What model is your mixer?

Dale is correct, here is an example of how your audio setup should be:

Channel One (or any caennel you choose) - Get a cable (from Radio Shack) that has a Mini stereo plug on one end and goes to Left and Right Male Phono plugs. Then get a 1/4" (plug) to Left And Right Female Phono plugs adapter. (Two things, a cable and an adapter.)

Plug the 1/4 mini into the sound card output (or the headphone jack) and plug the left and right male phono plugs into the female left and right pulgs on the adapter. Then plug the 1/4" adapter and plug it into channel one on your mixing board.

Channels Two and Three - Your microphones should be plugged into two seperate channels. I'd use channel two and three but you can put them where you like.

Then take the output from your mixing board and plug it into the input of your amp which should be hooked to your speakers. If your mixer is built in to your amp, you won't need this step. You'll be ready to go after you plug everything into the mixer section.

This should get you going.
