Default No sound for certain files

When I insert certain files that I have recorded from several CDs they insert
ok but when I click play there is no sound. In the preview I can see that
the track is playing but no sound. This problem originated after I installed
the XP service pack 2. It seems to be just files that I had before the
service pack. I tried to delete the files completely from my hard drive and
re-record them using Media player but it did not work. I purchased the
intervideo mp3 decoder for Media Player and recorded them in a different
format and it still did not work. Could it possiby be the location that the
files are being saved to? I have read FAQs until I am cross-eyed and have
spent way too many hours trying to figure this out! I ran the fix program
and just about everything else. Please help!

Do these sound files work outside of PowerPoint?

Yes the files work fine in Windows Media Player and I can record them to
other cds and they play fine in cd players.

Which version of PowerPoint are you using?

PowerPoint (all versions except 2003 to some extent) use the MCI Player. Do
read this page to understand it mo

I am using powerpoint 2002

As I read the files you suggested I learned a lot and have a bunch to work
with. It seems that when I did the xp service pack it corrupted something
with the MCI. The really odd part about it is that some cds that I copied
work and others do not. The ones recorded before the update don't work even
if I delete them and re-record them. The ones recorded after the update work
fine. I will read the articles again and get back with you on the progress.
Thanks for the help!
