Yes.

This dpeends on how your PC is equipped, what do you expects 
to get (is analogue stereo / dolby surround enough or do you want 
digital 5.1 channel sounds) and the installation environment 
(what kind of surroudn system you have, are those on same room etc.)

In simplest cases this connection can be done by just 
by putting an audio cable with 3.5 mm stereo plug and two RCA plugs 
on on it's ends between your soundcard audio output connector 
and line level input on your surround system. 

On some more complicated cases you could need noise 
suppressing components (to get rid of humming noise) 
on audio connection to get useable sound quality. 

Digital audio connection between your PC and surround 
system is another story.
