Asus Zenfone 5 ZE620KL low volume

I hope after this Asus can provide firmware to improve the volume sound of Asus Zenfone 5 ZE620KL which is too slow. Volume has lost by 50% after I upgraded to android Q and remains slow even though I have upgraded to android P again.
I bought Asus because of its sound quality.
Hope Asus cares about this.
Thank you.

I think the problem of music sound is not strong on earphones due to the audiowizard application not working properly.
