After posting a thread about very low Bluetooth volume on my Xperia T it has got me thinking maybe it's a fault with my phone and not the same for everyone.
If you have a stock jb Rom, not sure if it's just on the T or others so please feel free to try other Xperias
Please can you connect some Bluetooth speakers
Start playing music in walkman or another player
Turn media, Bluetooth and system volumes up to max (in fact putting all the volumes isn't required, it does this for me at any volume, just proving it's not just a volume setting going up)
Then listening to the volume go to settings, sounds, volumes add adjust the alarm volume up or down, just so the phone plays your alarm tone
Has the output volume of the Bluetooth no suddenly doubled and you are getting great sound from the phone via Bluetooth?
I have found a few other posts on other forums with the same problem, but not a single fix, reason or way to sort it.
Please let me know if it does the same for you?
I love my T and it's finally becoming almost perfect for me after a few mods, but this is seriously frustrating and making me consider changing phones
Thanks

This has been bugging me since I got the phone!
The link goes to a file not found? If you have it, could you upload it for me. I may try this experiment 3.5 I keep hearing about it. But I would also love to fix my stock .145 Rom
Thanks

You can send a message to peetr_, I'm sure he'll send you the fix.
ExperimenT 3.5 is really closed to stock .145, but with many fix & improvements.

Thanks, I've e-mailed him, hopefully he can send it over.
Yeah think I'll give ExperimenT 3.5 a go, seems they are doing all the work Sony are not bothering to fix
Really happy, I managed to extract the files from. The ExperimenT Rom and now it works perfectly.
Thanks so much to Peetr and nreuge really really pleased it's finally fixed and I can enjoy Bluetooth audio on the phone finally

Recently got a touch diamond and I love the device save for one issue.
I've synced music to the phone and it seems to be going over fine. I just have NO BASS in any song. I tried the original headphones and thought those were just crappy so i went out bought a USB to 3.5 adapter and tried it with bose/technics/shure headphones and still nothing!!
I've looked at the audio enhancer tool on the phone and nothing in there makes a difference. Wondering if anyone else has been having this problem or even knows of a solution to it.
Thanks
-Jaspreet
I've had this identical problem.
It worked fine for the first day of use, then I charged overnight, added some more music in the morning, and that was it - no bass.
This is serious because I want to use it as my main music player. If I can't get it sorted it's going to have to go back.
Mine got the same problem as well....
I've found using A2DP, even with the same headphone could get some improvement. But the sound is still far from GOOD.
Still remember few years ago there could be tweaks to enhance the DSP thread efficiency...or priority....can't remember now....any expert could give us some hints??
The solution in my case:
Connect the headset - Turn Off the "Audio Booster" (or if it's off right now, turn on and OFF) - Press "Done"(!!!) - Disconnect the headset - Reconnect again - Start the Music Player - You have BASS. If you'd like to use the audio booster you can already turn on that.
It's a little bit weird, but maybe a ROM update solve it.

This solution with this order of events has worked for me. Thanks!
JointStereo: set to "0" in registry.

Whats the path to get to this ? and what exactly does this tweak do. Thnaks bud.
Sorry SecureGSM....JointStereo set to "0" was to do with A2DP problem....not our case.....thanks anyway
Tried vax6's solution....also works for me...thanks vax6
Notes to other users: make sure you press DONE not x or <- to turn off AudioBooster.....I know...vax6 said that, I just didn't pay attention
guys, thank you really very much, i was getting crazy with this problem
solved with xax6 solution
Strange, but it works.....plug in, done, plug out! Thanks for the solution!!
Hi!
I love my Diamond, but it has one big problem - I wasn't able to hear it in noisy environments. I realized, that poor sound is somehow related with AudioPara3.csv file in Windows directory. I made some tests with this file and whoaaa... my phone is quite louder now. Now I wish to share it with you. Unzip the file, overwrite the old file with the new one in the Windows folder (make backup before) and soft reset the device. You must hear the difference..
I didn't test your file yet, I m sure it maye help, but I made some tests with CorePlayer by change the equalizer parameters and got little bit more volume but with distortion ,seems like the main problem is the speaker itself....
didn't hear any difference

AudioPara3.csv file contains volume and gain values for speaker and microphone. I've tested it, and by raising volume values to the maximum - nothing happened, by raising gain values to the maximum- volume is louder. IMO this is maximum, that Diamond's poor speaker can produce. I am satisfied with it, maybe someone can do more tests and get better result.
Btw, all sounds are louder now: ringtone, speakerphone, system volume, music playback, etc.

Replace with Total Commander; Windows Explorer isnt working...
I tried this and it really sounds like massive quality loss. This has to be tweaked much more.
Thanks, will give it a try, as I just need little more volume from speakers.
Thanks! Will try this out. If it works out well I would love to see this tweak/fix implemented in some cooked ROM's ^^
EDIT: This works out great! A bit load sometimes, and I can't lower the volume, but atleast I hear the phone ringing now
Well i tested it , and it works .
Really loud ! , i had to lower the volume again ..
Nice work !.
Thanks tripp! It really works! I use it with SRS WOW in which gives my Diamond the loudest sound it ever had
This is awesome thanks a million.
It is reallyyyyy loud now.
Do these settings apply to ringer?
Thanks again very cool of you
help
can u help me add audio para 3 files into my windows....i mean can u tell me all the step how to do to get audio para 3 files......thank you
Thanks. Worked perfect. It is a lot louder now. But needs a little tweaking because of distortion.
folks
i tried the total commander...
I was able to mke a backup of the existing file
but not able to copy the new file attached...
any detailed steps s very much appreciated..
VK
Thank you!
It works for me!
I don't have distortion problem. It is quite suitable for me.
mine is actually too loud, even on the lowest setting people around me can hear my conversation. can I use the same procedure to accomplish the opposite?
Excellent....
Definately looks like an enhancement worth carrying to the ACT and Diamond Tweaks...well done!

Suggest the author adds his advice to these threads....
I didn't find any similar threads with this problem so I decided to start a new one.
The thing is, I just installed JellyBeans 4.1 Beta 1 and flashed my X8 with "E15i_JBMiniProject_v02" (Everything on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1789713)
I also installed the Google apps in the thread like Google play.
So, the problem is that when plugging earphones into the device and then playing music or any audio app the sound goes both through the earphones and the speakers. I didn't find any separate volume options for speakers and earphones also when increasing or decreasing volume in the device, both speakers and earphones increase or decrease.
I looked carefully through the phone options and I didn't find any possible options. Note: I was kinda tired so I MIGHT have missed an option for this.
I tried searching for people wanting to force this to play both through speakers and earphones and I've only seen threads in developing forums, nothing as simple as an option I might miss-understood and turned it on.
NOTE: I also tried setting phone in vibration only mode and silent mode but still.
I know it's not the worst problem ever, but it's annoying because I can't use earphones without playing music via the speakers too...

I was using my skullcandy headset on my phone and everything was working fine, until I (like an idiot) tried to adjust the headset gain value while the headset was plugged in. Then, I could hear buzzing in my earphones and when I plug it in, it says headset not supported. I tried a clean flash of the ROM to no avail. Then I flashed the Z3 sound files and tried, and it worked for a bit, but the sound was coming from both the headset and the speaker. So assuming it was an issue with the Z3 sound files, I flashed back the Stock sound files for mono. Now, it's not recognizing and headset or headphones(which was previously working when the headset wasn't being recognized) and when I pull it out of the jack, it says headset not recognized. Have I broken my headset jack? I use my phone for music, and this is really important. I'm praying I haven't and that there's a fix. Please help..

I do have an unlocked bootloader. I flashed v15 and it seems to be working with headphones (which don't have an inline mic) haven't tested the headset for fear of losing even headphones functionality. I'll test headset in the evening and if it doesn't work, I'll try a reflash of the kernel.
Is headset functionality also tied to kernel? I thought it was a ROM function. Really appreciate the help

If u are saying the the stereo mod v15, it is a bit buggy
i got left side and right side volume different = =""
this version may messed up with kernel volume control a bit
yeah everything is finally controlled by the kernel actually
Try using pimp my z1 and set value in Headphone analog gain, it fixed the s**t up (for me)
or if u want good and stable music quality, use dreamingonmusic v11z

I'll try the headset, see if it works, if not,reflash stock sound files, see if it works, if not reflash kernel. Thanks for all the help man, really appreciate it, you're awesome!
The problem arose when I tried changing the value on pimp my Z1 while the headset was connected. So I'm not playing with the pimp my Z1 settings anymore. Uninstalled it.

Maybe u should refresh the rom without any mod to test it instead, becoz the "stock mod" may not be able to completely clean off the s**ts

I reflashed the ROM. I'm hoping flashing the kernel fixes it.
Thanks man, narrowed down the issue. My headset is ****ed. The second I connect it, it's ****ing everything up. So that's the culprit. Simple reboot fixes it and I can use headphones.
Thanks so much for your help, unfortunately even a kernel reflash didn't help. I botched something with the headset when I adjusted the output while connected. Thanks a ton for your help and support. This is why I love xda. The power of the community.
Thanks a bunch.

Updated to Lollipop yesterday. Of course I'm using Sony's official update and not CM12. So yeah I didn't bother to.watch any videos or listen to music because I updated my phone very late at night. But today, I realised the Audio seems broken. How is it broken? Well, I play a YouTube video at max volume. Seems fine but a little soft for being at max. As soon as I drag it down just a bit, it's like impossible to hear anything. When it reaches half volume, it feels like the minumum volume and the minimum volume feels like it's muted. Anyone have the same problem?
Tl;dr: Can't hear jack **** on near max volume

Umm, nope, I can notice cause I consume a lot of media on my phone.
Weird thing is, bluetooth is weird. I use it in my car, and in KK, when I made a call, it'd change to the phone audio on its own. Now it stays on bluetooth audio until the call connects and then switches to the phone audio mode. This was the case even with AOSP 5.0 ROMs :/ it's weirdly inconvenient cause if I'm using the aux, I won't know if the call is about to be connected, cause I can't hear the ringtone on the call :|
I'm using locked rooted Kitkat,
updated via Sony PC Companion without wiping anything
after the updating to lollipop, it charges so slow, even when it's turned off
I used all the chargers here.
I'm planning to go back to kitkat without losing any app data.
I have no recovery and not rooted in lollipop. What can I do?
sound is definitely broken, because xloud is missing, clearaudio+ isnt working neither.
