    I doubt there is much protection on line-out connections.

    The sound chips have failed on both my workstations' motherboards
    over the last five years or so. They only seem to last a couple of
    years. Each time I've plugged in a USB dongle instead, and both of
    those have now failed.

    That's very odd.

    Or perhaps it's the speakers and their amplifiers.

    IMO, that's the logical conclusion.

    I've never had the audio chip on any computer fail -- ever. Nor have I
    ever had a USB audio adapter fail (though I've only used a couple of
    them over the years).

    Whence my optimism in replacing them.

    Hmm.

    I've never had an audio chip of any sort fail either on any of my
    computers. Even the ones plugged into my Denon AVR in the den - my old
    computer was 13-14 years old when I replaced it a couple years ago and
    it was used everyday with the AVR.
