Audio problem PP 2002
At the beginning of my presentation I run audio through a series of slides.
Fine, works great. At the end of the presentation, I try to run the same series - audio cuts off after 1st slide. Unless I jump out to the menu, click on that slide, and view show from that point on - then the sound runs through the slides as needed. What's up? |

Is this just one audio file? What are the custom animation settings? How many
slides did you set it to play thru? If you have continuous sound you can get unexpected results when you break the flow of the presentation . Try setting it to play for 999 slides. Does that help? -- Sonia Coleman Microsoft PowerPoint MVP Team Autorun Software, Templates and Tutorials "Daylight" wrote in message ...

Thanks for quick response, Sonia. Anxious to get this solved, if it can be.
Not sure what you are asking about audio file. This is a 45 slide presentation. A CD with about 15 tracks accompanies. Many of the slides have multiple images, animation, and sound, within a given slide. However, at the beginning sound runs through a series of slides. Works fine. However, when I try to repeat same series at the end (or a new series, even only 2 slides), sound shuts off after first slide. Only if I break the presentation, and start it again from that slide will it run correctly. Experimenting a bit, I began to suspect a glitch in the program. I made new presentations and always found that the earliest series of slides with continuous sound run correctly. But any later ones do not. If I cut and paste in a different order, it will always be only the earliest one that runs right. Strange. Never heard of this? "Sonia" wrote: Is this just one audio file?

Oh, by the way, the 999 suggestion did not help.

I'm having trouble responding because without seeing the presentation I can't
see exactly what is happening. However, by jumping to another slide and interrupting the flow of the presentation, you are probably experiencing the fact that PowerPoint jumps to the end of the slide (after all animations on the slide) so the music that is playing is not interrupted while on that slide. Going to the next slide will cause entry at the beginning of the slide and the music is stopped. It is difficult to explain, but when you use sound across slides in PowerPoint, if you interrupt the sequential flow from slide to slide you also interrupt the music. "Daylight" wrote in message ...

I must not be expressing myself clearly. You've misunderstood me. The
music is interrupted when the presentation flows normally. I'm not talking about jumping ahead of animations on the slide. Look, put simply, I seem to be unable to have audio play continuously through a series of slides late in my presentation. For example, slides 2-10 of my presentation have continuous audio. Slides 11 - 35 are all self-contained (their own audio, or none). Now, slides 36 - 44 are supposed to have continous audio, but they don't work. The audio cuts after slide 36. If, however, I view presentation from that slide, instead of from presentation beginning, the audio works correctly. Early in the presentation, the function works. Later, it doesn't. Even if I cut slides 2-10 and paste them toward the end of the presentation, the audio will malfunction in the same way. Even though that same series works in an earlier position in the presentation.

Thanks. That helps. I clearly wasn't getting the picture.
I hope this helps. From the FAQ at http://www.rdpslides.com/pptfaq/FAQ00047.htm: NOTES: If you're having difficulty playing more than one CD audio track in a PPT 2002/XP presentation, it's because the settings need to be a little different than what you'd expect in the custom animation pane Effects tab. For example, your presentation has 100 slides. You want the first CD track to play from slides 1-30 and the second CD track to play from slides 31-100. Custom Animation Effects tab settings for the first CD track should be Start Playing at Beginning, Stop Playing After 100 Slides. (If you put stop playing after 30 slides as you'd expect to do, the second track won't play.) Custom Animation Effects tab settings for the second CD track should also be Start Playing at Beginning, Stop Playing After 100 Slides. You can also put the 999 instead of 100 in the "Stop Playing After XXX Slides." The point here is that you need to put at least the entire number of slides in the presentation in that "Stop Playing After" box, not the actual number of slides you want the sound to stop playing after.

Thanks. I think we're getting somewhere. Now, does this mean that anytime
I play an audio track in the presentation (even just within one slide) I need to put 999 in the 'stop playing'? Also, how do I get a track to stop playing after, say, 10 slides, if I've told it to run for 999? Also, there are a number of slides in the presentation where the audio stops playing "after current slide". Must I change all of those as well? A number of slides with audio are followed by slides with no audio. So it's not like a new audio will override the old. "Sonia" wrote: Thanks. That helps. I clearly wasn't getting the picture.

I can't test all of the variations here, so you'll need to experiment with the
settings. However, the link I gave you addresses the situation when you want a track to play across multiple slides. If you only want to play a track for one slide, there is a setting for stopping after current slide. "Daylight" wrote in message ... Thanks. I think we're getting somewhere.

Since you have slides with no audio following the slides with audio, I think
you can put in the actual number of slides to span across instead of the 999. -- Echo [MS PPT MVP] http://www.echosvoice.com "Daylight" wrote in message ... Thanks. I think we're getting somewhere.
