XCCC: You Cannot Use Outlook Web Access to Play an Embedded Sound Wave Object
This article was previously published under Q321583
If you use Microsoft Outlook to record sound waves directly into an e-mail message, you cannot play these sounds back by using Microsoft Outlook Web Access (OWA). If you use Internet Explorer, log on to OWA, and then you open the message, the Volume icon for the sound wave appears. However, if you double-click the message you do not hear the sound.
This problem can occur because Microsoft Exchange Server converts the embedded object to a bitmap (.bmp) image. By design, raw OLE objects cannot be embedded directly into a Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) file.
To work around this problem, record a sound wave file separately, attach the file to an e-mail message, save the sound wave file to the local computer by using the Outlook Web Access client, and then play the sound back.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Exchange 2000 Server Standard Edition
Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
