You can enhance the sound of your device by manually enabling individual sound settings such as Clear Phase and xLOUD, or you can let ClearAudio+ technology adjust the sound automatically. You can also enable the Dynamic normalizer so that differences in volume between different media files are minimized.
To enhance the sound output automatically

- Find and tap Settings > Sound > Sound effects.

- Find and tap Settings > Sound > Sound effects.
- Unmark the ClearAudio+ checkbox if it is marked.

- Mark or unmark the relevant checkboxes.
Note: The manual adjustment of sound output settings has no effect on voice communication applications. For example, there is no change in the voice call sound quality.
To minimize volume differences using the Dynamic normalizer

- Find and tap Settings > Sound > Sound effects.

Noise cancellation
- Your device supports noise-canceling headsets. By using a noise-canceling headset with your device, you can get much clearer audio quality, for example when listening to music in a noisy environment like on a bus, train, or plane. You can also use this feature to create a silent environment in which to study, work, or read.
Note: To ensure optimum performance, noise-canceling headsets from Sony are recommended.
To use a noise-canceling headset
- Connect the noise-canceling headset to your device.
- From your Homescreen, tap Apps icon > Settings > Sound > Audio accessories.
- Select the relevant headset type.
- Tap Sound effects > Noise canceling.
- If you want Noise canceling to be enabled only during music or video playback, or when the screen is active, select On (Auto).
- If you want Noise canceling to be enabled for as long as the headset is connected, select On (Always).
Note: A noise-canceling headset may not be included with your device at purchase. When a noise-canceling headset is connected to your device, you can also select the noise canceling headset type by dragging down the status bar to open the Notification panel and then tapping Audio accessories.
To adjust the settings to the noise environment
- Make sure a noise-canceling headset is connected to your device.
- From your Homescreen, tap Apps icon.
- Find and tap Settings > Sound > Sound effects > Noise environment.
