[Luciano Dato]

Binary package hint: libreoffice

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 10.10
Release: 10.10

2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-impress
libreoffice-impress:
  Instalados: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1
  Candidato: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3~maverick1
  Tabla de versión:

amd64 Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
N: Ignoring file 'getdeb.list.bck' in directory '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/'
as it has an invalid filename extension

3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Impress via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/716439/+attachment/1900142/+files/LouisArmstrong%20MBa.pps && loimpress -nologo LouisArmstrong\ MBa.pps

is the sound plays when viewing the file in Presentation mode.

4) What happened instead is it does not. This occurs in a 64-bit environment. Not reproducible in a 32-bit one.

Luciano Dato, this is unreproducible in Ubuntu 10.10, LibreOffice Impress via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/716439/+attachment/1900142/+files/LouisArmstrong%20MBa.pps && loimpress -nologo LouisArmstrong\ MBa.pps

The song played with the presentation.

[MasterPJ (masterpj)]

I have the same problem, no audio in pps or ppt files with libreoffice 3.3.1 on maverick.

[Shimi Chen (shimi-chen)]

@MasterPJ, Can you provide a file that does not play sound for you? Or is the file uploaded by Luciano not working for you also?

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[penalvch (penalvch)]

Luciano Dato, the issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport . If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.

[davio smitti (dlsmithmd57)]

I cannot get PPSX to play sound.

PANGOLIN

OpenOffice 3.3.0

The Louis Armstrong file plays fine.

[davio smitti (dlsmithmd57)]

Oh, in neither OpenOffice 3.3.0, nor in LibreOffice 3.5.2.2

[Shimi Chen (shimi-chen)]

I'm forwarding this bug from Ubuntu Launchpad as it seems to be an upstream one.
This is the original report:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/716439

A file provided by "davio smitti" that illustrates the issue is attached.
I have tried the file in PowerPoint and there is a sound of a man talking through the slideshow, in Impress it is silent.

[Shimi Chen (shimi-chen)]

Attachment was too large, link from launchpad:

[Bfo-bugmail (bfo-bugmail)]

Confirmed with:
LO 4.0.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: own W7 debug build (dec8fe97d9f48d59b6bb0f98faded0f6aa8397df)
Windows 7 Professional SP1 64 bit

Silence. Only speaker icon is displayed. WAV file is unrecognized.

[DeMus (jan-mussche)]

Kubuntu 13.04
LibreOffice 4.0.2.2
Kernel 3.8.0-23-generic
I have used various versions of LibreOffice and Ubuntu's (incl. LinuxMint) and I have never had sound when playing a pps file.

Just made a presentation myself, added music but it does not play.

[chris (ign-christian)]

Set platform: All per comment 2

Seems like spesific to 64bit system as described on upstream bug. I can't reproduce on LO 4.0.4.2 (Win7 32bit)

[chris (ign-christian)]

Sorry..I've just realized that attachment on comment 1 is different with attachment in upstream bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/716439/+attachment/1900142/+files/LouisArmstrong%20MBa.pps
(pps file which I tested on comment 3)

But I can confirm reproduce problem with ppsx file on comment 1 with:
LO 4.0.4.2 - Win7 32bit
LO 3.6.6.2 - Ubuntu 12.04 32bit
