Satellite Pro P200 - Can't get sound to work

Hi, since I've had this laptop I've not been able to get the sound to work. Have tried turning the volume off and on from the ESC key and the master volume control looks fine. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Many thanks!

Hello Wayne
Please don't be mad on me but whole story is somehow strange. Why?
>since I've had this laptop I've not been able to get the sound to work
This cannot be the truth. Every notebook is preinstalled with Toshiba recovery image and recovery image is designed for your notebook model. That means, with factory settings everything MUST work well.
So questions are:
Do you still use factory settings or own preinstalled OS?
Do you use Vista?
Can you hear sound using headset?
Please offer a little bit more info.

Satellite Pro L20 - Can't get WLAN to work

Hi,
I'm having problems with my Satellite Pro L20 after a reinstall. The wlan wont work.
I installed the correct driver but have had no luck.
Any body have the same issue?
Any help would be great

Did you reinstall your notebook with the recovery disk or Microsoft disk?
Which driver did you install?
You should use the driver from the Toshiba website. Check it again:

Maybe a BIOS could also solve the problem.

egb - make also sure you added yourself to audio group.

Can't get sound to work [SOLVED]

Hi, I'm new to arch/linux in general. Built a computer, and can't get sound to work. I ran Ubuntu for a short period of time, and sound worked there, so I'm assuming there's no hardware issue here.
I'm a little bit stuck as to what I should be doing. Help?

Start with the wiki: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ad … chitecture
If you still can't figure it out and you want help, at least post some info, instead of 'can't get it to work' (this implies that you tried something, but what?).

After reinstall, can't get sound to work

I did a full reinstall of windows XP to a new hard dri've after my old one crashed, and I can't get the sound card to work. I am getting no sound whatsoever.
I have the Soundblaster? X-fi disc that came with my Dell computer, and I used that to install drivers. Device manager says the card and drivers are working properly. It also lists a Sigma Tel High Definition Audio Codec as a device, which is something that was on the driver disk supplied by Dell. I disabled that just in case the two are in conflict, but no luck. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.

Satellite Pro A100 - Can't install sound driver

Hello,
Hope someone can help, I'm having trouble getting a sound driver to work, I've tried quite a few different drivers now and none seem to work.
I've tried all the drivers off the Toshiba driver download site with no luck. I'm still left with a yellow question mark in device manager. (Satellite Pro A 100) During the installation the window appears that i must instull MICROSOFT BUS DRIVER BEFORE this audio drive r(Realtek HDA for XP).
Where can I get this driver(Appreicate if someone could point me in the right direction), or somebody can give me another usefull advice?
Appreciate any help
Thanks.

I think this is a known issue.
Sometimes its useful to search in the Microsoft Knowledge Base. There I had found these interesting documents:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/835221
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/888111
Its very important to install these hotfixes before you install the driver.

Can't get sound to work

Hello,
haven't posted here in a long time, but now I decided to install arch on the new laptop I bought and I managed to get myself in a bit of trouble seeing that I never used a laptop before, let alone installed arch on it.
So my laptop model is Lenovo IdeaPad G510 ( CPU: Intel Core I5-4200m Haswell GPU: AMD Radeon HD 8570M).
I installed the propriety driver for the gpu but I use the intel integrated gpu for now because the X server doesn't start when using the amd driver, so that's one problem I jope you can help me with.
My other and more urgent problem is that I can't get the sound to work and creating a custom alsa conf just breaks alsa anyone has a clue as to how I can fix that?

it's the one built in with the CPU (that's why I posted the cpu make) and the alsa conf was like the one listed in the wiki where you specify one card to load before the other ( already delted the .conf so I can't post it sorry), my main problem is that I don't even know how to decide which of the devices show by aplay - l is my sound card, just never had to deal with sound before

Hey
I use KDE4 with KMix. I have 5.1 Optical sound.
When I enter Audio Setup in KMix and test the "hw: 0,1" option I get playback.
But I haven't gottten any sound except that. Tried a video in MPlayer and Youtube video in Firefox.
I'm still abit new to Arch and linux.
Also tried adding

Did what you said. PCM was the only one muted.
Oddly, I recently started having the opposite problem. KDE startup and other systems sounds have stopped playing. All my other sound (mplayer, flash, etc) work fine. I can play the startup sound fine when opening it via dolphin. It just doesn't play on startup, or any other system sound. I know this happened after a recent update but I am not sure what or when caused it. Startup sound isn't that important to me but fixing it is. No luck so far.

Can't get sound to work - no /dev/dsp !!!

I could really do with some help here, this is the first time I have tried to get sound working under linux. I am using a Abit VT6X4 board with on-board sound (VT82C686A) AC97 compliant chipset. I am using Kernel 2.6 which uses the config from the 2.6 package but with added SCSI support. I created the audio group as per FAQ but with ^snd as well as ^sound in the devfsd.conf. I installed all of the ALSA packages, I added snd_via82xx and snd-pcm-oss to /rc.conf, I added the following to /etc/modules.conf
# ALSA portion
alias char-major-116 snd
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
# module options should go here
# OSS/Free portion
alias char-major-14 soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
# card #1
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss
alias sound-service-0-8 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-12 snd-pcm-oss
When I login (as user or root) I get the dreaded no dev/dsp error.
Now if I ls -la in /dev, I see no dsp file/directory, however, if i touch /dev/dsp I get an access denied error (as root).
If I lsmod I get the following listed, so the modules appear to load ok.
snd_pcm_oss 49412 0
snd_mixer_oss 17056 1 snd_pcm_oss
snd_via82xx 22688 0
snd_pcm 91168 2 snd_pcm_oss,snd_via82xx
snd_timer 22532 1 snd_pcm
snd_ac97_codec 52900 1 snd_via82xx
snd_page_alloc 9220 2 snd_via82xx,snd_pcm
snd_mpu401_uart 6432 1 snd_via82xx
snd_rawmidi 20768 1 snd_mpu401_uart

soundcore 7456 1 snd

Still having no luck here. I added snd-mixer-oss snd-seq-oss to the /etc/rc.conf. Farphel, you mentioned setting up the /etc/devfsd.conf to link /dev/dsp to the appropriate devfs entry, could you please give me an example of which lines do this.
I also inserted the following into /etc/modprobe.conf
(i take it modules.conf is now ignored with Kernel 2.6?).
alias char-major-116* snd
options snd cards_limit=1
alias snd-card-0 snd-via82xx
alias char-major-14* soundcore
alias sound-slot-0 snd-card-0
alias sound-service-0-0 snd-mixer-oss
alias sound-service-0-1 snd-seq-oss
alias sound-service-0-3 snd-pcm-oss

alias /dev/sound/dsp snd-pcm-oss
alias /dev/sound/sequencer snd-seq-oss

Satellite Pro M70: Can not get the TV OUT working

I have connected my laptop to my TV via the TV-OUT socket and a 4 pin S-Video lead. I have turned on the TV as an output in the advanced settings of my graphics card. I have selected TV via the Fn-F5 keys and I get nothing on my television.
Can anyone suggest what I might have left out to make this work?
The S-Video lead is new and the hook up to the TV is via a Joytech AV Control Center 2.
The Joytech unit is operational and the video lead appears OK as the Fn-F5 key press indicates that a TV is available - this disappears as an option if I unplug the video lead from the Joytech unit.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Lorraine,
I presume that the TV is actually switched to your Joytech AV device ? I presume it gives some kind of signal so that you check that the TV can actually detect it. I once spent a happy few hours trying to use my TV in this way only to find it was switched to the composite inputs not the S-Video one. ;-)

Tecra S1 - Can't get sound to work after new installation

Hi,
I have a Tecra S1 and had to reformat. Didn't have orig driver CD.
All went well, installed drivers from Toshiba website. Soundmax driver for sound. But I am sure I can hear some reverb when playing music. VERY annoying.
I think that a sound environment preset must be turned on but I have looked EVERYWHERE and cannot find how to get into or adjust any sound environment presets.
HELP PLEASE!
Any help appreciated.
Pete

Nice job, buddy! :)
How did you fix this?

I can't get sound to work once I export my indesign file to pdf

I am tyring to get a sound to play on a project I am working on, I've tried making a button to play an mp3 and I've tried converting the file using the Adobe Media Encoder to f4v and I've instructed it to play on page load and that doesn't work either. I'm at wits end trying this because I have a deadline tomorrow and I've been trying to get this last touch done for around 24 hours. I just need some help!

Are your speakers turned on? Sorry, that's a bit facetious...
I can't help at all here, but I could recommend going over the help file for it, you might find a step you've missed, a link to the online one is here. There are user notes down the bottom too, apparently there are a few issues.

Satellite A350-20S - Can't get FN keys working

Hi,
I recently formatted the hard disk and installed Vista home premium again because it was running slow. Before formatting I had disabled the touch pad from using becasue I found it very uncomfortable to use. Therefore instead of that I was using an optical mouse. Once I installed Vista the touch pad was not working and the Fn key was not responding to F1,F2-F9.. The strange thing is when I press the Fn key the light goes on and indicates its working and when I press Fn+F10, the num lock gets on and when I press Fn+F11 it goes to normal qwerty keyborad.
I have downloaded all the drivers for the laptop including the touch pad driver from TOSHIBA offical webpage and tried every known trick in the book but still truggling to get this Function key panel working? Your help is highly appreciated.
My laptop is still under warranty but I am scared to send it over becasue they would go like you hav formatted the hard disk even I hav installed the same OS that I already had.
Thats the main reason to post this. Hear me out plz

Hi buddy,
I doubt that you have downloaded everything from the Toshiba website, otherwise your FN keys would work properly! ;)
Anyway, for the FN keys you have to install Toshiba Value Added Package. With this package its also possible to enable/disable the touchpad. It brings all FN keys to work.

Just download the version that you need and thats it!
