Walkman Clear Bass Bug

rs16 — Sat, 18 Jan 2014 15:40:21 GMT

Hi, I love everything about SP but not this. I've experienced this bug and it is really frustating.
When i put clear bass to +10, in some songs, treble (vocal) volume will get lowered. But in other songs, I don't experience like one before when i set clear bass to +10

Summary: This bugs happened to almost my music, but not all of them

I know this is only software problem (tried PowerAmp Music Player and not experience bass issue)

So I hope you guys will fix this bug in 4.3 official update..

I really really like Sony Mobile and don't want to choose another brand. Please don't let me down.

Waiting for reply

Yes im having the same problem as you said.. Actually walkman apps has a good sound enhancements. I think the problem is in the sound limit. It automatically avoid distortion in the produced sound. But unfortunately it's just too aggresive.

No, it is not your headphones. I have try to play same song with same equalizer setting in my Xperia M and my Tablet Z, this issue is not happening! So i think this bug is only for Xperia SP.

I hope developers know this bug and fix it for us

Very true..

Loads of bugs.. Which I'm not even interested to post here too. No one shows interest in listening to the problems faced by the users. Just repair your phone for everything is not the solution.

I do have the same problem.

When I try the first time using original earphone, I tought the problem is from the original earphone.

So i bought MH-EX300, and the problem still happen.

When the song get so boomy, the vocal volume will decrease.

glad to hear that i'm not the only one

Something that would be worth checking is if you have the Dynamic Normaliser enabled: Main Menu > Walkman > Menu Button > Settings > Sound Effects > Untick Dynamic Normaliser.

Thank you for your assistance Sam

But it's not Dynamic Normalizer's fault.

Tried to turn it off and on and off, no difference at all

Well that's not a bug!

I dont know how they did it in the states but in europe there is a law of maximum volume in mobile devices! In order to fullfill this its needed to decrease the low frequencies when you turn the clear bass up to 10!!

If you have one of the high-end phones (pj xperia z3) you should tick "dsee hx" in the setting (below the equalizier)!

It should solve the problem in almost every case and in addition all your music should have much better quality!!!
