Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 104518
Sound will not be played if Presentation has been opened via net
Last modified: 2017-05-20 10:55:34 UTC
I found this problem with "Ooo 3.1.0 WIN XP multilingual version German UI activated [OOO310m11 (Build 9399)]". Steps to reproduce: Only for testing 1. download and underpac attached test kit 2. open "sample.odp" 3. <f9> to start Presentation expected: "MY_tada_new.wav" from same folder should be played with first slide actual: as expected 4. <space> for next slide expected: sound "applause" from gallery should be played actual: only sound if your gallery path is exactly the same like mine (what is an other problem and might be related to Issue 16937) Now the bug: 11. start an other CP in your network 12. open "sample.odp" via net (it does not matter whether you use OOo file dialogue or double click document in WIN Explorer 13. <f9> to start Presentation expected: "MY_tada_new.wav" from same folder should be played with first slide actual: NO SOUND 14. <space> for next slide expected: sound from gallery should be played actual: only sound if your gallery path is exactly the same like mine (what is an other problem and might be related to Issue 16937) Some further information : It seems that at least sometimes information concerning link to the sounds will be lost if document will be saved from the network computer. But currently this is not 100% reproducible for me. Linked pictures will be shown correctly via network. I tried on 3 network PC "round robin", problem in step 13 always reproducible, so NEW I believe that it is acceptable that there is no possibility to am bed sounds from gallery. Without that possibility you never can be sure that such a very simple presentation will be played correctly on an other computer with an other operation system or an other OOo version. I will check whether we already have a n Issue for this!

Where is the sound attached in the slide? Is it a slide transition? Object effect? In the current version of the bugdoc the sound cannot be played because it is not attached in any way...
@wg As written in Summary, we only talk about Slide transition effect sounds. I did not test other sound effects, but you are right, that's necessary, too. I will do those tests, soon. I believe you found "MY_tada_new.wav" in the test kit and in 'Task Pane -> Slide Transition -> Modify Transition - Sound - applause' for "Slide 1", so your question is concerning sound "applause" for Slide transition "Slide 2"? My OOo offers that sound in Task Pane 'Slide Transition -> Modify Transition - Sound - applause'. It seems that here we have the effect that unavailable linked sounds (sometimes) will be lost without any hint. May be you will find some hints in the document's XML sources? But the reported bug due to summery (... via net ...) only affects "MY_tada_new.wav" for "Slide 1", the problem with "applause" is causes (also) by other problems (differend gallery paths(?)).
When opening your sample.odp file none of the slides has a slide transition applied. You say: open the file and start it. But the sound cannot be played as long as no slide has a slide transition. Or do I misunderstand something?
@wg: If you do not hear a sound after you opened "sample.odp" (on your own PC), selected Slide 1 and pressed <f9>, I can't understand that. May be we can chat on "#qa.openoffice.org"?
The bugdoc has no slide transitions assigned. To none of the three slides. No slide transitions -> no sound. Maybe you have attached the wrong document? When opening the file no slide in the slide pane shows the "slide transition" icon in the lower left corner.
Ok, reproducible now. Thanks for your further explanations. Still there is the secret how the sound is attached to the slide..
Created attachment 64407 [details] Pls. use this bugdoc in same folder as sample.odp from my first attachment to learn some more details concerning the bug
I tried somethin additional: 1. Opened "sample_new.odp" on Laptop via network 2. checked with <f9> and found sound for Slide 1 broken as reported 3. Used the corresponding function in 'Task Pane -> Modify Transition -> Sound - Other sound...', browsed for "MY_tada_new.wav" via network on my Desktop (in same folder as "sample_new.odp") and selected it as sound for transition. 4. <f9> to start Presentation expected: "MY_tada_new.wav" for Slide 1 actual: no sound 5. saved and closed "sample_new.odp" 11. Opened "sample_new.odp" directly on DESKTOP from WIN Explorer 14. <f9> to start Presentation expected: "MY_tada_new.wav" for Slide 1 actual: AS EXPECTED 15. saved and closed "sample_new.odp" 20. copied a new sound "My_chimes.wav" to my testkit folder on Desktop. 21. Opened "sample_new.odp" on Laptop via network 22. checked with <f9> and found sound for Slide 1 broken as reported 23. Used the corresponding function in 'Task Pane -> Modify Transition -> Sound - Other sound...', browsed for "My_chimes.wav" via network on my Desktop (in same folder as "sample_new.odp") and selected it as sound for transition. 24. <f9> to start Presentation "My_chimes.wav" will not be played as expected from former results 25. saved and closed "sample_new.odp" Now I did as per 11. ff. and heard "My_chimes.wav". Further test showed that not only Slide Transition Sounds, but also sounds for Custom Animation are affected in the same was. So I modified Summary And a last observation with my "sample_new.odp". Both sounds still worked after I renamed the folder containing "sample_new.odp". But when I moved the folder to the root directory of the HDD, only "MY_tada_new.wav" still worked. Sound for slide 2 was broken, what might be a completely different issue. I believe it's critical that sounds do not work reliable if a presentation will be played via network.
