Hi everyone. I have opened a topic about the sound distortion in the beginning of any sound on device. Alexdon[http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/7878] helped me very much. But i have noticed something different.
I did a factory reset and a clean install the latest update. Whenever I receive a message, call, whatsapp message etc. (or something that causes a notification sound or call sound), the sound freezes a bit or some cracking or lag happens just before starting to play. I tested it both with normal boot and safe boot. Is this a hardware or software problem? I need some Sony Stuff to help here. I have read all Xperia Z1 forums and some people have this problem. And it is on my Xperia Z1 Compact. This is a suberb phone and I need some help. Can I really need to go to Sony Service? or Warranty?
And is there anyone who has this problem?
Solved! Go to Solution.
Hello. When a notification sound or some sound on phone starts to play, in the beginning a distortion is happening. About 1 second or less, sound is broken and it is so annoying. I tried it with headphones and external speakers and the phone's speakers. Everytime a sound starts, there will be a distortion. Is it a warranty problem? I bought this phone two days ago 
Does the same happen if you boot the phone in safe mode?

Yes i tried it in safe mode, it is happening...
Have you tried a software repair via sony update service?

Do you think it is a software problem? Because i tested it with Diagnostics which is the default test program for sony. Same problem happens.
You could give software repair a try,if that does not help,you need to visit a sony service:
