This to connect laptop to mixer live?

I'm in an experimental metal band with no singer, I play a microKORG synth hooked up to a logitech Z5500 speaker system. I would like to hook up my laptop on stage so I could play clips of talking and yelling during breakdowns and stuff...
I'm thinking one 1/8" plug into the headphone jack on the laptop to a 1/4" plug into the mixer...will this work?
Here is the cable I was looking at...

The cable alone will not provide sufficient volume, however, a headphone booster will.



You'll find them at Radio Shack also.

Good Luck,

Gary

Gary, I just bought a Koss behind the head headphones to use with my DisCover5 on stage..I pick up the stage monitor with the EV mic and it effects the sound[keyboard is taking on the characteristics of the vocalizer]...I thought the best way to solve this is the Koss headphones...but the phones are not loud enough...I would like to increase the overall volume up to 100 %..

I went with the behind the head headphones over the in the ear plugs, so I can hear my surroundings on stage..The Koss work well in this respect..

Do you think I can get this gain with the headphone booster..?

It has been my experience that you will get about a 40 to 50 percent boost in volume using this device.
