Ok so i have a little odd issue with my xperia z walkman. im on a modified stock but even on regular stock and with any headphones very rarely and with 2 specific songs its more frequent. While listening to music the right headphone side would drop sound for a half of second, literally like 30ms. i was wondering if anyone had this issue before?
also the music files are ok because they play on windows fine.

I've had my Xperia T for 3 days, It's been updated to 4.1.2.
I'm experimenting the very same issue, I've tried with another player app (n7player), to no avail.
I'm very disappointed as I bought this phone because of Sony's Walkman software.

[Edit]
Edited this post to offer some kind of bypass solution.
Using "Wakelock" to acquire "Partial WakeLock", I was able to get continuous music playing, even when the screen goes off, with either Sony's Walkman or 3rd party player.
The side effect is a probably higher battery drainage, as it prevents CPU going to sleep mode, for what I've understood.

The music issue is a known problem with the JB 4.1.2 update on 2012 Xperia's. I have successfully used Poweramp with no problems. It is not free, but there is a 15 day free trial. You can see if that helps you. I don't work for Poweramp; just a suggestion to let you listen to music with no interruptions.
I was not happy with this either, but I've found Poweramp's sound quality to be so much better than any version of the Walkman app that I'll keep using it even if Sony fixes the Walkman problems. Even Google Play Music sounds noticeably better than Walkman. In addition to fixing the music pausing when the display is off, Sony needs to work on its sound quality IMO.
The UI for Walkman is very slick though. I hope Sony sorts all of this out.
Hello everyone
Bought my Xperia T on white about two weeks ago. It's a really awesome phone, don't have anything to complain about. Good battery, nice UI, etc.
Updated it in the first day to 4.1.
However, I've got 2 weird audio bugs:
1. No matter what music player I have, music occasionaly skips a few seconds. I tried:
-other music players
-re-inserting my 32GB microSD card back.
Nada, the bug is still there.
Gotta mention something: I don not use any equalizer presets or ClearSound/Bass/Whatever music effect Sony gives me. I find them all rubbish.
2. I occasionally have issues when I pull my headphones out... I am used to Android phones, and I know there are separate volumes (I had a Galaxy Spica and a Moto Defy+) but this one has a really weird behavior. It sometimes doesn't "understand" that the headphones are out. But that can be solved easily, by re-inserting the headphones. Lately, for some reason, it didn't happen too much. I don't know, I have a pair of small in-ear Sennheiser headphones, not Sony ones...
3. How can I properly give album art to my music? Media Go tried something, but didn't do much... should I try via Wi-Fi? I've got about 2055 songs. Should it take a while?
Many, many thanks.
Poweramp->settings->audio->advanced tweaks->audio buffer size / audio thread priority. Have you tried changing those?
Hy, for me when i use my beats by dre headphone in Bluetooth with the maximum sound, the sound is low. I did to make a "begin of call" the sound level Bluetooth go up like in ICS. After a few minutes if i stop the music, the sound is low another time.
Any idee?

Something similar happens to me sometimes where the music will just stop playing only to resume a few seconds later for like no reason (no incoming calls or anything). Sometimes it will stop playing at the Walkman icon in the status bar disappears so I have to go back to Walkman app and start the song over. Not really sure why it does this. Haven't had any issues with 4.2.1 yet though, seemed to be an ICS issue for me at least. I noticed my Xperia ion did the same thing but it was much worse with the ion. My roommate has the ion and just updated to ICS and told me it happens to her still even post update.
For the record I have the AT&T Xperia TL and a 32GB SD card with 95% of my music on the card.

Seems that PowerAmp works really well, however been wondering if there's a free alternative out there.

Not any good...
So in the last few days i see like.. a LOT of topics started with the title (audio problem etc)
The problem is that de Xperia Z doesn't recognizes an headphone with a inbuit microphone (like the Apple Earpods)
However... the Xperia Z does recognize headphones WITHOUT microphone buit-in!
Try using a normal pair of earbuds without mic and see if the problem is still there... im 100% sure that this is the problem and not with the new update! (or your headphone jack is faulty)
Also had this problem with my Xperia Arc were the music sounds muffled..
So you want to use headphones with inbuilt mic with the Xperia Z?
1. plug in the headphones
2. start the music player (dont play music yet)
3. press a few times on the play button/answer button on the mic and the music will start trough the headphones!
This is an issue with the software on the Xperia Z and not with 4.2.2
greets,
Harvey

Except that for most of users having this problem, the headset was working under the 4.1.2 and NOT with the 4.2.2 update so it think it's an issue with the 4.2.2 update or something like that as you can read it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2355500

It's because of the headphones entrie, you maybe have some dust on it . Try to cleanup with a needle for now.
Hello,
I am noticing problems in the sound of my Z1, mostly only with its external speaker (I mean, not when using headphones). So I am pretty sure it is not a software problems, or it should be through the headphones too.
I have played some songs to test it well, disabling all the clear audio, normalizations, jingles and bells. Also the eq disabled, xLoud disabled. All the sliders of the eq at min (-10). Then I have put the first slider (400hz) at 0, and moved it between 0 and +10, adding later also the 1khz one.
This way I was able to track the problem. Can you please confirm if you too, with some different songs, can hear from the speaker a somehow distorted cracking sound? You can play also with the volume, normalization and xLoud to make it more evident to your ears.
I also have noticed this problem using some free apps to make music. So I would like to invite you to try it too, with any app you may have to make music, or try the one I used, which is SphereTones. With this app I can clearly notice that the sound is perfect through the headphones, bad through the speaker.
Then I tried an app called Springs (if you search for it you find many and I cannot post link because this is my first post, so, well, it is an app whose name is simply "Springs", with a white icon with black spheres. Developer bérenger recoules, category "music & audio"). With this app the sound is very bad also through the headphones. The developer has got no idea why and the reviews are good so I am curious to discover with you if the problem is in every Z1.
I also have noticed that the quality of all possible audio recordings (audio notes with any note app, also the mini app of the Z1, and also the apps to make loops with your voice) is very bad.
And finally, the phone calls quality is not so good. In this case there is no difference between headphones of speaker, so I have no idea why.
I discovered that in the call settings there is an eq and setting it to smooth is a good idea, also by disabling the speaker voice enhancement the problem is reduced, but not completely. Basically, the sound is somehow buzzing/crackling/scratching.
So.
Do I have a faulty phone?
THANKS
Well mate you skip important part.
If you suspect it's software fault - could you tell us which firmware are you using?
Are you on 4.3 or 4.2.2?
I don't have that problems, I found XZ1 very good, clear and loud (I'm not even using my bluetooth handsfree anymore - in the car - I just flip to speaker and I hear other side loud and clear).
Also, even I'm not that much into music - I'm very satisfied with sound (YouTube or walkman)...

Mine sounds fine too, back on 4.2 and still in 4.3

Ah, right, sorry
So, 4.2.2, because the 4.3 is not yet available in Germany.
All the apps and system, all is updated to last version.
I did a factory reset and also a software repair with the pc companion, but nothing changes (apart the lost of time and some problems while recovering the backup, damn it..).
Ok, faulty phone then?
Did you try with this spheretones app? I am curios because with that app (which well, the only problem is that sometimes it is kind of difficult to create the sphere) the distortion is very clear, while with music it depends on the music, some make it more obvious...
