Hi,
I also use Mixx and thought I had to spent a fortune on a new sound card 
until I found a USB sound card such as these 
http://www.google.co.uk/#hl=en&cp=6&gs_id=4j&xhr=t&q=usb+sound+card&um=1&ie=UTF-8&tbo=u&tbm=shop&source=og&sa=N&tab=wf&ei=tw65T-3jEKbI0QXvi9DiBw&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.r_qf.,cf.osb&fp=557c6bcbc8cd691c&biw=1280&bih=601
for very little outlay the on-line user guide to Mixx talks you through 
configuration (very simple really). Mine cost £3.00 and works 
brilliantly (only limited by my talent)

Have fun

Pete
