The usb sound card is definitely the way to go. Even if you find a way to get the guitar jacked into the mic port the fidelity will not be good. 

 

They are not expensive:

Hi,

 

Chances are the port works like with the headphones that have mic and only one connector but then again try to test the port with a set of headphones to see if it works and if possible iwth a microphone. I'm not entirely sure but i think you need to play with "Recording devices" and set the port as the default recording the device.

 

Alternativeley, try an external USB sound card with a Line in functon ?
