A pps. file in Front Page...no audio!!!

[schottgun]

Thank you for taking the time to help trouble shoot this issue.

I recently used the Pack N Go feature of '03 Powerpoint to up load all of
the files onto Front Page for our company website. However, once the
Powerpoint was link to where we wanted to play it on the site, no audio was
present. The animation worked fine though.
The interesting thing is that I have made calls to some individuals to see
if it would play on there PC, and I received a mixed respose. It would play
complete, with audio and animation, on some, play with just animation, or not
play at all on others. I even heard that on one persons PC it wouldnt go
right into the pps., it would simple pull a regular presentation for them to
manually play it, yet it still didnt play?!? Keep in mind that they are wav.
audio files.
It seems to me like a compatability issue, but im no expert and that s why I
need the expert advice and opinions
Thanks a bunch!!!!

Hey Steve,

I really appreciate all the help!! Here is the URL:
http://www.thinkweboffice.com/powerpoints/Accounting/AccountingPowerpoint.pps

I will try saving it as a web page as you recommend. But before I do that,
what happens for you when you access that URL ?

Thanks again!

Steve...you're awesome! The audio is finally working on the link. Now Im
sure you're really busy and all but I have ONE last question for you.
I had a wav file playing as background music, but since I made the necessary
adjustments, it wont play now. Is there anyway to have the one wav file play
through the presentation with all the others??

Thanks again!!!!!

The link that you gave me was the key. it said to click on tools and scroll
to general options. Once there set your link sounds with file size greater
that 50000KB so that any file smaller will embed instead of link. so the
audio is finally working on the link now. Im just a little stumped on how to
get my background music ( which is a wav. file) to play through the
presentation. I cant seem to make 2 wav. files play at the same time.

Steve,

The interesting thing is: before I talked to you in the beginning and before
I started puting the Powerpoint in Front page, the audio was working fine (
this includes all the narrating audio and background music ) as LINKS. Now,
for some reason that they are officially embedded in the PPS. they will not
play simutaniously?!? What do you think about that?

Thanks again,

Mike Schott

Great question Steve. The Background wav. file was originally mp3. However I
wasnt able to upload it into Powerpoint for some reason. So what I did was
upload the mp3 into Windows Sound Recorder in XP Home Edition, then saved it
as a wav. file. Windows Sound Recorer also allowed me to edit the mp3 by
dimming down the sound, etc. etc. Is there any way to upload mp3? if so, will
it play behind the narrating audio?
