Mono audio is an important accessibility option for the hearing impaired, Windows has it built into the OS and so does Android. We need a way to combine left and right channels into one. I am sad that Linux still does not offer us this accessibility feature, although I have found numerous workarounds to enable Mono playback, I have yet to find a method that works for me in Kubuntu 22.04. What is the most current and viable method to force mono audio output for all audio devices?

I am on Kubuntu 24.04 and the follow procedure works for me like you want:
Follow the first procedure on this page:

For me in the 24.04 i had to install Calf Plugins and reboot the system. For you i dont know. Easy Effects says that flatpack still have the Calf plugins incorporated. In my case i already had Easy Effects, so i prefer to install Calf plugins and not the entire Easy Effects Flatpack.
i tested what you want and it works.Last edited by Virginio Miranda; Aug 04, 2024, 07:44 PM. -
You might look at EasyEffects which seems to have options for mono output
I don't think this problem is specific to any distro or desktop environment.
If you are using a Bluetooth device, you may have some output or sink/codec options that may offer mono output, instead of using the default "analog Stereo" or "Digital Stereo"Comment
