Hi..Recently i bought a new xperia j, and i'm facing very low sound in headphones. speaker volume is ok but through earphone the volume is very low. tried with the stock earphone & several other good quality earphones. please somebody help me to get out of this problem
specs:
Android version: 4.1.2
Kernel: 3.4.0
Build number: 11.2.A.0.21
Never rooted.
root and try a sound mod you can find them in themes and apps

some more information i might tell you regarding this volume issue. If i restart my phone, plug the earphone, open stock radio app, then force stop the radio app and then open stock walkman app the music volume seems just OK. Loud and good quality. but if someone call me right then & i receive the call with earphone - the music resumes at a low volume when i finish that call. i press the volume up button but its already at its highest point. if i try the radio trick again it doesn't solve the problem this time until i restart my phone again.:crying:
well, i'm planning on rooting my XJ following the instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2183737
hoping it will be appropriate for my device. but let me ask one question "did you experience a similar problem before rooting your XJ and did rooting solved your problem?" "Which mod you tried regarding this issue?"
my j seems fine with music its quieter than my xperia ray, u, x8 & galaxy ace though but its alwasys been like that so. try acid sound mod i used that on my ray and was good. That tutorial is for unlocked bootloader DO NOT!! follow that if your bootloader is locked bad things can happen. Find the thread for locked bootloader.
I keep looking everywhere and failed. Does anyone know of one that can play/pause, increase/decrease volume and forward music tracks similar to the iPhone ones?
I have these ones:

However, you cant rewind or fast forward the music. Except this one, quite good headset (got them for about year)

It says it can open up apps..
Can you approve that and explain?
I'm too looking for a new headset and these looks nice..
Hows the sound?

tbh im using them only to music (poweramp, which plays music automatically whenever i connect headset and stops when they are disconnected), but i used that app earlier, it turns an app whenever something is plugged in (headset, usb charger etc.), sound is quite ok, however it's too quiet comparing to my pc's headset (creative fatal1ty, i know that it's not the same, but...)

So basically this 'magic' they call, is a simply app trigger when headset is connected?
Not a special key that you press and say out loud the name of the app you want to load..?
Thats an extra bummer :-\

I have been using the SBH50 for a few weeks and it works great. Listening to FM-Radio battery lasted about 10 hours. Pairs with NFC, charges via micro usb and the device has built in microphone so you can change earbuds. I am using Bose SIE2 with the SBH50.
that sounds amazing (pun not intended). however it is a bit too over-kill for me and i kinda have too many devices that need charging already. so i guess there is no simple 3.5mm pair of earbuds that have playback control?
Planning to get the SBH50 myself, currently using the ones that come with the Xperia Z, it kinda does half of what you need anyway, single tap on button = Play/Pause, Double tap = Play next track.
Does anyone else have this kind of problem? The volume while playing music is always changing, like one step up or down every 5 minutes give or take.
- I disabled all the sound and equalizer options from the settings to test if that was the cause but it didn't help.
- Rebooting the phone also didn't help.
- I use Spotify, didn't test any other app yet but I don't have this problem on my Nexus 5 using the same Spotify version.
- There is no way the volume keys were pressed accidentally because even when the phone just lies there, flat on the table, this happens.
- I am on the latest OTA.
Ha ha I thought I was crazy. Yes I do, it's not a drastic change in volume but I know exactly what you're talking about
Same problem here. ..
Did anyone find a solution to this problem? This is probably the most annoying bug I've ever experienced.

I have the same issue on my edge
I had the same problem, it was due to the "Sound Alive+" option in the sound menu.
I found that it was incompatible with both Spotify and Google Play Music, changing the volume of the songs randomly. As soon as I disabled this, the volume glitch stopped.
However, I migrated across to the stock music app, as I love the Sound Alive option.

That doesn't solve the problem for me, I disabled all the sound options (and still have them disabled) and even all the gestures and this still happens regularly...
Hey guys, same problem, I assume it's because of the equalizer voice/instrument equalizer wheel, for some reason it keeps adjusting music vs voice when I play music even if it's set up to normal... Let's hop samsung provides a way to fix this
I had the same issue initially as well using a bt speaker.
I have disabled sound Alive+. In addition, I have disabled the EQ of my speaker and in spotify. Doing so solved the issue for me...
Spotify informs you that using the Equalizer (software) it can affect sound level on some devices. So make sure that you do not have (extreme) equalizer settings in any of the affected software and hardware....
If you take all together, with a modern setup, the sound file is processed by: 1.) the playing software (with EQ) 2.) the streaming device (with EQ or sound improving software e.g. the samsung galaxy) 3.) the recieving (BT) device with software EQ (e.g. the UE Boom).
With my setup, I can turn of EQ at any stage and this solves the problem for me. If your BT speaker does not allow changes of its sound processing, this could be an issue...

How can you disable the EQ settings of spotify? I can't find such option in my app settings.

Hey guys, I found a fix, I uninstalled the app and installed the previous version (2.6.0.813) from the amazon app store and it's working fine, if the app store is not available you can easily find this version online.

Did you/anyone ever solve this? When I plug in earphones, the Google app starts automatically (and restarts each time I close it) and then the volume goes up and down automatically.

Just last month my phone did a system update that took what felt like forever. Whatever was updated seemed to fix the issue. I haven't had any trouble since. Sorry. I know that doesn't really answer your question.
Requirements:
1. Root
2. X-plore or any other file manager with root access
Procedure:
1. Extract and replace "mixer_paths.xml" in root/system/etc
2. Change the permissions to rw-r--r--
3. Restart your mobile
Note:
I won't be responsible if anything goes wrong.
I'm also providing the stock xml file if you want to revert back to the original settings.
Thanks to AndroPlus for providing custom kernel & recovery for the Z5P Dual.
***Version 2 added with sound from both speakers in speaker mode during a voice call***
Thanks!
As soon as I want to go full volume the music stops. I use music player app with podcast and I let the music play as soon as the aux cable plugs in.

It seems like it goes off automatically because of security? Maybe because the device "thinks" I'm using headphones and it will damage my ears when I set the volume this high. I'm using the aux cable for in my car.

Yes, maybe so. What happens if you don't turn it up to the full volume, I mean at 90 percent volume.
If I turn it up to 90 there is no problem

i just tested your soundmod, i think the speaker's have a hardware-security-function because at full volume the speaker's are about 2 sec loud and then somehow again a bit more quiet something like a protecting feature, can't say if it is software-limited or hardware-limited.

Send me the stock xml file for the Z5, I'll take a look.
Can you take a screenshot of the settings you changed? That way, people can change them on their own until they find the best setting for their phone and earbuds
Is your Mod is Stereo also for Incoming call ringtones ?
I Mean is Ringtone sound comes from both speaker for incoming Call & Notifications Sound ?
Yes, both speakers play the ringtone. Sound from the bottom speaker is louder than the top one.
Yo bro, hey I'm don't believe, change your sound mod name or else I will report you, my mods are called stereo sound mod for abt 3 years, chose another name pls or else I will report if u wanna check then check.my threada

SONY Xperia Z5 - headphone jack - static + hissing noise
Description
Static / hissing noise through headphones and speaker while playing sounds (music etc.) especially on low volume. If DSEE HX is enabled in audio settings while using the official Sony music app, the sound is perfectly clear.
DSEE HX ON + Sony Music App = perfect sound
DSEE HX ON + YouTube, PowerAmp, ... = static noise
DSEE HX OFF + Sony Music App, YouTube, PowerAmp, ... = static noise
affected devices
Sony Xperia Z5
Sony Xperia Z5 Compact
Sony Xperia Z5 Premium
android version
Android 5.1.1
Build Number: 32.0.A.6.200
kernel: Stock, AndroPlus, etc.
troubleshooting
- flashed new / diffrent kernels and roms = same issue
- send to Sony Repair -> had to pay 250€ for repair because of unlocked bootloader = nope, certainly not

Anybody with the same issue?
I think I have it too, but I'm not sure.
My phone has cracked glass on back side so imo they will not repair it for free even with locked bootloader.
Did You check sound without headset?
Not all Z5s affected - mine is fine. I just tested the Sony Music App and turning DSEE HX on and off. Headphones are older Sennheiser PX 200 - maybe some audiophile will have 10 reasons why they're crap and my test doesn't count BUT there's NO STATIC doing the tests above.

Yes, I tested it with several headphones (good ones, and cheap ones). I know I have a good hearing (the first volume step is enough for me), but it MUST be audible for every normal person.
You tried different headphones ? (I've tried 2 different headphones so far, and experienced this only upon using the other pair yesterday: Creative EP630; vs. some Philips Headphones where it didn't occur - so far ...)

uh, okay
I remember that at the beginning there wasn't any static noise but now the only option that "fixes" this is using DSEE HX,
this is ridiculous !
(I'm also getting this on the Galaxy S1, btw )
This bothered me a great deal since sometimes I listen to music before I sleep and it's really annoying - getting me to be more alert rather than more and more sleepy
One way to promote DSEE HX
Could be that software updates to certain components (kernel ? music player ? libraries ?) did cause this or some other factors

I tried the Z5 headphones, Sennheiser In-Ear CX 300, and Sony MDR1A. With the MDR1A the sound quality was ok.
I tried diffrent kernels, flashed diffrent roms...everytime the same problem. I think DSEE HX is only enabled in the Sony Music App. If someone could find a solution to enable it systemwide, that would be great.

Yeah, I'm planning to use this phone partly for work & at home so it has to work flawlessly - calming after some stress is also part of the plan.
Nice ! I've got the same Sony MDR1a, will see how those work for me
Anyone took a look at the following soundmod ?

(once I unlock the bootloader & use custom parts - I'm still seeing whether I can get this all to work without modding & mainly work on Sony's part )
@alphatact1cs that MOD appears to be system-wide, it's not DSEE-HX but it's a start, after that it might only be some modding to get DSEE-HX globally
edit:
okay, tested the following additional headphones (high quality ? what are their differing characteristics ?)
MDR-1a
Xiaomi Piston V2 (2.1)
in both the static noise ("white noise") was still there but only much more subtle - still annoying in the long run
edit2:
is this "static noise" equal to IMD+Noise measured by gsmarena ?

If yes, it would be nice to know if the original Xperia Z also head this "behavior":

I added it to my INDEX so others will find it, thanks.
Its not a permanent noise, it interferes with the music, but only when a tone is played. I have to get my phone back from Sony, then I can try new solutions and record the distortion.
[INFO]: Lower SPL/mW means lower noise. The device has to use a higher voltage to generate the same amount of volume = fewer distortions.
Got some new experience:
If "Developer Options" are enabled and "Use AwesomePlayer (deprecated)" is toggled, then there's no output for Sony's Music app (while DSEE HX is enabled),
but the other music apps (only some ?) still work but there's also still the white noise while playing music (e.g. JetAudio), so I assume that doesn't use NuPlayer ?

(also posted in ProjectDesire thread)
Another observation:
When setting the preamp to -30 dB on the Galaxy S1 (Voodoo Sound Mod), the white noise mostly goes away - the max output isn't as high as with preamp set to max (of the hardware limits) - but output is much clearer and appears less distorted (IMD, THD ? http://www.gsmarena.com/gsmarena_lab_tests-review-751p4.php )
The difference is that with DSEE HX on the max output appears to be non-changed from the default (e.g. no settings or ClearAudio+),
so DSEE HX appears to utilize the hardware's full potential (preamp TFA98XX according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=64005513&postcount=4),
while also tuning the software to optimum ...
edit:
essentially what the following does: https://github.com/AndroPlus-org/an...mmit/3ad9cddb55bc361c8bf8f6d38159c7d4efd95b92 Fix static noise on high end headphones , but that comes with the issue of voice cancelling not working, so perhaps not so low values ...
Looks like we also need some sort of Voodoo for the Z5 series ( @supercurio I'm looking at you)
I think Rev4 is the one with least problems. I don't feel this, think lucky me.

Hi all,
Just had this problem on my Z5. Fixed by going to Settings > Sound & notification > Audio Settings
and turned DSEE HX off and ClearAudio+ off. Then in Sound effects, turn everything off.
Cheers.
I get the hissing statistic background effects too when playing videos, music, games etc.. Anybody found a solution to this?? Changing audio settings doesn't make a any real difference.. possibly a software/driver bug?? I can't remember if the sound was hissing on lollipop before I updated to marshmallow.. it's subtle hissing-static but very noticeable when putting the speaker close to the ear.. It almost sounds like sound interference or sound crossover (different frequencies overlapping causing static rustling hissing effect)..
Original Xperia Z never had this issue.. I just hope it's not device/speaker related as I can't be bothered going through a long process for a replacement..
But if it was device speaker related, wouldn't the noise also occur while on a phone call?? Both internal and external sound?? Just a thought..
I'm going to look in to this further and see if I can find a possible perm fix or something, unless one already exists..
Any ideas guys??

Okey, I found an ACTUAL fix for this, believe it or not You do have to pay a few dollars for an app called FauxSound if u want it to work though, and it's not 100% perfect, but makes the white noise inaudible in ALL apps for me. Also, it's not my fault if this doesn't work for you, or ends up exploding your phone or something :3
I expect most of you to find this as easy as installing any mod, but in short you have to use FauxSound (or maybe an alternative, I used FauxSound) together with a supported kernel, which in my case was Zach's Kernel Playground. Stock and AndroPlus does NOT work. Long story; after installing the kernel (or the FauxSound supported kernel of your choice) through TWRP and downloading FauxSound from Google Play, I opened the app and put "Digital Output Gain Controls" down to -17 after toggling "Link Headphones Gain Controls". Keep in mind that I use the Headphone volume boost mod which is posted somewhere here on XDA, so unless you also use that, you might want to turn it to -10 or so. After that it was as simple as turning volume a few steps higher than normal and listening to music with NO white noise/static . Best part is that if you're using speakers where the volume is too low, you can use the same app to boost the volume past what's standard. That also includes your phone speakers, but be careful not to break your phone or other equipment.
BTW, I use the Z5 Compact, and I'm suspecting you Z5 users to have more kernels to choose between. Also, this might use more battery or something, don't know and don't care.
Gonna go and post this on Z5C forum too, good luck
Edit: Also, the FauxSound app has a bug where your settings will reset when you open the app/browse through its menus. TURN DOWN THE VOLUME BEFORE CHANGING THE SETTINGS. Or else you'll get your volume turned up to max and blow up your ears. It also MIGHT reset when phone has idled, and will (depending on your settings) reset when you reboot your device.
Also, small bug when phone has idled, if noise is higher on one earpiece or goes up and down, go into the app and drag "PowerAmp" up or down.
Edit: Wrong acc :|
One possibility could be the Audioflinger
The Audioflinger has the normal outputs like Direct, Fast, Deep Buffer, etc. and a special one made by Sony for Sony devices called Sony High Resolution Audio API
This cause why we have DSEE-HX and why we can hear Hi Res songs on all Sony phones up to Z3
So my theory is then that they made some mistakes on the Audioflinger on the normal outputs which cause this static noise, and that's then why u don't have it on DSEE-HX because there the Sony Hi Res Audio API works and that is a new output
I hope I could help a bit with that, again that's just a theory and I just can know that when I have the source code

Edit: Also, the FauxSound app has a bug where your settings will reset when you open the app/browse through its menus. TURN DOWN THE VOLUME BEFORE CHANGING THE SETTINGS. Or else you'll get your volume turned up to max and blow up your ears. It also MIGHT reset when phone has idled, and will (depending on your settings) reset when you reboot your device.
Also, small bug when phone has idled, if noise is higher on one earpiece or goes up and down, go into the app and drag "PowerAmp" up or down.

Hi everybody
I've had the same issue described in the 1st post since I bought my z5 e6653.
Now I updated it to 32.3.A.0.376, Nougat. Nothing seems to have changed,but I experienced interesting things, even if i don't know if they are related to the nougat update but my situation at this moment is the following:
Google play music or Sony music: headphones + DSEE HX on-> perfect sound
Google play music or Sony music: without headphones -> noise even with DSEE HX
Any video or game: noise anyhow
But...
First strange thing:
Spotify with or without headphones, DSEE HX on or off..perfect sound! It's the only app at this moment to have a perfect sound without any "help" nor DSEE HX !
Second:
I read something above about faux sound, but I tried with a free app that is "volume booster goodev": when you open this app it's just a pop up and you can choose the % of boost. That's the strange thing: I press play in Google play music, then I set the % of boost on 0 or 1% in that pop up and...the noise goes away!! The same volume (1% boost is not so much and it works even with 0%) but without this annoying noise! And it seems to be working with all of my apps.
Why a simple app can solve this problem while Sony doesn't move a finger?

Video demonstration
Hi,
I managed to make a video demostrating the issue we're facing. I can't post the link as a new user :/ The video id is "d63WJi0-kuo" and the title is "Sony Xperia Z5 Compact noise / hissing / distortion issue with sound".
