Has anybody experienced this?
Whether 4k or regular video, there's a pretty loud feedback noise. It doesn't seem to be the mic. Calls are OK and if I record sound only that's fine.
Sony support suggested a software repair but that didn't help.

Hey everyone, I've been pretty happy with my Xperia Z until yesterday when I was out and people called me and I couldn't really hear anything they said as the volume was too low in the earphone.
The earphone was / is clean and dry and I have tried different settings and of course max volume etc but it just seems to be too low?
Anyone had any better success with talking or rather listening to people trying to talk to you in traffic or noisy environments?
Surely Sony's flagship phone must let you actually hear what people say when they are calling you?
EDIT: I actually tried the service menu and the tests are pretty loud and very clear compared to calls... so at least the hardware seems to be ABLE to do it's job...

I find the sound quality from the earpiece terrible. It's not only quiet but very muffled and I can't really hear people on the phone even in quiet environments. I'm going to take the phone back because of this!

If you haven't yet, try turning off the Speaker voice enhancement under Call settings. That actually improved the in-call sound quality quite a bit for me.

Hm mine was off but turned it on now to see differences, will have a go tomorrow. Also there is a EQ for calls there as well that I haven't tried yet. I'm hoping that it's just the firmware that needs some extra push as the service menu proves Z can provide some serious quality in the hardware...
please confirm your problem here , so sony support can see this

Yes the problem still remains no matter what settings you do... I wonder if a rooted phone with a sound mod might increase the volume on the call side...?

Same here... Guess it's a hardware related issue. Xperia ZL, Xperia L, and others have this mic too... Shame on Sony.
Putting your finger on the microphone while recording a concert for example will clear the sound a bit out
Ohhh yes everytime when im recording a video ill put my fingers on the microphone infact when there are 2 microphones should i put 2 fingers on them, or maybe should i put fingers on the camera for better quality..... I checked EVERYWHERE for this problem and still nothing SHAME ON SONY ! ! ! !
Is there going to be a problem fix or we should carry on with the problem. Its annoying and unacceptable !
I have this problem too!
me too facing this problem. it's very annoying
I have this problem too and I tried carry this phone under warranty but they did nothing

It's both a hardware issue and software issue affecting the speakers. People have been able to force the speaker to be louder but it sounds like crap. Others have hardware modified it and been able to squeeze out twice the volume and clarity remained the same.
Hello guys!
I want to buy this phone but the sound recording quality is importante for me. I´ll record meetings and, sometimes, from about 3 or 4 meters...
Can anyone say if the sound recording quality is good? My question is becuase it is waterproof... maybe it will make the recording quality below average?
Thanks!

It really depends.
I've seen some people say that it was bad (according to their opinion)
But I've also seen that said there was nothing wrong with it.
The Z3C has 3 recording settings (in terms of sound)
Silent, normal, concert (something like that) so I guess you'll have to play around with those to see which fits the occasion best.
Here are 2 random videos I found, And in my opinion the sound isn't bad. Based on my own experience it's not bad either, but I'm not you, you need to judge it by yourself.
I'd say go to a store if possible and just record some stuff. (Please note that the Z3C doesn't come with a build in sound recorder app so you'll need to get one from Play)

My experience so far is based on two scenarios.. Concert and alarm test messages. Both are absolutely great in quality! Using sonys audio recorder to even record stereo audio.

I have not done extensive testing regarding sound, yet, but from what I have done I am impressed with the default sound. It has a wide sound stage, but very clear. However, I have recently purchased Sony's STM10U Stereo Microphone which works on the Z3 devices. There is also Sony's audio recorder app that works with this mic to download.
It really adds a studio type control, blocking out all external sounds, providing a more focused sound. Great for concerts. Comes with a wind cover which is handy for blustery days. This way, I have all my sound options covered.

If you record regularly I'd suggest investing in a decent mini microphone that plugs into the headphone jack. I find the built in mic no better or worse than other phones I've had, but have not done any detailed comparison.
I have found the sound quality absolutely perfect with the Z3C!!!
I play in a band and have always been jealous of how well my friends iPhones have been able to record our band practices. My z3 compact is loads, loads better than my galaxy nexus or HTC hd2 but still not as even good as the iPhone 4 I'm afraid when it comes to recording at very loud volumes.
I'm also using the Sony audio recorder. It works well but the files are massive and can only be saved on internal memory.
Hi, I am considering buy opt3 and I watched many reviews, but what I am noticed that audio recording have some issue. Voice is mufled and voice cancelling for overjob. Or is this problem past with new update? Thanks
Maybe I got a lucky phone....There is absolutely nothing wrong with my phone except for what's normal (OnePlus manipulate music!!) I hate that. I can listen to YouTube music normal. And games videos ECT...But when I play Google play music the sounds are everywhere!!

What do you mean when you say that Oneplus manipulates music? Is it the audio from the headphone jack and doesnt switching off the audio tuner fixes that?
So what is your result? Can you make it video with voice and post it somewhere?

I don't have any issues
But I have bought many devices past years. And what I learnt is that no mobile device is perfect according... You have to compromise somewhere...
Sometimes it's the
audio chipset( bad music quality)
Camera
Development
Ram
CPU
Looks
Screen
Or etc
You have to decide what you can compromise
So when you call someone, there is no complaint with your voice, or when you record video, a voice is clear, no muffled?
