Music won't play

D

daviscbls

I have used PowerPoint many times. I edited some music using Sound Forge and
placed it in my presentation. The first one worked ok. The second one won't
play. I can play the clip using media player but can not hear it in the
Presentation. Please help.

Thanks for the information, but I added the sound exactly as it said and it
won't play.

Make a new presentation and insert the sound that doesn't play. Does the
'unplayable sound' play in the new presentation?
Also, create a new folder and move the sound files and ppt into the folder.
Re-insert and try again.

It's still not playing. Even tho I can play it in media player. If I attach
the whole song to the presentation (before I edit it in Sound Forge), it
plays, but I don't want to do that because then I can't fade it out as the
next song starts to play. I have done many presentations and never had this
problem before.

Choose Tools, Options and go to the General tab.
Set the value next to "Link sounds with file size greater than" to 50000 kb.
Re-insert the wav file so that it can be embedded.
