Headphone button bug

Hi all!

I have recently bought a Z1C and pretty happy with it. There is a problem with the headphones (AKG Y-40) buttons, at least with how they work.
It clearly seems like a software problem.
While the headphone is connected via the 3,5mm jack the volume down button takes the volume down to zero, like i keep pressing it. After this none of the buttons work unless I reconnect the headphone or press the phone's volume buttons. Volume up and play/stop works great though until i decide to lower the volume. And the reason for believing it to be software related is that it only happens when a music player (any) is on screen or the screen is off. All buttons work fine when the android desktop is shown, even while playing music. Any ideas?

Thanks for the suggestions but Sony doesn't mention anywhere that their handsets only work with Sony branded headphones.

Anyway I found another topic, they use an STH-30 and have exactly the same problem. No solution whatsoever...
