Since I appear to be first on the scene:
Hello. Please take the time to introduce yourself in the Newbies section. You will find that people are more responsive after this courtesy. Thank you.
Right, I've looked for a manual on this machine, and I can't find a good piccy or anything. The simple answer is 3.5mm jack ( from headphone out on laptop ) to two RCA or 1/4" jack, depending on what inputs are on the mixer. Also you'll very likely need something like this:

to cut the hum you're almost guaranteed to get.
However, that's not the best answer. We'll go into that later, I'm sure. Good luck.

This would be the more normal type of lead.

The mixer channel should be stereo line, and thus have two sockets. If it's an XLR and a jack, it's a mic channel, and not what we want.
If it's a tape input, we can cope with this, cos most use RCA.

No, one. That's the confusion. Like I said:

However, if it's working alright, it's working alright, and I'm glad to hear you're using an external soundcard.
