Why no sound track using PowerPoint 2004 for Mac?

When I use PowerPoint to play a slide show I downloaded from an email, the
accompanying sound (music) does not play. There is silence. The music plays
ok on a PC, but not on my Mac, even though the sound is on and every other
sound is ok. This is true of all slide shows which I KNOW have music
accompanyment. Is ther a problem with my settings, or is this a known lack in
my product, or what?

I don't know. What I received was a .pps attachment to an email, which I
downloaded and played as a slide show using PowerPoint. Silence. The video
was fine. When I forwarded the email to a PC, they downloaded it and played
it with PowerPoint as a slide show. The sound was there. Is it maybe my
Preferences, or what?

Maybe it is a WMA file, in which case I guess that's the end of it. But how
do I tell? Nothing seems to give any clues as to the type of sound file that
is included in the .pps show. Is there any way I can tell? Alternatively, I
can email the .pps file to an inbox if I have an email address. Mine is
(e-mail address removed)

I received (and therefore forwarded) ONLY one file, the .pps file. There was
no separate sound file (or any other accompanying file). The music was
apparently somehow incorporated into the .pps file.
