    go thru your sound card input or mic jacks. need 1/8" stero male jack to sound card & depends on the connectors on the stero ouput.

    You need to connect the stereo sytem to your sound card, from the Tape Rec connections on the back of your amplifier.

    yeah, just take a cable with 2 1/8th in male ends, plug one end to your headphone jack, and the other to the line in on the sound card, or maybe even your mic input
