speaker channel imbalance - ASUS ZenFone 6 (2019) Questions & Answers

Does anyone else experience an imbalance of voices between left (earpiece) and right (bottom speaker) channel when watching videos in landscape? It's really strange because first you hear the voice from the main bottom speaker and half a second later it's hissing out of the earpiece which is really disturbing.
Is it maybe fixable in the kernel or is it possible given the crap quality of the earpiece to disable it all together as clearly 95% of the sound comes from the bottom speaker? Maybe by you? @Freak07
Kind regards

Stereo recording volume too loud?!

I have horrible noises when recording video (tested only 720/1080p).
Did some testing and tried unchecking "stereo recording", re-shoot the same clip and voila! No more crackling, popping, hissing and over-amplified sound.
I mean you can hear my feet shuffling for couple of centimeters when i pan around...what the hell is up with this? Plus if there's cars passing by quite far away, they sound like trains over rails...lol
Normal voices seem to be so over-amplified that the sound hisses, pops and crakles when one speaks. It's kind of the same effect as in-call sound if it's too loud (well, more than 50% ear speaker volume): you hear the same cracking...
Is the feature broken and needs to be disabled or did i miss some microphone volume adjustment settings somewhere?

AOKP / Left speaker balance / swaped left and right

Hi there,
since i flashed ICS AOKP i found the right speaker was much louder than the left one.
OK, searched and applied the fix from the DEV forum.
For me this did not solve the issue, so i thought the left speaker was broken.
I installed Mobo player from the market, there you can mute the speakers individually. When i mute the right speaker, aktually the left speaker got muted... and vice versa.
Anyway i found that the left speaker was still working and that if playing a video the difference in volume is not so critical compared to the standart Android sounds, so i guess my speaker is not broken.
Has anyone observed something likely?
Cheers,
Happen

Speakers problem

I was unable finding anything about this problem so I decided to ask you guys here. So the thing is that my top speaker is louder than my bottom one. For example when I watch movies/videos in landscape mode I can always hear the sound coming from the left (top) speaker louder than the right (bottom) one. It's as if there is a small subbuffer integrated to it or something. By the way if I watch movies or some clips on youtube and decide to turn the phone clockwise even though the top speaker is located on the right and the bottom one - on the left, the audio is always like this top=left and bottom=right, so I can't decide wether or not it's a software or a hardware issue. So is this a normal problem? Is it possible that you guys have it but dont notice it? Is it a software or a hardware malfunction? Is it fixable?

High pitch noice on the others on videocall

When i make a video call the other users report that they hear a high pitched sound from me for a few seconds.
I read that when loudspeaker is on and i make a videocall the top mic is used. Have you experienced a similar issue? I believe that when the front camera pops out and then the sound of the motor is sent through the mic next to it.

Question Top speaker louder than bottom one?

Hi,
is it just my devices, or is it present on yours also?
When I watch, say, a video on facebook/YT/music and tilt phone to landscape, the top speaker (in this case left one when in landscape) is noticeably louder than the bottom (right) one and has a slightly different sound-color.
I presume it is normal since the shapes of mesh through which sound is firing and possibly the speakers are little different ... so just checking whether ask for repair or it's just how it is.
Thanks
Same here. Which is odd since most of my other phones the loud speaker is usually louder than the earpiece speaker.
Thx, good to know. I also noticed, that the sound is coming rather from right side of the bottom grille. When I go with my finger covering the bottom speaker, it stops playing when I cover the right side, not the left.
Try turning on Dolby Atmos, it resolved the balance issue for me.
Settings > Sound > Audio Settings > Dolby Atmos
Unfortunately it also changes the sound out of headphones, etc. I find that using the custom equalizer with "Intelligent Equalizer" off seems to keep the sound about the same as with Dolby off.
I'm not exactly sure why this fixes it but I assume that it's a software issue not a hardware one...
