Where you lost me is "connect the mixer output to your computer audio in".


BassThumper, What I'm suggesting is you should be able to send the audio output from the six channel mixer to the onboard audio (Realtek) connector on your computer motherboard. Others have suggested using YouTube as the audio source and the Realtek to send the audio to your headphones or speakers. I'm suggesting the same just using your mixer instead of audio already on the computer.

As a minimum the back side of your computer should have connections for audio in and audio out. Depending on your Dell computer motherboard they should be 3.5 mm color coded connectors similar to a connector you would plug a set of wired headphones to.

What is the model number of your Dell computer? I can download the manual and mark up a photo of the rear panel of your computer.
