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

  • Captive 6 audio not playing in preview

    I am having an issue with audio playing on some of the slides in preview mode, other slides the audio works fine.  On the problem slides, I am able to  play the audio on the slide or timeline but in preview mode it will not play.

    Which Preview mode? If it's the "Play this slide" preview, perhaps you have managed to mute the audio?
    Look at the image below for reference.

  • 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

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

  • 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 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?

  • IMovie, some photos on timeline will not play in preview window

    There are a bunch of photos on the timeline that will not play in preview window.
    I've tried all the tricks that were suggested in other posts. (moving photo to the desktop and then reimporting, etc)
    several hours have been lost on this problem.

    I think it's a bug. It happens to me as well. You have to switch between windows, refreshing it. 

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • 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 file not playing when previewed or pulised on only one slide

    I have one slide that the audio will not play unless the you click on the play button in preview or when published.  All other slide audios are working fine and will play automtically when the next button is clicked on the previous slide.  I have tried changing the name of the audio file, deleting the sled and the fiel and staring over etc.  the audio file were created in another program and then brought into Captivate but thia has not been a problem with any other production up to this point.  Any suggestions?

    I will be out of the office starting  22/10/2009 and will not return until
    28/10/2009.
    If you require urgent assistance then please contact Emma Dawson on 15832
    alternatively I will respond to your query on my return.

  • Captivate 7 HTML5 background audio not playing

    The issue seems to be related to a slide with background audio that plays after a Random Question slide. I can see the playhead moving but the audio is muted. It seems to be a bug with Captivate 7.
    To duplicate the issue, create a new Captivate 7 project, insert 2 Blank slides, each with Background Audio. Create a question pool with 2 multiple choice questions and insert a Random Question slide between the 2 previously created Blank slides. When playing in HTML5 from the start (F11), the second background audio does play (is muted).
    I'm using Chrome in Windows 7.

    Sreekanth,
    I think I've found a workaround for this issue. I’m finding when audio is placed on each question slide in the pool, the audio on subsequent slides play. The audio on the question slides has to be different from audio used on non-question slides (but all the question slides can use the same audio). Also, the question slide audio can be a very short and silent piece of audio, so nothing is heard on the question slide itself.

  • 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.

  • Audio not playing in mov format K'08

    Ive seen a lot of threads but none had a solution to this.
    With the slides, I included an mp3 from within itunes
    dragged it from the media window into the documents soundtrack box
    clicked looped
    and played just fine throughout the manual presentation.
    clicked export to .mov
    checked include audio files
    when the mov plays it is silent.
    I tried one workaround, using the newly recorded audio file reimported into keynote 08 and exported again - still silent
    has anyone figured out how to get the audio to play in .mov?
    thanks

    Believe it or not, I've been having this same problem since I bought my Imac G5 a few years ago. It just happened to my MacBook Pro, as well. Along with the fact that mpg audio is gone, so is flash audio. It seems to happen every so often, usually after one of my computers hang while loading a preview for a flash movie. The problem actually seems to correct itself after a few restarts, or loading of some programs.
    In the process of writing this post, I regained support for mpg audio, and flash audio - and in quicktime player for that matter. When I started writing this, it didn't work. I dunno, quicktime is weird that way. The longest time I was without flash or mpg audio was for a period of 3 weeks. After which, it somehow was magically there again. I wish that wouldn't happen, as it usually happens at the most inconvenient times. The whole way flash is not supported through newer versions is rather irritating as well isn't it? Use SAFlash player for mac for those if you can: http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html

  • Why does my audio not play from an imported pptx slide +

    I created a slide with Images, animations and audio in PowerPoint (2010) and then imported into Captivate 7 as a single slide*.  When I publish the slide into an swf file and play, the follows issues occur:
    One of the images does not display as contained in the pptx file - it does however show in the swf file in the same dimensions in alight wood grain image (like pine).  This image is in one corner of the slide.  The image below is that corner...!
    The audio does not play when the swf is played. No audio content is shown in the library list
    Also, the program I wish to insert the slides into requires individual slides - not whole presentations (it is not SCORM compliant).  What is the quickest way of publishing a multi-slide presentation into individual .swf slides?

    reinstall the movie, something crazy may have happened during the download, reinstalling it should fix the problem
