If your soundcard has the blue connector as the one shown in Koz's picture...

... then yes, that's the correct cable.

No, if your soundcard is working already, the drivers you need are already installed. The cable is just that, a simple cable. There's no additional electronics involved.

If you have all those parts, you have one of the rare simple Windows machines.

i have one last question , i have to get it right.
i am about to purchase a 2M 3.5mm STEREO Jack to 2x 6.35mm 1/4" MONO Plugs Cable.
i will plug the two 6.35mm to the Right/Left out inputs [number 4 on the picture the -audino - uploaded].
and the single 3.5 jack goes to the soundcard.

after all that , i will enter the audacity and just start recording?

Yes. Your organ supplies two different sounds for each note. Left and Right -- two mono signals. In my case, my "cathedral" sound is very deep and I can hear the room wrapping around me because the left and right sound is slightly different -- just like I was in the church.

The cable combines them into one Stereo plug, the tiny 1/8" plug which is what the blue connection in the back of the computer is expecting. This is what the 1/8" plug is doing. Left, right, and protective shield to keep out hum and buzz. (top picture).

You're still going to have to tell Audacity to poke Windows and tell Windows to switch to your show. You can do that with the Audacity tools on top of the edit window -- the Device Toolbar.

It's illustration 8 on the bottom of these instructions.
