No Sound in PowerPoint 2007 and 2010

This is a gotcha!

You insert a sound in PowerPoint 2007 or 2010 and you are pretty sure you did it correctly. Maybe it USED to work but no no sound at all plays. Annoyingly it works fine on other PC! Sound works everywhere else on your PC just not in PowerPoint.

This well hidden setting may be the answer!

Play a PowerPoint in show mode that should have music playing. Make sure the music seems to be playing (but no sound of course.

Press Ctrl T to show the taskbar and click on the speaker icon. If there's no speaker you may need to customize the task bar.

Speaker Icon

Now Click "Mixer"

Click Mixer

This is what you may see! Either unmute or raise the volume and see if that helps.

Nooo
