Plugging a digital(computer) speaker system into a mixer

Surely there has to be a way to do this without buying an expensive new set of speakers/amplifier. The problem is, the mixer (VSC002) only has an A/V out. So what I'd need is an adaptor that converts a computer out into an A/V that can be jacked into the mixer. I've done 4 shops so far, no one in either of them seemed to have any remote idea what I was talking about, then I did some online searching and all I found was an adaptor that converted a digital signal into an A/V (presumably for listening to an mp3 player on a sound system rather than headphones). What I need is a socket to plug the speakers into, not something to plug into a socket. So far I don't even know if such a device exists.

What the hell is an A/V out?

Do you mean RCA?

Yeah sorry, after re-reading that I realize that I wrote it in a pretty confusing fashion.

Here's the simplified version:

I need a 1 1/8" digital stereo FEMALE to 2 RCA MALE adaptor

I'm using my Logitech Z2300 with my mixer right now...

All you need is a 1/8-F to RCA-M cable, but in my case I'm using a 1/8-F to 1/4-M and then a 1/4-F to RCA-M cable

What/Where is DDO?

So far I've tried The Source (radio shack), 2 futureshops, 1 bureau en gros (staples for you englies), 2 electronics shops, hi-fi, addison (they usually have everything) and all I've found were adaptors where the mini stereo was male. No females anywhere

Addison SHOULD have it...

DDO Electronique (like Addison) is in the West Island, on Brunswick, right next to Sources, across the street from the Guzzo...

Like I said, I'm using a 1/8 Female to 1/4 Male and then a 1/4 Female to RCA Male...
