What's the right way to connect a sound card to a power amp?

I don't think directly since i've a lot lot lot of noise...

Noise... as in hum? Hiss?

Many soundcards are horrible for noise. Run the computer volume full-out and use the volume control on the amp.

If turning up the souncard to max doesn't help, try updating the drivers.

Failing that, try swapping cards with another computer.
