chng ur phn..the volume shud go up..ths wat it does..stereo widening is a process wer the phone compromises a bit on the bass and beat sides to increase the volume..thts actuly the practical usug..technically it is supposed to gv a greter thump to the quality of the sound...

see stereo widening here
*en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3D_audio_effect
in mobiles a hollow envelope of same frequency is created at very little time difference (wao effect)
which in turn fools our ears that the speakers speakers are put far from each other, give us a true stereophonic like sound form tightly packed mobile speakers

The stereo widening function in newer Walkman phones works differently than the older ones. It actually reduces bass and volume. The overall effect is also very poorly implemented and works decently only on a few songs. I always keep it off.
