soundcards generally don't put out anything but line-level signals and/or digital i/o. neither is capable, by itself, of hurting anything, and it certainly won't power a PA. that job falls to the amps that take the line level and boost it. if the amp can destroy the PA, the it can do so with or without the help of the soundcard :) --p
