Mac Forum / Applications / PowerPoint / September 2006PowerPoint Gone MUTE!
I'm Running PowerPoint 2004 on a Mac Book Pro. All of the sudden it stopped playing sounds. Any ideas??? Thanks! Carlos. It's me again... besides stopping playing sounds (wav, aif, and so on), Powerpoint is not playing sounds on mpg movies... it plays the movie (image is ok) but with no sound. However, it plays .mov movies perfectly (BOTH SOUND AND IMAGE). It was working perectly, until it "decided" not to! Any advice? Thanks Carlos. Can you play sounds in other applications? Did some of these same sounds play before the problem? --David  SignatureDavid M.

Odds are you used Windows Media Player (WMV, WMA) for sound. You need to download the latest Media Player for Mac to play the files. Unfortunately MS in its infinite wisdom has decided to discontinue Media Play for mac. The latest version may or may not work. Goggle for Flip4Mac. The company has created a plug in that will work with Quicktime to run MediaPlayer files except those that have Digital Rights management. They are working on that. > On 9/18/06 6:10 AM, in article > Xns98425D696A85marcoNOSPAMloyolaedu@207.46.248.16, "David M.

If the answer is yes to the first question, can you please give us some exact repro steps and indicate which exact model of MacBook Pro you have? Go to Apple Menu > About This Mac... > More Info and indicate the machine model (example: MacBookPro1,1). Also, it would help to know the exact version of PowerPoint you have (go to PowerPoint menu > About PowerPoint). Also, can you tell me what happens if you do this? 1. Start PowerPoint 2. Insert > Movies and Sounds > Sound From File... 3. Select a file from the Microsoft Office 2004/Office/Sounds folder [let me know which you chose from there] 4. Insert 5. Answer No at the prompt 6. Double click on the sound in the presentation 7. Start Slide Show 8. Repeat step 8 The above will help us in trying to narrow down the issue. If the file doesn't play, what if you use QuickTime Player to play it?
