Satellite M40x- 286 - no audio drivers installed

Bought this laptop second hand and there are no audio drivers installed.
Please help me out. laptop runs on windows xp.

Hi magorian,
I agree with PauPau. The drivers for your notebook can be downloaded on Toshiba European driver download page in *Archive*.
Furthermore make sure that SP3 is installed. It contains updates for sound drivers and a lot of security updates. If SP3 is already installed, start with sound driver installation.
If you have more questions, just post again! :)

  • Satellite 2400-S251: XP audio drivers cannot be installed

    i have a Satellite 2400-S251 and i just upgraded to Windows XP and now i have no sound.
    I looked in my device manager and i don't see drivers but i see 4 different audio codecs.
    I downloaded sound drivers from Toshiba's website (s240sndx.exe) to be exact. and it begins the installation but just when you think its almost done it just stops and says "driver not installed".
    Does anyone have a solution for me?
    Is it possible to manually place the INF files from the (s240sndx.exe) that I extracted to my C drive someplace. If yes then where?
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.

    yes i presume it was a US download. i went to the page you gave me a link for and i downloaded the audio drivers. the same drivers to be exact and i have the same problem when i try to install. "audio drivers not installed". i went into control panel (sounds and audio devices) and it says at the top "no audio device" therefor i cant even turn anything up. nothing works. also in my device manager i don't have the yellow exclamation point next to sound/audio people normally get when something is not right. the audio codecs that are there say they are working properly. if there is any other questions feel free to ask i will help any way i can.

  • Satellite L35-S2161 - OS and drivers install order needed

    I will replace the hard drive in my Satellite L35-S2161 next week. (I attempted this a couple of weeks ago but I could not get the wireless or the PowerSaver utility to work so I put the original hard drive back in, and everthing works)
    So what drivers need to be installed and in what order. Also, there is no Toshiba Value Added Package listed in the Toshiba Support website for my L35 with Windows XP. So do I need the Toshiba Value Added Package (TVAP), if so where can I find it? I opened my Toshiba Restore Disk and folder COMPS1 contains all the drivers and utilities that I need. But there is no Toshiba Value Added Package (TVAP).
    The only thing I can find in the restore disk is a folder named "Toshiba Utilities 1" and the Notepad in that folder says "+This package is for the Toshiba Utilities. It includes Hardware Setup and Power Save features, which can help you to customize your computer's hardware settings+.", Is this the Toshiba Value Added Package??
    Yes I can use the restore disk, but I would like to use my retail XP Pro instead. So if anyone can help with the *correct driver/ utility install order*, it will be greatly appreciated
    Thanks for any help you can provide.

    Hi
    As Im not mistaken, the Satellite L35-S2161 belongs to the Toshiba US series. All the drivers should be placed on the Toshiba US driver page.
    The Value Added Package is not created and designed for Win XP. Its only for Vista and Win 7!
    Using Win XP you need to install the Toshiba Power Saver Utility for Windows XP (v7.03.07Q; 08-25-2006; 6M) in order to get the power saver installed.
    Regarding the WLan:
    In my opinion you have not installed the right driver.
    There are two different possible WLan cards; WLan or Intel you will need to install the WLan driver which is compatible with Wlan card.

  • Sometimes Audio Othertimes No Drivers Installed? Model :F765EA

    Hello, on my compaq laptop model f765ea when i boot the laptop up some times the little speaker in the bottom right of the screen has a cross thro it saying there is no audio drivers installed i have tried reinstallingbut this does not work?

    Hello Fernando,
    First you might keep windows update regularly to obtain the latest driver for your device. Note: Drivers on the Windows Update site are directly provided by hardware manufacturers. Microsoft tests drivers in various environments before they are published; however, we cannot guarantee all drivers will work on all hardware platforms as there are too many different models, although their hardware ID are the same as the standard version. In some cases, due to hardware modifications by different manufacturers, the driver updates may cause some error.
    Meanwhile, please understand that Windows 7 is a new operating system and whole driverstore has been reprogrammed; you might wait for another period of time till the retail version is released and push the vendor company to upgrade their device driver. Thanks for your time and understanding!
    For more details, please look at the first Sticky thread at the top of this forum.
    What can I do if my hardware does not work?
    This will give you some guidelines.
    Good Luck!

  • Can I install Intel graphic driver on Satellite M40X-119?

    Dear All, I have Satellite M40X-119 with Mobile Intel® 915GM/GMS, 910GML Express Chipset Family for the graphics card. I found an update on Intel web site for the driver, but it was written that "This is not to be used if the system has a third party graphics card", what does that means?
    Can I install the driver for my Toshiba Laptop or not.
    Thanx in Advance

    Hi Mahmood
    In my knowledge Toshiba recommend using only the Toshiba graphic drivers and if you want to use drivers from another manufacture so you can do it at your own risk.
    Some people have suggested that the Toshiba graphic drivers are a little bit modified because of the card overheating. You know, if the notebook cooling modules get a performance limit the graphic card driver decreases the card performance to reduce the temperature.
    I think the Intel original driver does not support such feature and therefore its advisable to use the Toshiba drivers.

  • MSI 785GM-E51 can't install audio drivers

    Hey, I would be grateful if you could help me with this problem.
    When I try to install the audio drivers of this mobo(785GM-E51), Windows 7 can't find them. It offers me another set of drivers - that of VIA's, but it should be Realtek's. Normally it wouldn't be a problem, but I have a an issue with front panel microphone jack(it's not working), so I want to install the proper drivers. I tried disabling auto-installing option of Windows 7, and then install the drivers that MSI offers officially , but still the computer acts as if I didn't install anything.
    EDIT: It seems that I have a different motherboard - in the document I have(about the parts of PC), it says that the computer has MSI 785GM-E51, but now that I checked the informationa about motherboard in the Windows itself, it appaars that ASrock M3A770DE is in the case. So I guess the fact that I can't install the MSI's drivers is because of different mobo. I have no idea how  this could've  happened.

    >>Posting Guide<<
    Why don't you open up a case and read the model? Is the computer secured with some sort of sticker that voids warranty if opened?

  • Satellite L875D-S7230 Sound problems / drivers won't install

    I've run a PC tech support service for over 10 years so I've tried all the standard fixes to no avail.
    Main problem was after I started using my laptop with an HDMI cable to a projector -- the audio and video worked fine via HDMI, but when I disconnected the HDMI cable the laptop had no audio, and had a red x on the audio symbol in the system tray. Device manager only showed AMD High Definition Audio Device.  Under Playback devices via the Sound icon (yes Disabled and Disconnected Devices are both checked) it only shows the AMD High Def device.  When I reconnect the HDMI, the audio works fine.  Once I thought that not properly "ejecting" the HDMI cable could be the problem, so I used Windows + P to show the Projector menu and selected Computer Only to disconnect the HDMI and then removed the cable and then the laptop audio worked, but that happened several weeks ago, and now after using HDMI again, it's back to no audio.  I've reinstalled  the HDMI audio, but in trying to reinstall the Realtek Audio Drivers shown on the Support page for my model, they won't install - they extract and then when I click to install, the install stops with no error warning, etc. The same with the AMD Display driver (which is supposed to contain the chipset drivers).    I've been through this two hours troubleshooting process twice over the past 6 months and I am done.  Any suggestions are appreciated.  Here's the support page:

    Hello , Welcome to the HP Forums, and thanks for posting! I understand you are having some issues re-installing the software for your HP LaserJet Pro M177fw Printer. I'd like to help you with this. First, I would recommend checking your programs to make sure there isn't anything listed for the LaserJet that wasn't uninstalled: Swipe inwards from the right hand side of the desktop (or press Win key + C on the keyboard). The charms bar will pop up on the right hand side of the screen.Select Settings, then Control Panel.Select Programs, then Uninstall a program.Check the list for any software indicating the printer model (select the software and click uninstall if necessary).You'll also want to make sure you have removed all instances of the printer from your devices and printers folder: Follow steps 1 and 2 above to open the Control Panel.Under Hardware and Sound, select Devices and Printers.If you see any icons for your printer, right click and select delete (or remove device).Now let's do a cleanboot of your computer (to make sure another program that is running is not interfering with your installation). You can find the steps to perform a clean boot in this Microsoft document - How to perform a clean boot in Windows Once all of this is complete, run the software install again. Please respond to let me know if we have resolved the issue!Good luck.

  • Z60T Audio drivers won't install.

    I have spent at least 10 hours on this problem, searched the net, searched forums, re-installed Windows a second time after formatting a second time, to no avail.  I have no sound, and Device Manager says the following Drivers are not installed:
    Audio Device on High Definition Audio Bus
    Biometric Coprocessor
    Unknown Device
    I don't care about Unknown and Biometric Coprocessor, I think they are fingerprint reader related.  
    But I DO care about having sound, and I'm about to lose my ever loving mind on this.
    Here's what happened:
    We bought this laptop used on Craigslist.  I formatted the hard drive, including the ThinkVantage partition, and installed XP Professional SP2.  I went to the IBM site to download drivers, and that's when all this heppened.  
    I installed the Q888111 patch before installing the drivers. 
    When I installed the drivers, the Soundmax screen came up, and then just sat there, nothing more happened. 
    I then had to force a reboot, and Soundmax showed up in Programs, but when I tried to play a file in WMP 11, it said there was no audio device installed.
    Soundmax showed up in Add/Remove programs, but would not respond to being removed so I could try to reinstall.  I had to manually remove it and run RegCleaner to get rid of it.
    I'm beginning to think my sound device is broken...I have NEVER had this much trouble with a  driver before.
    Another symptom is constant freeze up.  I know I need more RAM, but 512 should be enough to at least run installation.
    Anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks in advance,

  • I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit)...my headphones are not working. I can't find the 3.5mm jack that apple suggests using. I have tried installing/unistalling several different audio drivers. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

    I recently installed vista to my mac (32bit). My headphones are not working on it. I could not find the "3.5mm jack" that apple suggests to "solve" this issue. And I have tried installing/uninstalling audio drivers. Can anyone help?

    you don't need several drivers, you just need the audio driver for your Mac, which you didn't list, but would be Cirrus or RealTek.
    Along with uninstalling programs, go to Dev Manager and uninstall driver, or even rollback driver.
    some people have trouble installing or finding driver that will install.

  • Garage band wont work, need to install midi or audio drivers?

    tried backing up my comp to install OSX leopard but failed. now garage band wont work! I keep getting this message...also want to know if its possible to upgrade to osx leopard with a 4th gen macbook that runs osx 10.4.11
    *garageband has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party midi or audio drivers.*
    Be sure to install the latest drivers for all audio and MIDI equipment connected to your computer. For instructions on removing older drivers, consult the manufacturers' documentation.

    Im having the same problem, I upgraded my IMAC and was using tiger and I upgraded it to MAC 10.5.7, now GarageBand wont work saying my midi and audio drivers arent correct. My Reason 4.0 wont start either saying the same thing failed to open the midi library. My Protools works fine but I dont know how to update the audio and midi drivers that it matches the software I uploaded. I also went to the audio midi set up and it read, Audio MIDI Setup was unable to launch the MIDI Server. This means that you will be unable to view or edit your MIDI configurations.
    Improperly written MIDI drivers can prevent the MIDI Server from launching successfully. If you have recently installed a new MIDI driver, try uninstalling it and then relaunching Audio MIDI Setup. If Audio MIDI Setup works correctly after that, then please contact the driver's manufacturer for further support.

  • How to install Audio drivers???

  • A few simple tips and questions. Neo2 system XP re-install, which audio drivers?

    My questions:
    I'm re-installing my XP Pro system because I have decided I don't want to go with a 2GB primary partition as my first partition. Here are my questions.
    1) Should I update from 1.4 to BIOS 1.5 ?
    2) Which audio drivers should I use? nVidia Driver package 4.57? Or the Realtek ALCXXX_73 from nVidia website? Last time I actually accidentally installed the 4.60 audio MCP driver from the nForce 4 standalone package 6.39, but alas the sound was fine. (perhaps a little strange seeing as how my Neo2 is nForce3 and the 4.60 was from the nForce4 package.
    Which audio drivers should I install?
    3) What is nVidia nTune, what can I do with it and should I bother with it?
    4) Which Catalyst driver should I install? The 29.7 MB driver with Catalyst Control Center or the 23.1 MB driver with Control Panel. Whats the difference and should I care?
    I'll be using MSI update, keeping the windows IDE drivers, I may use the "speedfan" program but no digicell and no corecenter.
    thanx,
    My tips, See below:
    0) Do your first install with a minimum of hardware installed (add your PCI cards later)
    1) Research here for the proper BIOS settings for stable first boot and system install.
    -Disable Agressive Timings in BIOS
    -Turn Off NV/ATI Speedup in hidden BIOS
    2) Install XP and SP2
    3) install video drivers
    4) Install nVidia UDP 5.10 (preferably without audio) and don't install the nVidia IDE drivers, just keep the XP drivers. (Use the XP windows IDE drivers) I used the nVidia LAN and it worked fine.
    5) Install Zone Alarm (or your prefered software firewall) and then hook up LAN, preferably behind a router
    6) Windows update once you have internet working
    7) Install AMD Athlon 64 processor driverv1.1.0.18
    8) Install audio drivers

    Thanx 10-4 on that one. I edited my system install to reflect your idea by inserting Zone Alarm install BEFORE connecting to the internet. As an aside, I have a router which our PC's are connected to, so I'm reasonably safe for a few minutes
    Also, I won't really be installing the ATI Catalyst drivers now, as I'm just using a Gforce2 GTS 32MB AGP for now and XP Pro installs perfectly adequate drivers. When I get my card back from ATI I'll install the Catalyst drivers then. I'd still like some advice on which driver to install when I do though
    Anyone have any other tips in regards to my questions?

    I noticed this is your first post, a comprehensive post just for asking XP drivers.
    Please read XP downgrade guide, part 2, here
    Your model, somehow forgot to be listed in part 2, but in general, part 2 should work for your model.
    Read the guide so that you knew the advantages/disadvantages installing XP for your model.
    About your request, try the following drivers
    1.For Intel 965 Express Chipset Family, Here
    2.Conexant High-Definition SmartAudio 221 Driver
    Driver modded by silver here
    Unzip to a folder..use Device Manager,right click "Audio Device on HD",choose Update driver,
    No to connect,
    Install from a list or specific location,
    Select Don't Search, I will choose the driver to install,
    For the Hardware Type select 'Show All Devices'
    Remove the check from "Show Compatible Hardware" and click on "Have Disk".
    Next...browse to the unzipped folder and choose the "WiSVHe5.inf".
    Ignore XP when it complains.
    Reboot.
    Please post again If you found the mic and external speaker are not working perfectly.
