A couple of things to check:
Make sure there isn't a second copy of the music on another slide.
Try HTML round tripping to repair corruption:

How can I tell if there is a second copy? On the slide sorter view, there is
some sort of star below the first slide - is that significant?

That indicates a slide transition is applied to the slide.

Also meant to say - I've tried to do this round tripping, using the link
you've given, but it says near the beginning that a box will pop up right
after you click save as web page, but it never does for me, it just goes
ahead and saves without allowing me to specify anything.

Do a File, Save As, and select Web Page (*.htm, *.html) as the Save as type:
It will create a folder with all your images and sound files. See:
http://pptfaq.com/FAQ00241.htm for an explanation about the files and folders.
Check the support file folders for the sound files. If you have more than
one, that's the culprit. I would delete all the sound files, save the
presentation back to a new PPT file and add the single desired sound file to
that presentation.
