Music player - weird Equaliser problems...

Having weird issues with the Equaliser(s) on my new Xperia M4 Aqua, which is quite hard to explain.

When I'm listening to music via my music player app I have the option of which Equaliser I want to apply to the sound, however only the one built in to the device under "Audio Settings" actually works.

I use the Shuttle+ music app, and the EQ built into it is great for what I want. I've tried using other Music Players, including the default "Music" app which comes with the phone and the same thing happens; only the Audio Settings Equaliser actually does anything to the outputted sound. I've also tried downloading separate Equalisers, but to no avail. 

The ClearAudio+ option works, if that's any help. I'd just put up with the Sony EQ, but I don't find it very good tbh. 

The phone is fairly new so I'm seriously considering returning it if won't do what I want. I use it for music a lot, so this is a big issue for me!

That's a compatibility issue that the EQ developers have to addressed since those are non-Sony apps/third pary apps.

Oh man,

I am a developer of a music app myself which has over 3 million downloads and I had no clue why the equalizer for my app wasn't working on M4 ,seems like its not just my app
