Edit slide audio stops on play

All of a sudden, Captivate does not want to play audio for me in the Edit Slide Audio tool. Every time I click play the red bar jumps forward about half a second and stops. Anyone seen this before? It was working fine this morning, but now this is happening in every project I open.
I have tried:
- Deleting the preferences folder
- Running as administrator
- Different projects/kinds of projects
Version 6.0.1.240 on Windows.

Is this after you published to a server? If so, can you try
saving to your local computer to see if it does the same thing.
Also, if you published to a server, you might try closing all
your Internet-based apps (other IE/Netscape windows, Outlook,
Weather Bug) and see if it's the Internet connection to the server.
Let us know how it goes...

Audio stops after playing video

...couldn't get an answer from earlier posts so here goes:
in iDVD 6.0.2 after burning & playing the video chapter part,
audio stops. it doesn't happens immediately but after 5-6 min. of playing.
i chcked for a missing audio codec of some kind:
the video chapter is AVI format, but the audio is not compressed. also the file plays normally in QT so
my only guess was a probably malfunctional during encoding\decoding audio in idvd itself...
does the solution for it depends on the proper audio
codecs idvd is using to convert my movie or is it something else i missed?

HTML5 published content from Captivate 7 including slide audio does not play audio in DPS preview

I have added HTML 5 content to a DPS publication I am creating in Indesign CC. When I preview the content on my desktop I cannot hear the audio play when initiated. The content appears, but without audio. is this normal? I cannot publish to a device right now, and am just trying to figure out if I am doing something wrong.

I concur, but do not have the device with me today, and was wondering if this is a common discrepancy. Has anyone tested Captivate output with slide audio into DPS? Does it work?

Why can't I edit slide audio in my Captivate 5 presentation?

I have reinstalled Captivate but it still hangs when I try to edit the audio in a presentation I am building.
How can I fix this?

This is usually due to issues with dual monitor setups.
Try this experiment: When Captivate hangs, hit the ESCAPE key on your keyboard. If that restores functionality to Captivate, then you can be fairly certain that what you interpret as Captivate "hanging" is in fact just that the Slide Audio dialog is open somewhere off to the side of your visible screen area and you cannot get to it.

Slide Audio and Failure caption aduio plays at same time

I have tried to read the many postings before I submitted
this question. I am sorry if I am still not getting it.
I have created a simulation and I am having trouble pausing
the audio when the user clicks too soon (before the slide audio
stops). When I am testing I will click the wrong area at the time
the audio asks the user to click. (Basically I am clicking too soon
on purpose just as some users might do.) When I click too soon in
the wrong area the 'Failure' caption appears with audio. That is
exactly what I want to happen. But the audio for the slide
continues so I have two audios now playing at the same time. I am
sure it is due to my option settings but which one?
I have a slide with audio that plays for the entire length of
the slide (7.7 secs).
I have one click box on the slide set to 'Continue' on
success. Displays for 4 seconds. Appears on the timeline at 3.7
seconds and lasts for the duration of the slide. The click box has
the following options selected: 'Failure' , 'Stop slide audio when
clicked' , 'Pause project until user clicks' , 'Pause for
success/failure captions'.
The 'Failure' caption options are set to display for 5.6
seconds (the client wanted audio instructions to guide the user
when the user had the wrong response). The Transition is set to
'Fade in and out'. Both 'In' and 'Out' are set to .5 seconds.
How do I get the Slide Audio to stop? It does not have to
resume just stop.
Thank you,
C

Hi there C
Firstly, apologies for the slow response, but, speaking for
myself, I tend to not answer questions where I am not comfortable
in giving the right answer. However, your plea for assitance has
dragged me out of my shell, so here goes:
My understanding is that on a click object, if you have
selected "stop slide audio on click", then that object will stop
the slide audio ONLY if the user clicks ON it. In other words, a
click anywhere else will bring up the failure caption if this is
set, BUT the slide audio will continue.
Now, to sail into totally uncharted territory, there are 2
things you could try/test:
Insert a click box over the whole slide that "continues on
success" but has your failure audio linked to it and enable the on
success caption, but edit it to show as a failure caption. In other
words, the user has clicked on this object incorrectly, therefore
they need to see and hear the failure of having not having chosen
the correct option. I would suggest that this click box displays
for the rest of the slide, but sits below your original box on the
timeline.
The second option is to set your original click box to
navigate to a duplicate slide on failure that does not contain the
slide audio, but is then set up as your "failure" slide with a
slide navigation back to the original slide after the audio has
completed. If you choose this option, then it might be a good idea
to have your failure text and audio include something like "let us
try again" as the original slide will start playing from scrarch
again.
Please let me know via this post if this helped or not!!

A slide show with audio created in PSE 9 plays fine in edit. When brought to Premier Elements for dvd burn, the audio no longer plays. It appears in the edit, but no audio is played. This happens consistently. What setting might be wrong?

That Photoshop Elements 9.0.3 Update has generally been discouraged by the Photoshop Elements gurus. But, I am not going to factor that into this at this point.
This is what I would ask you to look at in the Elements Organizer 9 accessed from the Photoshop Elements 9 or Premiere Elements 9.
a. Create your slideshow in the Elements Organizer 9/Create/Slideshow/Slideshow Editor. Then use the Output option of Edit with Premiere Elements.
From your description, you are probably using the Output Option of Burn to Disc DVD which will take your slideshow directly in the Disc Menu section of Premiere Elements 9. The preferred transfer of the Elements Organizer 9 slideshow to Premiere Elements 9 Editor is by the non wmv route "Edit with Premiere Elements" not the wmv route of Burn to Disc DVD.
Let us explore if any of the above is involved in your issue and then we will decide what next if necessary.
Thanks.

Audio stops after several seconds of playing in CS6 on PC (R3D files)

Hi,
I have recently come across a significant problem while editing R3D files in Premiere Pro CS6. When I play back my sequence the video will play fine but the audio will only play for a couple of seconds before cutting out. The audio meters continue to show that audio is coming through though no sound can be heard at all. When I stop and start the sequence again the audio begins to play again for a couple of seconds before cutting out. There is no problem with video whatsoever.
- Has anyone else experienced similar problems or have any suggestions to what might be going on and a possible fix?
My system specs are below. System speed should not be an issue at all as the sequence plays fine on my much slower and older imac (albeit at a reduced resolution).
I am on an intel 3rd Generation i7 PC (quad core) running Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit)
8GB of RAM
2GB Nvidia 650M graphics card
256GB SSD drive for startup and applications.
Any help would be very much appreciated, unfortunately until this problem is solved editing on this system just wont be possible.
Thanks,
David

I seem to have it working properly now. My issue seems to be centered around USB3 connections only operating at USB2 speeds. When the USB3 connection is working correctly all audio works perfectly. The store where I purchased my laptop from did a bit of a lazy software and driver install when I purchased the system. They are fixing the issue today and should have the laptop back and fully functional by tomorrow. Will test it again then. From what I have seen though, system runs very well when USB3 connections function as should.
Strangely though, I now seem to be experiencing an identical issue with my iMac after updating to the latest version of CS6. It is even worse though, with no audio playing at all. From both these experiences, I'm guessing there still might be a few bugs in the software too.

Audio stops playing after a few seconds when importing a HD clip

I have CS4 running on Enterprise version of Windows 7 64 bit on the following hardware:
Processor: Intel i7-970 Hex core Gulftown
Motherboard: Asus P6X58 Premium
RAM: 24GB Kingston DDR3 1065
Video card: Nvidia Geforce9800GT
Four hard drives, system disk is stand alone and the other three are split in groups of RAID0
When I import a HD clip from file (EXCAM EX 720p60p) the audio will play in the source window or the timeline for a few seconds and then quit. If I edit the clip in Soundbooth, from the timeline, the waveform quits at the point that the audio stopped in the timeline.
This behavior is very sporatic; sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. Closing the program and restarting sometimes solves a certain clips audio problem, sometimes it doesn't. Yesterday I worked all day without it happening but today it is happening every few clips. Some I can fix by restarting Premiere, some I can't.
If I import the clip from Bridge to Soundbooth the audio waveform is just fine.
I have seen this problem discussed several years ago but never resolved in that discussion. Any ideas?

Yes! I imported the entire BPAV in a file on my scratch drive under the specific project folder. From there I am using the media browser in CS4 to either preview the clip or import it into the project. The audio drops out whether it is previewed or imported. And as I have said, this behavior is not consistant. I have yet to find a repeatable cure.
Also as I have said if I import the offending clip, from the same folder, into Soundbooth using Bridge the waveform is fine. If I import the same clip into Soundbooth from the Premiere timeline the waveform goes flat where the audio stopped in Premiere.
Thanks for the quick replies.
I am readingthe article that was suggested soon.

Can I stop the slide audio (text to speech) when a quiz feedback caption with audio appears?

Hi there, We use text to speech on all our slides, however there is a problem we have been unable to solve. If we have audio on a quiz slide this continues to play when the feedback caption comes up. This means that if a learner clicks the answer quickly they hear the slide text and the caption text on top of each other. How can I stop the slide audio if the feedback caption appears. We have tried advanced actions to "stop triggered audio" and experimented with invisible text captions that have the audio added but have not solved it so far. Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this? Any help gratefully received, Many thanks Janet
PS We are using Captivate 8 with the installed Text to Speech voices

This is currently a common problem with audio in quiz slides of Captivate modules.
The configuration options for interactive objects on quiz slides to not allow the same level of control for audio playback that you have with normal interactive objects on other slides. (e.g. being able to stop other audio when something is clicked).
The Stop Triggered Audio action is often misunderstood. But as its name clearly indicates, it really only applies to stopping an audio clip that was TRIGGERED by another advanced action. That doesn't apply to background audio, slide level audio, or object level audio.
My suggestion is that you go back to your design and work out which of the two audio clips (the slide or the feedback audio) you can do without. Maybe your learners don't need them quite as much as you think.

Logic 10.0.6 Quicktime audio stops playing

I'm having an issue with Logic 10.0.6 where the QT audio stops playing along with the movie occaisionally. Especially if I change anything in the tempo window, but also sometimes when I haven't changed anything at all.
To get it to start playing again all I have to do is open up the Movie settings window and touch the volume setting slider, but that doesn't keep it from happening again. I've never had this issue with any previous version of Logic and have been running the audio this way for years.
Is anyone else having this issue, and have you found another more permanent solution?
Thanks

I have the exact same issue. I'm running Mavericks. My friend that has Mountain Lion has no issues.
Although I thought all it was doing was cutting off 4 frames in the front. But it sounds like you're saying it shifts the whole track by 4 frames, which is even worse!
Apple, fix this, please!

Audio Stops on Slide

The audio just stops on the second slide of a presentation.
There are no builds or animations on the slide. When the audio
stops, the button on the control panel switchs to Play and if you
click it, you get a few more words of audio before it cuts off
again. The slide that follows has a Captivate .swf file on it.
Any thoughts?

Captivate 7 saved project randomly does not play slide audio in preview project.

I created a training project with over 100 slides. Each slide has an audio track that I recorded, When I preview each slide it sounds fine. When you preview the entire project, some slides randomly do not play the audio track. Try it again and other slides randomly don't play. How can I fix this and prevent it from happening?

I concur, but do not have the device with me today, and was wondering if this is a common discrepancy. Has anyone tested Captivate output with slide audio into DPS? Does it work?

Keynote stops when playing and won't continue to next slide?

Keynote stops when playing and won't continue to next slide?

Hello, welcome to the user forum,
It would help if you told which version of Captivate you are using. Since you are talking about 'multiple actions', I suppose it is Captivate 4, because that feature was abandoned in Captivate 5 and even for CP4 it was not very recommendable, I always replaced it by an Advanced action.
I blog a lot about advanced actions, and also posted articles in the knowledgebase of CP-Help. A complete list of those articles are found as a link in this blog post:
Articles on Advanced Actions
It is a list published on acrobat.com; updated it yesterday with latest article.
If you are totally new to Advanced Actions, I could offer an example of the code you'll need, but want to know first if you are using CP4 or CP5.

How can I edit imported audio track? After selecting and deleting region and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted part! What am I doing wrong?

After selecting and deleting region, and joining remaining parts, it keeps playing the track with the deleted region!
What am I doing wrong?
How exactly are you doing this?
When I cut out a part of an audio region, then drag the remaining parts together, so they are touching, the track will skip the cut out section when playing the file. Also, if I select the remaining parts of the region and use the command "Edit > join regions". This will create a new audio file with the cut out part deleted.
You should see this prompt, when you are joining the regions:

When recording a slideshow, why does audio stop recording after about 30 seconds even though slides and presentation continues?

I'm doing everything the same and have made many successful slideshow recordings using Keynote, but since updating the Yosemite and then updating Keynote the audio just stops recording after about 30 seconds.
The slides keep on changing and recording the video, but after 30 seconds the audio stops recording even though it seems to be registering the sound and the mic is not muted in Keynote.
Is there some change or new setting I am not aware of that needs to be altered?
Any advice would be helpful as I need to record a lot of presentations.
OS X Yosemite version 10.10
Keynote version 6.5
MacBook Pro (Retina, 15-inch, Late 2013)
2.6 GHz Intel Core i7
16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB

I can't imagine this will work as the the application is tied into a specific computer and user ID to prevent unauthorised use of single use applications. Copying over has not worked with previous versions of Keynote.
It worked for me. I guess it could be because we bought our Macs together and have home sharing or something. Either way, I'm running Yosemite but with Keynote 6.2.2. and not updating again until Apple do something about this bug.
