Storyline doesn't support sounds that were inserted into PowerPoint animations (as shown here). However, Storyline does support audio that was imported into PowerPoint via the Insert menu as well as narration recorded in PowerPoint. Storyline also supports audio that was imported or recorded in Articulate Presenter.
Thank you for your input. I am not trying to import sounds associated with
animations. I'm just trying to import narration audio. For some reason, the
imported sound does not come with the PPT.
Thanks for confirming - were you able to review the other elements I shared to ensure you were importing from Powerpoint correctly? If you'd like to share the Powerpoint here, we're also happy to take a look and try it as well.
Also, just as an FYI when you reply via email your signature is included in the post and you're welcome to edit that if you'd like to remove the information.

I am trying to import a PPT (2010) presentation into Storyline 2 but the audio didn't make the trip. What can I do?
Hi Alan,

You'll want to follow the directions here to import from powerpoint, and ensure you're working on local project files as detailed here.

Here is a method to extract the .wav file from the Powerpoint so that you can import the .wav into Storyline.

Hi Ashley, I have 19 PPTs to convert. They are all in the 50MB range. Is
there a way to send them to you other than email?

Hi Alan,
Sure you can share one with us using this upload form. Please let me know here once you've submitted it.
Brent, you're a lifesaver. Thank you brother! My blood pressure is now returning to normal. :-)
Thanks Timothy for the update and I'm glad Brent was able to assist!
