It's integrated in S4pro chip, just like N4 and OG

Thanks noxlord !
Bad news for us then ...
@lokenok Thanks Mr Obvious.

In s4pro really good DAC but quiet. So question whether there are additional amplifiers.

This is SONY we're talking about... they always paid lots of attention to their devices' Walkman feature so i'm sure they won't screw this one up.

I seriously hope the DAC is good..although there is always the root tweaks

If the DAC is not good, tweaks won't help. But I'm also confident that Sony did their work great.

NOTE 1 has a bad DAC but with tweaks it sounds great!

The HTC One s was loud and that has a S4 chip, I have also listened to the Nexus 4 and the audio is very good, also xperia T is good but just needs to be a bit louder

Yeah, sound is said to be really good on N4, but really low too.
I hope Sony techies will amplify the sound. I'd really love to use good IEMs on this device.

My local three store had a xperia z today (was very surprised at this actually) had over and hours play with it love everything about it and the audio is very good, it is more than loud enough. I also played with the nexus 4 again and the Z is louder not that the nexus 4 is low in volume.

Nothing short of amazing, I was amazed by the screens on the Xperis S & T this one is a whole new league and plus its the first 1080p screen I have seen. It is just amazing and totally cannot wait to get mine on feb 28th or march 1st.

@dibdin There's already an interesting screen topic in Q&A. Let's keep it about the sound here.
@RWSAMHTC Thanks for your input ! Which kind of headphones did you try it with ? Do you know their impedance ?

I tried it with my urbeats in ear headsets. I tried 15 different types of songs from bashment, reggae, rnb etc. I mostly like bass and loudness and the xperia z did very well I am very please with it. Loudness in headphones was always my main issue, now I dont need to worry about that. I also tried the loudspeaker it was loud enough not the loudest of speakers but loud enough. couldnt try any phone calls though. Also test camera and video and video audio quality which on my one x and sgs3/gn2 wasnt the greatest atall. Very impressed with the z really. Atm the only think i think it needs is a blocking mode for calls and texts.

OK great to hear [no pun intended] that the sound is 'LOUD'..Other aspects like the bass and all can be tweaked..i was hoping that i wont have to carry an amplifier.

I played around with different equalizer settings, really impressed with bass and the loudness

So the loudness of a speaker is comparable due to Xperia T?

Loud speaker seems louder than the T, the Ts loudspeaker was just poor imo.

I tried to flash PureXAudio by Zeroinfinity, it's good trebbe, but bass not better.
because Xperia TX at JellyBean have sound quality is good so flash PureXAudio by Zeroinfinity, it isn't better.
If you have Sony Arc S, you can try flash attached file, bass is best

The thing is the stock headphones are bad. The rubber ear plugs are far too long. They kill the bass along the way. I tried a separate headset and loved it and since I wanted the mic, I changed the ear plugs to much shorter ones and I can feel the bass pretty well.

Volume levels with headphones

I'm interested in getting this phone, I checked on gsmarena and the freq response is perfect.I just wanna know if anyone's flashed CM if the volume levels on headphones are increased.From my past experience with sony phones, when I flashed CM the levels were always louder but I just wanna make sure before I make the move and throw 500 euros out there.Thanks upfront.

In my experience so far using poweramp, the volume is quite high, i will admit using the stock walkman app isnt as loud. btw unlocking your bootloader in order to install CM will break your camera.

Would you mind turning DVC off in the audio settings and check?Also are you sure you're not using preamp?

Turned off the equalizer in poweramp and its still fairly good to be honest with you, turned off bass and treble in poweramp aswell, volume level was decent. i dont touch preamp, it distorts the sound too much for my liking. one thing i will mention is that i run a modified stock rom, the developer of the rom has included a mod which increases the headphone and external speaker volume, that may attribute why i get good volume levels and i am using some decent earphones too

The Sp Audio Loadness

Hello Guys
I want to get the SP , but I heard from some reviews that it have a very low audio volume when using headphones , is that true? and if it is true how low is it, I'm taking the subway everyday to work and I'm afraid that I won't hear my music , I don't care about the loudspeakers I'm setting my phones to vibration anyway. thanks

Its loud on headset but a noun for the ear.
Maybe the end of the test jis helpful.

yes I saw the gsmarena test but it says on the description the sound when pluging a headphone is pretty low

hmmm , I guess I'll look for something else , too lame that sony is one of the leading companies in Audio products but they can't make a phone with proper audio quality .
I like the sp so much it looks good perform good but something little as sound volume can mess it up.

No complaints here. I use headphones while running and I use etymotics while on the motorcycle (in a helmet). I'm no audiophile and it sounds just great to me. Clean and crisp.

Thanks for replying , but what do u think about the loudness , is it enough or its low?

The standard headset that comes with the SP just sucks, plug in your average headphones and there is nothing to complain about..

Thanks a lot guys

the sound is awesome, like others have said the standard earphones suck terribly. i use my sp with a surround system in my room and it sounds just as good as my mac or iPod which have magnificent audio. the built in speaker is LOUD much louder than an iPhone or s4 and theres minimal distortion at max volume

Mega Bass and Sound Volume

I have Sony Xperia Z3+ Dual, its sound volume (In ear phone) is very as compare to HTC one M8. and mega bass not very good as compared to old Sony Ericsson W810...

IF this even doesn't work, then try download poweramp...

When everything fails, then try viper4android.
