I'm using the iPad Pro 11-inch M2
When using the iPad in landscape mode, the sound volume of the left and right speakers is different
Whichever direction you rotate, the speaker on the charging terminal side sounds louder
I tested it with a mono speaker mod
Is it a problem caused by a difference in speaker unit size or is it a fault?
iPad Pro
As described, your iPad may have a fault - as all four speakers (arranged as a stereo pair) are technically and physically identical.
Begin with a forced-restart - as this will often clear an isolated software issue:
Force restart iPad (models with Face ID or with Touch ID in the top button)
If your iPad doesn’t have the Home button, do the following:
Force restart iPad (models with the Home button)
Press and hold the top button and the Home button at the same time. When the Apple logo appears, release both buttons.
If the problem persists after performing the restart, it may be necessary to reset your iPad settings. While this reset will not cause any loss of data, as a precaution, it is always wise to ensure that you have a current iCloud or iTunes backup before performing the reset:

When you are happy to proceed, you can perform the reset from iPad settings:
Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPad > Reset > Reset All Settings
If the problem still doesn’t clear, the next step is to reset the iPad to factory settings:

After the iPad restarts, you will have opportunity to restore your iPad from your backup; as a diagnostic exercise, do not initially restore the backup - as this may restore settings that are causing the issue. Instead set-up the iPad "as new" using your AppleID - and test your iPads audio. If the problem has cleared, you can restore your data and settings from your backup:

Otherwise, you would be best advised to seek assistance directly from Apple Support. You can contact the Support Team using the Support link at top-right or bottom-left of this page. Alternatively and perhaps easier, you can initiate and manage your support cases using the excellent Apple Support App. If not already installed on your iPad, the App can be downloaded from the App Store:

You might also visit the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store or Apple Authorised Service Provider (AASP) - where the technicians will be able to test and assess your iPad - and you can explore your available options:
