Last comment didn't post correctly: I'm not sure I can believe that this is actually true. Are you saying that there is a bug in LibreOffice which prevents sounds on custom animations, and that this bug has been present for *THREE YEARS*, and is still not fixed, and is set to priority *MEDIUM*? I'm sorry, but that is completely baffling to me.
Playing audio along with individual slide events (not just slide transiitions) is a basic and fundamental feature of slideshow software. Slideshow software that does not have this feature has not yet reached public beta quality, let alone version 4.1. You cannot expect people to use Impress over alternatives with this bug in place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to openoffice.org in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/823155 Title: [Upstream] Impress Custom Animation Sound Effect not audible in Slide Show Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite: Confirmed Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: Unknown Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-impress libreoffice-impress: Installed: 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 Candidate: 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 Version table: *** 1:3.5.2-2ubuntu1 0 500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ precise/main i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status 3) What is expected to happen in a new Impress document via the Terminal: loimpress --nologo New Impress file -> click the rectangle containing "Click to add text" -> Under Tasks Custom Animation -> button Add... -> Entrance tab highlight Random Effects -> OK button -> right of Property ... button -> Effect tab -> change Sound dropdown apert -> OK button -> Slide Show and it plays the apert sound. 4) What happens instead is no sound is played during the slide show.
