Thanks for all your posts they were very helpfull..

What was clipping? Your sound card? Your Mixer? Your amp?

If the line levels and volume are turned up on your soundcard you should have plenty of headroom.

I don't use my laptop for shows but I do use an external USB soundcard on my desktops mostly just because in my opinion the onboard sound on motherboards tend to not be the best quality. A subjective opinion to be sure. It's also necessary if you are trying to run something in the background like Winamp.
