Yes but we have to take impedance into account aka a speaker may only be 8 ohms and the laptop input possibly thousands of ohms (that's probably why it lasted an hour instead of a second). As far as a headphone out into a mic input, technically it should be OK assuming the gain can be reduced low enough to not clip and/or if there is a pad switch. But it is a laptop mic in, so not sure about the ability to change actual gain.
So, start with the output of the VOX at a very low volume and adjust accordingly - @OP: I'm assuming the VOX one of the versions of this correct?
Also as far as impedance matching and sound/tone, the input only really needs to be about 10 times larger than what is feeding it. Being what it is, the VOX output should be a fairly low impedance already less likely an issue.
