SOLVED
apparently these things are unable to even play music properly
latest firmware, latest walkman update as of half an hour ago
this is what happens every minute or two:
always two missing samples always 5 milliseconds apart
for months i thought my ears or my files had problems... until i sat down and investigated. turns out my files and my ears are fine, but the phone just can't play music without failing. jesus christ it's 2015, we have four cores, 2+ GHz and 2 GB of ram... this is not acceptable. We're not talking about details here, we're talking about the device failing to play a song from beginning to end without errors.
Onto the next one
noise when seeking
this is what happens whenever you seek in a song:
first of all it's the gap which creates unwanted noise, instead of smoothly transitioning from end to start.
second, is the completely irrelevant waveform before the song continues where you tapped.
in total, this creates a crack whenever you seek.
this behaviour is completely unacceptable. winamp for about a decade now has solved this issue and even has options how to handle it . What is sony's excuse? will you fix it?
Of course the sound issues on the z ultra are not limited to this problem only. Sound on the z ultra is problematic in general.
