Sound effects as part of an animation

[KABAM88]

I have added a sound file (chimes) as part of an animation and the sound does
not play. If I add a different sound file (bell) it works fine. If I use
the sound file (chimes) as a sound clip to the slide it works. Can the sound
file (chimes) be too long to play as part of an animation?

 

[Echo S]

Hm. The chime sound effect works fine here on a rectangle with a wipe
animation. What is the actual animation are you using?

 

[Echo S]

Oh, I guess I should also ask where you got the chime sound clip? I used the
one that came with PPT, but there's not a bell sound effect, so now I wonder
if we're not talking about the same thing.

Thanks for your help. I downloaded the .wav file from an internet site other
than microsoft powerpoint. The chimes last a little longer than the actual
ding, which is why I was wondering if it could be too long. When I test the
sound effect the object that I am linking it to actually dims like it is
trying to play but does not play.

After reading other material, I found that if I shorten the length of the
filename works just fine. Apparently, the filename was too long. Thanks so
much for your help.
