Satellite L505D-S5983 and Turtle Beach gaming headsets

Do Turtle Beach headsets work with Satellite L505D-S5983 laptops? I was thinking about getting a PC Ear Force Z1 Head set, but I wasn't sure if it would be compatable with my laptop. I have Windowsx

Hi! Why do you think it's hardware?? Have you tried to restore back to factory? Have you tried to boot with the system repair disc??http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/how-to-use-a-system-repair-disc-to-restore-windows.html
There is a lot messing in your message

Poor microphone quality with Turtle Beach PX5 headset over Bluetooth and Ventrilo

I'm having a problem where I cannot seem to get good microphone audio out of my Turtle Beach PX5 Bluetooth headset when using my iMac and Ventrilo under OS X Snow Leopard.
In my testing, Skype test calls seem to be ok, but I'm told by those listening to me on Ventrilo that my voice has a distinctly distored sound, as if I'm swallowing the microphone or the sound is highly digitized. For comparison, I've been using a USB-based Polycom CX300 speakerphone that listeners have said sounds great.
I've also noticed that I cannot get the audio input level of headset to register more than about 50% on the meter, despite having the level slider set to maximum.
It's difficult for me to tell if it's the headset, Bluetooth on the Mac, Ventrilo or some other odd combination. I'm going to try passing the devices through to Windows 7 on Parallels and test Ventrilo from there to see if there's any difference.
Any suggestions from folks better versed on the Mac than I am would be greatly appreciated.

I can add a data point: this is the same thing that happens with the Harmon Kardon BT headphones--which, amazingly, just started working today for some reason I don't understand. It's almost as if the bi-directional audio requires a different profile to acommodate the bidirectional nature of the audio.
More research may be required.

How to reinstall windows 7 on Satellite L505D-S5983 when hard drive had to be replaced

I recently had my Satellite L505D-S5983 laptop's hard drive die due to disk failures and had to replace the hard drive. Because the laptop is older I am not able to read the activation key from the laptop and do not have a recovery partition from the dead drive. How can I authorize a version of windows 7 on the new hard drive and install it?

Downloads here.
Best to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media. All the drivers and utilities are properly preinstalled. Windows is preactivated.
If you failed to burn recovery discs, you can obtain them from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here.
For instructions, see the section Restoring from recovery DVDs/media, which begins on p. 70 of the User's Guide.
Satellite L500 Series User’s Guide
If the new hard disk uses advanced-format technology, be prepared to install a new storage driver first thing.

Satellite L505D-S5983 - CD/DVD-ROM issue

Hello.
I have a Windows 7 Home Edition laptop that will not boot from the CD-DVD-ROM drive. Under normal circumstances, I know that if the boot order is right, the computer should automatically boot from the CD. However, it instead refuses to acknowledge any bootable disks I have in there at all. I have tried from Super Fdisk bootable CD to Linux Mint 9 Live boot CD version i386. My computer seems to just skip over the CD_ROM entirely and immediately boot from the hard drive.
However, it can still read CDs and DVDs perfectly. I have no problem burning items on a CD or pulling items off. I also have no problem playing games or movies that require a CD or DVD.
Solutions I have attempted:
Changing the boot order. Nothing changed.
Creating new CDs. Nothing Changed.
Gently cleaning the drive. Nothing changed.
Pressing the left and right arrow keys during the POST. Though it did throw me into the screen in which I choose what I want to boot, my only option was Windows 7 in the end.
Checking the Device Manager. My drive is working perfectly according to my computer.
Changing drivers. Updating wasn't possible as I already had the latest drivers, rolling back wasn't an option because there wasn't anything to roll back to, and disabling and enabling changed nothing.
Is there anything else I can do? I'm trying not to buy a new drive, as I'm short on money. I'll do it if I have to, but if I don't have to...
Thanks for any help or advice.

Desktop won't detect Turtle Beach USB Headset

It's been around 2-3 hours since I started, and all I have managed to do was make my driver unusable and sound to not work.
No idea why the USB won't detect, but it seems to be on the computer end and not the headset.

could i get an answer?

Satellite L505D-S5965 and Recovery Disk Creater

I did a clean install of windows 7 when I upgraded and no longer have the Toshiba recovery disk creator.
I can still boot the HDD recovery tool I did not delete this partition when I upgraded. I would like to be able to create a recovery disk for my system in case anything ever happened to my Hard Drive.
Where can I download he Toshiba Recovery Disk Creator tool? Is there another way for me to get a recovery Disk?

Wait a moment.
I believe with your answers you go in the wrong direction.
Timox asked very good question but you didn't offer exact answer.
Please don't mix two very important but completely different things:
# New notebooks are delivered without recovery DVD and this installations DVD must be created by notebook owner. For this purposes Toshiba has installed small tool called "Toshiba Recovery Disc Creator". This tool can be used for installations disc creation only.
# I don't know what do you understand under HDD recovery tool but fact is that recovery image is saved on second partition and can be used for HDD recovery installation. This can be done if you have factory settings only. After own operating system installation you will probably not be able to start HDD installation anymore even if the recovery files are still saved on second partition.
As I can see you have US notebook model. I don't know exactly how it works there but the principle must be the same as here in Europe.
At start-up you must press F8 or zero to enter Advanced boot options. There you should find option Repair my computer and following this option you will enter System recovery options with Toshiba recovery option.
When you install own operating system this option will be gone. I describe now how it works on European models but I believe on US models it must be similar.
So again the important questions:
Have you ever tried to start this HDD recovery installation (F8 or 0 at start-up)?
Can you start it now after Win7 installation? If not than you have a problem. I just hope you have created recovery DVD when you got your notebook.

Gaming Headset with Macbook Pro?

I just bought the new 2012 Macbook Pro Retina 2.3GHz and I was wondering if there was any way to connect my Earforce X11 Turtle Beach gaming headset to the computer and enable the mic feature. Since there is no audio in port on this computer, I'm only left with the audio out + USB.
What happens when I use voice chat in any program (not just games), I can hear the program's sounds and people's voices, but I can't turn on my mic due to the fact that my fan is going full speed and voice detection would pick that up and broadcast it to everyone.
Is there anyway that I can also enable the mic on my headset so that I can actually use the mic and not the built-in mic?
*By the way, I will mainly use the mic on Windows 7 running Boot camp.

I tried inserting both audio cables into the headphone port, and if I inserted the audio out cable, I would be able to hear everything through my headset, but my voice would still default through the built-in mic. If I inserted the audio in cable, I wouldn't be able to hear anything and it would still default to the built-in mic.

Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5965 - Are there any newer BIOS Failure updates? Last update was 2011

I have a Toshiba Satellite L505D-S5965 and got the BSOD. I have searched the forums and found a post;
BIOS Update Failure Satellite L505D-S5965
I tried creating a "Boot CD-ROM Installation Method Create CD-ROM Now but the webpage is no longer there.
I am having the exact same problem as the above post. The keyboard is not functional once you get past the Toshiba screen.
I followed the following instructions:
‎04-07-2011 06:57 PM - Reflash for INSYDE BIOS.
Using a separate computer if necessary perform the following:
1) Download your notebook model's BIOS "*.exe" file from the Support section. Mine was: slm0v150.exe
2) Extract the files from the "*.exe" file.
3) Locate the file that ends with ".fd", this is your actual BIOS file.
*(for different brand BIOS's the file may have a different extension such as .rom or .bin)
4) Rename your BIOS file to: "BIOS.fd" without the quotations.
5) Format a USB Flash Drive to (FAT or FAT32) file system.
6) Copy your newly named "BIOS.fd" file to the root directory of the Flash Drive. (Not inside any folders)
On the corrupt computer perform the following:
7) Remove the Battery, AC Adapter, and Hard Drive.
8) Plug the Flash Drive with your "BIOS.fd" file on it into any USB port.
9) While holding the Fn and F key on your keyboard:
a) Plug the AC adapter into your computer.
b) Hold the Power button until the computer turns on.
c) Release the Power button and both keys once you hear the fan turn on.
10) Observe your Flash Drive's LED's blinking, wait until your computer turns off and remove the Flash Drive.
11) Replace Battery and Hard Drive.
12) You're computer should be all set!
I can punch F2 to enter BIOS or F12 to enter Boot Manager, but the system doesn't respond to keyboard in either.
I attempted to flash BIOS off a USB as described in the above mentioned post, and it never worked. My flash drive lights up and then goes off. The BIOS version is the most current available according to Toshiba, 1.5
When I removed the HD and don't have a Recory disc in the DVD drive, I get:
"PXE-E61 Media Test Failure, check cable
hPXE-M0F: Exiting PXE ROM.
No Bootable device -- insert boot disk and press any key"
This is the same with the BIOS flash drive or without."
I have searched for any follow ups beyond the above post and can't find any. I appreciate any help, thank you in advance.
Kindly,
LaptopJ

E3 2015: Checking out the latest in gaming audio tech from Turtle Beach

My last booth visit at E3 2015 was with Turtle Beach to check out all their latest innovations in gaming audio headsets and equipment. As a gamer, having a good pair of headphones is vitally important. The strength of Turtle Beach is that they offer a range of products in all price ranges, so you can pick the pair best suited to your needs. My meeting with them also helped me discover an innovative new project they are working on, which could revolutionize how we listen to television.

Satellite L505D-S5965 got shutdown, hibernate and sleep problem after Windows 7 upgrade

I bought my Satellite L505D-S5965 last August. Everything worked fine on Vista. Last month I upgraded it to Windows 7 (Home premium, build 7600), then it started having problem to shutdown, hibernate and sleep. Half of the time, it will shutdown, hibernate or sleep just fine, however, the other half of the time it just never turns off.
For shutdown, it will go to the shutdown screen for 10 minutes until the a blue screen comes up, telling something about windows experience a crash and dumping memory, then it restarts itself.
For hibernation and sleep, it will go to the normal black screen but the hard disk light never turns off (i.e. the hardisk would keep running forever).
It will be a big help if someone can help me with that, I just don't want to keep doing the "hard turn off".

Hey thats great posting and detailed, thank you! :)
Im wondering how you found it out.
But I want to add something: Before you do or change something in Windows registry, make a backup of it. In worst case you restore the old Windows registry. Just to be sure ;)

Gaming headset fuzzy and every time I speak static?

I recently purchased the Sharkoon Xtatic SP Gaming Headset. Every time I plug the USB port in as well as the 3.5 mm stereo jack, I here a fuzzy noise in the headset, almost like someone constantly saying "shhhhhhh". I tried using it with skype and when I did the test call, my voice came back to me as staticy and almost like a crackling popping noise every time I spoke. Is there something wrong with the headset or did I just set it up wrong? Any advice is appreciated!

This is a wireless carrier issue. The fact that the speaker & microphone work properly for other apps is a great indicator that your device is fine.
Contact your wireless carrier about your call quality issue.

Mid 2010 iMac and Gaming Headsets.

Hello there.
I'm looking to replace my current headset with something else and I'm running into a little confusion. I've picked out the SteelSeries Siberia v2 Full-Size Gaming Headset, but now I'm not entirely sure whether or not it would work on my iMac.
Here's a link in case anyone is interested:
http://steelseries.com/us/products/audio/steelseries-siberia-v2
Anyway, I'd like to stay around a max of $70 was just curious if anyone has personally used this or if they have one that they can recommend that has really good microphone quality? Also, would there be any reason this would not work on my iMac? I've only ever used USB headsets in the past.
Thanks in advance.

What you are attempting is called Target Display Mode, please very carefully read Apple's FAQ about the subject. Your 2010 iMac may be able to work with your PC. The article is located at http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3924

Are u sure your are talking about database?
Why you need multiple database in one machine?
Just a note: What we called in database in sql server is called schema in Oracle.
In Oracle normally we keep only one instance in one machine (multiple also possible) and create multiple users and Schemas.

Anyone using USB gaming headset w Windows 10 and Skype?

Use of Realtek microphones built into laptops (line in or the ones on the laptop screen bezel) is broken in Skype 7.7 and Windows 10. There are tons of posts here complaining about low mic levels or mics not working at all after upgrading to Win 10 after drivers are updated. Bluetooth headsets seem to work. Maybe USB headsets do too? Anyone here using USB gaming headsets sucessfully w Skype? I'd rather find out here before rushing out to buy one ... TIAAlokePS: the problems seem to be w Skype. Other apps (like Google Hangouts, speech recognition) work w mics and Win 10 without any problems

I have about 10 laptops using a Realtek chipset that don't have issues in Windows 10. Realtek like many chipset manufacturers make tons of models. You can always run across a model or set of models that are buggy with their drivers. You have the option of trying out their latest drivers or even forcing the Microsoft High Definition drivers in Windows 10. Those solutions have solved some people's problems so I don't see how the issue is exactly created by Skype since alternate drivers work. I have tested the Xbox 360 wireless controller and headset port in Windows 10 and it didn't work properly with the whole OS without me updating to the generic drivers. Everything I've personally noticed affected the whole OS and not just Skype. I also just tested my Creative Fatality analog headset with Logitech USB adpater and the USB version of the same headset. Both worked just fine in Windows 10 and I heard myself strong and clear in the Skype echo test.
