Completed a slide show - won't play the audio

I have completed a slide show and added 3 songs.  The songs are showing up on the audio bar at the bottom, but when I do full-screen preview there is no audio.  My speakers are working fine, i'm able to play songs from other programs.  I am working in PS Elements 9 on Windows 7. 
And another question, if i want to burn the slide show onto a DVD - what type should I buy?
Thank you.

1 - I suggest that you post information about the format of the music files that you are using in this slide show. Also include whether these files have any album art (which has been known to create problems within the slideshow process). 
And I wonder - did you import these music files to the Elements Organizer and if yes, can you play each of these music files from within the Organizer ?? If not, try importing one music file which will not play in the slideshow preview to the Organizer then attempt to play it within the Organizer. (why - sometimes playing a music file from within the Organizer is a good indication of whether the slide show editor can use this music file)
2 - You are asking about burning a slideshow to a DVD - I suspect that you want to burn your slideshow to a DVD that will play in your TV DVD player and Photoshop Elements does not supp[ort the function of creating this type of TV playable DVD.  Adobe Premiere Elements is a separate video software product which does support creating TV DVD player DVDs. However, I suggest that you read my next point before purchasing Adobe Premiere Elements - because there is a simpler process you can try now.
3 - your Windows 7 software license provides a program of Windows DVD Maker which can be used to create a TV playable video DVD format. 
Using Windows DVD Maker with the PSE slide show editor is a 2 step process -
- First, create a WMV file output (standard definition 640 x 480) from the PSE slideshow editor:
- Second, use that .wmv file (which you saved on your computer hard drive) as input to the MS Windows DVD Maker software.  
4- Both for troubleshooting and for future potential use with Windows DVD Maker, I suggest that within the PSE Slideshow Editor you do the Output command to create a .wmv file (640 x 480 standard definition), give it a name and save it on your hard drive. Then attempt to play that .wmv file using Windows Media Player.  Do you hear the music with playback from Windows Media Player ?

  • 2nd slide show won't play

    After creating a dvd with two slide shows using iDVD, the second slide show will not play past the first image. The first show plays with no problem.
    When the second show is activated the first image comes up but I can't advance to any of the others.
    It isn't frozen as I can return to the main menu and can still activate the first show.
    I've tested on 3 different DVD players with the same result
    The theme is the basic green linen with the theme graphic and drop zone replaced by a plain black background and two slideshow buttons.
    Both slide shows are set to manual advance, fade through black and no audio or video. The images were imported directly from iPhoto. The first has 82 images the second 42 (combination of jpeg and tiff files).
    I've replaced all of the images with different files from other shoots but still get the same result. I've also recreated the project from scratch twice to no avail.
    Any suggestions? Anyone else run into this?
    Thanks!

    I have experienced totally similar circumstances. My husband thought that I had posted your email. I have gone beyond pulling my hair out.....
    I traveled 1500 miles this summer to scan 1000 old family black and white photos and slides. I am composing an idvd production using 500 slides that I have brought in from iphoto. Before placing in iphoto, I took all of them through Photoshop and placed a title on each photo. My idvd is composed of 6 slideshows, each ranging between 50 - 98 photos. After burning, they all play back on my ibook, although they have been burned on my standing machine. Playing them on a tv DVD, one particular slide show will not advance. It stays on the first photo. It will not advance, ever. I am using the Memories theme from 5.0, manual advance, and page flip. (I have tried several other transition options) I have burned a minimum of 20 DVDs with the same outcome. I have tried eliminating photos, using folders, I have made every adjustment that I can think of. I narrowed it down to 2 photos that caused slide shows to not open, and then after I eliminated them from the DVD, that very same slide show still will not advance. I have made sure all existing programs were turned off, and that I have file share off....
    My super drive uses a Pioneer DVD-RW DVR-104
    Up until this year, all DVD slide shows ran without a hitch. Whether I use Apple DVD's or Memorex, I get the same problems. I have spent alot of money on this DVD and seems that I should have a result. I'm afraid to upgrade to TIGER. My family is waiting for their copies.
    Any suggestions for me???????
    This is my first posting and am not familiar with how it goes, but am hoping that we can solve our problems!

  • Quicktime 10 won't play the audio on my .3G2 files??

    How can I alter the set up for Quicktime 10 so that it will play the audio for all of my .3G2 files?

    Is there no way to update a codec or something on QT X? Kinda silly to have 2 different versions of the same program to play different video...
    All of the standard audio components should already be installed. The question is whether or not they can be accessed under the 32-bit QT operating structure and which specific audio codec is having a problem.

  • Starting in the middle of an animation won't play the audio

    I was creating a frame-by-frame animation in Flash Pro CC that went with an audio file I added to the project, however when I start from the middle, or anywhere besides the start, the audio won't play, but the animation will. I chatted with a customer support guy and he directed me here. Is there any way to fix this?
    I'm running Windows 8 64-bit.

    if that's an html5 project, no.
    otherwise, assign your sound's sync property (in the properties panel) to stream, not event.

  • On a MBP won't play the audio for a Vimeo video. It will play audio for other video sites (YouTube, etc.).

    I have Adobe Flash enabled. Everything is up to date. Am I missing a plug in?

    I get an HTML5 media player to play the file by default.<br />
    If I disable this nedia player then I get a Flash player.
    On Mac there is currently no support to play MP4 files via the built-in HTML5 media player, so this might interfere and prevent the Flash player from being used.

  • Quicktime X won't play the audio on my .3G2 files

    I was wondering if there are some codecs available on the mac to allow the audio to play on .3g2 files on Quicktime X.
    Thanks.

    I just had a problem playing the .3g2 video files i uploaded from a cell phone. The video would play, but without sound. I found a solution, but could not post it on the previous topic I found because the topic had been archived. I simply changed the file extension (at the end of the file name) from ".3g2" to ".avi" and the videos played correctly in quicktime with sound.

  • MOVs play fine, but Premiere won't play the audio

    I have a bunch of MOV files (from a cheap digital camera) that will play fine on say VLC, and they import into Premiere CS5, but when I play them in Premiere, or put them into a Sequence, the video plays but the sound turns to a high pitched beep after 1 second. Every file does this, and all other files (including MOVs from different cameras) are working fine in the same sequence. Any ideas?

    I had a similar problem, I'll tell you how I solved it.  Understand that I am a newbie at video editing and Premiere Pro.  I shot videos on a DSLR (.mov) and then transferred them to my computer.  I then imported them into Premiere CS6.  The videos played fine, and the sound bars indicated that audio was playing, but there was no sound.  The clips I imported played fine in Windows Media Player.  I did everything suggested on the forums, but to no avail.  Then I thought of something no one else had suggested, and it worked!
    I ordered my Rain Stratus computer already set up with Premiere CS6 installed.  When I opened a new project, it by default chose Black Magic Design presets, since that is the video card I have.  Being a newbie, I just went with that.  But since the video I was importing was not captured by my Black Magic video card, it was the wrong choice.  It took awhile to figure out, but I finally realized I needed to choose Digital SLR as the sequence preset when I created a new project.  Then the audio worked!
    One more thing I had to do, though, before it worked: in PremierePro, go to Edit/Preferences/Audio Hardware.  I had to change the hardware from Black Magic Audio to Premiere Pro WDM Sound, click ASIO settings, choose my speakers, and then check the box marked "device 32-bit playback" (even thought I have a 64-bit computer.)
    I hope that helps someone else from going through the same frustration.

  • IDVD won't play the audio right for the movie

    Hi.
    I'm having a problem with iDVD 6. I made a movie I want to burn on DVD. The sound is fine on iMovie, but when I previewed it on iDVD 6 it was messed up. Does anyone know what to do?
    iMac G4   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    I'm having the same problem and "glad" to see this is not an isolated problem. An iPhoto slideshow sent to iDVD with the same music works fine but not if I turn the iPhoto slideshow into an iMovie (I wanted a variety of transitions, titles, etc. that iMovie permits) and then transfer it to iDVD. The sound appears to be playing at a slow speed.
    However, I discovered that if I first transfer the iMovie file to Garageband in iLife6 and then transfer it to iDVD from Garageband that the sound track is working again. It takes a lot of time to do these transfers so if anyone has discovered why some of us have a problem in transferring from iMovie5 or iMovie6 to iDVD5 or iDVD6 I would appreciate an answer. I had hoped iLife6 would solve my problem but it hasn't.

  • Recently updated iTunes to 11.1.1.11 and now my Disney movies won't play - the audio keeps dropping out. Any help?

    Never mind ... cleaned the cache, cleaned the disk, cleaned the Java cache - it works.

    I've tried going through those steps prior to posting. This link that others and you have provided takes me to these instructions. There are no specific steps to uninstall and reinstall itunes. I did so anyway a couple times to see if anything changed. It did not. If I'm missing something, please let me know--it's really appreciated. I'm not using windows and it is my understanding that when you delete itunes (which I did through terminal) it deletes everything, so you don't have to go searching for random files as you would with Windows.
    Note: This article is for Mac OS X users. If you're using a Windows PC, please refer to these troubleshooting suggestions.
    Follow these steps to resolve your issue:
    Ensure that your Mac meets the minimum system requirements for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
    Install software updates on your Mac.
    Note: If an iTunes update is available, apply the update.http://apple.com/itunes/download
    Check USB connections. iOS devices require USB 2.0 to function properly. If you're not sure your Mac has USB 2.0 ports, refer to the computer's specifications.
    Disconnect other USB devices and connect your device directly to a USB port on your Mac.
    Restart your Mac.
    Looks like I'll be making that phone call...

  • Can i play the audio for rented movies through the airport express

    I'm watching a rented iTunes movie on my Mac and would like the audio to play through my Airport express to my stereo speakers. Can't figure it out.

    iTunes won't play the audio through your airport express due to the video and audio being out of sync.

  • PSE 9 Organizer Slide show can't find the slide show project files after moving from XP to Windows 7

    A bad computer virus forced us to move all our files and programs from XP to Windows 7.  The PSE Editor seems to be working properly, but the Organizer Slide Show can't find the project files.  The structure of each of the 15 slide shows (blank slides) is there and any text I had added, but the pictures and music are missing.  Our computer Tech is not too familiar with PSE and may not have the files in the right spot.  Evidently XP and Windows 7 are organized a little differently and use different names.  He still has all the PSE files from our old hard drive in a folder and probably just needs to know where to put them.         

    +Windows Vista has different file locations than Windows XP+
    This is the problem - the iTunes ITL file from XP is using XP paths, which don't exist in Vista. Here are some directions that have worked for others:
    - Copy your entire iTunes folder --- not just the iTunes Music folder but basically everything under "My Documents" - to external storage
    - Copy those files to your "Music" folder on your Vista system. The end result should be that you have "Documents\Music\iTunes" on Vista, where you had "My Documents\My Music\iTunes" on XP
    - Put a fresh install of iTunes on the Vista system.
    - When you run iTunes for the first time, hold down the Shift key. If it asks you to select a library file, pick the one you just transferred over.
    - The end result should be your library, including all ratings, play counts and play lists, sitting on the new system.

  • When I ask Siri to play a song it goes to the song but won't play the song

    when I ask Siri to play a song it goes to the song but won't play the song.  The song shows when I open the music app, but the bar does not move and there is no sound.  Even if I hit pause then play nothing happens.  If I go back to the playlists and select another playlist or song then music plays.

    After doing and changing EVERYTHING on that page, I ended up re-installing Quicktime by itself and finally that solved the problem. Thank you for the advice page though, it had a lot of good information on it that related to my problem.

  • Slide show does not Play Images Worked on in CS2- 2nd post

    I routinely work on Aperture images with CS2...using the external editor command. When I try to play a slideshow with these "worked on" images the Aperture slide show just reverts to the original Aperture Master. Thus I am unable to show the CS2 versions...Is this just a bug?
