Not on my XPERIA Z5 with 32.1.A.1.185 firmware.

I Clear data in Settings --> Apps --> Audio settings and now Automatic optimisation works.

But how does work this Automatic Optimization ?

Now I am listening music through my AKG K67 headphones and I activated this Optimization but, right now, I am hearing same sounds or effects, so what does change ?

It, clearly, works without Clear Audio, right ?

[Bhonder]

Clear audio, dsee and optimization are mutually exclusive. If you try with different headphones and optimization, after a while, the sound should change as soon as optimization kicks in. In most of cases quality should improve.

STILL NOT WORKING.

[SenseiTJ2]

Running the latest firmware, A.1.185 etc. Phone is not rooted.

When selecting automatic optimisation or ClearAudio+, the sound becomes incredibly distorted and deafening.

This problem has existed since the update to 6.0. I am quite shocked that this has not been fixed. I bought a Sony phone due to the brand rep of Sony Walkman, where I expected the same audio quality.

Please advise

What ear/headphones are they?

[SenseiTJ2]

I don't think the headphones make a difference? However, they are Sony headphones.

[Lord_viridis]

Which ones?
It does make a difference if they are powered at all by their own battery.

[SenseiTJ2]

Their just wire headphones, no battery or amp. I believe their MDR-1A or something like that.
