OPaul Posted March 11, 2005 Report Share Posted March 11, 2005 If I don't use WMP but instead Foobar and MPC is there any reason to install this? Do I get the benefits even though I won't be using the plugin? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Whorebo Posted March 12, 2005 Report Share Posted March 12, 2005 I just reverted to the original sound drivers that came with the Toshiba installation. So no updated drivers or anything... that fixed it instantly for me :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marftarf Posted March 14, 2005 Report Share Posted March 14, 2005 this was a neat find, but after initially being very impressed, I am going to uninstall it. I can't seem to find settings that consistently sound good. Often one of the frequencies is boosted too much and causes distortion. On external speakers, sometimes the vocals are distorted, distant, or difficult to hear. I think whether or not you get good results with this software depends very much on your soundsystem and the sound source. I am a bit too lazy to turn it on and off and adjust it for every movie, song, video, depending on whether externals are plugged in or not, so it's just not for me and the 5200. But give it a try, there is no question it makes a difference and improves some things. If nothing else it makes your speakers sound much louder!

smax Posted March 17, 2005 Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 I'm rather split here. I've found that TVS makes the "System" task take up more processing power, and sometimes it spikes causing the music to skip. So now I can't seem to choose between sound quality and processor power/skipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazart Posted March 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 17, 2005 @Martarf: are you using the Yamaha driver for the SouncCard? This is the question. The Toshiba driver is highly recommended instead of the generic Yamaha one. The latest (final) version is: Windows XP Sound Driver for Yamaha AC/XG Sound Systems v6.13.10.3154 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it doesn't help, you will probably have to wait for the next TVS release, hoping that Toshiba fixes the problem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Foofighter Posted March 31, 2005 Report Share Posted March 31, 2005 I've got a Toshiba Satellite 2450-101, its got Harmon Kardons (one of the reasons why i bought it :) - but its not got the subwoofer), and I've found that with the new software my speakers sound tiny, and bass reproduction is tiny. It all sounds fuzzy too. I've spent all day playing around with the settings! But ever since I bought this laptop I've been using WMP to play music, and I've been using a certain combination of settings which works out very well! This actually sounds wayy better than the Toshiba TruSurround filter! Atleast to me.. So for all Toshiba users with just 2 Harmon Kardon speakers and no subwoofer, use these settings and let me know if it works well for you: 1) Turn SRS Wow Effects ON. 2)Set TruBass to 50 (right in the middle) and WOW Effect to 50 too. 3)Set Auto Volume levelling to ON. (all music has to be volume levelled to allow this to work - rescan your library and select 'Add auto volume levelling for all files') 4)Set Graphic equalizer to ROCK preset. Hope this works and let me know anyway! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hazart Posted April 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Are you talking about the SRS WOW in Windows Media Player? The TVS help says to properly use TVS, please cancel the SRS WOW effect in Windows Media Player... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted April 1, 2005 Report Share Posted April 1, 2005 Yeah, I cancelled that. I find that the WMP SRS filter works well for my laptop speakers and the Toshiba SRS filter works better for my Creative 2.1. The TRUSurround XT is especially AMAZING! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
