 **Caution:** Phone lines typically run at 6 volts DC when off hook. Sound cards like 5 volts so this more or less works. But you've **got** to unplug it before hanging up! Why? When hung up, phone lines bounce up to 48 volts DC, which your sound card is not going to like. Worse, when the phone rings, about 70 volts AC will come slamming into your sound card, and that's pretty much the game, folks. This will blow your sound card and very probably your motherboard right to the moon.
