A:Answer Given it is a budget sub 500 laptop, I'd say it isn't bad, it has Dolby digital, and it didn't sound cheap nor crackling like others of its kind. It was easy to control, and had some options for base and treble. Considering its price, I was impressed with the audio, but I also am not a musician or recording artist, so don't just take my word for it. It was better than a DELL, a HP, or Acer within that price range, without a doubt!
