CD audio tracks do not play as you expect in PowerPoint
After you insert a CD audio track in your presentation, the
times for each track and the tracks themselves may not correspond to the actual
time and tracks on the audio CD. Also, the tracks may not play according to the
settings you gave them in the
CD Audio Options dialog box.
This symptom occurs if you have Microsoft Windows Media Player version 7.0
installed on your computer.
This problem occurs because Windows Media Player 7.0 does
not allow other programs to access playlists or build playlists dynamically for
CD audio tracks. Because of this, PowerPoint uses the Windows Media Control
Interface (MCI) to access the CD audio tracks . MCI does not have the same
capabilities as Windows Media Player for CD audio playback.
To resolve this problem, upgrade to the most current version
of Windows Media Player. For information about how to do so, visit the
following Microsoft Windows Media Web site:
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
APPLIES TO
- Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2003
- Microsoft Office PowerPoint 2007
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.
Thank you for using kbAlertz.com Feedback System.
