I think you might get by with a smallish stereo amp (10 or 20 watts would
suffice). You would connect the output of the sound card to CD or Tape IN.
I have a similar issue that I need to find an amp for; If I spot one in the
next week I will write back.

Before you do that, do you know what kind of sound card it is? A search of
the maufacturer would answer some questions before you go any further.
