Sound problems with Satellite L505D-S5965

I have a couple of problems with the sound on this laptop.
1. Even when I have all the sound configurations I can find turned all the way up, the sound is still very quiet. For most things that play sound the green meter bar only goes up about a 1/3 of the way to the max level.
2. When I plug in external speakers, I only get sound coming out of the right speaker. The speakers are brand new and were tested on another computer and worked fine, but on my laptop, only one speaker works.

Hi again
I have downloaded the Realtek sound driver from the Tosh page and unzipped it.
(I have chosen the driver for Vista!!! I suppose you use Vista???)
There is a folder called sound. Access this folder and run Setup.exe
But before you will start this procedure you could access the device manager (control panel -> computer -> device manager) and choose sound, video, and game controller. There you have to mark realtek AC and click on uninstall and reboot the unit.
After this sound driver removing you should start the new driver installation described above. (setup.exe)

Various problems with Satellite L505D-S5983

After getting a virus on my laptop I simply decided it would be best to reset the computer to factory settings.
So I pressed restart, then F8, and following that I followed the steps to factory reset my laptop.
Though it took the laptop about 15 hours to restart and reload everything? (I didn't do any kind of recovery, so it's as if I just took it out of the box, it did it's thing where it loaded it for the "first use")
So obviously I had to get some sleep within that 15 hours I had done this reset at night, so I wasn't aware of what it was doing? When I got on it the next morning it had finished the process for the first use. Then something went wrong when I had been on it and it froze so I turned it off. When I turned it back on it kept trying to do the "first use" process again.
Then at some point it stopped. So I was able to connect to the internet and download google chrome and such.
Then more problems became evident.
The first one being the font is blurry. Now I'm not sure if it's because the screen is rectangular as opposed to monitor I'm currently using which is square.
The next one is a little more aggrivating, whenever I try to log on on its regular mode, I'll click on my account (the admin account, the only account on the laptop.)
When I click on it, it tells me that my accound has been disabled and that I need to contact the system admin - which I thought I was.
So now, after going through my user accounts when I'm on safe mode with networking, I can't find anything to fix that.
So now, apparently I've gone on safe mode too frequently where if I try to open chrome, my blue screen pops up indicating a crash, and it restarts.
So hopefully this is all fixable?
Thank you for the help.

If it is taking that long to recover and you still have issues I would use your recovery media that you should make if you have not did so already. As Toshiba suggest it is best to make the recovery media when the laptop is new because it can become infected by a virus just like your main operating system.
You should not interrupt the recovery, meaning keep power supply plugged in and don't force a restart. If something happened to interrupt the recovery you can just recover to factory settings again except use the copy you previously made.
If you still have issues you may have other problems.

Sound problems with Satellite A100 (PSAA8)

I am continually having sound problems with the laptop. Whilst I hear the windows start up noise and beeps, I cannot hear any sound from things like CDs, iTunes, Media Player - in fact an error message will always come up. In Media Player the error message "Windows Media Player cannot play the file because there is a problem with your sound device......." comes up. I have a the standard pre-installed Realtek sound thing on my laptop. I have tried downloading a newer driver from the Toshiba support centre, but I don't know what to do with the zip file. Also in Control Panel, Sounds, everything is greyed-out.
Hope someone can help cos I am going nuts with this :-)
Thanks

Satellite L505D-S5965 got shutdown, hibernate and sleep problem after Windows 7 upgrade

I bought my Satellite L505D-S5965 last August. Everything worked fine on Vista. Last month I upgraded it to Windows 7 (Home premium, build 7600), then it started having problem to shutdown, hibernate and sleep. Half of the time, it will shutdown, hibernate or sleep just fine, however, the other half of the time it just never turns off.
For shutdown, it will go to the shutdown screen for 10 minutes until the a blue screen comes up, telling something about windows experience a crash and dumping memory, then it restarts itself.
For hibernation and sleep, it will go to the normal black screen but the hard disk light never turns off (i.e. the hardisk would keep running forever).
It will be a big help if someone can help me with that, I just don't want to keep doing the "hard turn off".

Hey thats great posting and detailed, thank you! :)
Im wondering how you found it out.
But I want to add something: Before you do or change something in Windows registry, make a backup of it. In worst case you restore the old Windows registry. Just to be sure ;)

I have sounds problems with iOS 7

I have sounds problems with iOS 7. I can not hear my music, all the apps have no sounds. Only when I ask Siri has sound but it's too loud and awful. I found 2 errors with I ask to Siri what things she can do in Spanish the is an error and one word or If I ask who am I? She said that I have to go to settings and indicate her who I am but I already have that configured. And I try to configure again just in case, I do the same question and she still doesn't who I am.

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

Is there a fix yet for the no sound problem with lion on the iMac without having to restart every time I switch the computer on?

Try booting in Safe Mode by holding the the shift key immediately after powering on your system. Safe boot mode will for a directory check of your startup volume, then load only the required kernal extensions (kext files), and deletes some cache files. Once the system boots into Safe Mode you can simply restart the system to see whether the issue has been resolved.
If you still have the issue try resetting the SMC by shutting down the system and disconnecting the power cord for ~15 seconds, then reconnecting the power cord. Next, reset the parameter RAM (PRAM) by holding down the option-option-P-R keys after powering ON the system. Wait until the iMac restarts twice, then let the system boot normally.

Really weird sound problem with rhythmbox[SOLVED]

Well, I can't find anything on this, so i'm posting it here. I have no sound problems with alsa or other gstreamer apps(totem, banshee plays sound just fine). But when I try to play something in rhythmbox it just does not work. Mostly there is no sound, but every couple of seconds you can hear a distorted sound that is suposed to be playing for a moment. Rhythmbox does not issue any warnings or errors when launched from terminal. Is this some kind of bug?

Sound problems with movie

I just purchased the movie "Overboard" in HD. The movie video plays ok, but the sound keeps going in and out.
I don't understand why this is happening. My music plays ok and I'm not having any other sound problems with my
computer. I am running Itunes on a Windows 8.1 desktop computer (Gateway).
I couldn't figure out how to re-download it or repair it.
If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it!
Thanks!

Sound problems with my Visio

Hi, I have read that people are having sound problems with their Vision M players, hissing etc.
I wonder if anyone has had the problem I have - I cannot alter the volume! When I plug in either headphones or portable speakers into the M, using the touch pad has no effect on the volume. If I unplug it the touch pad then alters (or appears to) the volume - judging by the scale on the right of the screen. Plug the phones back in again and I get the same one level of volume.
Also, the screen goes blank when I plug in phones or speakers.
I am an MP3 player virgin and have no idea if the fault is mine or not.
I bought my Vision M from Amazon, who very quickly sent me a replacement when I contacted them - even before I had returned the original. But the replacement has the same problems.
Any comments would be welcome.
John

woggydog, thats what happens when your plugging outputs into the Audio/Video out socket of the player using the dock or supplied connector... it goes into line Out Mode, which cuts out audio from changing since the amplifier would be able to control this on a sound system.
The one that shouldn't do this is the one on the top right of the player.

Sound problems with Portege M600 using WXP SP3

I have had on-going sound problems with my laptop and feel so frustrated - please help!
I have downloaded the sound driver (abt a million times - and tried uninstalling then reinstalling) - and repeatedly get no volume icon on the desk top and a message saying "no sound driver can be found".
I did manage to fix it once - when i had WIndows Vista installed - by finding some obscure patch - but this time around - no solutions.
Can anyone help - it is so frustrating!!!!

The mentioned patches are part of Win XP SP2 & SP3
So ensure that all service packs are installed.
Then go to device manager and delete the High Definition Audio Controller (in system devices) and additionally delete all devices from Audio, Video and Game controller section.
Then reboot the notebook.
Wait until the device would be recognized again and then install the sound driver!

No TV sound - Problem with Pulseaudio and Gnome

Hi Community!
Since January 2013 I got big problems with the sound of my tvcard. The card is a Sundtek Media TV Pro. But after all the problems have nothing to to with the card itself!
So far I found out, that the problem is with Pulseaudio.
- Sound works under Windows on same PC.
- Sound don't work under Arch - not with tvtime, not with vlc, etc.
- Problem occurs even on a new installed system with the Arch-2013-02-01 install medium.
cat /etc/mediasrv.log
[1033] Pulseaudio connect reported an error (6 - Connection refused)
[1033] select error() in audio processor (can be caused because of pulseaudio) (Interrupted system call)
After setting up a new Arch installation with just xorg-server, gnome, tvtime and the sundtek driver from AUR I run journalctl -b:
Feb 10 16:25:15 hightower pulseaudio[636]: [pulseaudio] pid.c:
Daemon already running.
With sudo journalctl | grep 'Feb 10 16:2' I get the following output:
Feb 10 16:25:01 hightower rtkit-daemon[489]: Successfully made thread 488 of process 488 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by '120' high priority at nice level -11.

Feb 10 16:28:55 hightower pulseaudio[997]: [pulseaudio] main.c: Start des Daemons fehlgeschlagen.
So, if I understand right, pulseaudio is alreade started by the rtkit-daemon and gnome couldn't start it again.
At https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/30926 I found a hint concerning /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio.desktop and /etc/xdg/autostart/pulseaudio-kde.desktop.
After removing them from /etc/xdg/autostart and running journalctl -b there are no more errors.
With sudo journalctl | grep 'pulseaudio' I get:
sudo journalctl | grep 'Feb 10 17:4' | grep 'pulse*'
Feb 10 17:41:42 hightower rtkit-daemon[485]: Successfully made thread 484 of process 484 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by '120' high priority at nice level -11.
Feb 10 17:41:55 hightower rtkit-daemon[485]: Successfully made thread 625 of process 625 (/usr/bin/pulseaudio) owned by '1000' high priority at nice level -11.
In my opinion all looks ok! I also checked the channels with the alsamixer and it looks good, too.
So I ran vlc v4l2://:dev=/dev/video0:width=720:height=576:tuner-frequency=510750:adev=/dev/null:standard=255 - but still no sound.
With cat /var/log/mediasrv.log I checked the drivers logfile:

I started tvtime again. This time I ran rm -rf ~/.config/pulse/ and killall pulseaudio to kill the Pulseaudio server. I instantly got a loud noise out of my speakers.
I closed tvtime and re-opened it. And there it was: TV SOUND OUT OF MY SPEAKERS!
But now, when I run pavucontrol I get:
Connection to PulseAudio failed. Automatic retry in 5s.
In this cas this is likely because PULSE_SERVER in the Environment/X11 root Windows Properties or default-server in client.conf is misconfigured.
This situation can also arrise when PulseAudio crashed and left stale details in the X11 Root Windows.
If this is the case, then PuseAudio should autospawn again, or if this is not configured you sould run start-pulseaudio-x11 manually.
I got the information from Sundtek, that Pulseaudio should not be started as system service. Instead, every user should have an own Pulseaudio daemon and that PA was concepted this way. But they don't know how it is implemented in ArchLinux.
I also don't know it exactly. So the question to all you ArchLinu pro's:
How is PA implemented in Arch? And how can I sustainable solve my problem?
Thank you for your time and help!

There is just one more thing I found out.
After logging into Gnome and running ps aux | grep pulse I get:
rebel 727 0.7 0.2 444316 10288 ? S<l 03:02 0:00 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

rebel 843 0.0 0.0 17396 1184 pts/0 D+ 03:03 0:00 grep pulse
To get the sound to work I run:
rm -rf .config/pulse/
killall pulseaudio
killall -9 pulseaudio
I again run ps aux | grep pulse
rebel 4016 4.2 0.2 510124 11528 ? Sl 03:06 0:02 /usr/bin/pulseaudio --start --log-target=syslog

I can recognize that the STATs have changed. Maybe this can help to solve the problem?
