No, It won't (Normally)..
however if you are using a heavy duty stage mixer and are not too sure about the quality of the device, I suggest you use a USB sound card
If there is an internal leakage in the mixer (rare though) which gets fed to the line out on your lappy, that'll fry at least the op-amps on the sound out line on the motherboard...
Unfortunately, there are no cheap work-arounds other than buying a USB sound card (which are not too expensive anyway)
+ even a fairly cheap USB snd card (deidcated) will give you the benefit of better sound quality than the normally crappy soundstage on your internal board

The cheapest one is the Creative SB Live 24bit External but it is USB 1.1 *
Sound Blaster Live! 24-bit External - 24-bit ADVANCED HD, USB Setup, CMSS 3D
* Due to data transfer limitations of the USB 1.1 connection, it may not be possible to play back, record or simultaneously record and play back content at the highest bit rate and/or frequency supported
The cheapest USB 2.0 * one is the Creative SB Audigy 2 NX
Sound Blaster Audigy 2 NX - External Sound Card with 24-bit DVD-Audio, EAX ADVANCED HD and Dolby Digital EX for premium notebook audio
* USB 2.0 audio support is required for 24-bit/96kHz Multi-channel playback, and simultaneous playback and recording. USB 2.0 is only supported in Windows XP and requires online software update from Microsoft and Soundblaster.com when available
but I do not know the prices

I have a women freind who's name is DJ Kary, delhites may have heard of her she is pretty renowned. whatever discussion we are doing here abt sound out I had her do all this from past 4 years. when i first bought her a tecra laptop she used to use for all kinds of sound out. but then as she gradually went professional, I bought her a tascam US122 USB sound device which she uses to record live shows & also now sound out from it when needed as it is full ASIO.
To conclude, there is no issue at all with sound out etc. The only small prob one can face is if the studio equipment is not grounded properly & has a current leakage. for that u can buy a small surge supresser to pass the signal from. U can buy these filters from APC site. but there is absolutely no need to freak abt it. Studio equipments to what I have seen till date always use very good quality power inputs from Servos, CVTs etc that feed the already very sensitive sound equipment. This mean complete peace of mind in itself.
hope that helped
