Re: how to add more sound files into slides

Bill,
All the wav sounds are located in the same folder. Tried moving the entire
folder over to the C drive but to no avail. Also, am still unable to hear
ANY sounds from the weekly PPS sent to me on the new laptop- old laptop
plays them perfectly. Help!!

Just a guess here, but it almost sounds (no pun intended) as though the
sounds you can't hear are "linked" sounds and the link is broken because
the folder structure isn't the same. Were all sound files in the same
folder as your PowerPoint file BEFORE you inserted them? If not, try
that. Read the below link for more info:

Hi Luc,

I've got a a somewhat different problem-- I replaced my laptop with a new
one. Both have XP Pro- both have the same PPT 2003 program installed
from the same disks. PPT worked perfectly on the old computer to create
slide shows and inserting wav sound files from the D partition. Also
worked perfectly in viewing and listening to sound on PPS shows sent to
me on a weekly basis. However, on the new computer, I can't hear the
sound from the weekly emails, and can only hear the default sound effects
(camera click, wind, etc) after insertion into my own PPS. Tried
experimenting with Windows media and Windows media classic to play back
the wav sounds on the D partition- they worked perfectly. Any ideas??

Thanks!
JDW

Jay,
Have you tried placing the sound in the appropriate slides in the slide
transition. That generally works. On condition that it is a wave sound
and not another type.
Also read this, particularly the section on multiple music files Add
more than one sound...

I have around 50 slides and 5 songs. I want to add one song for 10
slides
each. I put the first song on the first slide and end it on slide 10.
Then I
placed the 2nd song to slide 11 and ends it at slide 20. When I tried
to play
the presentation., the first song song ended but the second song did
not
start to play when slide 11 displayed. Any suggestions on what settings
to
configure?
thanks for the time to look at my request....
