Answer 1

for the best audio you can have if you have the correct sound card with let say optical or coaxial digital output then you can connect it to a surround audio receiver.

but that just will sound stereo no surround you need a digital connection and a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound card for that.

Answer 2

Sure is. you need a Y jack from the back of your comp to RCA jacks run to an input on your stereo and then select that input. I bought the Y jack at Walmart for a couple of bucks.
