I work for a university. Some faculty distribute their lectures as Powerpoint slideshows with embedded audio. The audio works fine for most students, but a few are having issues. All the students have Powerpoint 2010.

If I extract the audio from the Powerpoint slide (by changing it to a zipfile), the audio clips play just fine on the student's computer. This ensures it is not a problem with the audio being embedded improperly or using a codec they do not have available.

Suggestions?

That's a weird one for sure... :) If the workstations in question are running Vista or 7, ensure that PowerPoint hasn't been muted/turned down in the audio Mixer (Vista+ allows per-application volume settings in the mixer).

Yeah, that was the first thing I checked. I forgot to mention that it is not app specific volume. – Myrddin Emrys Jul 18 '11 at 17:37
