Yes, the CD analog output is connected to the sound device and can be mixed with the normal output -- this also applies to the modem for example. The current driver does not make this mixing configurable yet. However I think you get better results by playing the CD in digital mode using the system's device. Mac OS X for example does this. > Well, I do not get anything out of it right now.

The port on the right side is a line-out jack for use with an amplifier. Do you get any "Enabled outputs: ___" messages on the console when you plug and unplug the headphones on the left and right front ports? Thanks, Marco.
