Thankyou

It is not clear from you post what you actually want to achieve..
Sound card of your computer may be a good recording device (it has ADC's) but it also has a limited bandwidth (being an audio device) so you have to include some sort of detector to your project.

There are kits for receiving radio signals from Jupiter, they may be used on Sun as well.
