I am working in Presenter '09. I am trying to delete an audio file. I go into the "import audio" icon and then highlight the proper slide and then click on the "remove" button. The file disappears under the "Audio" column, but when I preview the slide, the audio I thought I deleted is still there. I have deleted lots of files using this approach in the past, so I am not sure what I am doing wrong.
After you delete the audio from the Import Audio screen, try publishing your presentation to the web instead of previewing it. Does the audio appear in the published version?
Hello - I am having the same issue - the audio is deleted in import audio, but still plays when published to the web. The communicator add-in is not disabled in my PPT 2010. Any suggestions?
If you haven't had any luck following the methods suggested above, please create an Articulate Presenter package, then upload the zip file to our server so that our support engineers can take a closer look. You can review how to do this here:

I'm having the same issues, but Communicator is not disabled. Did you find a solution for Greg's problem? I had imported separate audio for 40+ slides, but the last 3 I needed to change. However, when I delete them, they still play in preview and publish. I rebooted as well. Is something stuck in the PPTA file? There are no audio transitions (I checked). Please help. Thanks.
Nevermind. We found the fix. In PowerPoint, under NARRATION, click on IMPORT AUDIO and it will show the audio and the path it's looking at for each slide. Remove the sound there and reimport. My problem was solved.

Hi Brian,
Thanks for responding.
Yes, the audio file does appear in the published version too. Any other ideas?

Hi Greg,
It sounds like the Communicator add-on is disabled. Can you try enabling it by using the method in the link below?

Hi Diane!
Glad that you were able to find the culprit.
I wanted to pop in and share the following to prevent confusion about the audio:
Articulate Presenter '13 doesn't support audio that was recorded or imported in PowerPoint. You'll need to record or import audio in Presenter instead.
