Hello Zilvinas,
This should work very well:-)
The IQ signals are balanced and the proper
procedure would be to use a differential
amplifier to convert the voltage difference
between I+ and I- to a voltage difference between
the ground reference and the input of the soundcard.
You can try just putting a wire from I+ to
the soundcard input. A capacitor in series
might be needed. The simple solution might
add hum and noise near the center frequency.
Such problems are cured with the differential
amplifier.
Then, do the same for Q:-)
