Satellite P500-127: microphone or sound doesn't work properly using skype

Hi Toshiba team,
Recently bought a new notebook.
However the microphone or sound driver (connexant pebble high definition ) doesn't work properly when using skype. Also read about this matter in various forums such as the skype forum.
People encountered similar problems such as:
We can usually talk for a bit longer than 20 seconds, however the call will drop at a random time between 1 and 15 minutes. The strange part is that sometimes the quality of the call is good, but more than often my friend can only hear *half of what I am saying* while I usually do not have a problem hearing what has been said. The video will work so my friend can see me talking but can simply not really hear what I am saying.
Before the drop the call will usually freeze for a couple of seconds and then skype sometimes crashes. We have tried talking together without the video, however the problem remains.
I also found a suggestion by the toshiba service, just to simply increase the volume under control panel etc, but it doesn't work either..
Can you please help me on this one?
Cannot use skype at all as it just to annoying for everyone I talk to.. Quality is just to poor!!
Many many thanks

Hi
Every day I use Skype with the internal webcam, microphone and speakers but I didnt have any problems as yet.
In your case I would try updating the drivers. Therefore download the latest sound and webcam driver (microphone is a part of webcam). Both you can get here:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
If your friend cant hear you, check also the settings for internal microphone. I have activated microphone boost in Windows sound settings so I could improve the microphone quality.
By the way: Do you use the latest version of Skype? With older Skype version I had also some problems on Windows 7. As far as I know only newest version is fully Windows 7 compatible.

Satellite A300-24z - VAP - buttons illumination doesn't work properly

Sorry about my English.
I have notebook Satellite A300-24z, Model number PSAG8E and Vista 32 bit.
I try to setup this driver and keys up the numbers are not having light.
I try to do this 3 times and still is not working.
Can somebody help me?

To be honest I don't know what do you mean with format the windows with the folder of drivres by mistake.
Can you use these buttons? Do they work?
Do you have problem with illumination only?
Open Toshiba Assist (shortcut is on desktop) and go to optimize. I think there you can find option to start Toshiba hardware settings. if I am remembering well there is tab called illumination or so. Check if this option is enabled or disabled there.
Check also BIOS settings. In advanced option you can also find settings for ON/OFF illumination.

Satellite Pro L20 doesn't work properly with USB Fast Track audio i.f.

Hello!
I have used my Fast Track USB on new Toshiba Satellite L40 and I never had problems with it. I could set low latency and I did few songs with it.
Yesterday I bought another notebook, thinking of home recording studio. It's used Toshiba Satellite Pro L20. It doesn't work properly with my interface. When I listen music on Winamp or do anything on Fruity Loops I hear loud clicks, pops, noises. They introduce samples, or they appear during playback or after a sample is stopped.
I noticed, drivers for Satellite Pro L20 are a problem. Its not supported by Toshiba anymore?! The only drivers for chipset are very old and you can download em only from Toshiba website. The chipset is ATI Xpress 200M. Its drivers are with graphic card. Recently I noticed you can download "ATI Catalyst Legacy Display Driver for Windows XP - Motherboard/IGP Drivers 9.11" and CRACK IT to make it possible to install on mobile unit such as L20. Yep its funny but its impossible to do otherwise!
things I have tried and they still not help:
# drivers replacement, original were released in 2004. I installed recent version.
# driver settings, low latency, high latency
# asio and different settings
# pluging the interface to another usb socket.
# trying what happens when I use battery and when I use adapter
# updated bios
# turned off onboard units such as wifi card, sound card
# checked IRQ list
pops still appear.
my config:
Toshiba Satellite Pro L20
Win XP Home SP3
Celeron M 1,5GHz
896Mb ram
M-Audio Fast Track USB, drivers: 6.0.2
Kind regards

Thanks for answer. I still have L40 but I try to run my homerecording on L20. The L40 is now used by whole my family. It's possible to swap them but there's a problem - L20 has Norway keyboard and I'm the only person at home who doesn't often look down while typing. In Poland, we use standard ms keyboard. I'd buy special stickers, it's about only to make special chars get back to their places.
I installed Windows on this computer end set it to best performance possible.
Since I created this thread, guys from M-Audio support tried to solve my problem - nothing helped. I think potential solutions are exhausted.

HT1657 I rented a movie and the sound doesn't work, how do I fix it?, who do I direct to for a complaint?

Hi, I rented warhorse HD, and the sound doesn't work, my itunes version is 10.6.1(7). How do I fix it or who do I direct to get my money back? Thank you

I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
Find the item that is not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the entry, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" link next to the item.
(Not entirely sure what happens after you click that link, but fingers crossed it should be relatively straightforward.)

I have just updated my software to 10.8.2 and now my sound doesn't work. Any suggestions?

I used disk permission repair to try to resolve this as well as a 'soft' restart. Still have a grayed-out mute checkbox in the sound section of system preferences.

Sound doesn't work(only in firefox). why? sound doesn't work(only in firefox). why? (adobe flash player doesn't work even thought it's installed)

sound doesn't work (only in firefox). adobe flash player doesn't work correctly, thought it's installed. can't solve the problem. i need Sound.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== don't know

What does the Adobe test page say?
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")
See also [[No sound in Firefox]] and [[Video or audio does not play]]

There are numerous reports of this issue happening on iPhones. It may be a glitch that will need a new update. Some find that a full shut-down and restart fixes that problem, but not always.

OP should first go through the wiki page of ALSA to ensure that his ALSA setup is working correctly. There aren't many sound setups that do not work under ALSA. If OP is relying on another sound setup then he should follow the appropriate wiki and tell us so.
@otto88: It would also help if you would try to explain what your intentions were. I'm assuming you merely want to have sound working and not configure some fancy setup. In that case you should just stick to a basic setup and follow the wiki step by step (don't skip any line and if you don't understand something, you figure that out or you ask people, don't just ignore it).
For instance I don't even have those /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf and /etc/modprobe.d/snd-hda-intel.conf even though I have 2 sound devices, while you seem to only have 1 sound device
otto88 wrote:cat /proc/asound/modules

So your /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf in that case is totally unnecessary, let alone that you don't even have the snd_mia module loaded so why do you even configure alsa to load it at index 1. You aren't supposed to simply copy and paste the configurations from the wiki. Those configurations are merely there to give you an idea on how to make your own configuration.
When you have ensured that your sound is been set up correctly then you can start with the most basic mplayer configuration. You keep the /etc/mplayer/example.cong configuration file totally commented out (like you have atm) and your ~/.mplayer/config should only contain
ao=alsa

Hello Kiira Doon,
The troubleshooting steps detailed below may help get your iPhone's display to function.
Toggle the ringer switch to see if the unit vibrates. If it does, it could be that iPhone is getting power, but is not displaying any image.
Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
While connected to the iPhone charger, try to reset the iPhone.
If the low-battery screen appears, charge the iPhone.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?Contact Apple Support.

Did you check the switch on the side, next to the volume controls? Is it set to turn off the sound in Settings/General/Side switch?
Can you hear sound if you change the settings for your ringtone for example?
