Equalizer problem after lollipop update

Hi. I just noticed that equalizer is only working with walkman app. It worked just fine in kitkat.

I'm afraid i don't know for sure if this decision was made within Sony or by Google but as i understand it, the global Equalizer was removed in Nexus as well and i also found this: http://developer.android.com/reference/android/media/audiofx/Equalizer.html

"NOTE: attaching an Equalizer to the global audio output mix by use of session 0 is deprecated."

Could you elaborate more? what do you mean by "only working with walkman app"? are you saying that other music players equalizers aren't working? if so, contact the app developers as they have to address that bug.

I mean that the equalizer is not active when using other apps like youtube.

the equalizer its only for the walkman app, other apps have different settings. Google music has its own equalizer.

I've not seen this, are you sure you aren't just thinking it applied to all

Im 100% sure. Maybe it was a bug... But it was really useful.

@ville672 

got my hands on a Z3 running 4.4.4, I can't hear the equalizer working on youtube but it does on walkman, any suggestions on how to test this further?
