I often only use the left earpiece when listening to music and that can make stereo-mixed songs sound really weird. Instead of remixing my library to send all audio on both L and R it's easier if I can ask my player to do that for me.
On the desktop it's as easy as going to Audio settings and choose "Stereo Audio Output Mode" to "Mono" but I find nothing like it in the Android app.
I imagine I'm not alone.
How have you solved it?

On your Android settings (check the Hearing Accessibility menu) there is systemwide mono output availability on some devices.

Yep, that was a success! On my Sony it was under Accessibility -> Audio Adjustment -> Mono Audio On/Off toggle

Sweet. Glad I could help.

Are you using wired headphones? I believe my Bluetooth earbuds mono up content when listening with a single connected bud but I might be wrong.

In this case it was wired yeah. Tired of how true wireless just turn into e-waste due to battery health.
