I doubt its to do with Customs if it was properly declared as an 'Audio Mixer' ??Just a suggestion...Brian.Conflow. Quote

Best of luck with the Shuttle PC and the Galaxy and should you want any help with these just send me a PM. As you know we Manufacture Sound Systems for Irish Railways so we can advise on the most 'bizarre' of Auditorium Installations ~ we have seen them all. (Photo below). I see your're from Sarnia Ontario, by any chance do you know Ken Cox he also lives in Sarnia ? he is one of the 'Founding Fathers' of this Forum and a great source of Pte 'knowhow' should you come unstuck.Best regards,Brian.Conflow.For this issue I use an external sound card that has a Firewire connectio to your laptop ( I bought it for the same reason)It is called Firebox from PreSonus. Audio IN-OUT line and mike. It works like a charme.Also you can go to DJ sound and light rental place that will rent portable amps that you might be able to plug in the earphone jack.Laszlo Quote
Conflow Posted April 11, 2009 Report Posted April 11, 2009 Laszlo,Sure that's one solution, but Kieron has a different problem alltogether,viz:-He has to get the Sound and Mic-Over from his Laptop to a distant Sound-Booth which controls the Auditorium Amplification and in doing this he has to use of the Laptop volume control which shows up on his Laptop Monitor and on the Projector Screen which is distractive and ruins his Show.Quoted..."I am presenting a show in a large Auditorium where the main sound controls are located in a Booth away from where I will be located. I will have time to set up prior and hopefully have the correct levels.My question is regarding the window that come up on my Laptop Screen or Projected Image when I adjust the sound level's on the Laptop. If I have to 'tweak' the sound levels part way through a Show using the Laptop sound control it is very distracting to have it super imposed on the Projected Show".Is there a way to hide this window??Hope this puts you in the picture,regards,Brian.Conflow.
