Speakers ROG6, after ROG5

Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: ROG6
Firmware Version:220
Rooted or not: not
Frequency of Occurrence: every time
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app):
In addition to information above, please also provide as much details as you can, e.g., using scenario, what troubleshooting you've already done, screenshot, etc.
========================================
Dear developers, I have upgraded my ROG5 to ROG6. I was very surprised by the sound of the speakers not for the better. DXO claims the second place of ROG6, which I categorically cannot agree with, having ROG5 and ROG6 in my hands.
Below I will provide a direct comparison. At the moment I want to say that ROG5 sounds like a real music center. You feel the sound from 20Hz to the highest kHz clearly. In ROG6 I hear 50% bass vs ROG5, dont a subbuffer. The midrange frequencies in the vocal area play loudly, its good. But, there is no sense of mass on the vocals. Further, the area beyond the midrange - the "area of detail" plays with hissing and strains the ear. And finally, the high frequencies - they are strangled, they are almost inaudible, there is no "brilliance".

Dear developers, make the sound on ROG6 as wonderful as ROG5. You have raised the bar very high for the sound of mobile speakers in ROG5. Be kind and continue to match!

Speakers ROG6, after ROG5
Asus, as per usual, have decided to be complete fools. They have only put 1 AMP in the Rog 6, as opposed to the 2 AMPS in the Rog 5. The speakers on the Rog 6 are a complete downgrade, and no software update can make them better. Asus, with their utter retardedness, put crappier sound hardware in the Rog 6. Also, don't update your Rog 6 to the latest update, it will make the crappy speakers even more crappy.

I disagree, the CS35L45 is a mono amplifier, and should stand on every speaker. You just won't get a stereo

So why are you complaining then if you're disagreeing? The issue is the lack of the extra AMP which is present in the Rog 5.

The only problem is the need for a good Dirac setup.
When I had Root on ROG5, I replaced the dirac_resource.dar system file from different ROG5 firmware (A11.88, A11.231) to have better sound on speakers and headphones.
This system file needs to be modified so that ROG6 sounds at the same level as ROG5.
