The sound is very good. When I using (by example) the workman, I set the device to /dev/hdd (where my CD-ROM is). Then the workman play the CD, there is no signal in the line out of the back, but if I plug in the front of the CD-drive, I can heart the music normally. I can also change the track of the CD and the other functions of the workman.
