Xperia Z5 too low ringtone volume

Hello all,

I was using Xperia Z5 almost 3 month and was very glad with my phone until i get 6.0.1. Now i have very big problem with my phone, it is doesn't have stereo speakers anymore.

When i listen music or watch video or play game sound volume is normal but it not balanced top speaker very lounder than bottom speaker and worst part is that when someone call me my ringtone is really really too low it not possible to hear it.

I try to repair my phone with Sony Comp. it didn't work.

Most probably if i can't find a solution for it i will buy another phone and i will never buy any Sony phone because i was have exactly same problem from my previews Xperia Z3+ thats why i bought Z5 but i have again the same problem.

Thanks

BR

Yeah i can confirm that issue, seems to be a bug in the software controlling the bottom speaker. It's very dumb, hope Sony will fix it in a few days. My Device was coming home today from the Repairservice and they have updated the device to 6.0.1

I've been using Z5 for a good while now and the incoming call ring volume is too low. I've maxed out every possible volume slider but still it is really quiet.

With Z5C I was able to cheat with a little trick: once I selected the ringtone I was able to use the volume + button on increase the volume, it would make the ring tone louder even when the normal volumeslider had been maxed out earlier. The same trick is not working in the Z5, but it really appears to me that it is a software bug.

Has it always been like this with Sony phones? The volume level of any given software is much lower than on other phones I've used. Is there any 3rd party app I could use to increase the incoming call volume?

I think all high range phones are like this from Sony side also i have Z5 Premium. (Also i have same problem for Z5P but it didn't decreased too much as Z5)

Try turning on clearaudio+ and dynamic normaliser is sound settings. This increases volume
