Satellite L675 has tinny sound

Sound problem on Toshiba Satellite L675
I purchased a Toshiba Satellite L675 laptop, running Windows 7-64 bit, and noticed that when I play music, videos, etc, it sounds like there is no bass - sound is very tinny.. I have tried updating both the Intel & Audiotek audio drivers, from Microsoft and Toshiba, but the sound remains the same. Both driver updates said I had the most current drivers; plus the hardware check said the cards are working properly. And when testing via the hardware check it sounds absolutely NORMAL!!! However, when playing music, vids, etc. the sound stays the same whether playing via internal speakers, external speakers, and/or ear pods. I have even tried playing from the DVD/CD drive, however - and again - the sound remains the same.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Fast Ed
Additional comments ... when running sounds (eg. notification sounds, like the "pulling your fingers down a keyboard") the sound is PERFECT!!! why when playing music it doesn't get a crisp, clear sound. Instead it sounds almost mono, with no bass, and down a tunnel.

Please include your full model number when posting problems on the forums. It can be found on the bottom of your laptop. "L675" is only partial.
Does this happen in multiple programs or are you using the same media player for all the tests? Try using alternate programs to determine whether or not the application is causing the problem.
Right-click on the speaker icon in the notification area and select "Playback devices." Selct your speakers and click "Properties." Under the "Enhancements" tab, uncheck everything if anything is checked. If everything is already unchecked, try using the equalizer to see if you can correct the audio.

Satellite C55-A-1N1 - lack of bass, tinny sound

Just got my new Toshiba laptop.
Anyone know if there is a fix to the sound issues with this model.
It has been widely reported this model suffers from lack of bass/ tinny sound but I have not yet found a solution.
I think DTS has something to do with it but not 100% sure,
Could it be something to do with the driver?

In the past some notebook owners have reported about the same issue with sound on several Toshiba notebooks although the fact that these notebooks and your Satellite C55-A have small standard stereo speakers only. Such speakers cannot offer some high quality sound like notebooks with build in harman/kardon speakers.
So there is nothing to fix or change. All you can do is to change sound settings on equaliser for player that you use. For better sound you can use either headphones or external speakers.
Sorry but there is not much you can do about it.

Terrible, tinny sound from headphone jack. Satellite

I've looked at all the settings I could find, but the sound from iTunes, out the headphone jack, to a small stereo is horribly tinny. I can plug the exact same wire into my phone which has great sound, so it's sth about the sound card ,not the rest of my system. I am not talking about the speakers

Hello JohnBoarkman,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you hear no sound from your accessory when you connect to your headphone jack. My first troubleshooting suggestion for this situation would be resetting the NVRAM on your Mac. Please use the instructions in the attached article to complete this process and let me know if the issue continues.

Iphone 5 earpiece has low, tinny sound now

Phone is nearly 2 years old. just updated to iOS 8.0.2 and now the earpiece volume is very low and "tinny" sounding. Cannot figure any way that I can fix easily...

Hey partick, Did you get it sorted out in the end, Im also from the UK and the one plan beats the other networks hands down however im also getting this audio static sound during a call. I have had the phone replaced 3 times and all do it until i changed to 02 and then it stopped. So its the three network thats causing the interference.
Does anyone know of any workarounds as this is the only issue from a near perfect phone

Satellite L675 is locked in a loop of "configuring system"

I have a Satellite L675 pre-loaded with Windows7 64-bit, because it was very slow so I decided to recovere it to the factory default out-of-box.
But it has now been locked in a loop of "configuring system" with several reboots for more than an hour - does that make any sense?
Regards,

Hello
The recovery process takes a very long time and your notebook will restart several times during this process. A lot of drivers and tools will be installed so its not unusual.
In my opinion you should wait a little bit longer until recovery installation finished successfully. Just relax during this time with newspaper and coffee ;)

Satellite P100-426 - What sound driver I need for Windows 7 64bit?

Hello,
I have installed Windows 7 64bit to my P100-426. It was no problem but I can't foud a driver for the sound chip and I also don't know wich sound chip is on board.

Hey,
The problem is hat neither for Windows Vista 64bit or Windows 7 64bit are drivers available for your notebook model. I have checked this on official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
According the Toshiba page your notebook has Conexant sound chip
But Conexant doesnt provide drivers directly so you have to check the Toshiba website again
I found out that Satellite P300 has also Conexant sound card and there is a driver for Windows 7 64bit available. In my opinion you should try the sound driver from Satellite P300. Theoretically this should work. ;)

Satellite P100-429 - No sound after Windows 7 installation

I have a Satellite P100-429 Purchased Nov 2006.
I have just upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and Office Pro Plus. All works well but there is no sound if I try to play a CD. I have done usual checks for Mute etc. but no Joy. In device manager a yellow triangle with exclamation mark within is against my sound device. C
an I download a new driver to solve problem or is it more complicated than that? Than you

Hello
For me it sounds like that you didnt install the sound driver for sound card
According the Toshiba website there is no 64bit sound driver available for Satellite P100 but I noticed that Satellite P300 supports Windows 7 64bit and has Conexant sound card too. Maybe this driver is working for you too.
Just search for Satellite P300 drivers and test the sound driver It should work! :)

TS2354 Tinny sound in Nano 5

I suddenly got very tinny sound in car radio from Nano 5, only use it in car and always worked before. I reset twice and nothing changed. I had it attached to my laptop before the tinny sound, but no real idea of why it started this sound. Checked other posts and no real help there either.

This has nothing to do with MacBook Pro (so, it should have better been posted here), but first you should check the Equalizer settings in the Nano. Any funky settings there?

Tinny sound emitted from onboard speakers

Greetings Experts: the internal speakers on my dv6000 has changed to a very low volume-tinny sound. Troublshooting only leads me to the online forums. It sounds as tho the bass disappeared.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Well, after waiting a couple of hours for a reply, I went back into help and support and was able to resolve the sound issue by following the HP instruction for no audio with windows 7.
Start
Type in Sound
Sound tab
properties
There I found the bass was set at zero. Made the adjustments and now it's fine. How did it happen? Don't have any idea.

Tinny sound coming from hardware

Just recently my 2011 MBP has been randomly producing a quiet tinny sound along the lines of *tink*. It does it periodically and it's not very loud but it is definitely something new. The sound is not coming out of the speakers and volume settings have no affect on its occurrence.
Any ideas?

Hi G,
Check out the sounds in the following links:

It could also be the Sudden Motion Sensor.

My iPod touch has no sound when I play music or use the iPod touch at all. Yes, the volume in the "sounds" is all the way up. It has not been dropped or gotten wet. I turned it off and on. now what?

My ipod touch (4th generation) has no sound. I have turned it off and on.....I have the volume up in the "sounds" area. When I push the side volume button, there is no image that appears in the screen that shows that I am either raising or lowering the volume. Do I need to just rest the ipod touch as a new device? Or is there someting else I can try?

And, now when I do press the side volume buttons, the image appears but with the words' "sound effects." what does that mean?

My 4s has no sound on most outgoing calls. i constantly have to turn my phone off and on more than once a day to get it to work. how can i get this fixed?

My 4s has no sound on most of the outgoing calls i make. It will ring the other phone I am calling but I cannot hear it nor can they hear me when they answer. Its just dead air but my phone timer is in use. How can this be corrected?

It's very possible that you have stuff running in the background that you don't even realize you have running. For example the default is for all notifications to be on and you usually need few to none of them.
That said, while an iPad can run warm, too hot to handle isn't right. ALso you should get about 10 hours....depending on what you're doing of course. If you're doing processor intensive stuff, like gaming and videos it can drain faster and generate more heat.
I would say if you have an apple store near by, make an appointment and have them check it out. If the issue is due to what they determine to be manufacturer's defects then it could fall under the warranty. But that's up to the store to determine.

My iPod touch has no sound from music and videos help please

- The restore from backup

My iphone 5 has no sound

My iphone no longer has any sound at all through the speakers or the headphone. I can't hear ring tones, any tones, music, videos, use of the speaker phone during phone calls, nothing. This phone is only 2 months old and I just did a software upgrade and that didn't help.

i have a macbook so sometimes this happens to it as well. what i found to help a lot is if you stick a sewing needle into the headphone jack. similar to the macbook, i feel like the connection thinks it's still plugged into something (notice that when you're adjusting the volume it says volume (headphones) not just ringer). unlocked, and while adjusting the volume, probe around with a needle, pushing it as close to the center all the way in. you may have to do this a few times. the first time i did it it worked, but went back in a few seconds. i did it again and it worked!
no need to drive to apple!
