Satellite Pro T110 - speaker volume problem

How do I increase the volume of the speakers in my T110?
Ive read other forums that suggest thats just the way it is but that cant be right - its impossible to hear on max.
My partner has a Toshiba NB300 (much smaller) but the speaker volume is much better.
Is it a common problem with T110 buyers?
Is there a fix PLEASE?

Hi buddy,
I never saw any other forums where people talk about low volume on Satellite T110 I also have this model and the sound volume is ok for this small and ultra portable notebook.
I think you want to increase the volume when watching movies or listen music, right?
Well, in this case I would recommend using VLC media player. In my opinion its the best freeware player and using it you can improve volume compared to Windows media player.
Have a look on Google to find it. Its freeware tool so I dont think its a problem to find. ;)

Satellite Pro M10 - start up problems

Hi
I have a Satellite Pro M10, only 2 years old, but has big start up problems at mement.
The message that comes up when turning it on is:
"Intel (R) Boot Agent FE v4.1.09
Copyright (C) 1997-2002, Intel Corporation
PXE-E61: Media test failure, check cable
PXE-MOF: Exiting Intel Boot Agent.
Insert system disk in drive.
press any key when ready......"
Now I have spoken to a few people and they all say I need a new hard disk etc..., but I can't see how you replace this as it looks like it is built in rather than something than can just be pulled out.
Also I don't have a system disk, and the guy that supplied it to me has decided not to return my emails?
Can anyone help please?
Chris

Hi,
Your original error messages indicate that your laptop is unable to boot from the hard drive, so the BIOS search order will then force a boot from the CD drive. This is why it is asking fro a disc to be inserted.
Since you cannot boot into safe mode then I must presume that your hard drive is corrupt in some way, so the next option is to restore the hard drive from your recovery CDs. Note that this will reformat you hard drive and you will lose any data on there which has not been backed up.
To use the recovery CDs simply insert the first CD into the CD drive and power attempt to reboot the laptop while holding down the 'C' key on the keyboard. (This may be different for your CDs but it is the "C" key on mine).
Then just follow the on-screen prompts to start restoring your hard drive.
With regard to your question about the 'system disk', this can be any bootable CD that you may have. Some can be supplied by third party products (such as Norton Ghost) or may be created yourself for subsequent use. Your product recovery CDs are also bootable so you may be able to user the first of them at this prompt.

Satellite Pro L300 BIOS update problem

Hi
I've an Satellite Pro L300 (PSLBHE).
I downloaded the new bios file and started the upgrade. A window appeared and showed the old and new bios version (v1.70 -> v2.20). About in 1 min. my laptop screen turned to black but HDD green light flashed and didn't anything about 15 mins. After I pushed the power button and the laptop shutdown. Now if I push the power button nothing happen just blank (black) screen and the HDD flashing light.
What's the problem? What can I do? Please help me.
gjon

Problem is that BIOS update is screwed up now. Obviously BIOS update was interrupted and now the BIOS chip is damaged.
What you can do now?
Unfortunately not much. What you need is professional help so I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba service and ask for help. Sorry.

Satellite Pro U300 Expansion Chassis Problem

Hello Fellow Users,
I am trying to use an expresscard expansion chassis with my satellite pro. Problem is that in device manager I am getting error code 12 for the PCI bridges in the chassis and error code 31 for the PCI bridge on the card I want to use in the expansion chassis.
I have installed latest BIOS but am unable to resolve the issue.
Express card slot in workstation is fine as I use a 1G Ethernet Express card without problem.
Hunting around the web it looks like the problem is related to the BIOS being unable to handle the number of PCI busses in the system, refer to Microsoft knowledgebase article 942959. This article explains the problem and how to reslove it for Vista and W2008.
I am running XP and the workround they suggest does not work. Upgrade to Vista is not really an option as software I want to use is not release for Vista yet.
My only options left at this stage are fresh XP install to see if it corrects problem, or fresh vista install and hope the drivers/software I want to use will work under Vista.
Has anyone else seen this problem, got any other suggestions.
Many thanks

Hi,
your problem is pretty unusal, but what I would like to know is: which model/from which manufacturer is this expansion chassis?
That would be interesting since without knowing from which expansion chassis were talking about it would be hard to find out where the problem exactly could be..
Greetings

Speaker volume problem

Can not reduce the speaker volume. it is in its full volume. Have tried the control panel re sound. no avail. Please help. thank you

Welcome to the Forum.
I am sorry no one has responded. I do not know the answer, either.
I will offer one idea to try:
"Hard Reset"
Disconnect EVERYTHING from your computer, including all USB stuff, the AC power,
Remove the battery.
PRESS and hold down the Power button for about 15 seconds. (This is the "Reset" part.)
Put the battery back in,
Connect everything back up and Power on the computer.
If you need more help, you must provide the exact model of your notebook and the exact operating system (Windows 7 or Vista and whether it's 32 or 64bit - or XP).
Hope this helps.
Kind Regards,

X-FI driver causes speaker volume problems with remot

I have the X-FI elite pro and after the latest driver update, using the auto update, my remote controls only the front left speaker's volume only. This not a huge problem, but a problem still. Is there any fix for this? Does Creative know about this? If so, when is the time estimate for an official fix?
Thanks for any info!

I also expect a fix for this, we will probably have to wait for another "critical update". I plan on reverting to the previous drivers until then...
But I was wondering if this was happening under Vista as well?

Satellite Pro U400 - microphone reception problem after installing xp sp3

I had Vista then recently I installed windows XP SP3 from scratch (not downgraded). I downloaded latest drivers from Toshiba and installed them. Now I have a problem with microphone. Sound playback from speakers is well but reception level of built-in microphone is very low and often unrecognizable. I use a voip program. In Vista, microphone was working better.
Now in WXP, I am told that they can't hear me or my voice is very low and hardly recognizable. I also tried sound recorder in windows. My voice is like I am talking from ten meters away.
I don't have an external microphone so I can't tell if line-in micro. is working well.
In previous posts people mention downloading a hotfix for xp sound issues but I am not sure if applies to my situation.
Thank you
Erdem

I did not use the recovery disc. I used another disc I have with SP3. So, I had to install the drivers manually. Everything is perfect now except the microphone. I re-installed sound drivers today, nothing changed. I think tempro is for Vista only.
Microphone is recognizedby the system but the problem is it does not capture the sound properly.
In my voip software, there is a test for microphone. I can see the bar moving as I speak but I can not hear my own voice when play the record, even at 100% volume, just some noise and a low .
If I check the "microphone boost" from properties, I can hear my recorded voice but with a lot of noise and still lower than normal volume.
Can it be related to another drive or some adjustment I overlooked? I also applied the recommendations for sound quality that are on Skype help pages.
Short model no is PSU41E.
Thanks

IPhone 3GS really have speaker volume problem coz in one year my handset is changed for 2 times coz of this problem every te my phone volume get reduced automatically

IPhone 3GS have speaker problem? Coz in last one my phone is replaced 2 times from apple
The volume get reduced in some days in last 2 months this is 3rd time when I have faced problem

I have had your exact problem with my old 3GS, now I cannot even get it to turn on, I still see that it is supposed to be charging though, but it never charges any so it seems.
I replaced the Lower Dock Connector Assembly back when it still charged while hooked to my PC, and it found it made no real difference.

At this point I am not sure if I should replace the battery and hope for the best, or just junk the phone, I cannot really sell it if I cannot reset it...

Headphone and speaker volume problem. Volume is not memorized.

I have the Helix i5 and the problem I'm having is that when I plug in my headphones, the volume does not automatically adjust. If my speakers are on full volume, so are my headphones when I plug them in. Please help me fix this. My Microsoft Surface never had such a ridiculous issue like this.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Try.
Control Panel --> HW & Sound --> Realtek HD Audio Manager
On the top righthand side press "Device advanced settings"
Choose Multi-stream mode
For me this unlocked separate volume sliders for speakers and headphones

Satellite Pro A120: I have problems with the graphics driver installation for W2k

I have installed windows 2000 on an A120 the system is fully service packed and up to date before I even begin installing the required drivers I am unable to restart the system. Once I install the drivers as recommended I have problems with the graphics driver as it will not install because it requires a restart and then I am unable to install any new programs that require a restart as the driver has not installed correctly.
The laptop is a A120 Pro, 1 week old and came with XP home, because of this toshiba will not offer me support as I have changed the O/S even though they obviously support 2000 on this laptop as they supply the drivers.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

the reason the driver is not working is down to a problem with the windows 2000 not having the ability to reboot.
When you select restart the system appears to power down then stays switched on. Now if I try to install software I get an error saying that the system needs to complete a restart to finish the install of the driver.
The restart problem happens as soon as win2k is installed as although I have now shipped the laptop to the sales team I have another one which has just had a clean install of win2k without any drivers and the fault is present on this one.
I am thinking it could be to do with power management but I'm not to sure as I have never come across this as I normally purchase machines which accept just about any O/S.

Satellite Pro M30 Hibernation Mode Problem

Hello,
I can't activate Hybernation mode in my laptop. When I check the option in the Control Panel>Energy Options from windows xp, it says that the file is being used by someone else, I suppose, toshiba energy management.
I've updated the toshiba energy program, but it stills don't work.
Any help?
Thanks

Found solution!
The problem is that there's a conflict with a controller. In concret, a virtual drive used in programs like Alcohol 120% or Daemon Tools.
There's a thread here: http://breaman.net/index.php?p=31.
The main problem is that the computer dies one day with a blue screen. Then you can't recover although you use F8 or safe mode. When you reinstall everything, then you can't use hibernation mode. This happens because of a controller for a virtual cd.
Just uninstall this programs, activate hibernation and... if you want, reinstall the software.
Hopes this helps.

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.

Maximum HDD size for Satellite Pro 6000?

Hi, I am trying to install a 60 GB HD, but it formats, and it stops at Windows XP Pro instalation.
Is there a limit to HD size?
Thanx,
Ronaldo

Hi,
does it stop without any error message? If not then try another copy of WinXP since the Satellite Pro 6000 shouldnt have problems with that harddrive. I had 2 years a similar machine and I also had a 60GB Toshiba HDD installed. It worked like a charm, so I cannot imagine that the harddrive could be the problem.
Cheers

Satellite Pro A200 failing to connect with iphone hotspot via wifi

Apologies if I get some of the technical jargon wrong but I pretty useless when it comes to IT issues.
I have a Satellite Pro A200 and had problems connecting to various wifi connections.
The computer would see the wifi connection and connect to it but i wasn't able to connect to the internet.
The office issue has now been sorted by our IT support guy (security settings on the new router we too complex for my PC or something like that) but he wasn't able to solve the problem of not being able to connect to my iphone to use the 'hotspot' feature via wifi.
Does anyone know a way of solving this or is it a simple fact of the laptop being too old and really needs updating?
Thanks for any assistance anyone is able to give.

> Does anyone know a way of solving this or is it a simple fact of the laptop being too old and really needs updating?
This is not a question of notebook age
As far as I know not all mobile phone providers support this
You should firstly ask your mobile provider if you can use the tethering function.
If this would be supported my mobile provider, then you have to connect the iphone to the notebook firstly
For that youve got two options: you could use the BT connection (in such case check if notebook supports BT too) or via USB cable provided with the iPhone.
(PS: As far as I know tethering is support by iOS3.0 and higher)
After the iphone has been connected to the notebook you need to enable the tethering on iphone.
Under Settings -> Network you should see the option internet tethering this need to be enabled.
Now you should be able to see that in Network & sharing Center of the control panel.

Satellite Pro L100 does not run after BIOS update

Ok the machine is a Toshiba Satellite Pro L100 PSLA4. Problem occurred during a BIOS update from the official Toshiba website. I downloaded the zip file, extracted it and activated the .exe file inside.
The window opened by the .exe was a BIOS flashing program, the .exe also simultaneously wrote a new BIOS file to a temporary folder.
When tried to use the program all I got was an error saying that it couldn't find the new BIOS to input.
I tried again only to get the same error. I then left the laptop for several minutes and when I returned, I found a blank unresponsive laptop.
By unresponsive I mean an obvious lack of BIOS functions i.e. power LED's not changing when plugging in of unplugging from the mains and the fact that I had to pull the battery out to turn the machine off. When the machine is turned on now all it does is check the drives and restarts (no display, no beeps)
What do I do?
The first thing that came to mind was to reset the BIOS.
One problem, I can't find the RTC battery or a jumper switch.

I have at least found out why this happened, the program obtained from Toshiba automatically 'attempts' to upgrade the BIOS upon activation. This means that the program engaged with errors without my authorisation. I don't find this very impressive from a company as large and powerful as Toshiba.
Also it may be possible to fix myself if the BIOS installation instructions made sense, extracting the .zip file does not create three sub folders and pressing the F12 key does not start the laptop.
