A very easy way of avoiding interference with your present computer audio 
is to use an external audio adapter such as turtle Beach.  These audio 
adapters are really mini sound cards that plug into one of your USB 
ports.  The one I use is only audio out ... which I use to send audio to 
the Signalink gizmo.  Audio that comes from the Signalink gizmo I connect 
to my regular "Line in" connector.  The Turtle Beach adapter I use is only 
audio out.  You can get them with both audio in and audio out which would 
allow you to avoid using both the audio in and out on your main computer 
sound card.  By the way they are very cheap and usually self install when 
you plug them in to one of your USB ports.  No need for the 100W iron.
