Sound improvement on Android 10, WW-17.2018.2012.434 firmware

Option for Windows 10:

1. Install Minimal ADB and Fastboot. (I installed adb-setup-v1.5.2).
2. Go to: Settings - About phone - Find the build number and tap on it several times until you see: "now you are a developer."
3. We go: System -For developers - USB debugging - Turn on.
4. We connect the phone to the computer (without turning off the phone), a message will appear like: enable USB debugging - allow. Android Composite ADB Interface will appear in Device Manager.
5. Run PowerShell as administrator and enter the commands:
adb devices
adb shell pm list packages
adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 dk.icepower.icesound or, if you want to completely remove: adb shell pm uninstall -k --user 0 dk.icepower.icesound

6. After restarting the device and check the sound.

I managed to fix the sound.

Hi akshay.ruparel
Thank you for your asking. Does the situation remain the same in different cable earphones?
If you prefer Android 9 audio performance with your earphones, you may follow the steps below as 10 to 9 downgrade steps.
1. Download "Version MaxProM1_downgrade_to_9" and then put the image file into the root directory of the MicroSD card.

2. Insert MicroSD card into phone and then power off the device.
3. Long press with "Power" key and "Volume Down" key together and stop after feel the vibration to enter Recovery Mode
4. Use "Volume Down/Up" key and press "Power" key to choose "Apply update from external storage"
5. Select the downgrade file
6. When the updating process is done, Choose "Wipe data/factory reset" and tap"Yes" to perform the master clear.
7. "Wipe cache partition" > "Yes"
8. "Reboot system now"

Hi @Christine_ASUS
Thanks for replying.
Apart from audio, I really do like the other features that android 10 brings (v438) .

So currently in a dilemma on downgrading.

I love the audio performance of android 9(via Aux) .

Can you please confirm if the wired audio output will be improving in the next beta/stable update?

If you only have sound issue, you can check “ADB commands” solutions on YouTube.
The system maintenance of this device is probably finished. A device normally is taken care of for 18 months, and MPM1 had been maintained for 32 months since 2018.

Hi @Deannnnn
I guess all im asking is to *retain* the audio output of pie in A10.

It will be a perfect upgrade then.

"The system maintenance of this device is probably finished"--

Is this mean you will accept anything if Asus damage softwares and release it to customers. We have to keep calm and shouldn't ask to rectify this?

"A device normally is taken care of for 18 months, and MPM1 had been maintained for 32 months since 2018."--

So, Asus maintained so far hence, they should finally leave the device with bugs?
