No Audio played when preview the presentation Presenter '13

Oct 01, 2013

I have a file which has attached audio When I preview the file it appears to be playing the audio along with the slides but there is no sound. I checked all of my sound settings and there is nothing wrong with my computer. How can I solve this problem?

Hi Ashley and welcome to Heroes!

Can you tell us a bit more about how you're inserting the audio and the files types you're using? You'll want to make sure that you're creating and editing your Presenter 13 project on your local drive as described here. If you are working locally and still having difficulty, we'd be happy to take a look at your files, and you'll just want to create a Presenter package and share the zipped file with us here or you're welcome to share it privately.

Just in case, here is a brief tutorial on inserting and recording audio within Presenter 13.

Hi Dena and Jean - welcome to the community!

I'm sorry to hear that you're both having trouble with this. I haven't had any luck locating a support case for Ashley Lam, so I'm not sure if this issue was resolved for her, or if the issue was narrowed down.

As Ashley T. mentioned, please make sure that you're working with all local project files. This includes your presentation files, as well as your audio files - unless you're recording.

  • 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 followingMicrosoft article.

If that doesn't fix the problem, please try repairing Studio '13:
