Satellite Pro C650 - Audio keeps cutting out
Hi Guys,
I have searched high and low for the answer to this and its driving me insane. I really hope you guys can help me out!
I have a Toshiba Satellite Pro C650 01301J laptop running Windows 7 Professional 32Bit. I try and listen to music either through spotify or simply using my library of music in Windows Media Player,
however after a while the audio cuts out. It isnt muted in mixer and the song keeps playing as if nothing has happened, except I cant hear anything.
This is fixed when I mute and unmute or turn the volume up or down using the fn keys.
When I first start up the music it will take 5 minutes or so before it happens, however once it starts it will cut out every 10 seconds or so. This gets extremely annoying and I am convinced there must be a solution.
My audio driver is Conexant CX20671 SmartAudio HD version 4.119.0.61. I have tried deleting this and reinstalling it, downloading an older driver and updating it. It tells me it is the latest driver but its still not solved the problem.
Has this happened to anyone else? Is there another driver I could try or perhaps a program that is causing it?
I would really appreciate your help on this as its driving me crazy being unable to listen to any form of music without having it cut out every 10 seconds...
Hi guys - thanks for your help and I sincerely apologise for the delay in my response!
Truthfully, I was so busy when I wrote this I forgot that it happened and all this time later I was googling solutions tot he problem again and came across this post - I thought "Wow this guy is having the EXACT same problem as me!" - Then I saw my name next to it.
Ok, responses:
Silas - The problem has happened since day 1. I tried to reinstall the value added package but no change.
MasterG - I have not muddled with my system and it has always happened so I think its a software/hardware fault... The sound works perfect through headphones though...
Neion - Sorry to hear that bud!
PauPau - Sound driver update doesnt work, headphone did work, usage of different players has no effect and havent tried system recovery as yet as it has always happened...
Still searching for an answer and, again, I apologise for not getting back to you sooner when you were trying to help me!
Thanks Guys,
Luke

Audio keeps cutting OUT !!
Hi All
I've just recently started having problems with the audio signal from my MP, all applications like iTunes and listening to streamed radio online. I'm using a 828 Mk1 firewire audio interface and the audio keeps cutting out for a 2-5 seconds frequently. I'm using the 1.4.7 motu driver, clock source is Internal. There doesn't seem to be a problem if I use the Macs internal speakers. Its been working fine since I got this machine a few months ago but all of a sudden this problem has occurred !
Anybody have any ideas to what is happening here ??
Many Thankshi MacMac,
i did reply on your other thread:
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=7189792#7189792
i had a fiddle with sample rate settings, both on teh motu itself, and in the midi utility ,and installed the 1.4.7 driver, and mine seems to be sorted as of today too.
weird, huh? -

FaceTime audio keeps cutting out after a few minutes
Every time I try to use FaceTime on my iPhone 4, the audio cuts out after 5-10 minutes or so.
Even after hanging up and calling back, there is still no audio. The picture is fine, but I can't hear anything the other party is saying. They apparently can hear me fine, so it appears to be something with the speaker. However, the speaker works fine in every other app.
I also tried using Skype, and it worked with no audio problems. So the issue is definitely isolated to FaceTime.
I do not have this problem with my iPad. It works fine. I tried showing this to a genius at the Apple store, but they can't do anything because the phone is no longer under warranty.
I tried wiping the phone clean, and setting it up as a brand new phone, and still have the same problem.
Any suggestions?Hello
To get a better handle on the problem, connect at least one computer to the router using an Ethernet cable. This can help isolate the problem further.
You can pretty much connect as many devices to the wireless side as you wish. The only problem you might encounter if you connect a large number of machines on the wireless side is lack of bandwidth. I can't imagine 5-6 machines on a wireless network would be a problem, unless one or two of them attempts a large file transfer. Even then, I would expect the wireless to be slow - not down.
What version of firmware is in your WRT160N? How long have you had your router, and has it worked properly in the past?

Audio keeps cutting out. Brand new iMac- Logic 9
4 gigs of memory. when i play a song-- or when i record it- even at larger buffer sizes-- the audio cuts out. Only for a second though-- and when i check the recording-- it seems that the audio still got recorded-- just the output mutes out for a second. memory thing maybe? i've tried playing around w/ buffer sizes. i'm only ever recording 1 track at a time. could it be b/c i'm recording to a usb hard drive?
thank youPlugging your devices to different corners of your room can cause audio problems I illustrated in my previous post. Let's summarize everything:
1. You have to have all your devices plugged in one source which means one plate or one socket (with a divider, of course) to avoid 'brrrrrrr' in your speakers (sorry, I don't remember the word for 'brrrrr')
2. Try your setup in another roon, house, or even part of your town/city to check the audio interface itself.
!!!! Something came to my mind, perhaps you can just plug the audio interface to another firewire port on your computer? Do you have anything else connected to your firewire port? Sometimes it can be a problem! Even if it's in another port (not daisy chained).! -
Airplay from phone to ATV keeps cutting out.
When using my ATV and airplay from iPhone 4s the audio keeps cutting out then will play agian. This will happen every 5-20 seconds. I am able to use airplay from my MBP without any issues. I have restarted the iPhone and ATV. I have closed all aps on the phone and tried both streaming and music apps with the same result. All items have the most recent updates. I have an airport express in my shop which there is no issue using airplay form the phone with any aiplay app. Any suggestions? Thanks.
Try changing your energy saver settings. Make sure the macbook is plugged in and change both display and computer sleep to never. When your display goes to sleep airplay will shut off. I don't watch a lot of tv on airplay from my mac, but this works for when I'm streaming radio or music. I suggest getting a cheap iPod touch (with airplay) on craigslist if you don't have an iPhone. I've seen them as low as $30. Then get the Air Video app ($3) and the Remote app (free). These two apps take care of all of my tv/movie watching needs.
If your appleTV is too far from your wireless router then you will have trouble using any of these features. Try purchasing an extra long (100') cat5 cable from monoprice.com and moving your router to a more central area of your house. You can even put a second router in your home using this cat5 and get great internet connection everywhere! -
I am using Adobe Captivate 6. For some reason my audio keeps cutting out at the end of each slide. This only happens when I publish. Any suggestions?
Thanks this actually worked. It just seems like a crazy workaround for such an expensive software. Thanks again.

Logic Pro X with OSX 10.9.2 Audio output cuts out 3-5 minutes into running software how can I fix this?
Well, first....
Are you using any 3rd party plugins in your project?
If not then my suggestion wont be the cause......
To see which plugins you have installed (Though it's only if they are being actually used in the project that would cause your issue..) you can see them via the Audio Unit Manager found under the Logic Pro X menu bar..... Logic Pro X..... Audio Unit Manager
Also, any reason you are still using 10.9.2 instead of updating to 10.9.5?
Do you get any message when the audio cuts out?
Are you only using internal audio hardware or are you using an external Audio Interface? if so, which one? -

My headphones keep cutting out
The sound on my iPod keeps cutting out - I've tried different types of headphones but still the same problem
- Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
If not under warranty Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.

External speakers keep cutting out
Using Harman Kardon sound stick USB speakers on my mac book and they keep cutting out after about 1:08 of use. It happens with all audio sources (itunes, online streaming etc.) and works immediately if I unplug and re-insert into the USB port.
On the sound settings, the "USB Sticks" stays highlighted as the source. The internal speakers do not come on when the sound stick speakers cut out, but do so when I unplug them from the USB port.
This problem just started out of the blue after years of flawless use, no software updates. Happens on both of my USB ports. Tried re-starting, didn't help.
So frustrated.I think that the manufacturer is your best source. Perhaps there is some incompatibility.....

Satellite Pro C650 - Which startup programs can I disable?
After about two weeks with a new Satellite Pro C650 that I bought for my wife, a lightweight user, she is about to throw it at me.
Everything runs slowly. Click start: wait. Open the Control Panel: wait. The wait time is in the range of 20 - 30 seconds. Internet is often slower - especially Internet Explorer, which often goes into a Not Responding state. (Google Chrome performs better although it's not great either) Steps taken so far include a defrag of the C: drive, which was 5% defragmented. I ran a troubleshooting scan off of the Control Panel and it informs me that I have loads of programs running on start-up and suggests I disable some. I had read previously that this is a problem with this Toshiba.
The question then is what to disable? I don't know what most of the programs are or what they do. I'll list the programs here and then gladly take suggestions. By the way, BitDefender was listed three times in the start-up list. I disabled two of them for what it's worth.
The only apps I downloaded were BitDefender and Adobe Acrobat. McAfee antivirus has been removed. Other laptops in the house work fine with the same wireless broadband connection. Hoping someone can help out and tell me what I can disable.
The Start-up list:
SAIICpl Application
Synaptics Pointing Device Driver
Message Center
SmartFaceVWatcher
Catalyst Control Center
Nero BackItUp
Default Manager
BitDefender 2011 (listed three times)
Adobe Acrobat
Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager
All of these Toshiba applications:
- Power Saver
- Zooming Utility
- Flash Cards
- ReelTime
- TEMPRO
- HDD SSD Alert
- Volume Regulators
- Notebook Registration
- Service Station
- Web Camera Application
Thanks.
MalahideroadHi
First of all you can find out yourself what the single applications do and what are controlled by these apps use google to get more details.
But Nero BackItUp, Adobe Acrobat, Adobe Reader and Acrobat Manager can be disabled wihotu having any problems with the notebook
TEMPRO is a Toshiba tool which scans the systems and provides info about new Toshiba driver updates
Its your own personal decision if you want to use it or not
Notebook Registration helps you to register the notebooks warranty and Service Station provides some option to optimize the notebooks performance but its nice to have but its not very important -
Satellite Pro C650 - motherboard is dead
Hi
1st post but here goes.
Owned Satellite Pro C650 for a year now and a wek ago just started smoking then went off.
I checked with my warranty & ran out on Sep 30.
Now my problem is i cannot seem to find info on the mobo that is inside.
I have not open or anything but where you put RAM chips you can see clearly a little square chip burnt.
So i would like to ask is this a common fault.
Also the model number of mobo so maybe i could get a replacement.
Think thats all
thanks for any repliesHi
> I checked with my warranty & ran out on Sep 30.
This is really a bad luck Its pity that your warranty ran out just before the motherboard died.
It sounds like an overheating issue
What to say in your case the motherboard needs to be replaced and a new part could be ordered from Toshiba ASP in your country.
But new motherboard is expensiveits one of the expensive notebook parts beside the notebooks display so not sure if its worth to replace the mobo in your case
However, you can ask the ASP technician for a opinion maybe you could get an second hand part -
Satellite Pro C650, Boots OK, after Windows starts up the screen goes white
Hi,
I have a Satellite Pro C650.
It boot fine.
I can see Windows starting up - after startup - the screen goes completely white.
Has anyone seen this?
Am geussing it might be a loose display connection - but I the screen displays the startup sequence and initial windows startup.
Regards,
eeiddneHi
I dont think your display is faulty.
What happens if you access the BIOS at the beginning?
To access the BIOS press F2 while powering on the unit.
Access the BIOS and keep it running for some minutes and check if the display will turn to white.
Additionally its advisable to connect an external monitor and to output the display to the 2nd screen. If the 2nd screen would not be OK, then the graphic chip might be the troublemaker.
