Satellite L655-S5157 - audio on MAX is barely audible

I've checked all the volumes, main control, all other controls, and volume on the apps I'm using. I've also read other posts on the subject, and no, this model does not have a physical audio dial (unless it's hiding under a plastic cover I can't identify.) I also have the latest Conexant driver (checked that through Device Manager) As far as I can tell, the sound on this laptop just stinks. This cannot be as good as it gets.

I found the SmartAudio settings - It's ok now but only by turning up the equalizer to full on all ten settings. Is that the "answer"?

Satellite L655-S5117 Audio Issue

Hello, I just completed a system restore on a Toshiba Satellite L655-S5117, and I have no audio via the main speakers, however audio works fine via a pair of headphones. I am running windows 7 Home Premium. What do I need to do to get audio working via the main speakers?

Try reinstalling the latest sound driver:

Satellite L655 S5107 Audio stutters and it also crashes

I'm having similar problems like a lot of people I think, where my laptop has audio stutters, but mines also freezes and then crashes. This happens when I'm listening to music or watching videos. I've tried updating drivers and disabling them and enabling again, but the problem still persists. I don't know what else to do, if anyone knows I would really appreciate the help, thank you.

You might want to share that information on the appropriate forum.

Toshiba Satellite L655-S51117 VGA Port Question

I have a Toshiba Satellite L655-S51117 with an Intel Graphics HD Video Card. There is no HDMI port on the laptop but I wanted to purchase a VGA to HDMI cable to connect to my LCD TV but it says the Video Card must support digital signal ouput through the VGA port. Does this particular card support digital signal output? I just want to be sure before I purchase go ahead and purchase the cable.
Thanks for your help!

I Got a laptop Satellite L655 for Xmas and I want to use it for my karaoke but I can't get it to work. I bought a new 15 pin to the RED, YELLOW and WHITE and S-Video cord but it won't work. My Old Laptop had A S-Video on the back and it worked fine. So how do I get this Laptop hooked up to my TV? It's an older TV but it has the red,yellow, white, and the S-video hook ups. Please any help on this? Yelsi

Audio would be stereo taken from the headphone port via a seperate cable to the converter box. It doesn't look like that machine has digital audio out, so no surround or whatever is possible.

Satellite L655 - Unable to download drivers

I'm trying desperately to reinstall a Satellite L655 and getting snookered in all directions.
1. I created recovery disks from the installation on the old, failing hard drive. When I install from these (after watching paint dry for about an hour) it reboots and then fails on first run - "windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware". Forum suggestions about this error did not help.
2. The support partners in South Africa do not have copies of the factory recovery disks. They tell me they download drivers ad hoc from the support site.
3. I tried to clone the old disk (Windows is running on it, after all) but CloneZilla barfed on the bad sectors.
4. I installed Windows from a Microsoft OEM install disk image. It runs, but obviously requires hardware drivers. So I downloaded most of those I need, like LAN card, Intel Chipset, and Sound card. But the WLAN and Display drivers just won't download - these are the largest files (60 MB & 123 MB respectively) and the downloads fail before completion. WELL before completion. I tried several times, using up a significant amount of my bandwidth allocation for the month (we have capped access here in Darkest Africa!)
I tried the downloads from another site I have remote access to, thinking maybe there was something wrong with my broadband - and got the same exact issue. The remote site has Internet throughput speeds of around 6 Mb/s - surely enough for a 120 MB file transfer? Apparently not.
I have tried these downloads from before lunch time, through the afternoon and night and it's now after midnight, all with the same results (I am on a time zone that is right in the middle of the Euro zones).
Toshiba's website does not support download resuming, and there are no mirror sites. What in the blue blazes is a person supposed to do?
*UPDATE*
the 60 MB WLAN driver download to remote site succeeded on the second try. The 120 MB display adaptor driver failed even sooner on second try. I don't see much point in trying again, do you?

Hello Chris
Clean OS installation is very simply and I have done it in the past many times. If your Internet connection is stabile all necessary drivers, tools and utilities can be downloaded from Toshiba download page - http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
Ive checked it and your Satellite model is listed there and supported for Win7 64bit.
WLAN driver you can find on Toshiba WLAN portal - http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/wlan/
As I already wrote on Toshiba download page you can find all drivers, tools and utilities. The same stuff is included in original Toshiba recovery image. Maybe you don't need some of them but I recommend you to install whole package.
Here is also install order that will help you:
Win7 64bit
TOSHIBA Assist
Synaptics Touch Pad Driver
Realtek Card Reader
TOSHIBA HW Setup Utility
TOSHIBA Supervisor Password Utility
TOSHIBA Web Camera Application
TOSHIBA HDD_SSD Alert
TOSHIBA Disc Creator
Intel Chipset SW Installation Utility
Intel Management Engine Interface
Display Driver
Intel Turbo Boost Technology Driver
Intel Rapid Storage Technology Driver
Conexant Audio Driver
TOSHIBA Value Added Package
Atheros LAN Driver
TOSHIBA Software Modem
Conexant Modem Driver
Bluetooth Stack for Windows by Toshiba
Wireless LAN Driver
ConfigFree
My advice for you: download all stuff at first and save it on USB stick. After doing this reinstall Windows again and start to install listed stuff following this installation order.
One more thing: according notebook specification your machine should have Realtec WLAN card inside.
If you have more questions you are welcome.

Satellite L655-S5150 Mic problem.

Waiting for a response - ray
When I try to record video / sound with my lap, the first pieces of sound comes clear but after 5 seconds or so, the sound goes down, when I want to record myself playing guitar, I can only hear the first 10 seconds, after that the mic "adapts" to the sound or something and lowers itself down, so the sound of the recording starts going down until it mutes and only lets very hard sounds get in the recording.
Sorry for my English,

Satellite L655-S5150

Reinstalling your Toshiba supplied sound driver is a good place to start and should not hurt anything. Download this file to your desktop and double click to install it.
Conexant Audio Driver(v4.119.0.60)
But, the proper method is really going to depend on the sound recording software you are using. What software are you using to record yourself playing guitar? Are you only recording through a microphone? Are you using the computer's built-in microphone?

Problem with sound on my new Satellite L655-1FO

Hello
I bought a new Toshiba Satellite L655-1FO before 5 days , I install all driver on XP an my sound work ok , but today I connect my headphone and I didnt hear sound like music just some scratch sound and when I disconnect my headphones , there was no more sound from my PC .
I restarted but the problem stay. Whats happen with my pc , is it broken?
I need to know because I have 7 days to back it and get new or to contact with service?
Thanks

You must understand that nobody here can say for sure if something is broken or not. We an just speculate what the problem can be.
I recommend you to install WXP one more time to see if this issue will be fixed. If not contact your local dealer and ask for replacement.
In the headphones port there is small switch that disable internal speakers when external speakers are connected. Maybe this switch stuck somehow. Who knows?

How to switch off the LCD on Satellite L655-1JV?

Hello!
I have a *Toshiba Satellite L655-1jJV*, and I would like to know how can I *switch the LCD off*. I've tried to use the F5 key, but it doesn't give me the option to change (always the LCD on unless I connect an external monitor .
Of course, I mean, switch the lcd off while, for example, I got the monitor up, and I'm listening to music...
I'm really looking for the answer!

In users manuals document is clearly described when you should use FN+F5 key combination and it has nothing to do with switching LCD off.
If you dont need display and it should be OFF while you are listening music please change display settings in power options. In power settings there is option Turn off the display. Set it to 1 minute and everything will be OK.

Toshiba Satellite L655-S5146 new hard drive woes

Hello all,
Im at my wits end and i was praying this community could help me. the factory hard drive of my laptop has died, so i purchased a cheap replacement, not nearly as large but it will serve my needs. when i place the new drive into the laptop it dosent boot at all. Ive tried to use Diskpart on my desktop and then drop the 2.5 into the laptop, but that dosent work. The drive is good, i am able to see it when i connect it to my desktop, so thats not the issue. I need to know if i am doing anything worng or if there is some way to get my lap to be kind enough to accept this new hard drive. All help is welcome and appre

telling me that windows couldnt make the system partition
Could be the drive doesn't have a digital signature. Connect it via USB to another machine and initialize the drive.

Downloads here.
Lots of drivers and utilities to install. And the order matters. Easiest 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. 71 of the User's Guide.

Laptop L655-S5157 Does Not Start Up & Run.......

My Laptop L655-S5157 Does Not Start Up & Run Longer Than 1-3 Mins Upon Selecting The Start Button.
After It Starts & Looks Like It's Going To Run Normal, It Just Turns Right OFF.
I Can't Send Any Attachments Because The Only Way I Can Communicate Is Running The LT In The "SAFE MODE".
I've Taken Pics Of It Running & Trying To Repair Itself On My iPhone.
I've Also Ran "Startup Repair" Program, But All It Says In The End, Is It Can't "Repair This Computer Automatically".
It Then Says To Send The Problem Details To "Microsoft Solutions", I Comply & Send The Information To Them.
I Know Enough About Laptops/Computers To Be DANGEROUS...
I Really Dont Understand What To Do In The "Safe Mode", Except That It's Safe & Runs Only The Essentials.

It Started NOT Running In The Normal mode The Day That Chuck Noll Passed Legendary Football Coach Ot The Pittsburg Steelers On 14 Jun 2014.

Problem with updating bios toshiba satellite l655-s5144

Hello first of all having a good day, four months ago a problem with my laptop toshiba satellite l655-5144 I have something crazy ,happens that when starting Windows 7/8 freezes there and I can not access windows, I thought it was an error of hdd, but I think I'm surprised that it is not, since changing the hdd and still gives the same problem of being paralyzed in Home windows, all this began to update the BIOS to version 2.8 that turned out to be the operating profit that was for windows 8, not sure if this is due to the problem but I've tested the ram, hdd, cpu, etc and everything about the hardware works well and gives no problems, I think that the problem was caused by updating the BIOS to version 2.8, my question is whether you can return to the factory version was 2.2, or at least the previous version to 2.8 which was the one I worked thanks for your answers and spend time helping me, is the agradesco much.
And sorry for my bad English.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello and thank you for coming to see the problem I had with my laptop, that seems to fix the problem so far, I hope q not refreeze operating system again, and I could restore the BIOS to version in which was when purchased.
If anyone has the same problem as I leave then follow these steps:
1.Find BIOS version with which acquired the laptop
2. Use of mnetodo booted by CD.
3. Insert the CD from the boot.
4. Upon resumption of the program ran hidden PC (that I saw no message)
5. After restart, windows restart again and enter the bios to see if it had changed the version of this and it turned out was successful.
Well I hope this problem the laptop again, and thank you for deigning to read at least my problem.

Satellite L655-S5107 - No battery detected after Win 8.1 installation

I install windows 8.1 on my Toshiba Satellite L655-S5107, battery with an x ??appears in the description says "no battery is detected".
Why is this happening? Do I need a driver or software?

Hi
Possible solution:
Go to device manager, right click and uninstall "microsoft compliant ac adapter"
Then go to action and scan for new hardware.
Now the battery should be found.
Sometimes an additional reboot would be neccessary.

Computer freezes/hangs - Satellite L655

I have a Satellite L655 AMD Phenom(tm)quad core processor II P960. 64-bit. 4 gb ram. 1.80GHz (Windows 7)
..about 4 years old now..
I shouldve made this aware way back when it started because it wouldve made it a hell of a lot easier.
For about a year or more now everytime i log and get on the internet, play games, use microsoft word, ANYTHING. My connections starts to "Hang" (not responding) and turn up a white screen for about 5 minutes. this happens about 5-10 times an hour, literally. not even joking. about every 5-10 minutes this happens and it annoys me so much. I've ran many computer scans, gotten rid of malware/adware, boosted performance speed, run ccleaner and defraged it. always automatically install windows updates. EVERYTHING. the problem still isnt solved. I use chrome as my current internet browser and i frequently delete the history, cache, and cookies. Even as im typing this my browser started to hang, for a stunning 8 minutes! Im on the brink of throwing my laptop out the window.
I believe it may be a program i have installed a while back that i dont remember which, i dont know. maybe something like a third party add on from a program thats doing this but i just want it resolved.
THANKS!

Tristen,
Please provide the full model number of your computer. It is printed on the bottom.
You can try to restore your computer to an early restore point and see if you can restore your computer to a time before the problem began. If this doesn't work, the best way would be to run in safe mode and see if you can reproduce the white screen. If you can't, than it is likely being caused by conflict from some program that you have installed previously. You could try uninstalling things one at a time, or just restore your computer back to out-of-box state and start all over.
I like to do a restore to out-of-box about once a year to keep clutter from building up on my computer. Of course I save everything first (personal files, bookmarks, etc.) so I don't have to do that all over again.

Satellite L655-1EM - why does LED flash all the time?

I bought a Toshiba Satellite L655-1EM this afternoon, and since I've had it on one of the LEDs won't stop flashing.
It's the one next to a short fat cylinder.
Any help would be much appreciated, I even turned everything off and it still flashed!
My old laptop didn't do this.
The LED is really bright so it's very noticeable, and it even flashes in hibernate mode!

Every time when some info must be read from HDD the LED will blink and show HDD activity.
I cannot understand why do you wondering when HDD blinks. It is logic that from time to time something will be read or written on HDD, even if you dont do anything.
Do you know how many background processes run on your notebook?
Please dont make big thing with this. It is nothing unusual and quite normal.
