Question QUESTION: Hi Jefferson,
I can't seem to find a solution to this problem anywhere on the Internet. I'm hoping you can help. I've created a PowerPoint slide show that uses sound that plays automatically as each slide is automatically presented. The trouble is that when I create a navigation button to go back to the "Previous" slide, the results are baffling. Yes it does go to the previous slide but that's about it! No sound! And the slide does not play at all! It just sits there, and does not automatically go to the next slide. The whole presentation stops dead in its tracks. If I then try to press a navigation button that will take me to the next slide, that one stops too! No sound! No advancement to next slide! So I created a button that will play the sound when clicked. So what! That's all that happens. The presentation does not automatically continue.
Got any ideas or solutions? If not, please expose this problems to others you know who may be in a position to help.
Thanks,
Sas
ANSWER: Hi,Sas
You can do steps for setting up the effect of the sound as follow:
1. Click animations tab, then click the custom animation, you can see a pop-up window.
2. Click the sound file that you want to set, Click the drop down arrow of the music item you just added from the Custom Animation list and select Effect Options.
3. A window named Play Sound displays. Select After and then set the total number of slides. Now when you select OK and exit the custom animation box, your sound will continue to play.
Hope it helps!

QUESTION: Hi Jeffson,
I sent a file to you through
Did you receive it yet?
Answer Hi Sas,
I received your file.
There are many people ask this question before, but I will tell you there is no answer of this question in PowerPoint till now.
In PowerPoint, you can not set up your sound play automatically when you go to the previous slide.
But you can these two ways for solving this question.
1. You can copy your slide 2 and paste on the next slide of slide 3. And set up the hyperlink of "previous" button to the next button. I will set up it as this method and send the file to you.
2. You can use a third tool to convert your PowerPoint to Flash, and you can control this question in it.
See this sample and you can find you can go to any slide for your sound play automatically.
