Problem: Notification Sounds and Ringtones

[Global]

Hi everyone. I have opened a topic about the sound distortion in the beginning of any sound on device. Alexdon[http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/7878] helped me very much. But i have noticed something different.

I did a factory reset and a clean install the latest update. Whenever I receive a message, call, whatsapp message etc. (or something that causes a notification sound or call sound), the sound freezes a bit or some cracking or lag happens just before starting to play. I tested it both with normal boot and safe boot. Is this a hardware or software problem? I need some Sony Stuff to help here. I have read all Xperia Z1 forums and some people have this problem. And it is on my Xperia Z1 Compact. This is a suberb phone and I need some help. Can I really need to go to Sony Service? or Warranty?

And is there anyone who has this problem?

Guys? I just installed Android 4.4.4 firmware (14.4.A.0.108) that just gone live for germany too!.

And what should i say.. for now the crackling notification sound-bug is gone for me!!

So, cheer up, i hope it works for all of you!

Finally, some useful info! Gott sei Dank for that, I hate having a 500 Euro device with such **bleep**ty issue...

It took a while (3 months) for Sony to fix such a shameful issue (should have been fixed before launch of 757 since it's quite obvious), hope to get the update here soon as well...

a common problem among some xperia devices ( z1, z1 compact and z ultra) where the beginning of a notification or ringtone would have gaps and loud pops.
