No sound from media apps in headphones
Hello,
I bought an Xperia Z5 almost a week ago, and I'm very happy with it.
The first day or so, it worked perfectly fine. Now however I'm not getting any sound from media apps in my headphones.
I've tried Youtube, Netflix, Spotify and the preinstalled media apps such as Movie and Album.
Also tried with another set of headphones, still nothing.
I can hear keytaps, ringtones and selection sounds though.
Without the headphones everything works fine.
Is there a setting I might have missed somehow?

Hi @Robertods88, as we've said, we can hear keytaps, calls and FM radio as well. If this is a Hardware Problem, even that will not work. Right? I'm not an expert on Phone Stuctures/Hardware but I don't think there is a different line or specific part for any of that on the Headphone Jack. Bluetooth headphone are working fine, yes, but it does not mean it is a hardware problem.

Hi there,
I encountered this problem today, that was really boring. 😕
I tried Soundabout, but unsuccessfully for me.
I found a solution with the app Sony Music, the standard one (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonyericsson.music).
I'm on a french version, but I'll try to give you the good path :
Go to Settings > Music settings > Play with the option DSEE HX (toogle it several times)
For now, with this option disabled, I've sound from Media app (Music, Youtube, VLC for exemple).
I hope this workaround will help some of you. Good luck.
See you.
