Concerning sound settings...
Hello.
I have a question. I am currently making a presentation for my Biology class, and I am obligated to make a few questions at the end. Now, I have made the questions, and hyperlinked them all to the appropriate slide which will tell whether the answer was correct or incorrect. All correct answers are hyperlinked to a single slide that will come up if you answer correctly. All incorrect answers are hyperlinked to a single slide if you answer incorrectly. The thing is, I have put the belonging sound on each one of those 2 slides, but they only play when I come to a slide for the first time, if I click on an answer that will lead me to a slide after one question leading to that slide was already answered, the sound will not play. So my question is, how do I set the sound file to play again when I navigate to that slide (via hyperlinks, of course). Thank you in forward. |

Add sound to hyperlink
Hello Starscream,
Here's a way to accomplish what you're after, I believe...good for PPT 2007 & 2010 for sure. Add the sound to the hyperlinked button (answer), instead of placing the sound on the slide the hyperlink points to. The steps:
I hope that helps...good luck on the project. George |

Oh god, it seems it is too soon to be jolly -.-. When I assign the sound in the preferences for the action button, it doesn't play while in the slideshow!! It takes me to the desired slide but doesn't play the sound...

Hmm....
I formerly inserted the sound in the slide itself, but it played only for the first time, and not if I answered correctly to the other answers, as I mentioned before. Does anyone know a way which will enable me to force the sound play every time I come to that slide? |

My earlier posts were tested using the built-in sounds in the Action Settings' "Play sound:" drop down.
This time I tried this and it worked.
Let me know what happens. George |

Here's another option to try...that's even easier than my last suggestion. Hopefully this will work for you.
First disable all other sounds associated with the hyperlinks or placed in the target page. Now, assign a Transition Sound to the target slide. You can do so in the Animations tab. When I tested this, it played my custom sound every time I jumped to the target slide, regardless of where I came from. Let me know if it works for you. Good luck. George (By the way, if you can't get sounds to play in any fashion in PowerPoint, I'd check the basics...speaker power and connections, sound settings and mappings on my pc, etc. Make sure sound is playing properly from your system...then try to narrow it down from there. Is it only related to PowerPoint, or other apps as well...stuff like that. Last edited by GeoPro; 03-08-2011 at 04:52 PM. |
