Is there any way to test jitter using a pc line-in?

Hi

I recently built and new gaming pc and I swear something is up. With my odac/o2 combo music is sounding very slightly "out of tune" kind of like an incredibly subtle wow effect. I'm also getting split second almost subliminal "glitches". I did an RMAA test but that was basically identical to what I go on my old pc. I'm thinking the issue might be cause by jitter and possible packet loss. Is there any way to test for this using a loop back to my PC's line in? I'd like to find out if I'm imagining it and I don't have an oscilloscope handy!
