sound delayed

[vlh]

I have added music to a ppt to play across slides and loop until stopped.
When I run the presentation it takes until the 3rd or 4th slide to start. It
is a midi file about 28K. What am I am I doing wrong? I want the music to
start when the presentation starts.

What version of PPT?

Have you viewed the animation pane and confirmed the audio file is the first
item in the animation list?

Please let me add a question to this post. I am using PP 2003. I have been
trying to start an embedded music or dialog tract to synchonize with the
start of a given slide. (Also refer to my post on March 7 about delay in
starting music.) I have been totally unsuccessful in this. In the custom
animation pane, I have set the delay to zero, but it still starts several
seconds after the slide opens. There are no other animated objects in the
slide. That did not work. So, I tried to place the embedded sound object in
the first slide and gave it a delay the total time of all slides before the
slide where I want the dialog to start. That also did not work. (All slides
are advanced by time, not by click.) Please help -- I have run out of ideas.
Thank you.
