The big problem with a tiny mini jack is just that if it gets hit by
anything it will break and be a mess. Also vibrations can cause it to
be noisy. But in a matter of a few years it should work great.
I have the same thing and I remote it out front and plug in good
earphones and a mike. My hearing is poor and no room for a pair of big
speakers. So I listen to my music from the sound card on my motherboard
and the sound is GREAT!
