MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / June 2006sound files won't play in Powerpoint
I have checked previous posts and based on the answers, I started setting up my presentation with sound files and it was actually working fine but it is suddenly not working (perhaps due to size?). I have a 2003 PPT of 64MB (pictures), 2 .WAV files at 26 MB each, 7 windows media audio files up to 4 MB each. I have inserted all sound files to various slides, everything was playing fine (on my machine) until the last song, now nothing plays. I will need to create a cd of the show to use in a presentation (using a laptop). Should I only be using .WAV files? These were getting so large, I was afraid the whole folder wouldn't fit on a cd! Did you start with the files in the same folder as the presentation? Only Wav files or mp3 files with a riff wav header can be embedded in the presentation. To do this change the value in Tools>Options>General "link sounds with file size greater than" to 50000 NB this isnt retrospective you will have to insert again. To add a riff wav header to mp3 files download Cdex and use Convert > "add riff wav header to mp2 /3" http://sourceforge.net/projects/cdexos > I have checked previous posts and based on the answers, I started setting up > my presentation with sound files and it was actually working fine but it is [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > Should I only be using .WAV files?

Something must have happened to the link as I deleted the file, reinserted and it worked ok. On this post as well as others, the recommendation seems to be only use .wav music files (or wav like by using conversion programs) before inserting to ensure the music is embedded but is this absolutely necessary? If music files such as windows media format are in the same folder before inserting to PPT and the whole folder is burned on the CD, what are chances the show will run ok? > Did you start with the files in the same folder as the presentation? > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > Should I only be using .WAV files?
