No sound will come out from the internal speakers
Hi, I’m having problems with my Toshiba Satellite A50. No sound will come out from the internal speaker. But when I use the headset, I can hear a sound. I’ve checked everything and everything is set to play sounds, just not with the speakers alone.
I want to disassemble this speaker and see if there some dust or whatever, how can I do that?
If you want to replace speakers on Toshiba Satellite A50 notebook, you have to remove the top cover assembly. I haven’t created a complete laptop disassembly guide for this model yet, but I have instructions for removing and replacing the keyboard for Toshiba Satellite A55. You can use this guide and get some access to the speakers and to the connectors. I think that cleaning up the speakers will not help a lot. If you can hear the sound from the headset but not from speakers, then I would suspect that the speakers are bad, the speakers are unplugged or some sound circuit on the system board is damaged. Try to reconnect the speakers first. The speakers are connected directly to the system board through 2 little connectors located below the keyboard connector. You can see these connectors on the step 6; they are hidden under the white tape.

Could my problem be that I need a new sound card?

becky,
Did you check the wave settings in the advanced audio control window? The wave slider should be on the right side from the play control, try turning it up.

I have a Toshiba Satellite M55-S1001 that I have had for 1 1/2 years with no problems. A couple of days ago when I turned it on the sound is there on the internal speakers but is very low. The sound used to blow you out. The volume is turned all the way up on front of laptop-little wheel. Under control panel advanced audio controls all volume turned up to max with no mutes. Under device manager Realtek is operating properly. I even used the restore CD to reinstall Realtek. Windows says latest version of Realtek AC97 is already on my computer. I can hookup external speakers and they are loud enough to hear great, but even at max volume it doesn’t blow you away. Help! Not under warranty any longer.

bangjan,
The volume is turned on, right? Did you try reinstalling the audio driver? Did you try reinstalling the operating system?

Paul Berube,
Did you send this laptop to the Toshiba depot? Did they replaced the motherboard because of the recent recall? I sent a few Qosmios to Toshib depot myself and each time they sent it back to me with a new recovery disc, witch I believe is different from the original restore.
That’s strange. Apparently there are no audio drivers available for download, I wasn’t able to find it either. I guess you’ll have to call Toshiba and buy a new recovery disc from them. Maybe they can send it to you at no charge. Try calling them.

Hi,
I own a Toshiba Qosmio F15-AV201-R, which I recently formatted. I am having trouble getting some of the drivers because I can not find the discs for it. I believe that one of the problems was that when the fan died and the hard drive cooked, they replaced/upgraded the motherboard and hard drive and possibly video or sound cards. I installed everything on the Toshiba website for both the -R and regular version, but there were no sound drivers. I have no sound, except at startup.
I appreciate your time and any help.

I have already tried restoring windows back to the time when the speakers were working but it wouldn’t let me go very far it kept saying that it was unsucessful…but i am about to back up all my files and try to do recovery and see if that works….thanks alot for your time and help.

awesome egyptian,
It’s impossible to troubleshoot software issues over the Internet and I’m not sure if I can help you with that.
Here’s what you can try:
1. Use Windows System Restore utility. Try restoring Windows back to the time it was working properly. Just roll it back, it might help.
2. Back up all personal files and reinstall Windows from the recovery disc. This should fix all software related problems.

Oh sorry but i forgot something…when i click on volume control on my toolbar under mute there is a button that says advanced when i click on it bass and treble are greyed out..is that normal?? thanks again

Thanks but I already read that enrty and tried it and so far nothing changed…I think it is that one file but I can’t reinstall it or anything because it is not my sound driver (Conexant High Definition Audio). It won’t let me upgrade or roll back or reinstall!! I have tried troubleshooting and everything that I can think of. I went on device manager and clicked video codecs under sound, video, and game controller and clicked property tab and the file that says LEAD MCMP/MJPEG Codec (VFW) is the one that has an error that says,” Cannot load the LEAD MCMP/MJPEG Codec (VFW) driver. The driver file may be missing. Try installing the driver again, or contact your system administrator.” but then it won’t let me reinstall it!! what do i do now??? Thanks in advance for your help and time.

Super,
Did you test your laptop with headphones? Do you hear the same funny noise from the headphones? I posted your question and some suggestions here.

My compaq presario V3000 makes funny noise if i turn up volume..it comes from the speakers and its noisy when hearing music.what will be the solution?

nidhi,
Make sure headphones are plugged correctly, all the way down into the jack on the laptop. If headphones are plugged only halfway, you’ll get sound from both laptop speakers and headphones.
Also, it’s possible that switch inside headphones jack on the laptop got stuck somehow. Try plugging and unplugging headphones a few times in a row and make it fast. It may help to release the switch inside the jack.

I have an asus f3s series laptop with vista premium. On start up the internal speakers work when the windows sign appears, after this they don´t work at all but my headphones work fine. Have checked all the settings and properties for the speakers, and have asked numerous people. It´s a mystery. Please help.

Thanks Laptop Freak, but this solution didn’t work for me. I tried a while back but still no luck.
