Stereo speaker balance, bottom speaker is louder

[ZT-0b0e9d91]

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

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. ☹️

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
