I lost right audio channel in my Z2. Both speakers work fine. Out of 5 or so pairs I tried only one works fine on both left and right, perhaps due to slightly different dimensions. It must be phisical electrical contacts in the socket. The phone is into its second year in my hands. Only used quality headphones and didn't abuse it - no bumps, cracks - just wear and tear.
The question: if I send it to Sony repair centre how likely this will be covered?
Sorry to hear this but you would need to contact Xperia care and have your device inspected as we are a user support forum and have no authority over matters like this or have any influence over Sony about things like this http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/support/contact-us/
