Laptop/Microphone set-up (part A)

[Dmanlovesmusic!]

Hi guys. I have a few questions regarding laptop and microphone set-up for recording. I have 2 ways that I play with sound with my keyboards. One is to plug the Kross 2 into my e463 and use the Yamaha onboard speakers or I plug them both into a mixer with line going direct to Bose speakers. I want to introduce a laptop and microphone to this set-up for recording. I know how to plug the laptop into the Mixer but then I lose the plug-in slot on the laptop that would be used for the speaker input. I have to take the speaker line out of the mixer because I need that slot for the laptop plug (Main Mix). So now I don't know where to plug the speakers. Any ideas? I'm using this mixer...

Buy a USB Sound Card or Audio Interface to get proper audio ports on your laptop. Just another clunky box to plug into your setup.
