No audio when creating slideshow in WMM

[grandmagail]

Hi,

Not sure where to post this question.

I created a slideshow like I do every year for our halloween party in windows movie maker. I imported the music and sounds I wanted, but there is no sound when I playback the storyboard or timeline. If I click on the imported file in collections and select play clip, it plays fine. They play okay in windows media player also.

I downloaded Windows Media Encoder and converted the mp3 files to wma as suggested on another forum even though I haven’t had a problem with sound in the past. I also unchecked a filter ending in .ax. as suggested. I checked the audio levels. Still no luck.

I am running out to time!

Does anyone have any other suggestions I can try?

I have Win XP SP2 and am using Windows Movie Maker 2.1.4026.0

Thanks for your help.

Gail

What is the format of the music files you used? Make sure same format is defined in WMM.

See this handy online demo also:

Regarding the format of the music files, as I said, I converted any mp3 files to wma. Plus, there were a few wav files.

Thanks,
