Captivate 4 TTS Audio not playing in published or preview ok in edit

While viewing my project in published view, audio did not play on 5 of my 70 slides. (It worked fine previously). It played Ok in edit but no sound in preview or published. I tried to replace the audio using the Convert TTS button, and the audio would not replace the previous audio. Even removing the audio and dragging the new audio to the timeline would not work. I reinstalled Captivate 4 and TTS, and it seems to work fine on new a new projects but I can not seem to get it to fix my current project. Can anyone advise if I can fix those slides, or have I somehow corrupted those slides? It's a big project. Thanks in advanced

If I ever see dodgy behaviour like this on a slide, and it doesn't resolve easily with a reboot or republish, I just recreate the slides and delete the old ones. It's often far quicker to do this than muck around trying to fix them. If there is corruption in a slide, you don't want it anywhere in your project.

Captivate 3 Text/Audio NOT playing when previewed

I am able to see text boxes and hear the audio by playing the slide in edit mode but when I go to preview - no matter how - they do not present themselves. The timing of the slide is still the same length as if they did play (i.e. 60 seconds of text/audio in edit mode...60 seconds of silence and blankness in preview mode).
Thank you for your wisdom
JC

How did you preview? Have you tried to publish and do you the same issue then?

Video slides in Captivate 7 that will not play once published

Hello,
I recently created an eLearning within Captivate 7 that contains several video slides. When published, the video slides no longer work and instead have a spinning wheel that will not go away. Does anyone have any suggestions? I really don't want to redo the video slides.
Thanks,
Wendyl

Hi there
Once you publish your files, they *SHOULD* be on your local hard drive. And it's odd, but things behave differently when you play them from your local hard drive than they will once you copy them to the Web Server that all your end users will be accessing the content from.
What was suggested was to copy the files to that Web Server and test from there to see if the issue persists.
Cheers... Rick

Audio Not Playing in Published Version

I have a 41 slide project with audio on each slide. When I
preview in browser(f12) all audio plays fine. When I publish to SWF
the audio drops at slide 28 and continues to the end. I have
checked all settings in the Publish preferences and the individual
slides.

Hi T&DMan,
Is he producing one me her joining of the sound with the
slides in the publication of a swf would be that?

Background Audio not playing in Captivate 4

I imported a background audio track to my Adobe Captivate project, and I can see it in the background audio menu, however, when I preview or publish the project, it does not play. When I am in the import menu, it plays, but only there. I have done this many times before without issue. Any ideas?

Hi there
I am not sure if I understood the problem correctly. I tried to add a background audio to a test project and it worked fine for me in preview and publish.
When you say "I can see it in the background audio menu" are you meaning the following?
Audio->Background Audio... ==> Audio Background Dialog opens up and the audio track is shown properly. In library, the use count of this audio is non-zero and when you right click on the audio and select usage, "Project" is listed as one of the users.
When you say "When I am in the import menu, it plays, but only there", which import menu are you taking about?
Can't the audio be played from the library preview or from audio properties dialog or from Audio Background dialog?
Do you have this problem with any project that you are creating or is the problem happening in one particular project only? If it is only a particular project, can you share the CP project?
Cheers

Audio not playing in Preview

I have a slide that audio was recorded within Captivate. When I play the slide the audio does play, but when I preview/publish, the audio is not there. I have three caption boxes that fade in during the slide presentation. Not sure if this could be affecting it. Any ideas out there?

Check under Preferences > Project > Publish Settings to see if the box for Include Audio is checked.

Audio not synching during publish

Hello everyone. I'm working in Captivate 4, (purchased, not
trial). I'm relatively new user, but have been working intensely
for about a month developing my tutorial.
My project previews correctly, (entire file is 117 slides, 9
minutes long.)
However, after publishing to an AVI file, the audio does not
match up with the video - the audio playback is slightly slower,
and after 2 minutes, has lapped the slide.
I tried different publish settings, but have not found
anything to work, although changing some settings have improved the
output somewhat.
Does anyone have any suggestions for me?
This file will be published on YouTube. This is a
demonstration video only.
My audio was developed using text to speech, (so no music
quality sound is required) and each slide has one audio file per
slide, (nothing embedded.)
Settings I chose were:
Video Format: MJPEG Compressor (tried Indeo, but syncing was
worse)
Audio: PCM (only choice)
Encoding: FM Radio (64) and 11.025 KHz Frequency
Encoding Speed 5
I restarted, and do not have any other program actively
running (except Kasperski)
We recently reformatted the hard drive on this machine, took
every program off, defragmented, so the system is very lean and
clean.
Added more memory, so now we have 3 GIG of memory.
Running XP, the only installed programs are MS Office,
Kasperski, and Captivate.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

Audio not played for Motion Background

I have created a movie in my NLE as a motion background for a menu in Encore 2.0. When I preview the dvd project after rendering the audio plays fine but when I burn to dvd the audio is missing but the motion video still plays.
Why is this audio not playing on the burned dvd

In what form is the motion background when you bring it into Encore? Is it an avi? Is it compressed?
Is the audio stream a separate file?
If separate, is the audio stream a different length to the video file? Is the audio stream just a .wav file or what?

SWF Audio not playing in Captivate

Hi everyone,
I have created a button panel in Flash. The panel is a
recreation of an A/V control system panel used in classrooms on
campus. I am using a Captivate presentation to teach university
professors how to use the panel, so they can use technology to aide
teaching in classrooms.
As soon as the swf loads (in flash player) a sound begins to
play. You can then press the volume and mute buttons to increase,
decrease, or mute the sound. The button panel works properly in
flash player, however, when I import the swf into Captivate and
preview or publish the slide, the sound does not play. The buttons
depress, the lights change, but no sound is heard.
1) What, if anything, am I doing wrong?
2) What can I do to fix it?
I've only been working with Captivate for a few months now,
so this is my first real challenge. Any help you could offer would
be great. Let me know if you need anymore information. I have
exported the swf using flash 9,8,7, and 6 and that has not solved
the problem.

Okay, so here's the deal,
I used a flash 6 version of the panel and exported project
into a flash 7 version. when I play it, the sound still does not
work, but here is where it gets funny:
When I exported the project to include the html I also got a
version of the project without the captivate skin. When I open
that, the sound from the 16th slide (button panel) begins to play
on the first slide and continues to play. when I get to the 16th
slide and press the volume and mute buttons, they control the sound
perfectly.
So,
1. How/why is the captivate skin killing my audio?
2. What can I do about it?
3. How do I get the audio to start playing when I enter the
16th slide only?

Audio from Captivate 6 project will not play on iPad

Developing simple iPad test in Captivate 6 but audio will not play on iPad, works fine in browser. Error message from Safari log /ar/St Ad0.mp3 error code = 4 n/w state = 3; another error reads ..assets/js/CPLibrary.js line 15861ar/St Ad0.mp3 gotStuck@0*. Our "test pad" is first generation, uncertain of iOS version. The slides with basic interaction works fine, graphics look good but no audio.

Hi,
Thanks for the post.
Could you please share the following information:
1. Which server are you using to publish the content on Ipad?
2. Which IOS Version?
Please share the sample project or the published output with the mp3 file, so that we can investigate further. (Upload the files acrobat.com and send the link to [email protected])
Thanks,

Captivate 6 Audio not playing in preview

I have been inserting audio recordings into my Captivate 6 project slides with no problem. I inserted them, clicked play, and they worked. This morning, however, I found none of my audio would play when I click Play at the bottom of my Timeline. It will play from the slide audio window when I double click the audio. It will play when I click the Preview button under the Insert Menu. So why will it not play from the play bar under the timeline? Any Ideas?
Thanks,
Darin

Hi there
When this happens to you next time, perhaps it would be helpful to double check a place you may have clicked and not realized it. Sure, clobbering the preferences nailed it, but that's a bit like using a bazooka to kill the fly in the room.
Too late now, but my guess is that this is what happened.
If you look at the Timeline area you should see a small speaker icon as shown below:
It's easy to click this and there isn't much of an indication you have muted the slide. My guess is that you managed to click this earlier. Too bad you had to clobber preferences to get it back.
Cheers... Rick

Audio not playing in video after publishing in Presenter 8

I am having a problem in Presenter 8. I add the video to the power point and it plays in power point fine, but once I publish it in Presenter, the audio does not play. Any suggestions. I made sure that the settings were all correct within the Presenter.
In addition, I am having a problem getting any MP4 videos to play within Presenter. Any suggestions for that?

Which player is set as the default for FLV file types?
I have seen similar issues with VLC Player (normally a great software player), but when played in Adobe Flash, or MediaPlayer Classic HC, they played just fine. That is why I was asking about the player program used.
Also, when you run one of the FLV's through MediaInfo, what are the details of the Audio Stream?
Good luck,
Hunt

Audio not playing - i have already checked publish settings

I am using Captivate 5. My project was working fine, but I had to go in and re-record a few slides. I saved my audio file and then went to preview my project. No audio will play. My highlights, click boxes, buttons, etc still come up at the right time, but there is no audio.
The audio plays when i am not previewing it, and just click to play the audio. It also plays when i go in to edit audio. The only time it doesn't seem to work is when i am previewing the project.
There must be a setting I accidently changed somewhere when updating my recording?

I closed out of the project completely and reopened it. Now the audio is working again.... weird, but I guess problem solved.

Captivate 4 audio not playing in edit mode

In Captivate 4, if i try to playback a slide in the edit mode
(so i can time things that i want to add, like comment boxes etc.),
there is no sound. If i do a playback in the web format, it does
play the sound though, so i know that the sound did record. The
sound waves show in the edit mode, but there isn't any sound
playing back.

Hi John,
Welcome to our community. As matter of interest if you select
the audio file in the Library panel and then press the Play button
in the preview pane, do you hear the sound then? If it does, then
with the audio file still selected, click the Export button in the
Library panel toolbar and save the file to say your Desktop. Next,
delete the audio from the Library panel and then press F6 to import
the audio again. If the sound still won't play then please report
this issue to the Adobe Captivate team using the web address I have
included below.
