There's nothing to stop you taking the audio line-out from a sound

However, PCs tend to be very 'noisy' inside and you may notice a lot

sound outputs.

No they don't. I do exactly this with my sound card (Echo MIa), and it
is of extremely high fidelity, and has never made even the slightest
pop or whistle. If you are getting extraneous noises, it is very
likely you are running your sound card on an inadvisedly shared
interrupt. It certainly isn't normal behaviour.
