MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / December 2007Embedded .wav sounds play incorrectly in Office 2007 Slideshow Mod
I recently upgraded from PP2003 and XP to PP2007 and Vista. I now find that presentations with embedded .wav sound files will play in the editing mode in powerpoint 2007, but that in slideshow mode they are truncated in a weird way. Specifically, the system seems to cut off the last 1 second of the sound file, and if it is shorter than 1 second it doesn't play at all. This problem occurs both for old 2003 presentations open in 2007 and for new presentations where the sounds are embedded directly in pp 2007. Curiously, if I save the file in PP2003 mode, and run it on an XP machine with PP2003, it runs fine. I am not sure it this is a vista issue or a Office 2007 issue, but it is definitely frustrating. Any chance that 'start playing after' is not set to zero in custom animation > effects  SignatureAmazing PPT Hints, Tips and Tutorials http://www.PPTAlchemy.co.uk http://www.technologytrish.co.uk email john AT technologytrish.co.uk > I recently upgraded from PP2003 and XP to PP2007 and Vista. > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > I am not sure it this is a vista issue or a Office 2007 issue, but it is > definitely frustrating. I checked the custom animations and didn't find anything strange.... If I understand the question, you are asking if it was set to "start playing automatically after" some number of seconds. Everything is set to play on mouse click. If I add delays, etc, they work as expected, but I still hear the only the last part of the sound file. Also, if I set it to loop, I hear only the end of the sound file over and over (i.e. it cuts out the same portion of the file in every animation) > Any chance that 'start playing after' is not set to zero in custom animation > > effects [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > I am not sure it this is a vista issue or a Office 2007 issue, but it is > > definitely frustrating. |
