It can be done, and in order to keep from getting the distortion you will need to download a equalizer or mixer program.
See if the laptop has a "line out" option. That will at least be at signal level. The media system should have the ability to handle either line level or mic level. Switch it to line. Even with the "speaker" output, the speakers in this case are small headphones and do not require large amounts of power. With the volume turned down to a low level, the line level input on themedia system should have no problems.
I can probably give you more details if you can provide the make and model of the media system involved here.

If the only input connector is the XLR connector, then the media system is set up for mic level only. Rather than just the adapter (which may work), I'd suggest that you include an attenuator. This will drop the signal level to an appropriate level for the mic level input. Check the media system for a Line input as well. That would be the better option.

You want to connect the external speaker?
It will work but may sound distorted. Adjusting the volume on the laptop will help.
XLR is a different question and different answer. I will have to research that some.
Here's a schematic: http://www.mediacollege.com/audio/connec...
By Google "Stereo 3.5 1/8 to XLR" I got many hits to sites selling cables and adapters to acomplish your request.

The microphone input is a normal XLR three prong connection. I assume it is a balanced line to the sound system. Is a transformer needed in the line? Is special grounding needed?
