I had a similar situation with the "default" settings when I bought mine. The back speakers were whisper quiet and sound was fading in an out (not even surround). I reset all settings to default to clear the slate and start tweaking the settings and it resolved the issue. No tinkering required for me after reset to default.

Mine is older though so I don't get the app. But try resetting to default and listening first before tweaking further.

I guess so, but I seem to recall reading that the output strength isn't very high so there could be weird results if you swapped out a totally different set of back speakers.
