No sound when viewing powerpoint show

I have received an powerpoint show which contains sound. But there's no sound when I view it in Keynote.
I have tried opening it on my work pc, a windows/office2003 combination, and music pours out of the speakers.
I have searched for others with this problem, but the latest post is almost two years old. So was this ever fixed or do I need to do something?
I have already upgraded to the latest 9.0.3 iWork release.

FYI
The ppt/pps with problems are the ones where the sound file is .wav
For reasons beyond my understanding, Keynote does not support this basic sound format. Comon Apple, this format has been there ever since I remember. I even had a sampler on my C64, which handled this format.
What gives?
Temporary solution was to install OpenOffice 3.1 on my mom's imac. We both remain clueless as to why we paid for the apple office suite, and then have to install an open source variant to handle ppt's with .wav sound files.
How is a macaficionado/fanboy to explain this to a mac-convert?

  • No Sound when viewing Flash content in Safari for Windows

    Hopefully someone can help.
    Just recently, I've been unable to get sound when viewing Flash content on the web.
    I currently use Safari for Windows, when I use Internet Explorer on the same computer I can get sound. Just no sound when using Safari for Windows????
    Please help, I like Safari for Windows much better than I.E. but I'm forced to use IE when I want to watch something with sound.
    Thank you

    Are you using Safari 3.1.2?
    Try reinstalling the Flash plugin at: http://www.apple.com/safari/download/plugins.html

  • Why don't I have sound when viewing videos on Facebook or you tube?

    Why don't. I have sound when viewing videos on Facebook or you tube?

    Quicktime or Quicktime Pro (which iTunes uses) don't convert "muxed" ( muxed means multiplexed where the audio and video are stored on the same track) video files properly. It only plays the video and not the audio.
    See:iPod plays video but not audio.
    You need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
    See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

  • No sound when viewing movie in Windows browser

    Hi.
    I posted a video on my website and it plays fine when viewed on any Mac browser but plays without sound when viewed with IE after booting Windows XP under Boot Camp. The following message appears under Windows when the video is selected:
    "Additional software is required for QuickTime to play back this media. It may be available from the QuickTime Components page."
    I couldn't see anything on the Components page that seemed suitable.
    The video was taken with a DV-PAL camcorder, edited in iMovie HD and exported to QuickTime movie with Expert Settings using H.264 codec and MPEG 4 Low Delay AAC sound setting at 48 kHz (the only available rate option) and 160 kbps bit rate. As well as the original soundtrack (dialogue) the movie has an imported music soundtrack consisting of two files, one .mp4 format and one .m4a format. I assume it is these imported tracks that are causing the problem, since I have QT Pro on my Mac, but only the free QT on Windows. All the other movies I have posted only have a single soundtrack (either original camera soundtrack or imported music, not both), and all play fine on both Windows and Macs.
    My question: what do I need to do to make my movie play without problem on any platform, without additional software being required by the viewer?
    Thanks.

    I solved the problem by re-exporting my movie with IMA 4:1 format sound. This doesn't compress as much as MPEG 4 Low Delay AAC but at least IE8 can handle multi-track sound with it. IE8 can handle MPEG 4 Low Delay AAC encoded SINGLE-TRACK sound fine, just not (apparently) multi-track. So if your movie only uses the original video soundtrack, or if it only uses a music track (with a slideshow, for example), it'll work fine. But if you have both, for example fading dialogue and music in and out, you might want to check that it plays as expected in the Windows IE world. If your movie plays without sound in IE, try another sound format. I didn't experiment with all the iMovie sound export options as I struck lucky first time with IMA 4:1.
    I learned about and recommend the free program IE Tester (http://www.my-debugbar.com/wiki/IETester/HomePage) from another poster here. It allows you to test web pages with IE all the way back to version 5. If 80% of internet surfers use IE (as some claim), we Mac-users really need to test our sites using this browser. My problematic movie now works fine with all tested versions of IE.

  • PowerPoint Shuts Down When View Slide Show

    I am using Office 2004 and when I try to View Slide Show, the program shuts down. It just started doing this. Have had it 2-1/2 years. I used Disk Repair. I Removed Office and Reinstalled. And, it still is doing that. Any suggestions?

    Office I believe has a repair tool somewhere hidden in one of the folders.
    On another note, have you ever tried iWork's Keynote? You can do more stunning presentations and working with media is much easier than PowerPoint. Also, you can export to PowerPoint if you need to. But some advanced features PowerPoint won't be able to support.
    I've kicked my MS habit and no longer use Office, even though I have Office 2008. I'm all iWork now.

  • Distortion with sound when viewing burned movie from idvd

    I created a movie in iMovie that included tracks from iTunes and exported it to create the dvd in iDVD.
    When viewing it in iMovie, it sounds great.
    When I exported and viewed the movie in iDVD, it sounds great.
    But after I burn the dvd and view it on any of my tv's, the sound is distorted. I've tried playing the settings in iMovie changing the track volume to a lower setting but that isn't helping.
    Can anyone help?

    I had a similar problem. Some of the music in my movie was distorted playing on my TV. Burning the dvd in disk utility did not make a difference, but the file was 3 times larger. Anyway while trouble-shooting I found that it played much better through the HDMI cable as opposed to the component cables. It also played ok on my older TV through the AV cables. So it is either my component out jacks on my dvd player or my component cable. I have noticed other dvd's that I made from my Imac do play very loud on all my TV's.

  • Chipmunk sounds when viewing videos from websites

    hello,
    i have several HP dc5850 workstations in my office.  Most of my people need to view video content from different websites from time to time.
    However when we listen to the playback, the sound we here sounds like that of a chipmunk.  Like it is in fast forward mode or something.  This is using Microsoft Windows Media Player.
    Has anyone come over this issue and how was it resolved?
    I look forward to your responses.
    Thanks,
    Desmond

    Hilarious (sorry)...
    This should be the audio effects in WMP. Use the following support doc to turn them off. Somebody had them enabled whenthe hard drive images were made?

  • Quality degredation when viewing Powerpoint documents?

    Hello,
    I'm the IT admin at a medical college. (I run the whole place via my MBP with Fusion and RDC.) The vast majority of the teaching materials are in the form of MS Powerpoint presentations. I keep hearing from our Mac users that when they open the documents with Keynote, the image quality is degraded.
    If this is a known issue, is there a fix other than switching to Powerpoint? Granted, Keynote is much better, and that's not fanboy talk since I can't say the same about Pages or Numbers , but most of the students aren't creating presentations, they are just viewing and adding notes to existing MS documents. Due to the subject matter, image quality is very important.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks,
    -Travis

    Thanks for responding Lori - yeah, for whatever reason the image quality isn't quite as crisp when we use the PDF Printer.  If that's the way the system is designed then I guess we'll have to do it that way and sacrifice some image quality, printing notes is more important, would be nice if we could print speaker notes via PDFMaker though.  

  • Etting a white screen when viewing slide show using internet explorer

    When I or my clients view a slide show I created in Lightroom 1.4 using Internet Explorer we often get a white screen instead of the slide show. When we view the same using Firefox it works perfectly. I have downloaded Adobe flash reader and it doesn't help. I am including a link to my site if anyone would like to check it out. http://www.ajs-photography.com/ViewWedding.html . Is there a setting in Lightroom that I'm missing or something wrong with the way IE is configured. Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

  • My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band.  How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

    My podcasts do not show the pictures only the sound when I import them to iTunes from Garage Band.  How do I get the pictures to show up in iTunes?

    Well, all I can tell you is that if your file is an m4a with chapter markers, those markers having suitably sized images attached, and you drag it into the Music area of iTunes (so that it appears as a song) in List view, when you play it and then command-click on the small image in the header (next to the progress bar) you should see your embedded images.
    If this isn't happening the best place to ask would be in the GarageBand forum: my own experience of GB is rather out of date and in any case I've never used it for podcasting.

  • When I login to Horizon View, it shows me the list of desktops to connect to. If I'm entitled to only one desktop then can View auto connect me to that desktop instead of me clicking on Connect?

    Yes you certainly can.
    Right click any desktop in the list > Settings > in the left pane select the desktop you want to auto connect to > check "Auto connect to this desktop".

  • My apple TV will not show my iPhotos travel photos in sequence. I set up a sequence of photos that STAY in sequence when viewing in iPhoto on my iMac, but they do not show in sequence when my Apple TV shows them on my TV screen. My Apple TV is MC 572C/A

    My Apple TV will not show my photos in iPhoto on my iMac in the same sequence of images that I can see when viewing the iPhoto photos on my iMac. This is especially frustrating when I try to show my travel pictures in sequence on my TV. I have to resort to showing them on my iMac which defeats the principle purpose for purchasing my MacTV. Does anyone have a solution?
    My Apple TV is Model MC 572C/A and the software is 5.2.1 (6025)
    My iMac is Mac OSX version 10.7.5
    THANKS!

    I can't recall whether slideshows are ordered by title or date, but you can manually re-arrange the albums in iPhoto, then batch change them once you have the order you want.
