Foldable electronic device including a plurality of speakers and method of operating the same

A foldable electronic device comprising:

• a first housing;
• a second housing coupled to the first housing through a hinge;
• a flexible display disposed to be supported by the first housing and the second housing;
• multiple speakers comprising a first speaker disposed in the first housing and a second speaker disposed in the second housing;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory operatively connected to the processor, wherein the memory comprises instructions, and
• wherein, when the instructions are executed by the processor, the electronic device is configured to:
• determine a first state in which the first housing and the second housing are unfolded or a second state in which the first housing and the second housing are folded to face each other;
• control sound output frequency characteristics of the first speaker and the second speaker to be first sound output frequency characteristics, based on that the electronic device is in the first state;
• and
• control sound output frequency characteristics of the first speaker to be second sound output frequency characteristics different from the first sound output frequency characteristics, based on that the electronic device is in the second state,
• wherein:
• the multiple speakers comprise a third speaker disposed in the first housing and a fourth speaker disposed in the second housing, the first speaker is disposed in a first area of the first housing, the second speaker is disposed in a first area of the second housing, the third speaker is disposed in a second area of the first housing, and the fourth speaker is disposed in a second area of the second housing, and,
• in case the electronic device is in the second state, a first stereo output channel is configured for the first speaker and the second speaker such that first speaker and the second speaker output a first side sound among stereo sounds, and a second stereo output channel is configured for the third speaker and the fourth speaker such that third speaker and the fourth speaker output a second side sound among stereo sounds.
