It is worth understanding what frequency range you're interested in.
Soundcards are typically 20Hz-20kHz.
SDR often has a limited bandwidth and doesn't go below ~30MHz.

Often for oscilloscope purposes you're interested in DC, which is outside
the range of this hardware.  Soundcards may go that low, or maybe it can if
you remove a series capacitor.
