wwwwwoww there cowboy, don’t be a plugging anything into your sound card just yet !

Your Mic input likes LoZ signal

Your ext. speaker out will contain enough juice to fry, at the very least, your sound card.

The easiest and crudest way to record direct is to plug your guitar into a stomp box and run a cable from the stomp box into the "line Level" input of your sound card using a 1/4 to 1/8 jack adapter.

Im not sure about your amps preamp out, this may be ok to plug into a "line level" input but Im not sure you may fry something. I bet Lordathestrings would probably know !
