This is a very common problem. It actually happens nearly every time in a car when you hook the charger and the AUX cable up to the same device. I'm not sure why your post doesn't have the answer yet given that there are already 9 comments, but the easiest way to fix this is with an optoisolator. Here's one for the car. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0031U1ATQ/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_sr_1?pf_rd_p=486539851&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-1&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0015G2EZ2&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=19ZBRBAAJVPRFV1VREQ5
Just search for something similar with RCA jacks at the other end.
Here's another one that you could just put inline: http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PLGI35T-8-Inch-Stereo-Isolator/dp/B004HJ35F2/ref=dp_cp_ob_e_title_4
And, if you feel like wasting a bunch of money, here's a monster branded one (note the 3rd review, BTW): http://www.amazon.com/Monster-MPC-ISM-201-XLN/dp/B0009RWKKM/ref=pd_cp_e_3
That should be fine. It's possible to find it as a single cable too:

You may find you get a lot of hum or buzz, more than you do listening to the PC alone. This is probably caused by a difference in the ground between the PC and mixer. These sorts of devices can then be a very helpful addition:

I have a 2011 C250, does the C250 you are looking at have the aux jack in the glovebox?
I have a USB powered Bluetooth-to-aux streamer, got it from amazon for $20 or so, and it lives plugged in to a cigarette-to-USB adapter in the cigarette/12v plug also in the glovebox. I also have a line filter, because tehre was some whine when nothing was playing.
This is the bluetooth adapter: https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B0140QCYNU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

First, try plugging the power for your computer and Receiver in the same power outlet. If that doesn't work, then get a ground loop isolator. Here is an example:

You can get these with different types of connectors (RCA, 3.5mm, etc.).
These things might help: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B004HJ35F2/ref=mp_s_a_1_7?qid=1404586418&sr=8-7&pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
Xenyx 802 boards are not a USB audio interface. You would need to plug in your mic into ch1 or ch2, then if you just want to send you Mic input to your PC then you will need to take cable like this one (https://www.amazon.com/Hosa-CMP-153-Stereo-Breakout-Cable/dp/B000068O3C) and plug it into your Main Out then the 3/4 end would plug into your microphone input on your PC.
You may want to use a ground loop isolator as well to ensure a clear and clean transfer of sound from the mixer to the PC. This is a good one (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B004HJ35F2/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I1TOD2ZLXASPZE&colid=CB045PGEL00J). I hope this helps :)
There's also ground loop isolators, what do you think of them?

I got this awhile ago and it's works pretty well.
[these] (http://www.amazon.com/Pyle-PLGI35T-8-Inch-Stereo-Isolator/dp/B004HJ35F2/ref=sr_1_6?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1405986076&sr=1-6&keywords=ground+loop+isolator) are what I got. They're very cheaply made, but they worked for me. Bought two... one for the left channel and another for the right channel.
