Satellite C50-A - Logitech speaker system - quiet subwoofer

Hi
I have a brand new Toshiba Satellite C50 A -19T. I have a Logitech speaker system that produces a pleasing sound. When I plug it into the new laptop, the subwoofer only produces a very quiet sound, leaving a tinny sound overall. The speakers work perfectly with an alternative laptop.
Is there anything I can do to alter the sound levels or is the soundcard at fault?
Thanks

If you connected the external speakers to the notebook, you should also check the volume settings and level. Usually you can do this in control panel -> sound -> playback.
As far as I know you can also find additional sound application called DTS Sound & DTS Studio Sound which is preinstalled on the notebook
DTS Studio Sound is a premium audio enhancement suite that utilizes revolutionary audio technology to provide the most impressive and realistic listening experience ever offered for a two speakers playback environment.
To access this utility click on:
Desktop -> Desktop Assist (in task bar) -> Media & Entertainment -> DTS Studio Sound
You can also find the DTS sound (it delivers immersive surround sound complete with deep, rich bass and crystal clear dialog). Click on
Desktop -> Desktop Assist (in task bar) -> Media & Entertainment -> DTS sound
Check it too.

Connecting a Logitech speaker system to my laptop

I recently aquired the above speaker system & wish to connect to my laptop. The only socket available is the earphones socket - anybody any experience of this?

And where is the problem?
Maybe you need some adapter?
By the way: which Logitech speaker system do you want to use?

I just got a new iMac. And I wondered if I can. Use my yamaha speaker system with subwoofer?

I just got a new Iimac and I wondered if I can use my speaker system from my last pc, the speakers are yamahas with a powered subwoofer ?

If your presumably "amplified" Yamaha speakers have a USB connection, then it should work fine with your iMac by connecting the USB connection and THEN going into your Mac's Applications folder>System Preferences>Sound>select the "Output" tab and select the Yamaha speakers shown in the list below. That should do it.
Hope this helps

'5.0' speaker system (no subwoofer) - LFE to front chann

Hello
I have an Audigy 2 ZS hooked up to a fi've speaker setup consisting of front pair, rear pair and centre but no sub - the front pair being capable of very low bass. I want to direct the LFE (i.e. the discrete '.' subwoofer channel) to the front pair so that I do not lose any audio info.
As I understand it, the bass redirection facility in Speaker Settings is 'one-way', i.e. it will take bass from the surround channels and direct it to the sub, but not the other way round, i.e. the LFE doesn't get directed to the front/surround channels.
Is there a way of getting LFE to my front/surround speakers? Failing that, does the 4.0 speaker setup option direct LFE through the front/surround channels?
Thanks
BumpenGrinder

I may be all wet, but I think I've heard it said that the LFE channel isn't considered a low bass channel, i.e. that not to say there's no bass in the other channels, but the low frequency effects channel is to add emphasis if there is a subwoofer. You may not be missing that much.
You could do this externally with a 2-channel mixer, splitting the LFE channel into 2 mixer inputs, to mix them individually with the front L/R channels.
It's possible one or more of the DVD software players out there have a setting for this if you configure them to do the decoding.
Are you sure your front speakers are designed for really low bass? LFE might not be that good for them or they might have a crossover that would mostly toss the signal.

My speaker system won't work with the 6th gen nano

Why won't my Logitech Speaker system for the iPod play or charge my 6th gen nano? It's worked for all of my other nano's. I hope there's no compatability issues.

I'm having almost the exact same problem with my JBL On Stage Micro Speaker (from around 1996) except it charges and syncs my Nano 6G OK. It just won't play the Nano thru the speakers. All my other iPods have played fine sitting in the JBL speaker including my Touch 4G from fall 2010.
The only thing I can think of is that the dock connector in the Nano 6G is wired differently? It would be interesting to hear if anyone has speakers that play using the Nano dock connector. Or if someone from Apple would let us know if the dock connector pin-outs have changed. Very sucky!

External subwoofer doesnt work when I connect it to Satellite C50-A-19T

Hi,
I bought a laptop Satellite C50-A-19T a ew weeks ago and when I connect my speakers Creative Inspire 2.1 doesn't work the subwoofer. It works even with my cellphone. What can I do to solve this problem?
Thanks and Merry Xmas!

In my opinion this isnt notebook (Toshiba) related problem and therefore you should check the speaker manufacturer support page for more information how to use and connect such speakers.
I recommend you to check the [ Creative Knowledgebase Solutions|http://support.creative.com/Products/ProductDetails.aspx?catID=4&subCatID=464&prodID=46 1&prodName=Inspire%202.1%202500&subCatName=Inspire &CatName=Speakers&VARSET=prodfaq:PRODFAQ_461,VARSE T=CategoryID:4] portal to get some details how to use such speakers in connection with different devices.
But from my point of view its an Windows 8.1 driver issue.
To use such sound blaster, the Windows 8.1 driver is required as mentioned on this creative support page.
http://support.creative.com/KB/showarticle.aspx?sid=61105&h=13
So next time you should visit the speaker manufacturer website to get the solution

How can I use a 5.1 speaker system? Logitech X-540 5.1

I am looking into buying this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Logitech-X-540-Multimedia-Speaker-System/dp/B000LBHFMO
Although, I am aware there aren't enough ports in order for it to work on my laptop.
How do I go about getting these ports externally? I mean like, an external sound card? Does such a thing exist?
Thank you

I imagine there is, but I can't recommend one. It will need an optical audio input through which to receive a 5.1 digital signal from the MBP's headphone port, and a digital-to-analog converter to provide the analog signal that the speakers evidently require.
I wasn't able to find specs for the speakers to see how many channels of input they expect.

Does the built-in 2.1 speaker system have a subwoofer?

The spec page claims "Built-in 2.1 speaker system" but doesn't the .1 denote a subwoofer?
If so where is such a typically large speaker reside?
Thanks ... Ken

Thanks for the reply. Good to finally get some confirmation.
Creative should update that page. Quite an unprofessional error.

Satellite C50-A0413 - no bootable device --restart system

Satellite C50-A0413 that was pr-installed with Win8 but I didn't like it so I decided to downgrade it so that I can install Win7.
I formatted the HDD then installed Win7 on HDD. Everything went perfect so far but remember that the HDD was running on another machine so when I put it back to my laptop things went nasty because the machine could not detect my Drive again. It kept displaying no bootable device --restart system. What did I try to do to remedy the situation? Press f2 to access my utility set up, "Security" tab and change the value of the "Secure Boot" option to "Disabled" then system Configuration but I can't find Boot Mode to change it from UEFI to CSM.
What I do please help?

First of all I dont understand why you installed the Windows 7 using another notebook.
Another notebook supports different hardware components and its not advisable to switch HDD to another computer with already installed system.
In most cases there an conflict between hardware and software could appear.
Anyway, the boot mode (UEFI/CSM) should appear in Advanced tab ? system configuration.

Satellite C50-B-12V- can mic still work even after I plugged in headphones?

Hello,
My Satellite C50-B-12V comes with only one port for headphones, and microphone. thus, if I'm on a Skype call and want to hear clearer - so I plug in headphones, then the other party stops being able to hear me - presumably because my plugging in headphones disabled my microphone - thus I can now hear better - but my voice isn't going through the computer anymore.
I understand I can correct this problem by buying an audio y cable - which will make my 1 port for headphone/microphone into two ports - thus I can then plug in headphones and also a microphone - and the problem should be solved.
My question is, is there anyway I can set my computer to somehow not deactivate my microphone when I plug in headphones? Meaning - I would plug in headphones so that I can hear the other party better - but the computer external microphone would still be working?

Hi again
I have tested it on my machine a bit using Skype audio settings.
Here is how it works on my Satellite S50-B
When I use right headset (mic and headphones in one port) everything works as usual. Internal mic is OFF and I can speak through mic on headphones.
If I use my standard Logitech headset and connect headphones only, internal mic works anyway. So my voice is recorded through internal notebooks mic but I can hear sound on the headset.
There is no option where I can switch between internal or external microphone.
Can you please test it with your headset?
Which headset do you use exactly?

Creative Audigy And Speak System Not Loud.

I built an entertainment computer, running Windows Media Center 05, back in June. The entire time I've had it, it's been very quiet as far as the sound goes. I've finally had it, so I'm trying to get some help. The system is an AMD 2800+ with 52MB RAM; I have an Audigy 2 ZS and a "Creative Inspire P7800 90 Watts 7." Speaker system. To hear movies, mp3s, music videos, and so forth, I must turn the PC volume all the way up as well as the little wheel that is attached to the subwoofer all the way up. I still continually have friends complaining they can't hear movies when we're watching them... How can I get these systems to play louder, as I feel they ought to be doing by default?

...just use the normal stereo output (green plug) for 2. speakers. Despite the name, there is no separate "sub" input on ANY 2. speakers on the market: they all work with a stereo signal, and the sub channel is separated by a low-pass filter inside the speaker's amp itself.

A solution to the S750 speaker system problem

Well my s750 died just like everybody elses. But after creative wanted me to pay 75% of my purchase price, I found a better solution. Nope, I am not fixing the unit like you guy's. I do not see the need to fix a poorly design system! I am not sure if creative or indigo/bash/blade audio is to be blamed. But if I had to pick, I would say "indigo/bash/blade audio". Years ago before blade audio became indigo, I had a chance to visit their location in ontario Canada. This was just when they stop making the blade audio car amps.
While I was there, I happened to see this long list of brand names they had started to make amp modules for. Names like Harman International, Klipsch and so on. Anyway I cast the blame on indigo for this reason: Some years ago I had purchased a set of "harman international" infinity IL series speakers. Like our creative s750, the infinity shares a bash powered subwoofer system. And just like the s750 the infinity subwoofer like to blow up too! In the case of the infinity, the power supply was the weak link. The amp module in the infinity at that time, was built just like the blade audio car amps before. Which in my opinion is a much better design than what is being used in the s750. I remember one of the sale guy at circuit city at the time saying, "I wish we would drop this model". He went on to tell me the failure on the powered units were very high. You know there is a problem when the mid level Creative Inspire T7700 7.1, out last the flagship s750. Now, whats my better solution you guy's want to know? Two words , Simplifi Digital! The 7075a 7.1 amplifier along with Definitive Technology Pro Sub1000 and the remaing surround speakers from my s750 system. Yes, it did cost me more to go this route. But what I now have is a much more reliable system. And a sound that the s750 can only dream about. My s750 died while I was listening to Dave Bruebeck quartet "take five" at mid volume. With my current setup, I can listen mid volume all day long with no hiccups.
For those who my have the cash to spend. I recommend looking at my direction!? Keep this in mind, make sure whatever powered subwoofer you choose, is adjustable up to 50hz. The creative surround speakers dont play very well below 20hz. Also make sure whatever powered sub you choose don't use a BASH amplifier. For those looking at the s750 as a purchase, good luck. Or go over to partsexpress.com and get the Dayton Part Number 300-670, surround speakers. Then get the simplifi digital 7075 7.1 amplifier and power subwoofer of your choice and make a better/best system. Sorry Creative Labs! This post is NOT intended to cast negativity. I use and like the products you offer. I just do not like the s750, and the reasons are all over this forum and elsewhere on the net. I currently own 3 audigy 2zs sound cards, three Inspire t7700 speaker system, three sound blasters modems and yes, one defective/dead s750 speaker system. If anything use this post as a positive to what Creative Labs could offer in the future. A system like I now have, sure would be nice with the Creative name all over it.

My system specs below. What I have now simply blows the S750 away. And this is mated to my Audigy 2zs card. I am tempted to try my Terratec Aueron 7.1 universe which does sound better than my 2zs. The Simlifi Digital amplifier is one serious unit. This amp has one HUGE toroidal transformer inside of it! I was able to see it thru the vents on top of the cover.
