No audio during Sync or Annotate??

Aug 28, 2012

So I'm sure there's a setting or something small I'm missing. 

I don't get any audio during animation Synch or Annotate. The audio files are in the import window and I can even go into the Audio Editor function and hear and edit the audio for any given slide. 

But for some reason when I open Sync or Annotate I get absolutely nothing. 

What am I missing, how do I solve this??

Cheers

Sorry for the trouble, Aaron. If you'd like, we'd be happy to take a closer look at what might be going on. Please create an Articulate Presenter package, then upload the zip file to our server. You can review how to do this here:

Hi Heather and welcome to E-Learning Heroes!

I was able to find Aaron's support case and it looks like his issue was installation-specific. 

First, please make sure that you're working with local project files:

  • Work on your local drive (your C: drive). Working on a network drive or a USB drive can cause erratic behavior, including file corruption, loss of audio, and other unexpected behavior. 
  • You should also make sure the directory path to your project files and your published output is less than 260 characters (for example C:\Articulate).
  • Avoid using special characters, accents or symbols in your file names (this includes spaces and underscores).

Additional information regarding "Naming Files, Paths, and Namespaces" in Windows operating systems can be found in the following Microsoft article.

If that doesn't fix the problem, please try repairing Studio:

If you're still experiencing these issues, please try the following troubleshooting steps:

Let me know if you try all of those suggestions and still have trouble.

Best,

Christine
