The AndroidSystem doesn't seem to have a way to allow to disable the audio renderer, see code below: https://github.com/jMonkeyEngine/jmonkeyengine/blob/09b862de494de745119a0da339ae9a7f22a68865/jme3-android/src/main/java/com/jme3/system/android/JmeAndroidSystem.java#L79-L86 Setting audio renderer to null, as you would do with desktop, causes the engine to crash, due to the missing nullcheck.
