I didn't have to actually unhook anything and it worked perfectly fine.
Instead of doing this, I ran a 1/8" cable (which is included) from the headphone jack on the GuitarPort into a line-in on my soundcard.
The instructions say that you should plug your speakers directly into the GuitarPort and then run the line-out from your computer into the line-in on the GuitarPort. The GuitarPort has a headphone jack, 1/8" line in and RCA out. It's sort of odd this way, but you have a few options. That'll get the digital audio into the computer for recording, but you'll still need to hook up an audio cable in order to hear it while you play. The GuitarPort hooks up to a Windows-based PC via a USB port. Coupled with a PC, it lets you choose from various amp types, pair them with a cabinet of some sort and apply various effects. The Line 6 GuitarPort, as mentioned, is very similar to any of its POD products. We'll break the review down into two parts, first the GuitarPort and then RiffWorks. Note that if you already have a GuitarPort (which is available separately) then you can "upgrade" and pick up RiffWorks for about $100 from RiffWorks will also work with the POD XT, and the same deal applies for that. The box says "All You Need To Record Guitar", and aside from a reasonable computer, that's entirely true. The GuitarPort is used for modeling various guitar setups (like the POD XT) and getting your modeled sounds into your computer, and RiffWorks is used for recording licks and putting songs together. The GuitarPort RiffTracker is actually a two-piece home recording package, the hardware part being the GuitarPort and the software portion being RiffWorks. So when I had the chance to check out the GuitarPort RiffTracker, I was more than thrilled at the opportunity to play with what I'd hope would be the next big thing from Line 6. I've owned a POD 2.0 for about four or five years now and I always say it's the best piece of music equipment I've ever purchased. If you always wanted to play through a 1958 Fender Bassman coupled with a 4x12 1968 Marshall Basketweave with Greenbacks, you can do that on the POD XT. Its immensely popular POD line models the sounds of various amps and cabinet setups. Flip it again and dial in a 1928 National Style 2 "Tricone". For example, at the flip of a switch (or turn of a knob, actually) its Variax electric guitar can go from creating the fluid sounds of a 1959 Fender Stratocaster to the warm, grinding sounds of a 1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard. Its focus is on reproducing numerous popular sounds from a single instrument or amp. Line 6 makes some incredibly cool music products.
