Radio Shack may have it.  Otherwise it is time to get out the soldering gun.  Have you considered Googling this??

Just because you can make a physical connection doesn't mean you are making the proper electrical connection.

If you have a sonosax, DEFINITELY use it in this situation!
Then run from sax > computer
You'll still be using your noisy computer input, but it should be usable.
I'm sure a 58 will sound great running through the sax.
