Terrible audio equalization, any way to disable audio wizard?

[tsbreuer]

I have noticed that the audio wizard for some reason randomly decides to play with the equalizer to lower distortion or focus on a specific sound on the song, which ends up creating a mess.
I literally cannot manage to get it to sound properly through the entire song, because the audio wizard will try to though the entire song keep changing the balance to adapt, and it just ends up coming out as a complete shitfest. I have tried all 4 music modes and at this point i'm just looking for a way to disable the automatic equalization, let me deal myself with the distortion if it happens.
Its to the point i'm considering looking into rooting the phone and getting a custom rom when possible because this is terrible, it straight up makes the speakers go from sounding great to just sounding worse than any midrange garbage phone.
I really REALLY dont understand why you would make the audio equalizer not have an off option to just let us do what we want with it.

Yeah it might be better or worse depends on the condition.
I've noticed that it plays songs very well but after playing with the volume, or skipping songs, it will fight the volume with boosted highs and lower bass or some muddy mess.

Exacly, sometimes it will break entirely and you have no sound for a couple of seconds, playlists will freeze and so on. Also "very well" being relative here.

Yeah noticed that as well...
It's a shame cause ASUS can pull it off pretty good, the rest of the phone is great at least for me.

On my Rog 6 I also noticed strange problems with the Audio, The overall quality of the speakers today (and WW-32.2810.2206.95) is worse than my Rog 5. The sound waves are the worst when we listen to the smartphone on the speakers. The sound on the headphones after Jack, kind of ok, but slightly quieter and darker. The new update of WW-32.2810.2207.134 is supposed to contain. Optimize the sound experience, but haven't updated yet

Need a way to disable any audio processing too. My bottom speaker is making crackling noise while play songs with lots of bass, not hit style EDM but general atmospheric sound < ~200Hz. And I noticed when using HiFi very neutral IEM with ROG6's 3.5 jack that the EQ/sound processing by Dirac might be introducing this crackling sound. There is just no straight way to disable all these audio post-processing now. A HiFi mode is welcome and appreciated given there's a good DACAMP inside ROG6.
