You could attenuate the speaker outputs and feed those

Why do people insist on giving advice for tricks

Even a microphone

your idea.


Why do you say this? There is no reason why the speaker
output should be particularly bad. At moderate level it
should have distortion below about 0.1%, which is
inaudible for 99% of music. And of course the
Distortion isn't the problem. The problem is noise.



idea that inserting a speaker and mic into the equation
might actually improve thing is quite laughable.

It would be an improvement over directly connecting a
speaker output to a line level input.

Not in this universe.
