I already tried that. I import the wav file into Audacity, reduce the
volume but it won't Save. It says something's wrong with the file
structure. Perhaps it's because the wav file was originally an MP3. I
used
"CDex Mp3 to Wave" which allows me to "fake" the system and produce a wav
file about the same size as the mp3. This is good to keep down the
overall
size of the PPT show but, apparently Audacity (and other programs) can't
handle this type wav.

I have a PPT presentation that I have imbedded with wav files for
automatic
presentation. One of my slides has 7 different lines pointing out
items.
Each line has a wave file that runs as it points to the subject. My
problem
is that on this slide the volume is considerably higher than all the
other
slides. Is there a way to keep things pretty much as they are and
decrease
the sounds on this one slide?

I made this presentation a long time ago with an older version of PPT.
I
now have PPT 2007 and it seems to work differently than my older
version.
I hate to redo this one slide because I recorded my audio voice as mp3
and
then used CDex Mp3 to Wave to change it to the same size .wav file so
it
could be imbedded. I'd hate to have to start all over again.

Try importing the WAV file into Audacity and lowering the gain levels
to match the other clips. Export a new WAV file and embed it back
into PowerPoint.

Audacity is great tool for editing audio files:

Good luck.

What if you try importing the original mp3 instead of the converted
wav?

That might do the trick. I found that exporting the reduced volume file to
a different folder allowed it to 'save' the change. Thanks.
