+  The Eros Q and related devices contain a stereo switch in the audio path.
+  This may be connected differently depending on the hardware revision. This
+  setting allows the behavior of the stereo switch to be changed if one of
+  the two outputs (Headphones or Line Out) is not working. There are four modes:
+  \begin{description}
+    \item[Normal.]
+      Headphones output uses a value of 0, and Line Out uses a value of 1.
+    \item[Reverse.]
+      Headphones output uses a value of 1, and Line Out uses a value of 0.
+    \item[Always 0.]
+      Both outputs use a value of 0.
+    \item[Always 1.]
