Here's the deal: I'm buying a KVM switch that has everything I want, because I'm getting a second machine.

The only problem is I don't have a second set of speakers. I would use the 'line in' jack on my sound card (on my current PC), but I can't, because that is already taken up by my TV tuner's line out.

Are there any solutions to this that you can think of?

Thank you for your time,
Trauts

I use a Y adapter to run headphones and speakers from the same jack on my sound card...maybe you can use something like that.

Many TV tuner cards also have an internal audio header. It's often undocumented because many manufacturers don't want you to use it. But you can use it if it's there, to go to your AUX header inside the system (soundcard or onboard sound), freeing up the external Line-In.
