Re: [libreoffice-users] No audio in Impress with the famous Don McLean Vincent van Gogh pps-file on Linux Mint 17.1

       Just downloaded then attempted to play this -
           then I opened it in LO to find that there is no sound attached.

       Therefore here's another example of where MsFt is able to play a
sound byte
           which LO must consider as dangerous  ???

       A possible solution:
           play in MsFt PP then go 'behind the scenes' to collect the audio
sound byte ...
          then piece the video with the audio together & save for your
enjoyment.

​Thanks for your reply, anne-ology !  fear you misunderstood me ; I first
tried opening the .pps file in LibreOffice Impress, before checking to see
what would happen in the event I opened it in other media players such as
VLC. As stated above, I got no sound when I did so on my Linux Mint 17.1
machine ; I can report that the audio portion of the file didn't work any
better in Impress (LO version: 4.3.5.2) on an updated 64-bit Windows 8.1
machine. I had, of course, no difficulty whatever playing it in Powerpoint
(MS Office 2013)....

Anyone else
​have any suggestions ? This wonderful presentation is available online -
4peonies.com/VanGogh.pps - so interested LO users can easily give it a
whirl and see if they get better results than I do....

Henri
