Thanks for the tip! I tried it out successfully on my T115-S1105 last night, and your solution is a solid temporary fix! It renders the laptop speakers acceptable, though I do hope we will get more sound out of the system with upgraded drivers.
I bought my Toshiba mainly because I tend to turn it off and on a lot throughout the day, and I wanted to be able to exploit the 9-hour battery power while on the run. I am delighted with this outstanding laptop. The on/off system works as promised, with stable and reliable restore functions. The screen resolution is first rate -- much better (brighter, more crisp) than my old-generation Toshiba that was more than twice the weight and three times the price. The keyboard is okay -- it does take some time to adapt. The mouse buttons are frustrating -- demanding more pressure than usual, and hard to hold for cutting and pasting. I honestly don't understand the point of such an "innovation"--a one-bar mouse button -- where the internal springs demand a lot heavier touch than any mouse I have ever used. Pointless. But yes, one can use the pad to bypass the buttons.
I bought the laptop as a work machine, primarily for presentations. But I find that I prefer it for writing now--and pull it out often throughout the day. I have sat for hours at a time working with the computer nestled on my legs -- and the heat when plugged in is minor, not noticeable. And there is almost no heat when the laptop is operating on the battery alone. In contrast to my old system, the fan is virtually silent.
All in all, this is a superb machine--a cut above the low-end netbooks, and the extra batttery power makes it an invalubale and reliable tool.
