Greetings. I received my Nexus 6 from Amazon. It seems as though the top speaker is considerably louder than the bottom. When I flip the phone upside down, it is still the top speaker that is louder.
When I turn the phone to landscape mode, it is the right speaker that it louder. I flip the orientation to where the former right speaker is now the left and vice versa. It's the same problem where the right speaker (the former left speaker) is still louder.
Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks man. I don't use Viper Audio so that thread wasn't helpful. I did call Motorola today and they are going to give me a new phone. Was hoping it was something simple that could be fixed easily.
Great. I was just saying that it looks as if you're not alone, but if Motorola are doing the right thing then that's a good result.
I am unsure how the dual speakers are set up (one on bottom plus the earpiece or both on the bottom) but my phone only has sound from the bottom left speaker hole. I do not see any settings to enable or disable the stereo speakers. Has anyone else experienced this issue and is there a fix? Or do I just have a lemon?

Same here. 2/3 bottom left 1/3 from earpiece. Did you Figuren out if it is a Problem vor a "feature"?
A lot of phones have dual grilles at the bottom but it doesn't mean they have two speakers there. I think Axon M has one speaker at the top and one at the bottom. If you are watching a video at landscape orientation, both speakers are used at tandem.

I think you're right. Most reviews also speak of one bottom speaker.
It's a bit strange anyways, that the earpiece speaker's volume is about the half of the bottom speaker. So the stereo effect is a bit weak. It's ok for me and it sounds quiet good but compared to my former Axon 7 it is a definite degradation.
At the bottom of the phone, there are two speaker grills. I'm only getting sound from the right one.
Is this normal?

Yes, one is for the speaker and one for the first mic This phone achieves stereo audio through the combination of bottom and front spakers
I have an S9+ and it has a software issue(pretty much all of them) in which notifications only play via the bottom speaker and not both
I was curious if the Note 9 has this software issue as well
Its easy to test for. Goto your settings and then goto sounds and vibration and then notification sound. Simply select something and see if it plays on both the speakers (earpiece and bottom)
Just through the bottom speaker (nothing through earpiece).

Nah man, we dont need stereo notifs, we just need to hear them at all
I'm not sure its an oversight. If you had the volume raised to a high level and an alarm triggered while you were on the phone, it could possibly cause ear pain / damage. Samsung lawyers probably had something to do with keeping the alarm ringing on the lower speaker only!
Hello! I noticed the bottom speaker sounds a bit louder than the top one, specially with higher frequencies. Is this specific to my unit or is this due do a difference between the speakers in this phone? Anyone can relate?

Be aware that stereo signals might affect your perception of them. Try turning on mono audio in accessibility settings.
As far as physical differences go, they are indeed different in size. You can see it here:

After 2 weeks of owning this phone, I just noticed it now. Bottom speaker does sound louder than a top speaker. So disappointed to find out that both speakers aren't equal I bought this phone mainly for front stereo speakers.
I think Top speaker is an earphone doubling as speaker. Bottom speaker is a dedicated speaker.
I noticed something strange. After turned off the phone for a few minutes and then turn it back on, now both speakers sound balanced just like when i just got the phone and had not noticed this issue until now. Please try turning off the phone, not restart.

Software problem
Not hardware
Speakers hardware are great
I hope Asus releases updates that allows user to adjust the balance of stereo. I think it's also the stereo frequencies in each content. some music, video, and games are noticeably louder on bottom speaker, and some are louder on top speaker.
I just turn on mono audio when the speakers are in use. The stereo separation doesn't work well enough for me, and it just sounds fuller.
I'm also aware that the phone has 2 vibration motors, but I noticed the vibration is much stronger at the bottom, anyone noticed this?

I can definitely relate to this. But overall, I'm very satisfied with the quality of the speakers.
Do y'all have your bottom speaker blown out or distorted?
guys Ive owned several stereo phones before and almost all of them sound differently, you just need to turn on Mono audio as other's have mentioned too.
this phone has great speakers, reminds me of my HTC 820 boomsound speaker which were pretty loud back in the day, but this is loud and clear!
Bottom Speaker sounds louder
@Mike845 Thanks for posting this issue as I am also facing the same issue. I am skeptical as this being a hardware issue because I saw jerryrigeverything's video on YouTube and top speaker is indeed smaller than the bottom one.
I want to know that are the top bottom speaker should be of same intensity or is there a problem with my unit. Also if buttom speakers are loud than top one and there is no issue then I am very angry with Asus as one of the reason for buying this phone was dual front firing stereo speakers.
For all the other folks, I request you to check your device for this issue(balance) using this link youtu.be/2ZrWHtvSog4 . Here you'll get perfect idea if speakers are balanced or not.
Please help me so that I know that if this is an issue.

Yes at high volume bottom speaker does sound distorted.
Tweak for balancing speaker audio
Okay, first of all switch off and reboot (not restart) your phone.
Then go to AudioWizard, switch to normal mode if not already then don't exceed the volume beyond 10 notch. Now check, speakers would be balanced and clear.
It becomes unbalanced only after 10 notches where only bottom speakers volume gets increased and not top. Also beyond 10 there could be distortion in bottom speaker.
Hope it helps.
Also in Asus ROG Phone III
It is on Asus Rog Phone 3 too, very disappointed. With black crush issue.

I don't know how YouTubers are saying that Rog has got the best display ever, paid reviews probably. These YouTubers are taking people for granted.
Asus's image processing is just ****, black crush, red tint and what not.
I don't know why I went with this when OnePlus 7 pro was equally priced. Regretting my decision.
