Amp out to sound card line-in issues.

(I'm guessing this is the right forum for this...)

I've been lurking for a while, just reading random threads, and I registered recently, trying to find some info on this, but I couldn't.

I want to connect my bass the my computer. I've got a Sound Blaster Audigy 2, so it has a dedicated Line-in. My amp has a Line out and a Headphones out. When I connect my sound card to either one, the sound is choppy and noisy if I set the volume to where I can use it. At very low volume, it is ok, but I can barely hear it. I'm guessing that this is an impedance issue? Do I need an impedance matcher? Or am I looking at a more expensive purchase. I also got the idea of running a 2-in-1-out splitter, so that I can connect my headphones to my PC and my amp at the same time, so that I never have to go under my desk and swap connections. Would this work, or would having 2 input signals cause problems?

When I connect headphones to the amp, they sound great.

I'm using a Squier Jazz Deluxe 5 string, and a Behringer 15watt practice amp.

If any of you guys know what is going on here, I would really appreciate the help!

Nevermind. I solved it.

I learned that having the bass knob on the guitar, amp, and having bass boost with a high bass EQ on my sound card results in nasty things.
