just make sure the mixer has RCA or digital outputs (spdif). And make sure your sound card has those inputs (get an Audigy 2).

do you not have a main unit for the speakers with a phono input on the back, if so, just plug the master out from the mixer into that, and set the stereo to Aux/line in channel, and it should work. Thats what i'm doing for now
