootcamp. My sound is not working. any tips?

so, As my title says, I just installed windows 7 using boot camp. However, My sound is not working. at all. This is a problem as most of what I do involves sound.
any tips to help me out?

you, or we,still need to install audio driver, likely Cirrus,

HP Pro 3125 MT - Windows 7 Enterprise 64. Sound is not working.

HP Pro 3125 MT - Windows 7 64 bit. I've installed the audio driver SP51083 as suggested by HP (here).
As soon as I installed them the sound is not working anymore. The sound card is seen by the control panel, and everything seems to be correct (the system even detect when a jack plug is connected or disconnected to the audio card), but no sound come out from the speakers. I just hear a soft buzz.
I couldn't rollback, so I tried to uninstall drivers and install Realtek ones (here)
Same result.
Note: speakers are working ( if I plug them to another computer they works witout problems). However even headphones are recognized by the Realtek panel, when connected, but the output is, also in this case, always a buzz.
Any idea? Thank you.

Hi:
Did you try uninstalling the entire audio device?
Right click on the device and select uninstall, and check the box that says uninstall drivers. reboot and see what happens.
Then if the audio doesn't automatically install, you can try manually reinstalling the driver by browing to the installation folder that was created when you extracted the driver.
Click on the audio driver in the device manager. Click on the driver tab. Click on update driver and browse to the driver folder that was created. The HP driver would be found in C:\SWSETUP\sp51083.
If none of that works, maybe someone else has another idea you can try.
When I am confounded by issues like this, I reinstall the OS, applications notwithstanding.
I look at it this way. I can spend hours getting nowhere, or I can bite the bullet and get my PC back up and running. Then I know not to install a program or driver the next time that killed a function of my PC.

Pavillion Entertainment PC DV6 - sound suddenly not working

Hello,
My computer just installed an automatic update from Windows and now my sound is not working at all.
I have Vista 32 bit operating system and my notebook is a DV6-1107AX.
I have already unstalled and reinstalled the IDT driver and it's still not working.
Help please - I desperately want my audio back!
Thanks

Hi Sades,
I understand your audio does not work correctly after a Microsoft update. Here is a document on undoing the update. You can restore it to a previous time when it was working correctly.

Satellite L300 (PSLB8C-0H901X) does not work

My laptop Toshiba Satellite L300 PSLB8C-0H901X, does not work, no power, no POST, nothing, Get power and charge lamp when pluged in nothing else, any known issues? Any fixes, Thanks in advance for your help.

Hmm sounds like a serious hardware issue.
If you are a lucky man the issue could be related to RAM module.
The RAM modules can be replaced easily. The memory bay is placed at the bottom of the unit secured by one screw.
But the question is if its really related to RAM.
Well, you will know this if you would replace/check this
Otherwise I recommend asking an professional notebook technician for a help
