Hello,



My office computer was recently upgraded with Office 2013. I use the narration recording function in Powerpoint almost daily to record presentations / trainings, so I am not a novice user. Before the conversion to Office 2013 I never had any issues with with recording narrations (I was previously using Office 2010).

I attempted to record a slide for the first time yesterday and while I can record my voice for the length of the narration, the actual playback cuts off at around 32 seconds. I have done multiple test files since then and the same thing happens every time. I record the narration as usual, but when I playback the audio my voice cuts off at around 32 seconds. It's almost as if Powerpoint has this maximum time of 32 seconds set somewhere, but I cannot find where to change it. Like I said, I never ran into any issues when I was using Powerpoint 2010.

I'm in a bit of a panic as I need to complete a recording today and our IT support is backed up. Any help from the Powerpoint pros out there would be GREATLY appreciated!!

Thank you!

I guess there is no fix or setting to check for this problem. I have an instructor at the community college I work at who is having the same problem on her desktop. It is fine on her laptop, but it cuts off after about 40 seconds on her new desktop.

Is there no solution or try to fix this problem?
