2.1.3.7 EA (Kymijoki) Xperia X: bad music playback over headphone
asked 2017-11-04 20:36:06 +0300
(only) since I updated the Xperia X to 2.1.3.7 I have a lot of noise (like a badly tunes FM receiver) when listenting to music via headphone. Speaker sound is fine. I used both, the native media player and allradio. Before updating to 2.1.3.7 sound with sailfish X was fine. It is also fine with the Jolla C which is not yet updated to 2.1.3.7
The earphones I was using are Ultimate Ears (UE) UE 900 and UE TF10

I know that there are reports on noisy earphone sound previously. However, so far none of my devices (Jolla 1, Jolla C, tablet and Xperia prior to updating) was affected yet.
i also have this problem using same device and os version. i notice its very apparent at low volume and almost sounds like its cutting out as well as big distortion. It effects both the native applications and android ones such as deezer. cheers.

The sound in Jolla Tablet is very loud since I update to 2.1.3.7. I can't use my earphones because volume level is loud and I can't lower it: https://together.jolla.com/question/172044/bugtablet-distracting-loud-system-tones/

Not sure if it's a problem with audio settings or a lower-level problem with power saving states or something along those lines. I hope somebody at Jolla could look into this rather soonish. It's not a subtle issue. I tested the device briefly in Android before I flashed it, and audio didn't have that problem.
