Windows 8 Upgrade on Satellite P100-160 - No Sound

Hello everyone.
I own a Satellite P100-160 {http://www.toshiba.co.uk/discontinued-products/satellite-p100-160/}
I decided to upgrade the machine from Windows Vista to Windows 8.
The machine works o.k. apart from the fact there is no longer any sound.
It seems that windows 8 does not have the correct sound drivers.
Can anyone help me out with a solution?
The laptop is in good working order, and apart from no sound.
Thanks
colesdav.

Hello, thanks for your replies so far.
Just in case anyone else out there has tried to move to Windows 8 on an older laptop I will tell you
What I have tried that did NOT work.

None of the above suggestions / drivers worked.
The drivers all did install but ... no sound from the Laptop.
I accept this is an old laptop but it is in mint condition.
Here is my solution to date.
I bought a Sound Blaster X-fi Go! Pro external USB Sound card from Maplin U.K. yesterday.
It works and the sound quality is great!
I am currently using an external speaker ... but I may try to install the USB sound card inside the
Laptop and see if I can rewire the speakers ...
Here is a link to the USB Card.

By the way I have managed to upgrade 3 of my 4 laptops from Windows Vista /7 to Windows 8.
Here is what worked with comments.
Toshiba Satellite P100-160 - Vista to Windows 8. Only problem = No sound Driver.
Toshiba Satellite L300D - Vista -> Windows 7 - Windows 8. No problems at all.
HP G62 - Windows 7 -> Windows 8. No problems seen yet.
The only machine I cannot upgrade is an HP Envy 15-1060ea due to notebook specific ATI Radeon 4830 Driver.
Thanks

LAN not working since installing Windows XP on Satellite P100-160

Hi,
I purchased a P100-160 (PSPAAE - 01D00UEN) with Vista pre-installed. Couldn't stand Vista so I have just installed Windows XP.
However, I cannot get my LAN to work properly. That is, I can get it to work with the 'Cardbus Ethernet Card' plugged in, but i cannot get it to work via the RJ-45 slot!
Does anyone have any idea what I can do/how I can rectify this.
Many thanks
Yvonne

Hi
Thanks for your reply.
As far as I am aware I have downloaded all the drivers. I have checked both of the sites that you indicated, I have downloaded the drivers but there does not seem to be a 'setup' icon/file within the extrated files. There are 'unistaller' files but not a setup one - anyone have any ideas????
Do you suggest that I install all the drivers from scatch and see what happens? Any other suggetions would be very much appreciated.
Best regards
Yvonne

Satellite P100-160 - Keyboard fault

I have a Satellite P100-160 which was working fine but has gradually become unreliable. Initially I blamed PKZIP v9 since it was the last thing installed before the system started to go downhill so I uninstalled it. But alas it was not to blame. It looks now like a h/w fault. I have a couple of problems related to this.
When the keyboard locks up it is stone dead. Nothing. No keys at all work. Not even the CapsLock, NumLock or power On/Off button (you can hold it down forever). Typically after a failure I have to close the system down using the mouse, but at the last gasp the mouse pointer also freezes and then I have to let the battery run right down to regain control (wasting a couple of hours). I am reluctant to switch off by removing the battery.
Is there a system reset button hiding somewhere? Or somewhere to prod it with a sharp stick?
The problem is clearly getting worse. BIOS reports no faults. After a full power down by running out of battery it usually restarts OK with the usual warnings and will run for a while before the keyboard locks out again. But this last time the keyboard was stone dead from the very instant of bootup. I could not move the cursor on the SAFE mode boot screen. So after the timeout period it tried to boot Vista. This got as far as having a very faint "(c) Microsoft Corporation" visible in the lower middle of an otherwise black screen and stopped. It is currently sat waiting for the battery to go flat again.
Ideally I would like a few suggestions on other tricks to try and especially on a quicker way of regaining control when the thing goes belly up that is faster than leaving it running until battery failure. I can keep it low on battery but it is getting really frustrating since the thing will usually work for just long enough to recharge its battery and then die horribly losing all keyboard input again. System diagnostics find nothing wrong up to the time it stops working. There doesn't appear to be a standard external old PS2 keyboard connector on it.
You can still run programs when the keyboard is dead in the water provided you don't want to type in any text. And the PC is visible across the network - except in the most recent incident where it didn't get as far as starting Vista properly. And may never do so again unless I can plug a working keyboard into it.
I couldn't spot anyone with similar problems in these forums, but would be grateful for any tips on what else to try. I would particularly like suggestions to make fault finding a bit quicker now that the fault is recurrent. It is under warrantee but it would be inconvenient to be without it for any length of time.
Regards,
Martin Brown

It is a strange sort of lockout. I don't have a USB keyboard, but I have a hunch that if I connected one it would work. I may get a chance to try this next weekend.
I have established that I can still type stuff if rather tediously by using cut & paste from the CharacterMap utility. This is actually useful since it allows work in progress to be manually "saved as" new filename shortly after the keyboard latches up and dies. It just failed again :(
It is very annoying that the power off button is also deactivated by this failure mode.
I don't really want to go right back to factory settings and then have to bring it back up to spec again if I can avoid it. I strongly suspect it is hardware related. Although similar but not identical problems have been reported with some older Toshiba BIOSs & Vista and this one is a PSPAAE with BIOS v3.80 where as the latest version for AAE on offer is v4.30-WIN. It is with great trepidation I am considering applying the BIOS upgrade. It could easily be a Vista vs Toshiba power management issue. Failures do seem to be correlated with me taking a tea break (so that the suspend/powersave/screensaver are invoked).
The Toshiba manuals refer indirectly to there being a reset button you can press with the point of a biro, but there is no illustration of where the reset button if it exists has been cunningly hidden. This would be preferable to waiting for its battery to run down after each failure. Any ideas where it is hidden please?

Satellite P100-160 - System does not boot

Hi all,
i was hoping someone may be able to help me out with a problem i have with my Satellite P100-160.
I was using it the other night without power connected when my battery ran out and it shut down.
When i re-connected the power and switched it on i got the usual message asking if i wanted to re-start as normal which i did.
Upon doing this i got the icon in the bottom right corner telling me the system was looking to install a new driver for mass storage device.
It could not find it and i have not added or taken anything away from my system.
When i shut it down and went to re-start it next time i got a message on boot screen along the lines of:
error
resource conflict - pci serial bus controller on motherboard bus: 0A, device: 04, Function :01
error
resource conflict - pci mass storage controller on motherboard bus:0A, device 04, function 02
error
resource conflict - pci on motherboard bus: 0a, device: 04, function 03
press F1 to resume F2 to setup
i can get into setup but when i resume the system just hangs and all hard drive activity stops. i have managed to get it to boot successfully once but no more, cant get into safe mode or anything. when i took it to my local computer shop the guy there looked at the error and said it is broken, the motherboard has gone and there is nothing i can do with it. im quite disappointed as the laptop is only 2 years old and i would have thought it would last longer than that.
So my question s are is the guy right, is it broken or is there something that can be done with it? if it is broken can i access the contents of my hard drive with another laptop (the shop guy said something about using a hard drive caddy and using it as an external hard drive??
thanks in advance for any advice
D

Well it would certainly seem my laptop is a gonna, plenty of views but no solution. Must say from
browsing this forum Toshiba laptops definitely have their fair share of problems, mine suffered from
the broken cover mentioned in another thread but i did not think it was such a widespread problem. It has certainly put me off opting for a Toshiba as my replacement.

Satellite P100-160 BT Icon appears in Control Panel, but no BT

Hello,
I have a Satellite P100-160. I am very confused as to whether I have BT or not.
*Reasons I thought I had BT:*
I originally thought I did have it, because in "Control Panel", there is a Bluetooth Icon, which when I press it opens up the "Bluetooth Devices" box. I also use Wi-Fi internet which I thought was a sign that BT was installed and working. I also notice that in "Services" there's something called "Toshiba Bluetooth Service" running.
*Reasons I now think I don't have BT:*
However, when I press Control Panel > Bluetooth Devices > Bluetooth Settings, nothing happens. It's like the button is dead. And when I try to "Add a BT device", it can't find any devices. Also, there is no BT listed in Device Manager.
Overall, I'm very confused! I bought Wireless Speakers yesterday having seen the BT icon in Control Panel (I'd read that if that icon was there I had BT), but having struggled for hours trying to get BT to work yesterday I've come to the conclusion that I don't have BT at all!!
Could someone explain what the Bluetooth Icon in Control Panel means? Why is it there if I don't have BT? Or, does the icon mean I do have BT but am doing something else wrong??
Many thanks in advance! Very frustrated!
David.

Hi DJH_1,
Different notebooks have different hardware parts. This would explain why Bluetooth software is preinstalled, probably other P100 models have Bluetooth but the P100-160 does NOT have Bluetooth.
BT software is installed but not BT hardware so you cant use BT.
Its no mistake by Toshiba. Just check the specifications of your notebook and then you see what features your notebook has or not. ;)

Re: Satellite P100-160 - Display driver installation failed

Satellite P100-160, PSPAAE, vista 32 bit,
Today Aero wasn't working and not available in graphics properties. Installed latest display driver from Toshiba UK site, Intel 15.0.1.1114. This version was actually older than my current driver but I thought that maybe as it was the only one availabel that it must be correct.
The driver install failed with an error (no details just 'an error has occurred'). Now I have no aero and my display resolution cant be set above 1280x800 - should be 1440x900
To say I am pisseed would be an understatement. Can anyone help? thanks

Hey,
If Aero is not available I dont think its display driver problem
Anyway, have you removed the old display driver before you installed the new one? Go to device manager > right click on graphic card > uninstall. After reboot the display driver should be uninstalled and you can start with display driver installation.
If you install drivers make sure you are logged in as Administrator and antivirus/firewall is disabled. Restart once again and you should be able to choose the native screen resolution now.
Check this!!!

Satellite P100-429 - No sound after Windows 7 installation

I have a Satellite P100-429 Purchased Nov 2006.
I have just upgraded from XP to Windows 7 and Office Pro Plus. All works well but there is no sound if I try to play a CD. I have done usual checks for Mute etc. but no Joy. In device manager a yellow triangle with exclamation mark within is against my sound device. C
an I download a new driver to solve problem or is it more complicated than that? Than you

Hello
For me it sounds like that you didnt install the sound driver for sound card
According the Toshiba website there is no 64bit sound driver available for Satellite P100 but I noticed that Satellite P300 supports Windows 7 64bit and has Conexant sound card too. Maybe this driver is working for you too.
Just search for Satellite P300 drivers and test the sound driver It should work! :)

Satellite P100 (PSPA6A-028017) - Sound driver for Windows 7

Does anyone know what audio drivers to use for this model on Windows 7?
Device manager says "This device cannot start. (Code 10)"
Drivers listed for it are drmk.sys, hdaudio.sys, portcls.sys, sysfxui.dll and wmalfxgfxdsp.dll all of which are listed as "Microsoft" and "Windows 7 RTM"
Various instructions linked to various drivers (on the Toshiba site and elsewhere) none of which seemed to do anything.
None of the drivers on the Toshiba site for this model work.
Hardware was working just fine on XP before the Windows 7 upgrade.
Can anyone tell me what drivers to use for this chipset and/or what else to try?

Hi Jonathan Wilson,
I have checked the Toshiba Australian driver download page where your notebook model is listed and it seems that there are no Windows 7 drivers available at the moment :(
Theoretically you could also use the drivers from the European page, where you can get Windows 7 drivers for Satellite P100, model nr. PSPA6E.

Satellite P100-192: crackling sound coming from speaker when using MSN

Hello, i have just bought this p100-192 laptop. The speakers seem to muffle ( especially whenever there is an incoming message in MSN )
Does anyone know why and a solution to it ????

Hi,
I own a Satellite P100-188 and the sound crackled in windows with driver 3.11.0.0 and BIOS 2.10, after sending the notebook back to Toshiba only for them to install driver version 3.11.0.51 I found that some sounds where not playing at all. I have come to the conclusion that the Conexant sound chip (or hardware) is just rubbish, for instance take the sound volume of the beep tone when hitting caps lock or num lock compared to the general volume, which, at full volume is barely audible!
I myself went back to using version 3.11.0.0 as I would rather have crackling sound than missing sounds. I'm considering purchasing a Soundblaster Audigy 2 ZS PCMCIA sound card as I play games a lot on my notebook. If sound is important for you, you may want to consider it too.
An eaiser way to check your BIOS version is to click Start select Run... and enter this line in the dialog box
TInTouch.exe and hit enter.
Then switch to the Protect and Fix tab and left click PC diagnostic tool, it will list all the information on your notebook.
This is how I updated my BIOS, I downloaded the win update file and unzipped it, I then ran the Phoenix Winphlash program and entered a bios backup destination and browsed to the .wph file which was in the folder that the program unzipped to, I then followed the onscreen prompts and that was it, the machine re-booted with the new bios installed.

Satellite P100-257 - No sound after Win 7 installation

Need help...
I have Satellite P100-257, upgraded from XP to WIN 7. Now my sound device don't work.
I installed driver, but still nothing. In device properties says: device not installed.
However, when I run diagnostic, says that driver has problems and that problem will be fixed after reinstalling driver.
So, it keeps me in the loop all the time.
Tried download some drivers from net, even buy Toshiba Recovery Disk for my model (payed 15$ !!!! for gad's sake!!!!)...
Now, my knowledge here is limited, so any tips, suggestions, solutions are more than welcome!
Thanks!

Thanks m8!
Acctually, after 2 days cracking my head about it, I was this close to buying new machine :)
But, solution was acctually more simple than I thought...And felt so stupid after I finally figured it. Well, Win 7 is more similar to XP than it is to Vista, so I just run simple chec for XP sound drivers on Toshiba download support web site, and it came with one driver for this specific model: *sound-20071106151533.zip* driver. Just needed to check in driver properties for compatibility (XP service pack 3 mode) and simple install...That was it... Run smoothly on WIn 7.
Sometimes, only solution is the simplyest one :)
Thanks anyway!

Satellite P100-426 - What sound driver I need for Windows 7 64bit?

Hello,
I have installed Windows 7 64bit to my P100-426. It was no problem but I can't foud a driver for the sound chip and I also don't know wich sound chip is on board.
Maybe someone can help me.
thank's a lot.
sven_lee

Hey,
The problem is hat neither for Windows Vista 64bit or Windows 7 64bit are drivers available for your notebook model. I have checked this on official Toshiba website:
http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.com/innovation/download_drivers_bios.jsp
According the Toshiba page your notebook has Conexant sound chip
But Conexant doesnt provide drivers directly so you have to check the Toshiba website again
I found out that Satellite P300 has also Conexant sound card and there is a driver for Windows 7 64bit available. In my opinion you should try the sound driver from Satellite P300. Theoretically this should work. ;)

I cant flash bios with BD1_BIOS(V4.80)_Update (is it possible for installing soundcard?)
THx for any help

Hi Salomon82,
I founded a similar thread regarding sound drivers for Windows 7 on Satellite P100:
http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=191495&#191495
It seems that the Vista driver also work on Windows 7! :)
Furthermore its not necessary to update the BIOS for installing sound card drivers because firstly you should try the correct driver.

Windows 8/8.1 32/64 bit Drivers for Satellite P100/P105 Users

I made an original post with my now ancient Satellite P105-S9722 back in 2009 & 2011 for Windows 7 64-bit drivers. Windows 7 Drivers for P100/105 Systems
Now that I have newer systems, I have experimented loading Windows 8 & 8.1 in my P105-S 9722 system. Wanted to share some observations and any issues I came across.
I have listed here some basic drivers you can use for your P100/P105 systems for Windows 8 and 8.1 and 32/64-bit to work. Many of these listed are from other users, but there may be some additional drivers many may not know about. I can't guarantee that all of these will make your system work 100%, but hopefully this will make your upgrade just a little quicker & easier.
Before using these driver, I recommend you do a fresh install of Windows 8 or 8.1 32 or 64-bit regardless if you are using XP, Vista or 7 32 or 64-bit systems.
Now I did use an installation DVD instead of a flash drive since you may need to add additional features to make certain programs work.
After installing the Operating System (OS), immediately go to Programs and Features in Control Panel . Make sure to turn on the .NET Framework 3.5 (includes .NET 2.0 and 3.0). You will need this to install some of the Toshiba utilities.
Many of the native drivers for Windows 8 & 8.1 will automatically be installed. The wifi driver should work. I am using a Sparklan GN-WS30N 802.11n using Ralink RT2860 chipset that works in 8 & 8.1.
SOUND CARD: The biggest issue of Windows 8 & 8.1 32/64-bit is that there is no sound. The old Audio 4.8.0.0 driver is the only driver that still works in Windows 8 & 8.1. There are much newer versions, but for some reason, the old driver works the best.
1) Download the driver.
2) right click the file to extract it to a folder of the same name (do not double-click as the automatic installation will fail)
3) double-click on folder Audio4.8.0.0, then double-click again on subfolder Audio4.8.0.0 if present
4) double-click on folder BD1-BH1
5) double-click on folder VXP64
6) recommend to double-click on file BD16HAa.inf to check if your sound Hardware ID is listed under [Conexant.NTAMD64], should be HDAUDIO\FUNC_01&VEN_14F1&DEV_5047&SUBSYS_1179FF31
7) close BD16HAa.inf file if opened in step 6, then simply double-click Setup64.exe
8) restart system (although audio may work right away, always a good idea)
See Audio 4.8.8.0.zip Download on Bottom of post
SYNAPTIC TOUCHPAD: If your P100/P105 has a dual Synaptic touchpad like mine, the driver does work in WIndows 8/8.1, BUT you still need the utility to make it work.
Download: Toshiba Touchpad
Here's the thing with the Toshiba file, when you save it or run it, it unzips the folder into the TEMP folder. When you go to run it, the main setup will work. In case the autorun does not work, here's what you need to do:
1) Change you folder selection so you can show hidden folders & files
2) After unzipping the file, open C:\Users\"YOURNAME"\AppData\Local\Temp\Synantec Touchpad.temp
3) Click on "Setup" icon to run the file. (This file worked just fine on my P105-S9722 machine)
PCMCIA/Express Card/SD (TI) CARD READER - This driver will allow the PCMCIA, Express Card & SD Readers work normally on Windows 8/8.1.
There is issue with the Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated FlashMedia Controller. I did find a driver the does work:
Download: Texas Instruments PCIxx12 Integrated Flashmedia Controller
Nvidia Video Card - After loading the OS, the maximum resolution on the native drivers is only 1024 X 768. In order to get the maximum resolution of 1440 X 900, a NVidia driver is required.
Download: Nvidia GeForce Release 179
Once this is loaded, use Windows Updates to download the most recent drivers. Windows 8.1 definitely has a newer driver. It is a good idea to download the NVidia GeForce Experience so that newer drivers can be installed: Nvidia GeForce Experience
Fingerprint Reader (Biometrics Devices) - The Upek driver only goes up to Windows 7, but Windows 8/8.1 does have a native driver through AuthenTec that does work. The Toshiba fingerprint utility will be needed in order to user the fingerprint reader. The Toshiba Utility can be downloaded here:
Upek Fingerprint Driver 5.8.0.4024
The utility should work with the native driver.
That's pretty much it for the basic drivers. I did not include LAN or Wireless Drivers.
Finally make sure the most recent Bios are installed v4.70: http://cdgenp01.csd.toshiba.com/content/support/downloads/sp100v470.exe
There are attachments and links, but let me know if anyone is not able to download or use any of these links posted.
Current Issues & Observations: After I shut the computer down, when I open the screen, the computer automatically turn on. I haven't figured that out yet, but I'm sure I'll post a fix in the near future. The computer definitely boots much faster compared to Windows 7 and I've upgraded the older spinner drive with a Sata III SSD Drive. Even with only 4GB of memory and the first generation Duo Core processor, P105-S9722 is still running well.
I may do another post if I decide to try out WIndows 10, but for now, it's nice to know that even though the old P100/P105 systems do not support anything over Windows Vista, we can use the contempory software on a system almost 10 years old.
Good luck.

so Plz if somone could be so kind to tell me where I can get the right drivers for my model i'd be very pleaced :)
