I warned about this.  Please see below.  There are some devices that allow 
you to do this without the risk to your computer.  One is called a "Hot 
Plate".

Be careful about plugging a amp output into a computer.

I often put my guitar through my laptop by connecting the guitar amp's 
output to the laptop's mic input, listening to the results on headphones.
 I would like to know how I then go onto output the sound from my laptop in 
a live setting, perhaps to a guitar amp (i.e. buy a USB input device, plug 
my guitar directly into that rather than the guitar amp and output the sound 
to amp) although that would result in a mono output.
 Sorry if anyone takes offence at my lack of knowledge or being off-topic; 
I mean no harm. :-D
