Toshiba laptop hardware NO SOUND issue - I've tried everything!!! PLS help!

I have a Toshiba Satellite tablet laptop Model R25-S3513 model... the sound initially started acting weird, sounding funny like skipping, or fluttering (?) eventually laptop internal speakers stopped working all together.
I bought some head phones, they worked fine via head phone jack on front, for about 6 months... and then that went south too... I bought some external speakers to try on it, they work on my friends laptop, but not mine! Now the volume control won't even appear on screen anymore!
I've un-installed and reinstalled, updated drivers, rolled back the driver, went through the troubleshooting scenarios to no avail... and I am SO frustrated!
I have read that my laptop has an integrated sound card - does this mean I can't replace it?!!
I have read that I can enhance my sound by using a PCMCIA sound card or a USB sound card - but can I really enhance what isn't working in the first place??? What do I need to do here? I appreciate anyone's help at all!

I have this same issue. U205-s5034. Sound went out after an update to Windows XP. Tried many things, yet nothing worked. So I did a custom install of Windows 7, including all the new drivers. Still no sound. No device in sound Device Manager either.
Is it possible the integrated sound has died? I have tried installing the drivers in many ways, including from safe mode. Same results always. Just a speaker with an X and the note that there is no audio device.
Is it possible to replace just the sound hardware or is the fact that it is integrated mean I must replace the motherboard? I understand I could purchase a sound card? Any suggestions?

Since updating to iOS 6, my 4th gen iPod touch, and my 3rd gen iPad has sound in and out. Sometimes it's on, and then all of a sudden, no sound. I've tried everything from restarting to fully resetting each one starting fresh, but nothing. Please help.

I have exactly the same problem. I have tried almost everything and I am nowhere near an Apple shop as I am working in Africa.
Did you manage to find a solution? Help please if possible. Regards Az

Absurd sound issue... most troubleshooting not helping!

I haven't used or downloaded any new programs that may be infecting or affecting my sound... I can watch movies and listen to music via my speakers on my HP pavilion laptop. I have been playing the online game WoW for a few years with no issues. As of the past few days my sound upon booting my pc and game work. moments later everything will go silent. after selecting and un-selecting various options in game do i get sound back. This band-aid of sorts doesnt work for long as it gets silent yet again. Turning up or down the volume sometimes triggers this effect as well. Another problem that has occured is that when i plug my headphones and mic into there respectable jacks it used to transfer all sound directly to the earpiece... for a few days i was getting sound out of both headphones/speakers. Now i don't hear anything from my headphones and the problem persists. Is this directly related to my sound card as i have tried everything to do with the game and its options and im continually running into this wall. Plz help!

Hi,
1. Post your part number (p/n) . You'll find it at the bottom of the laptop on a sticker, which looks like this.
2. Which system are you using?

My toshiba laptop which had all my iTunes music and everything else on it was stolen. How can I get it back or am I out of luck?

My toshiba laptop that had all my itunes music along with everything else was stolen. Is there a way to get it back or is it gone forever?

You can re-download all purchased iTunes content, except ringtones, for free:

As kb1951 states, unless this phone was purchased directly from Apple, it is not officially unlocked. In the US, only Apple sells officially unlocked iPhones. The message you got generally means your phone was hacked to unlock it...jailbroken...Apple's servers have detected such & are preventing your phone from activating...there's nothing wrong with the activation servers.
You'll need a sim card from the carrier your phone is locked to in order to activate it. If you don't know what carrier, you'll have to call AppleCare in the US to determine this info. Be aware, US carriers will not authorize official unlocking unless you are a customer that used the phone on their network. Thus, there is most likely no way for you to get this phone officially unlocked.
Good luck.

Pc -- laptop music transfer-going to uni in 48 hrs,pls help!

Because I've got a new laptop I need to transfer the music stored on my PC to it. Ordinarily I would just use my iPod but its had to be sent off for repair, and problems with delivery mean it won't get until after I have left- hence me transferring it manually until my iPod is fwded to me by home. Crux of the matter is music files on my laptop are behaving very oddly!!!!!!
I'm saving my iTunes files onto a USB, then inserting that into the laptop, saving them onto a file on the laptop, and then using the 'Add' File to Library' option (under 'File' in iTunes)
But then when I remove the USB (which by this point has nothing on, because I have 'sent' its contents to a file on my laptop) I get an exclamation sign next to my music files i've just entered. when I select the option to search for them (after they haven't played) I can find them, and they do play- but I have to do this for every single song!!!
does anyone know why my iTunes is doing this or how I can remedy it????
many thanks for ANY help- I desperately need it as I'm leaving for uni very soon and really don't want to be without my beloved music files!
j
p. s. my laptop isn't connected to the internet if thats any help...

Hi, Jenny, and welcome to the Apple Discussions.
In iTunes, go to edit/prefs/advanced, then hit 'copy to itunes folder when adding to library.'
Then try again

Sound issue with iPhone 4 playback. Help

I'm using my iPhone 4 as an iPod for the first time and for some reason it has a strange echo effect that makes the sound muffled and completely silences parts of songs. Is there a setting to fix this?
I'm drawing blanks

If you are using the headphones try pushing them in a little more. I had this issue too and since I have a bumper on my phone I figured it wasn't all the way in.

G60-458DX Windows 8 upgrade NO SOUND...have tried "everything!"

Greetings,
I have an older G60-458DX notebook that I upgraded to Windows 8 64-bit.
I have lost sound from both the internal speakers and anything plugged into the headphone jack. I can see levels fluxuate on the taskbar volume control when I move the slider.
I have tried the following with no success amoung other things:
Used Windows troubleshooting feature in Windows 8
Disables and enables the drivers for sound device as well as tried to upgrade the drivers (already the most current)
Checked all sound software access points
Some of the research I read indicated that HP was not going to support older hardware with driver updates for Windows 8. Is there a workaround for this issue? Could I used a USB external soundcard and bi-pass the non-fuctioning drivers?
This is my wife's computer and while she likes Windows 8, she NEEDS SOUND. Thank you!

Brett,
You are "far and away up the soundless creek" and I offer you a paddle:
Running Drivers and Software in Compatibility Mode by AttackOfZaq
There is a hope this will work to bring sound where there is now silence.
It is possible that it may turn out to be a very small paddle in a very large creek.
Good Luck!

I need to sync a new desktop to my laptop and android device. I have tried everything in your help section and cannot make it happen

I just got a new Comp and my old one tanked. I am trying to recover my firefox setting and book marks and such. I have tried doing the sync.... but it doesnt seem to want to. I am trying to sync it with my spare laptop. What I really want to do is sync it with my old laptop whose hard drive I actually had installed as a backup drive in the new system. Its complicated. I actually have the old comp synced to my android phone... but can not get it to sync with the new comp either. Its making me nuts, I have so many book marks and to add them all by hand is going to suck!!! I got through firefox's walkthrough, and it says to go to the Firefox button and select Options, then select the Sync Panel... that is the first problem! there is not "Sync Panel" on either the new or the old comp. It does not exist. I can select "set up Sync" but that is not under options, it is separate... and get the choice Create new account, or I have an account... then I can either enter my account info and a recovery key (which i dont have and cannot find) or I can get a 12 digit code to enter to sync the other device. problem is, both computers generate a code, when one is supposed to have a blank space so I can enter the sync code. Some times I get the blank space on the comp that I am trying to sync the old one too... and I enter it and nothing happens. HELP.

Thankyou. I actually figured it out partially myself. I simply opened a new Firefox sync account so that I could sync my backup laptop to my new desk top. The issue here is that I am dealing with 4 devices.
1.'''Original Laptop''' (which is no longer functional, though I have the harddrive installed as a backup drive in my new tower... it was cleaned of all bugs prior to install)
2. '''My backup Laptop'''. I have been using this device for the last 3 weeks. Was unable to sync it with my old one before it went down, so I have since added many bookmarks as such to the onboard firefox browser.
3. '''My android phone''' (Samsung Note 3... top of the line current device) to which I actually have the bookmarks from my '''original laptop ''' synced. That sync was on my now old sync account
4. '''My New Desktop''' Just out of the box tonight. I have now synced my backup laptop to this device.
The reason I started a new Sync account with a different email address is because I could not get anything to work as the Firefox instructions said to. So once I setup a new one everything worked perfectly as far as syncing from the backup laptop to the desktop. I finally was actually shown the previously mythical "Sync Pannel" which would not show before.
My question is this now:
I see that one of the options when sycing allows you to blend the saved data with both devices (assuming that both have bookmarks and browsing history etc.)
I need to be able to add in the sync data that is stored on my android to the other devices, most importantly the desktop. Now that this data is in two separate sync accounts... is that possible?
I had issues with both the desktop and the backup laptop being able to log into my old sync account even after I was successful in resetting the password. I tried to use the recovery key once I reset the PW and i copied it exactly and even regenerated a new one. The sync system would not accept the copy and pasted exact copy of the recovery key, it kept saying invalid key?
I would really like to get my sync data from my android to sync and blend with the new sync account as I have many many bookmarks on the android that were on my old laptop.
I hope that this makes sense... It is very tough to explain!
Will appreciate all help.

I cannot get my sound to work. I have checked the system prefemces and nothing shows up, and nothing is editible. I have rebooted and restarted it one million times, in safe mode too. When ever I try to adjust the volume a crossed out cirlce appears. I have no idea what people say about a red light, but I've checked and I cannot see one. I don't know what to do. Help? Thanks so much in advance.

Performance issue in ECC 6.0, pls help!

Dear all,
I have a join statement which works fine with the same data in 4.6 C but in the upgraded system it is too slow.
SELECT PA0105USRID PA0001BUKRS PA0001~GSBER
   INTO TABLE I_pa0001
FROM PA0105 INNER JOIN PA0001 ON PA0001PERNR = PA0105PERNR
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_apqi
   WHERE PA0001~ENDDA EQ '99991231'
   AND PA0001~BUKRS IN S_bukrs
AND PA0001~GSBER IN S_GSBER
   AND PA0105~SUBTY EQ '0001'
   and pa0105~usrid = i_apqi-creator
AND PA0105~ENDDA EQ '99991231'.
Table i_apqi has a list of user ids. This is taking around 6 minutes which is too much. Any ideas to improve this?
Will be happy to reward points for the answers
Regards
Veena

Hi,
I think you could use this code.
IF i_apqi[] IS NOT INITIAL.
SELECT PA0105~USRID PA0001~BUKRS PA0001~GSBER
INTO TABLE I_pa0001
FROM PA0105 INNER JOIN PA0001 ON PA0001~PERNR = PA0105~PERNR
FOR ALL ENTRIES IN i_apqi
WHERE pa0105~usrid = i_apqi-creator
AND PA0001~ENDDA EQ '99991231'
AND PA0001~BUKRS IN S_bukrs
AND PA0001~GSBER IN S_GSBER
AND PA0105~SUBTY EQ '0001'
AND PA0105~ENDDA EQ '99991231'
%_HINTS ORACLE 'FIRST_ROWS'.
ENDIF.
But your table i_apqi must have than first row creator
