if your using a on board sound card or any other sound card with a mini eigth
inch female jack for the line input. you will net a set of cables going from the yamaha that terminate in such a jack.
it would help to know what connectors you have on the sound card.
mini jack? rca ? qtr inch ? anyway - whicjever - the shack will have jack convertors.

The Audiophile 2496 is a good quality card. Then you would just need two of these cables to connect it with your mixer. You might even want to pick up four of those cables, in that you may decide to run the output of the AP 2496 back through the mixer to monitor off of a separate group output.
