Wait a minute, I thought you wanted to output sound from your computer (e.g. CD or mp3 or whatever) to something like a 2-channel mixer and then to an amp. ...Oh I get it you want to also record the output aswell. What I would do is take the two outputs to the mixer...the mixer gives you signal that goes to the amp and depending on your amo you should have a tape-monitor output that should allow you to record what is running thru the amp to a tape deck....and why not even re-route it to the line-in and record it on the PC. Is that what you wanted?
