Steps:
1. Download APK (Android 10 | Android 11) & rename it to a easier name (eg. asi.apk)
2. Download App Systemizer module, install it and reboot (if you have the module installed earlier, skip this step)
3. After reboot, get a terminal app if you haven't already (eg. Termux), open it and type su, then grant root permission to it
4. Next, type systemize and you will see a list of options, then type 3 (Systemize given APK)
5. You will be now proceed to type the directory of where you save your APK (it should be /sdcard/download/asi.apk)
6. Then type 2 (/system/priv-app), and reboot the device
7. Find it in Sound or Accessibility section, then enable the toggle, it should be working now

Notes:
• Should work on any AOSP based ROMs
• You could also just use other ways to systemize the app by putting the apk in /system/priv-app directory if you know, else just follow the guide written above
• This is a different tutorial from XDA one back in 2019, you could read and find out the difference
• Tested everything on my own, it a cool experiment so would like to share out to you guys
