      Hello! So I happen to have bought a portable gaming device (the waveshare gamepi43) and I have a problem with the audio. You see, It only has one speaker so it only supports mono audio. What I am trying to say here is. Is there a way to make it so RetroPie will use mono audio with all of my games? I'm really stuck here. Certain games I play uses stereo audio and its really annoying to not hear everything (for example the ring panning sound effect for most sonic games). I would love to have this fixed

        Seems similar to the GPICase. You'll have to configure the ALSA soundcard accordingly, here's an example for the GPICase.

            Just realized this thing had an audio jack for headphones. So that got me thinking: Is it possible to have mono audio on both ends. Seems like the solution for this problem has it on only one side. And if I do this. Will it cause problems?

              No, there's nothing extra to install, the file mentioned just configures the audio output.

              ... Will it cause problems?

              I really didn't understand what exactly you're trying to say there.

                what i mean is... If I set both left and right to go off with the same sounds. Will it cause problems with reverb? IDK I'm just curious

                EDIT: Just found an intireley different problem that doesnt have to with audio but an emulator. Should I post it here or create a new thread?

                  I don't think so.

                  If it's not related to the audio configuration for stereo to mono conversion, then please open a separate topic.
