Try out this

Glad to hear that the bass issue has been fixed, I'm doing the update now, I'm just curious, does anyone know if formatting the SD card makes a huge difference to performance? Transferring all my tracks off and then back onto the SD card will be a major hassle that I'd rather not have to do if...

I think the issue is that in order to address the problem, they would first have to acknowledge it, which they really don't want to do. I've just been left in the dark by support, whenever I ask for an update I just get a copy and paste email saying that it's been forwarded to the engineers...

I just tried to but it's not letting me log in or create an account

We need to create a flow diagram of all possible combinations and outcomes at this rate 😂

I think it if it was due to temperature then we'd see far less consistency, unless every single one if has the same temperate house, I guess someone could try cooling and warming their Walkman 😂

Even if you didn't provide a solid fix I think you've provided the first real evidence that it's software based, which will be really useful for all the people thinking about returning theirs!

That is indeed me

I'm looking at the reply, and if I'm not mistaken they're saying that the claim that it's a software issue is coming from an end user/a customer and not directly from Sony. There's still no actual written confirmation from Sony support that the issue is firmware related, everything is still...

Do you have a source for this? Last I heard what that this was from a more informal phone conversation and they put nothing in writing. Until it's in writing it means nothing.

Did you have the issue every time? I'm thinking that it might be a hidden setting that interacts with the firmware. So I have a potentially interesting development, to do a controlled test I decided to first start by doing the bare minimum at setup, I signed into the wifi and that was it, and I...

I was talking with someone on a different forum about the potential causes in firmware/software variation between the functional and defective devices (rlw6534 , I believe they're also active in this thread). They mentioned that there were different firmware variants for devices depending on the...
