Do you know what PPT versions are being used? The later versions will
open document files directly. I would try opening the open document file
in PPT check to see if everything works correctly then save the file in
PPT format. My guess is that the file conversion is not properly
converting the links.

Another possibility, where the audio files stored? Are they on a Windows
compatible driver (NTFS, FAT32)? If Windows can not read the disk, it
will not find the files, this could be an oversight if you are using
Linux, Windows does not normally read Linux partitions.
