I have a cable (from Radio Shack) with a mineature stereo phone plug on one end (fits the sound card line in jack), and a pair of RCA phono plugs on the other end (fits the tape out or tape-rec jacks on the HiFi amplifier/receiver) (no attenuation).
When I tried this I got a nasty ground-loop hum on the cable. Soldering in a 10k resistor across one of the lines in the cable seemed to get rid of it without disturbing the sound quality. I think I knew why that worked at the time, but I'm no EE... I was using a SoundBlaster 16 which wasn't the best quality, so perhaps that had something to do with it.
Anyway, a $3 fix if you run into it.
