Will this work?

I was wondering if anyone knew if this setup will work. I would like to avoid purchasing a sound card if possible, my plan is to run usb from my pc to the E7/E9 combo and run 3.5mm/RCA from the E9's pre-out to my receivers zone 2 powering my bookshelf speakers, while also allowing me to adjust the volume through the E9. Would I also be able to use the subwoofer out from the onboard sound card, or would this be a bad idea?

If this setup doesn't work, would it be better to just purchase a sound card?

FYI, I don't have the bookshelf speakers or the E7/E9 but I plan on purchasing them soon

Heres an image of the backside of my receiver.

Line out to line in should work fine.

But why not just run optical from your sound card to your receiver?
That will likely net you the best sound quality.
 
Because if I want to run to zone 2 speakers, they only accept an analogue signal. Also I realized that if i want to use the analogue from the onboard sound, I won't be able to use the usb to the E7/E9.

So I will probably just get a sound card.
