Open office 3.2 does not play sound pp slide show

Asked by Rick Nelson

I have Open Office installed in Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick & when I try to play a slide show in Open Office 3.2 presentation it plays the pictures ok & but the music fails to play. It did play the same file OK in Ubuntu 10.04 so I am wondering if there is a setting I am missing?

When I click on a pp file it opens to OO Presentation & starts to play & there is in the lower right corner a moving symbol of music notes but no audio is heard from the speakers. It plays OK in another distro of Peppermint that I have installed.

Thanks,

If you save the file in OOo format (i.e opd) the sound may work. If not, then there is no solution at present.

I have asked for a sample ppt file with sound to be attached to the bug. If you can do that it would help progress the bug.

Can you help with this problem?
