Connecting Audio Cable
When customers are using a presentation that contains audio, or if they are planning
to play music through their laptop during their event, their device needs to be
connected to the hall’s sound system. This is done by plugging the audio jack part of
the VGA cable into the headphone socket of the laptop. In some instances the
headphone socket of the laptop is positioned on the opposite side of the machine
from the VGA port so it is sometimes necessary to extend the audio cable by
attaching it to the longer blue audio cable that is kept in the Technical Store. By
attaching this to the VGA cable’s jack plug, connection can be made wherever the
headphone socket is located.

Volume master levels are preset on the AV Control System and do not have to be
adjusted. However, the customer is able to adjust the output volume of their laptop if
they feel it is required
– this does not affect the preset output levels of the hall
system.
If the above steps have been followed and there is no sound heard the volume /
mute level of the laptop should be checked.
