Stereo speaker balance, bottom speaker is louder
[email protected]
Level 1
Hello,
I have ROG Phone 2 12gb 512gb (official phone with asus warranty and official latest firmware). After nearly 2 weeks of using it, I recently noticed bottom speaker sounds louder than the top speaker. I thought each speaker in this phone has it's own amplifier and it wouldn't have the same unbalanced stereo sound like most other phones out there. Anybody else notice the same?
I guess it may also depends on the contents as well, but majority of the time, bottom sounds louder than a top speaker. Some contents, top speaker sounds louder than a bottom speaker. Is this a hardware or software issue? or both?
I hope asus release an update that allows users to adjust stereo balance.
Thanks

Same here.... But it doesn't annoy me as the difference is not always comparable...
Bottom speaker is bigger than top one So you may not get same loudness. But I personally don't feel any disturbance.
There is a small output difference but they've been tuned to give a good stereo image. Maybe not perfect but its a phone so compromises are to be expected when it comes to the speaker sound. The only phones that I've seen with better audio are phablets.
Welp, I just opened a new thread about this problem. And then I found this.
OP, do you have the same behaviour on headphones aswell?
For me it's not only the speakers it's also an unbalanced headphone (tried different headphones) output. The right channel generally sounds louder, even with a special file that contains the same data and volume on both channels.
might be 3D sound effect?
I thought the Same so I deactivated the Sound Wiz and reset everything. Still Same behaviour.
I believe, it's a system thing or low level setting. ☹️
hmm perhaps, @Anders_ASUS might provide u instructions on logging ur phone so that you can send logs to devs to check the problem
Hi Guys,
I too am facing a similar issue, that I noticed a while back. The only difference is that my top speaker is the louder one. In fact, if we cover the bottom speaker, it doesn't makes a difference in the sound comming from the device as a whole. This is really disappointing as this is basically now not a stereo setup as advertised.
Is this something related to A10 update as I noticed this only a few weeks back.
Please help.
I use the pop option in the audio wizard and it gives a better balance in top and bottom speakers. Do try it
Hi Kanu,
Just tried your tip, unfortunately no good.
What I noticed just now was that the Outdoor mode is having no effect on the sound i.e. its the same regardless the Outdoor mode toggled on or off.
So what I am thinking is that the A10 updated f'ed up the speaker settings. Any thoughts on this?
Thanks!
Also did anyone noticed that the bottom speaker blows air at high pitch and high vocal in outdoor mode(or normal mode ).try it yourself once and notify if you face the this issue as well.I noticed it during attending calls with speaker turned on.I tried to address this issue by creating a New discussion but niether@Anders_ASUS nor anyone of the moderater replied.
Could be. I'll test and get back to you
@anjubunny123 ...yup even I have noticed the air blows from the bottom speaker at max volume....
Is this normal or a fault?
Although rog 2 speakers are the loudest in any smartphone out there, they are not the best. So you can expect some distortion in high volume.
It is normal for this phone.
Can you hear any sound coming from that speaker at all? Could be that it's broken and that your device is in need of service
I tried the outdoor mode and it's just to much. Everything gets distorted being pushed to the limit. But also on my home hi-fi system as you approach the max loudness things turn bad. Everything over 75% of power is not recommended.
I am also facing same issue.. my top speaker is louder than bottom and am observing the issue after A10 updates
