Satellite Pro S300-EZ1512 no sound

I recently reformatted back to XP Pro SP3 from a machine that came with stock vista. I manually updated all drivers with no conflicts. I have installed and uninstalled>reinstalled my audio drivers along with all other drivers, one at a time with restarts in between. Device manager says my audio device is working properly. Volume is up nothing is muted. Yet there is no sound. Not from the internal speakers nor from the headphone jack. Everywhere I look everything is supposedly working properly yet clearly that is not the case. Any help greatly appreciated.
Edited to say:
Yes I even uninstalled and let windows detect the audio device itself. Which it did, and installed with no conflict but again- still no sound.

Satellite Pro S300 - HDD in caddy is not recognized by BIOS

I have replaced the original HDD and installed a new SSD which works fine.
Installed the W7Pro and all updates.
I do not use my CD-Writer so I replaced the CD-drive and installed a caddy with my old HDD to have more diskspace.
When I boot my laptop I see a message CD-ROM ERROR.
In device manager the caddy and or the HDD are not shown.
I tried to change settings in the BIOS (according Toshiba utility the latest version) but even in the Bios is no information about the present SSD or the installed HDD. (or the CD-Drive when I re-install this drive again)
What is wrong here? Do I need an updated BIOS that allows the 2nd HDD?
Or do I overlook a setting somewhere?
NB In the BIOS the HDD drive settingis according ACPI, in the listing below it is mentioned as IDE device.
When I enter in the BIOS IDE in stead of ACPI I still see the CD-ROM ERROR during boot and after this message the screen is blue and no further activity.
The relevant PC Information:

Thank you for the help sofar.
Indeed I do have a third party caddy. I first bought one (no brand) at MyCom. At MyCom I was told that that unit would work on my Toshiba. Well, it didn't so I returned the caddy.
Then I contacted the company note bookcaddy through internet.
They thought it should work and they have sent me a new caddy from their brand (without payment; just to try!)
They have tried a lot to help me make this unit work. But it failed until now.
Does the bios check for the message that the CD-drive is available and does it not except the message from the HDD device that it is not a CD-Drive?
Maybe I only have to change the wiring inside the caddy to let the Bios think there is a drive present?

How can i do to recovery Satellite Pro S300

Hi ...
I am Frman From Kurdistan Of Iraq
thanks for this forums to take all outfit .
I want help me for recovery my laptop.
How can i do recovery my laptop toshiba sattelite pro s300 with all driver but i depletion my data in my laptop to recovery.
Can you help me? send me data to recovery .
Thank you

Hello Frman
The whole story is very simple. To learn how to identify and find drivers for your notebook do as follow:
# Go to http://www.toshiba-tro.de/unitdetails and put X8016403H serial number there. You will see there exact name and model number of your notebook.
# According model name you have US notebook model so go to US support page under http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/tais/su/su_sc_modSel.jsp
# Click on download and choose Laptops > Satellite Pro > S300-EZ2501
# All stuff you need you can find now.
Please note: recovery image is not downloadable and you will not be able to find it. I presume you don't have original Toshiba disc. So your best option is to install supported operating system using Microsoft installation disc. All necessary drivers, tools and utilities you can find in US Toshiba download section.
If you have more questions please let us know.

How to enter BIOS settings on my Satellite Pro S300?

Hi
It can look stupid but I'm trying to access to the BIOS menu on my TOSHIBA Satellite Pro S300-EZ1511 and i can't, i searched for that on the manual but i couldn't find anything.
I need to go there so i can change the SATA settings to IDE so i can install windows XP system after i formatted the Vista.
Thanks

It should be in the Users Manual somewhere.
Turn on the laptop, and hold down the ESC key. Then press F1 when it prompts you.

How to boot from SD-card on Satellite Pro S300?

My windows 7 32bit based S300 has a build-in SD card reader. The Toshiba utility for making the SD card bootable comes with an error message stating Fault: 00-61-FF02-26.
Is does not see or recognize the card.
In the BIOS version 3.00 WIN there is also no possilility for booting from SD card.
The SD card can be formatted and you can read and write to the card.
Why is this not possible?

As far as I know the BIOS of the Satellite Pro S300 supports the following bootable devices:
- USB FDD,
- Primary HDD,
- ODD (or USB ODD),
- Network(LAN),
- SD-CARD,
- USB Memory, supported at the same time
So BIOS provides the booting from SD card.
You should try following way:
Insert the SD card in the SD card slot and then power up the notebook.
Then press F12 in order to get the boot menu. Now the SD card should appear in the menu

Satellite Pro S300 EZ1514 - Cannot initialize Solid State Drive (SSD)

I have a Satellite Pro S300 EZ1514.
Recently I purchased a SATA II Cavalry 64GB SSD to replace the current hard drive. First I tried to install XP with SATA drivers streamlined in.
The install process recognized the SSD and did the initial file copy to it, but when it restarted to continue the install process the system would not boot from the drive.
Then I tried installing Vista Business 64 from the recovery disk that came with the laptop.
After initiating the recovery disk, the install process said the hard drive was not Initialized and to click OK to initialize now.
After clicking OK to initialize the system restarted only to end up on the same screen telling me to initialize the hard drive.
Then I tried to initialize the drive manually off of my desktop.
Plugged it into my desktop, initialized it and formatted it to NTFS. Plugged it back into the laptop to try Vista recovery again. And yet again the same screen shows up. Plugged the SSD back into the desktop only to find that the drive was no longer initialized and had to be initialized again.
Then I gave up and installed the SSD to my desktop as primary boot and it installed perfectly fine with XP. For testing purposes I then put the ssd with the pre-installed XP back into the laptop to see what happens. To my dismay the laptop would not boot and on top of that when I put the SSD back into the desktop only to find that the drive was no longer initialized and I had to reinstall XP again.
Conclusion:
It seems that the Satellite Pro S300 series is not SSD friendly and just the post it self de-initializes the Solid State Drives.
This seems like the logical conclusion as the SSD works perfectly fine on my desktop and the laptop is fine now with the old spinning hard drive back in.
Anyone else have this problem or a solution?
I would still like to put the SSD into my laptop for power saving.

Im using AHCI mode, but for testing I tried both and neither one worked. My bios is already up to the latest version and unfortunately the Cavalry site does not have any firmware updates yet. Again I don't think the drive is bad cuz it works perfectly fine on a desktop that had the same intel chip set and SATA controller. I think it's the custom boot agent that Toshiba uses at boot. Anyone know how to disable that agent and the intel boot agent as well? I read somewhere that the agents are not needed for the boot process and that in some cases they do cause issues like mine.

Satellite Pro S300-121: Win 7 64bit installation: yes or no

i have win7 32bit on my Satellite Pro S300-121.
I have 4gb of ram installed.
Should i install the 64bit version or will i not notice any difference in speed?
I know i have to do a clean install but is it worth it for the S300-121 any pros and cons either way, your thoughts

> Should i install the 64bit version or will i not notice any difference in speed?
Generally speaking yes but before you do anything check Toshiba download page at first and be sure Win7 64bit is supported for your notebook model.
If not than leave it. There is no sense to use non-supported OS without right drivers and Toshiba specific tools and utilities.
In the past many people have had such problems.

Satellite Pro S300 - Screen is blank and can't reboot

About a week ago, I left my Satellite Pro S300-EZ2502 on overnight (as usual). It was fine that night.
The next day, I had a black screen and a flashing amber light at the left side. I tried turning it off, rebooting, no dice. I have tried removing the battery and rebooting under just AC power, nothing, I have tried the opposite. Nothing. I have tried letting the battery run out and then recharge. No help. Very occasionally when I plug it back in, I will get a green light for a few seconds, but then back to the flashing amber light. Nothing EVER on the screen.
I have only had this Notebook since MAY!! what is wrong!!

This interests me, as I have three of these S series laptops and two have failed in similar manner so far.
It can be rectified temporarily by removing the battery, then pressing the start button for several seconds to discharge the capacitor (Toshiba told me to do this) and then using the power cable to start up again. It usually works.
Not very elegant to take out its guts though
My problems started in late August early September - is this significant?
Are you using XP or Vista?
Toshiba have not mended the problem despite two journeys for repair for one machine.
What does the blinking light sequence this orange light taps out mean? Nothing in the papers I have looked at.
My machines were bought in March

Satellite Pro - Slow start up and sound is messed up

I have had my *Toshiba Satellite Pro* with *Windows XP* for a good few years now. She has always worked like a gem and has given me no problems until a few weeks ago.
A few weeks ago I was downloading a program and with it came the very unwanted and unliked "Antivir Solutions" virus. I did everything I could to get rid of this disaster (thanks to the help of support forums) and I think I managed to get rid of it, but ever since then my computer has not been the same.
I was having trouble downloading a PDF document a few days ago and it froze so I tried to restart which caused the computer to have a hissy fit, deleting my user account which meant I had to set all that up again from scratch. And, now, the computer takes a good 45 minutes from the time you press the "ON" button to when it is ready to start working. Not to mention, it takes a good 10 minutes each time you click an icon for the program to actually start..
I have tried defragmenting the system and have tried uninstalling unused programs to speed the computer up, but it hasn't worked.
I have also run several antivirus programs (such as Norton, AVG and Microsoft Security Essentials) to make sure I have no nasties messing me up, but they come up clean.
May I also add- The sound is messed up also. Whether I use the inbuilt speakers or external speakers the sound is disjointed and broken. As is any Video I play.
I just don't know what to do.
I cannot really afford a new computer, but I need my computer to be reliable. I use my computer for 12 out of the 24 hours in each day...
*What can I do?*

Hi nicoletrist,
I dont know what notebook you have exactly but I think the slow Windows start is caused due the viruses that you have or had.
Few years ago I had also a virus and it was causing a very slow start up, it did take up to 10 minutes until Windows was loaded and the only solution to get rid of this was using Toshiba recovery disk.
I would recommend the same to you. Use the Toshiba recovery disk to restore factory settings and backup your data because everything on HDD will be deleted.
Im sure after using recovery disk your notebook will run like a charm again! :)

Satellite Pro P100-327 (PSPA4E) - No Sound Following Win 7 Clean Install

Hello,
I have just clean installed Win 7 Home Premium (64 bit) on a Satellite Pro P100-327 (PSPA4E) which was purchased in November 2006. It was previously running XP. I never installed Vista though the laptop is badged Vista Capable.
I followed the recommended Win 7 bios/driver/software install order but I now have no sound at all. Everything that I have tried so far has failed to fix it.
The laptop has a Conexant based audio solution with harman kardon speakers. Win 7 has installed the following driver which reports the following info.
High Definition Audio Device (Microsoft Driver version 6.1.7601.17514 dated 11/19/2010) and Device status: This device cannot start. (Code 10)
Hardware IDs:
HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5047&SUBSYS_1179FF31& REV_1000 HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5047&SUBSYS_1179FF31
There is a second exclamation mark in Device Manager for a further unknown device / uninstalled driver (showing code 28) for a device with a Hardware ID of ACPI\SMCB000 but I do not know what this device is!
Does anyone have any suggestions on a fix for my sound issue?
Thanks!
Martyn


Hi Michel,
Many thanks for your suggestion. Unfortunately I have tried your suggested approach
probably 20 times or more with around 8 different drivers. So far none have fully
installed and fixed the issue.
Perhaps I have failed to locate a working / compatible Windows 7 x64 driver for
Conexant HD Audio!
Perhaps there isn't one?
Perhaps I need to try harder?!?
Perhaps the on board sound solution featuring Conexant HD Audio is simply
****** as on [www.conexant.com|http://www.conexant.com/] they say manufacturers
have TOLD them NOT to make drivers available (... to poor unfortunate users)!!!
I think that manufacturers need to step up to the plate and support / help their
customers. I own 4 Satellite Pro laptops
running Vista x32 and Windows 7 x64. This one cost me well over £1,200 so I don't
want to hear or conclude that it is simply scrap! That would represent truly poor value for
money - the kind of business case that would undermine my belief that Toshiba
laptops are the best in the business.
Ditto Microsoft - the Windows 7 x64 Upgrade Advisor tool gave me the all clear to
upgrade this system. All generally appears fine
EXCEPT the lack of sound.
Having now been exposed to the experience of many other laptop owners set out
in various forums etc, covering both Toshiba laptops and some other major brands, I have to concluded that the Windows
7 Upgrade Advisor is flawed and that a successful upgrade is somewhat hit and
miss affair. Beware.
Still hopeful that someone out there will be able to help me fix this issue?
Regards
Martyn

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.

Satellite Pro S300 and AES1610 fingerprint scanner

To whom it may concern,
I have a Toshiba Pro S300 laptop with AES1610 fingerprint scanner.
Everytime i boot windows and has been occuring for over a week now, it continually pops up wanting to install an update for AES1610, when you select ok to finish installing software it eventually opens up Truesuite Access software, and then wants to modify repair or remove.
Please can someone help me resolve this issue.
The fingerprint sensor and truesuite software is still fully operational as well.

Hi
I had this happen with Vista, it seems that Vista is trying to install newer drivers from the Windows Update site.
Warning: this might delete your finger prints and any saved passwords in the utility so if this happens you will need to add them back, make sure you know your windows password as well to get back in.
What I did from memory.
1) Go through the setup and click Finish.
2) Go to Start - Control Panel - Programs and Features
3) Find the TrueSuite Access Manager entry and uninstall that program
4) Reboot the machine.
Then...
1) Go to Start - Control Panel - Device Manager
2) Find the Personal identification devices entry and expand to see the AuthenTec Inc entry, right click it and go to Update Driver Software and use Search Automatically. This should find the newer version that Windows wants to install from the update site, follow the wizard and that hopefully will be the end of it.
I think what is happening is Windows update is trying to install a newer version but as the older version is still on the machine it's setup program is detecting the driver/program has changed and is then prompting to re-install the older version, so you get stuck in a loop.
Hope that helps.
Regards
Phil

Satellite Pro S300-10J - Question about the microphone voltage supply

Hi there!
I would like to use my S300 10J for acoustical measurements on speakers. (DIY)
For that setup, I'm using an electret microphone, the IBF EMM-08:
http://www.etfacoustic.com/micpreamp.html
for power, this is what it needs: 1.5 - 10V / approx. 0.5 mA
Does the s300-10J supply that or not ?
Anyone that can recoomend an external soundcard that has that supply? (if my laptop doesn't )
Thanx in advance,
Bart Segers

Hi
I have a little bit searched with Google and I didnt find any details only about the microphone port. So I think this notebook is equipped with a normal microphone port as on every notebook.
I dont know if this is what you need but if you need an external sound card I can recommend Creative sound cards. I use Creative sound cards for years and I have good experience with it. For notebooks are special sound cards available that you can put in the express card slot for example:

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.
