Yes, I know this one has been asked a million times before, but the
solutions are always somewhat "hit & miss".
Another user contacted me asking for advice about playing audio
throughout an entire Impress presentation with version 3.1.1. I referred
him to the relevant section of the current Impress User Guide, namely:
Chapter 9, pages 11-12, where it says it is possible to play a sound
throughout the presentation by:
<Q>
1.Select the slide where you want the sound to start and go to the
Slide Transition pane.
2. In the Modify transition section, select the entry "Other Sound"
from the Sound drop-down menu.
3. Select the "Loop until next sound" checkbox if you want the sound
to restart once it is finished.
Cautionary Note: Do not click the Apply to all button, otherwise
your selected sound will restart at every slide
</Q>
The other user followed the instructions to the letter and could not get
the audio to play continuously throughout the entire presentation. Being
unsure as to the cause of his issue, I tested this with 3.1.1 on 2
different OS, on 6 different machines, with both existing and newly
created presentations. Each time the result was exactly the same, in
that the audio (regardless of length) played to it's conclusion, but did
not loop until the end of the presentation.
Can anyone point me to an example of presentation where this works?
Unless I am completely overlooking something here (not impossible), I
propose to file a 3.1.1 bug report and request the Authors Project to
add a note to the user guide that point 3 (loop checkbox) above does not
work.
