no audio during presentation mode

[BroIceCream]

I am including a wma/mp3 song from a file in my presentation. The song
plays fine outside of powerpoint, but when I go in presentation mode, I
cannot hear the music.

The same powerpoint file plays fine on another machine. On my laptop
it doesnt play in presentation mode. Other audio files play fine on
the external speakers or earphones on the laptop.

correctly.

You may need to reset your sounds for the PPT 2003 Viewer, as PPT 2002/2003
handle sound a little differently than do 97/2000.

See Play sounds across multiple slides (A WAV runs through it)

I notice the speaker icon on the slide, only when I press that Icon the sound
file plays(this case using PP Viewer 2003), the strange thing that when I run
the presentation using the Office PowerPoint 2003 it works fine.
one more thing, I try to open and resave some of the presentations it works
perfectly, but some of the PPT files contain read-only embedded fonts so
these kind of PPT files can't be edited and as long I'm not owner of these
presentations I can't do any thing.
I noticed also in the Custom Animation window; the external sound files been
set to work as "After Previous" and they ordered to be the last custom
animation in every slide, I would like to clarify that these external sound
files are not music so the purpose of their existence to describe the slide
by voice. these presentations basically are lectures distributed by a
Magazine for free.

I guess it depends on how you define bug. I'd call it one, but I don't
expect a bugfix. I don't know for sure, though.

Thanks a lot Echo, your assistance is really helpful, I wish Microsoft will
release an updated version of PPT viewer 2003 that solves this Issue.

I guess it depends on how you define bug. I'd call it one, but I don't
expect a bugfix. I don't know for sure, though.
