The background music may not play correctly in Photo Story 3 for Windows
When you create background music in Microsoft Photo Story 3 for Windows, the music may not play correctly when the following conditions are true:
- On the Background Music screen in Photo Story 3 for Windows, you click Create Music to add the background music to your photo story.
- In the Genre box, under Custom music properties, you click Soundtrack or World.
In this scenario, some of the instruments in the arrangement may not play. For example, only percussion instruments may play.

- Click Sounds, Speech, and Audio Devices, and then click Sounds and Audio Devices.
Note In Classic View, click Sound and Audio Devices. - On the Audio tab, click Advanced under Sound playback.

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.
