IDK.. I had a Xperia Z1s and that thing worked fine. AUdio could easily be changed in setting on any app.
.297?
I have same issue there. I thought that because I rooted.

On my phones it had not worked since 4.4.4 in all music apps. But there might be something wrong with this, I don't use it as I want the pure sound

But you said you try root and non-root also....
For now, no lock bootloader root available.
Your non-root phone unlocked bootloader also?
If yes, that mean DRM patch doesn't fully work on .297.
Because I confirm .238's clear audio is work.
On nougat it's functional
locked BL, no root (yet)

Well guys,
I spotted a new problem, confirmed yesterday night (I wasn't sure, since I updated my new Z1 even before starting to use it). My old Z1 was running 4.2.2, though it had black screen wild restart issue from the opening (I was unlucky!), the equalizer were working without problem. I also use two amps that are able to boost the bass and enhance vocals by themselves so I was blinded.
Since I updated to 4.3 build .136, I don't have any equalizer working anymore. Nor the Walkmann one, nor Noozxoide, Noor Bass Booster. Nothing seems to work. Just a moment ago I had an update for Walkmann which was useless, the problem remains.
Is there a way to fix this? I'm not rooted. I will go the root way if I can sort this out. My only worry about root is the bootloader thing, a member already answered me about this but I had not the chance to check my version nor how to keep it unlocked if already unlocked.

I have a xperia Z1. Initially i unlocked bootloader because that time I thought it was the only way to root it.
I flashed the 4.2 and rooted...boom camera didn't work. Seems it's the autofocus that jams the app.
then upgraded to Jelly bean and the camera started to work again. Perfectly.
I recently upgraded to kit kat and now the camera is back to not working again.
I tried to restore the individual camera app but it didn't work
I can't find any others who has the same issue about kit kat and I find that odd,
Any suggestions?

I suggest you get the FTF for the region, customisation and FW you are on now and flash it using PCCompanion. Find them in the mega collection thread.
If there is not one then you can make one by following the guide in the OP of the mega collection thread

I flashed back to stock using this
C6903_14.1.G.1.534_Generic DK 1276-1249-R5A.ftf
and then I upgraded through sony companion
Voila! As simple as that.
Now I dont have root.
The weird thing about the bootloader is... I had it unlocked. Then I relocked it using flashtool, cause I thought it might fix the camera...Now I cant unlock it again using flashtool. I hit the BLUE button. I reboot in fastboot and I get that window with the Imei and unlock code.
I then hit the unlock button but nothing happens. The program doesnt react at all.

If x-reality is not working, maybe BIONZ is not working too :crying: Could someone test that?

Yeap...x-reality won't work, for bioniz I'm not sure but I think it's same.
Although, there is a way how to enable both on unlocked bootloader.

Yes, those are missing DRM when you UB. Those require for X-reality/BIONZ/other exclusive Xperia feature....
Imagine TA like multiple block. Each value has it own block. When you UB, those 3 block (MARLIN, WLMA, CKB) will be wiped but still recognize as DRM value (faulty). When you use some feature requires that DRM it will compare each block to original value, if match it will continue to work. If not, well you know the situation

It works across all music apps. You need to install the viper for lollipop apk and install the driver. Install SELinux mode changer and change to permissive. That should be all you need, but if it doesn't work go to developer options and check use awesome player instead of nuplayer...
It's an easy question to me SELunix no permissive in my cel so I can't install viper I used to have it and it's awesome... If you can't but Dolby it's Ah right
