Satellite U500-17E - Sound distortion sometimes

Hi,
I have problem with sound. Sometimes there is sound distortion short while (it is about half second and sounds like it is cycling). Please help me.
I have Toshiba Satellite U500-17E with Windows 7 HOME PREMIUM.
Thanks

Hi, so I downloaded Nvidia and Realtek audio drivers and install it. It had no affect. Then I noticed that there is 4 Nvidia same drivers and only diference is that in propeties is location(0), location(1), location(2), location(3) so I unistalled three Nvidia sound drivers.Also turn on high performance.Still not fix.I don't know why there were so much drivers because I didn't make any changes in drivers.Also I didn't know if it is normal that there are Nvidia and Realtek drivers and not only one audio driver.
If you have any ideas please let me know.
Thanks

    It is not understandable for me why you have ignored Toshibas reminder about recovery DVD creation but it is definitely your mistake and now you have this stupid problem.
    Maybe somebody can help you with this but you should leave your e-mail address here.
    By the way: if you are ready to give some donation then you can also pay this 30 euro and order original disc for your notebook model.
    If you will change your mind here is address for recovery disc order - https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx

  • Satellite U500-119 toolbar disappears sometimes

    On my Satellite U500-119, sometimes the toolbar disappears.
    To solve the problem, i must reboot the computer.
    How to solve this problem?

    Hey,
    Which toolbar you mean exactly?
    Do you mean the Flash Cards on the upper side on the screen?
    If yes you should try reinstalling Toshiba Value Added Package. This package controls the FN keys and the Flash Cards they will displayed if you press a FN key. You can download it here:
    http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com > Support & Downloads > Download Drivers
    You have to remove the old version first and then restart your notebook. Now you can install latest VAP from Toshiba page.

  • Sound distortion every 20 sec on Satellite C

    When listening to audio both with and without headphones, every 20 seconds or so the sound output becomes distorted for several seconds and in some cases this sound distortion also causes the computer display to freeze completely.
    My PC is a Toshiba Satellite series C running Windows 7.
    Any suggestions please?

    >every 20 seconds or so the sound output becomes distorted for several seconds and in some cases this sound distortion also causes the computer display to freeze completely.
    This looks a little bit like system freeze.
    In such case some processes which are running in the system background load the CPU and this cause short system freeze.
    Possibly you have installed a lot of different applications and therefore its mostly impossible to say what software could be the troublemaker at the other hand it would be interesting to know if you ever try to reinstall the system and to clean the HDD.
    A new OS installation might be the key.

  • Sound distortion after virtual sound installation on Satellite A80

    My sound distorts after i install virtual sound, it is driving me mad. I downloaded all the toshiba drivers.

    Hello
    Usually the sound should be much better using this tool. I can really not explain why this happen. Try to reinstall sound driver.
    The unit is delivered with WXP Home and I assume that you try to install your own OS, probably professional edition. All drivers and tools should work properly with WXP professional too. Please check the installation instructions that can be also downloaded from Toshiba download site (http://support.toshiba-tro.de/tools/Satellite/sa80/win-xp/install-xp-na.zip). All this stuff must be installed in particular order.
    Bye

  • Satellite U500-11C fan sometimes doesn't start running Win 7 64bit

    Hello,
    I have two Toshiba Satellite U500-11C under Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bits. Sometimes, after a new Windows start, fans don't start and just run a few seconds sometimes. When this happens, the CPU temperature gets very hot (don't know exactly how much). I've found a way to get back to a normal behavious by just unplugging the AC cable and replug it just one second or two after.
    Must two laptops have the latest Bios and drivers from Toshiba. In some way, it is the same behavious as under Linux.
    With those experiences, I come to think that Toshiba Laptop are not well managing correctly ACPI Fans and tempartures. Is it really a fatality ??
    Hope this feedback can help...

    Hello Tonny,
    Yes, I think like you that when I have this fan issue, it means that BIOS feature doesn't work correclty on regulating temperature with variable fan speeds, and finally, it is the overheating security which makes the job. When using Linux, I've seen that ACPI temperature levels are not correctly defined or published by the BIOS : Fans are not expected to be launched before the CPU burns at more than 108C !
    What surprises me is that this is a bug in the BIOS that has been living here since the first BIOS versions, and that my researches on various forums show that this Satellite U500-11C is not the only one to have fan issues from Toshiba Laptops on both Linux and Windows.
    That said, I don't understand what Toshiba tries to do when making special BIOS versions, instead of using more standard ones with correct ACPI functions programmed inside. Other laptop manufacturers are more "standard" in their approach, and give users more satisfaction on everyday use.
    In the same idea, I've finally removed most of Toshiba applications on one of my two Satellite U500-11C and it runs much better : lower power consumption, less heating, more responsiveness, ...
    Hope this helps...

  • Satellite U500 - Bluetooth issues BT Monitor vs. Bt Stack

    Hello everyone,
    My wife's machine is a Satellite U500-10L PSU5EE-002003AR, now with Windows 7 Professional 64-bit (originally with Vista pre-installed, later with W7Pro 32-bit.)
    Now, I've always had various issues with Bluetooth on this machine, and it's the only machine I've ever had Bluetooth issues with, mostly having to do with internet connectivity via mobile phones.
    Most usually, I connect to the internet using Sony Ericsson PC Suite and a Bluetooth-controlled Sony Ericsson mobile phone (currently and Elm, and occasionally a Hazel or a C702.) This setup has always worked flawlessly on every other machine I've used, such as my Getac B300, the old HP Compaq 6710b given to me by my previous employer for a couple of years, and even my untrustworthy old Thinkpad T42 (now deceased), and my mother's ancient Macbook. With those machines, I've never had any trouble connecting to any of the phones or to the internet, with no drops, connection issues or any other issues.
    Not so with this U500. I'm writing this while connected through PC Suite, with Bluetooth Monitor 4 as the hardware controller. The connection is intermittent at best, usually unreliable, and sometimes downright impossible. Sometimes it works flawlessly for days on end, and sometimes it just refuses to work. Generally, though, I get a connection more often than not, but the issue is annoying nevertheless.
    Now, I tried a different approach: I uninstalled Bluetooth Monitor and SE PC Suite, installed the Toshiba Bluetooth Stack and tried to connect to the internet directly through the BT Stack. I paired the Elm to the U500 successfully from the BT Stack control panel and managed to dial the connection, so far so good. But I had no internet access whatsoever. Now, the phone shows that it's actually connected, and so does the BT Stack control panel and the Windows 7 connectivity monitor in the system tray, but there's no actual access to the internet (I only get the little yellow triangle with the +no internet access+ message, but the phone is dialed in.)
    So, I tried reinstalling PC Suite (with BT Stack present), and things got even worse: now the BT connection itself between PC Suite and the phone is only sporadic and intermittent, but sometimes it just works well enough to actually get a connection (albeit an unreliable one.)
    So now I've uninstalled the BT Stack, reinstalled BT Monitor and went back to using PC Suite for dialing, and the same issues I mentioned earlier still persist.
    Now, my two questions are these: a. why didn't I get any internet access with BT Stack, even though the phone was actually dialed in to the connection? and b. assuming the internet access issue is resolved, would I possibly get a more reliable connection (i.e. one that doesn't suddenly decide to drop every so often) with BT Stack instead of the PC Suite/BT Monitor setup?
    Thanks in advance.

    Just an update: I've found that as long as there is a direct line of sight between the phone and the U500, there would be no issues. The Bluetooth connectivity issue only starts to appear whenever there's something - anything - in the way between the two.
    Let me clarify. Now I'm sitting at my desk, with the U500 right in front of me, while the mobile phone is hanging from a nail in the wall above me and to the left. Now that there's a direct line of sight between the phone and the U500, I have no issues at all.
    Now, let's say I take the U500 off the desk, put in on my lap, and turn my back to the phone. In this case, my head and torso would be in the way of a direct line of sight between the two, and the stability of the connection begins to deteriorate, and it becomes very unreliable - sometimes even dropping the Bluetooth connection altogether (Sony Ericsson PC Suites goes all gray on me!)
    Here's another example: there's a printer sitting on the desk right to my left. Now, if I stack up a bunch of magazines on top of the printer, high enough to be within the line of sight, I will start having issues!
    So, I'm pretty sure it's a Bluetooth connectivity issue, and has nothing to do with the internet connection or firewall. It's clearly a hardware quality issue.
    By contrast, I never experienced any such issue with my B300, the HP Compaq 6710b I had earlier, or even with my now-deceased ThinkPad T42. Hell, I might as well have gone into a different room entirely and still maintained a Bluetooth connection with those three machines! With the Toshiba, though, as soon as I carry the thing out the door - which is about four feet from the phone - the connection is gone!

  • Satellite U500-1F5: eco and FN buttons don't work after BIOS update

    Hi everyone,
    I hope i can find a solution for my problems in here.
    I bought a new Toshiba Satellite U500 (PSU9ME),
    I am updating my laptop regularly whenever i receive alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.
    Last week I received an alert to updat the BIOS and i did it. since then i noticed the following problems:
    1. eco utility is not working, and when i tried to uninstall it it says (BIOS unsupported)
    2. the on screen funtion buttons that appear on the top of the screen when you press the Fn button does not apear anymore
    3. the touchpad lock and unlock button does not work and even pressing Fn+F9 doesnot lock it
    I hope u can give me an answer regarding my problems,
    I already downloaded the latest updates for the eco and value added packege from toshiba site and installed them,
    BUT
    didnt solve any of my prob
    still eco utility is not working. The msg (unsupported BIOS), appear when i run the update.
    The function buttons bar on the top of the screen not working ( even after i uninstall the toshiba value package and re-install the latest one) and the touch back lock/unlock button also is not working.
    I hope Toshiba can find me a solution, coz I dont have the time to go the service center
    Model U500-1F5 PSU9ME00D00XAR
    Windows 7 (64)
    Thanx in advance

    Hello
    At first just one comment:
    *I am updating my laptop regularly whenever i receive alert through TEMPRO or Toshiba service center.*
    Thats nice but definitely not necessary. When the system runs well, don't touch or change anything. Maybe sounds stupid now but I recommend you to remove TEMPRO from the system. Believe me you don't need it. I have 2 years old Satellite A300 and still original BIOS. It runs perfectly and I don't want to make risk and change anything. Since last month I have Satellite U500-1EX and will do the same. Tempro is already removed and I am happy with factory settings.
    All you have done is OK but at least you can try to reinstall whole OS now using HDD recovery option (F8 at start-up) to see if everything will works well again. sorry but if this will not help I think you need BIOS downgrade to old version.

  • Satellite U500 - The volume buttons do not work

    Hello
    I just bought a Toshiba Satellite U500 two days ago, and already having problems :(
    It has a touch sensitive control buttons, which includes the eco utility, media buttons, and volume control (+ and -)
    The volume buttons do not work, and sometimes the computer freezes upon touching them. Once I touch the -, it keeps turning the volume down until it reaches zero, and even if I turn it up using windows, it returns to zero (like if the button is still being pressed). The + one doesn't work at all.
    Please help. Any way to reinstalle their drivers ?
    The only solution I found is to disable them using HWSetup...

    Solved.
    I just had to uninstall the Toshiba Common Modules, and reinstalled them. It worked.
    I hope it doesn't happen again.

  • Music sounds distorted

    Ok, so someone stole my 30gb video ipod. I was able to get a 60gb video ipod from a friend. I plugged the 60 gb into my itunes that i was using for my old ipod and transferred all of my songs onto the 60gb. However, now when I play songs on my 60gb the songs sound distorted but they weren't that way on the 30gb....
    So, is it a problem with my itunes (trying to load too much at one time), or is it a problem with my computer (computer too slow to handle all that activity at once) or is it a problem with the ipod itself?

    Sometimes iTunes won't be able to handle a lot of music (50 or more) so try not to transfer big hunks of music. Also check to make sure the EQ isnt on like Bass Booster of something, set it to like off or flat. This is not a problem with your computer. If that doesn't work, it could be a problem with your headphones. Sorry to hear that happened to you.

  • Sound distorted after exporting, but is fine in Premiere

    Hi,
    The project sounds fine in premiere, (and yes, I checked to make sure it doesn't clip above 0db), but when I export it as an mpg, the mic'd track sounds distorted / a bit garbled.
    The really curious thing is that sometimes if I export just the first minute, the problem track sounds fine...but for longer clips or the full movie, the track sounds distorted...including the same section at the beginning which sounded fine as a shorter clip.
    Now I am using the dynamics effect on the problem track, but (1) it has worked fine in other projects, with exact same settings (2) it sounds fine in premiere (3) it isn't clipping according to the premiere level monitors.
    Does anyone know how I can fix this?
    Screen shot of export settings:

    I should also add that I am able to export the entire movie without distortion if I turn the dynamics effect off...However, the track really does need this effect, so I'd love to know why it's causing the problem. Again the stumper of why the effect sounds fine in a short clip, but that same section sounds garbled if it extends to a longer clip.

  • Satellite U500 - High pitched noise

    Hi,
    I have a Toshiba Satellite U500 and the system itself seems to be working perfectly well. About a month ago, my laptop began to make a noise, an unbearable constant high pitched noise. The only time that the noise stops is when the laptop is off and for a very brief period when windows starts up.
    The noise seems to come from the speakers, but it continues whether I mute the speakers or not*.

    Hi
    > How to disconnect HDD to check what you suggest.
    You can only remove it from the HDD bay the HDD bay is placed at the bottom of the unit and you have to remove the screw which secures the HDD bay cover.
    Then you could remove the HDD carefully
    But without HDD you are not able to boot into windows and as you already said you have discovered the issue. It seems to come from the speakers and its related to sound card.
    Maybe you should update the sound card driver and BIOS
    Otherwisce try to get in contact with an local ASP!!!

  • Satellite U500 - Disabling signal which appears pressing Multimedia buttons

    every time i touch the volume - or + on my Toshiba Satellite U500, a loud and irritating high pitched beep signals that the button has beem pressed.
    how do I turn this sound effect off?

    Hi
    Im not sure if you can disable this.
    From my knowledge its not related to Windows sounds.
    Therefore I dont think that you could disable this in Win 7 sound personalization settings.
    I think you should take a look into the BIOS for some options..

  • Satellite U500 - Copy process is very slow

    Hi friends,
    I'm using Satellite U500-1f5, for last 2 months. It is core i5 with Windows 7. Still the copying process is very slow and some times booting is little bit slower.
    Can anyone post a valid answer to resolve this problem?

    Hey mate,
    Sounds like that you have installed a lot of software that slows down the performance of your notebook.
    So which programs you have installed?
    Theoretically it could also be caused due a virus or trojan. You should check your notebook for viruses using a good antivirus program like AntiVir.
    Try also to defragment the HDD. If you install/uninstall many programs, you should defragment the HDD from time to time. You can use the integrated Windows defragmentation tool.
