The specs of this phone lists it as having AC3 support, but it doesn't.
I'm not very technical minded so I had to take advice from someone who is. Basically every time I uploaded a HD video to my phone it had no sound, and yet all the SD videos played fine with sound. So after enquiring about the problem it seems that our beloved Xperia Z cannot play AC3 sound which I am informed is the fairly standard surround sound format for most HD videos. This is ridiculous surely, a top end smartphone that lists AC3 support in its specs but doesn't actually support it meaning nearly all of my HD videos have no sound when played on my phone.
Has no one else noticed this, I'm pretty peed off about it actually. I love the phone but come on Sony!
