Re: powerpoint audio

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Thanks for the response, but I'm not sure you're really getting at the heart
of the problem. The audio works fine when you go to the website, click the
link, and open the ppt file...from most computers. There are some computers,
though, that must have some audio setting that is different. Either
something in powerpoint, windows media player, a missing codec, add-on,
something. But I can't figure it out. Why would it work from 9 computers
and then not work from the 10th. What is different?

Hi,

Not all inserted sound files in PowerPoint is embedded, sound files in
wav format larger than 100 KB (i.e. anything but a short sound effect)
and other sound file formats are linked to PowerPoint presentation,
they are saved on your local disk. The difference between linked and
embedded, please view:

If you want to let the sound files play normally on different
computers, please do as following:
1. Put the sound files and the PowerPoint presentation in a same
folder.
2. Reinsert these files to PowerPoint presentation. After you do this
work, send the folder to other computers. Then the sound files can be
shown.

Alternatively, you could embed the music by converting your
presentation to Flash. PPT2Flash (http://snipurl.com/ppt-swf),
PowerFlashPoint(http://www.digitalofficepro.com/powerpoint/Power-flash-
point-converter.html) and Sppechi.
