    Does Android 5.1 Lollipop support audio output in mono?

    Does Android 5.1 Lollipop support audio output in mono? I prefer to hear music in mono, and this goes for the earbuds/earphones as well as the loudspeaker(s). In KitKat 4.4.2 this setting found in General Settings under Accessibility.

    Settings > General > Accessibility > Hearing > Audio type > Stereo/Mono

    On my KitKat phone the section named "Hearing" is very inconspicuous (easily overlooked) because the font is in light blue.

    If you have a Lollipop phone, would you please check your phone for this setting, and let me know your finding.

    Thanks,

    If Google/Android coders ever needed a good reason to implement Mono Audio Output, they just got one. California just made it illegal to drive with both earbuds inserted. Only a single inserted earbud is permissible while driving a motor vehicle or riding a bicycle. For reasons of safety, one ear must be left open to hear the external environment.

      While driving it's only legal to use only one earbud for quite some time here in Portugal and, afaik, in most European countries.
      Since the main purpose is to handle phone conversations settings for stereo/mono are quite useless imho.
      Can't provide more assistance since i haven't made the lollipop upgrade yet.

        JVC LT-39CA120 - Vestel 17MB171 - Android boot loop
        by Grut
        Hi everyone,

        My JVC (Vestel) LED TV is stuck on a Android boot loop when I switch the power on.

        Previously, I was trying to clean the storage memory (by deleting as many files as possible), I may have delete some start-up Android files.....so I screw it.🤡

        When I switch the power on, the initial JVC is shown. I have tried to run Android 9 from a bootable USB on the TV. It starts reading the USB but nothing happens and the JVC logo and Android boot loop keeps the same.

        Can anybody help me please finding the 17MB171 USB firmware to try to upload...

        Hisense 55Q9G Android reset / factory firmware reload
        by mon2
        Hello. Have a 55" Hisense TV that starts to load the Android OS (no backlight issues) -> reaches the app screen where you can view the assorted icons including Netflix and always crashes at the same point just after this launch. If I quickly press the cursor buttons, the cursor can navigate to the settings menu but will power off just after a few seconds of this activity. Do not believe it is power related since the crash is very accurate in the boot cycle.

        After the OS 'crashes', the power does go off and the from white LED goes dark for about 20 seconds and then ON again....

        How do modern TVs with Android/WebOS/Roku/etc boot? Debug ports?
        by jchon
        Hi I'm having issues trying to get my Sony A1E to power on.

        Which made me wonder, how involved is Android in the booting of the TV?

        I'm basing this information on what I can glean from the service manual:

        In my Sony A1E for example I see:
        BKA which houses the main processor and along with the input/outputs.
        DKA which possibly does up-conversion, in the block diagram I see VX1 coming in from the BKA and out to the TCON
        TCON timing board which drives the actual panel.

        On the BKA there's a sub-system called the U-COM...
