I'm afraid that you'll get a loooonnnnggg silence on this issue here :-(
It is, and has been a problem for some time. But a question first: do
you have JMF installed (see the recent thread "help - Impress - Sound -
export")? That's the first step in getting any sound to work on linux
w/Impress. Here was what I did to get it working in my distro:

OK, after all this time I *finally* got JMF to work. The trick was
following a combination of the Sun instructions, instructions from posts
2 (james_h) and 7 (hovel).

Here is what I did (this is on Ubuntu 7.04 w/OOo 2.3 so modify according
to your distro):

1. Downloaded the JMF bin file from:
http://java.sun.com/products/java-media/jmf/2.1.1/download.html
Followed the instructions on that page:

If you are installing the JMF Performance Pack for Linux

    * Change directories to the install location.
    * Run the command % /bin/sh ./jmf-2_1_1e-linux-i586.bin
</quote>
by moving the file to my /opt directory.

2. From a terminal:

$ cd /opt
$ sudo /bin/sh ./jmf-2_1_1e-solaris-sparc.bin

Accepted/yes to all except the last where it recommends that you enter "no".

That creates the /opt/JMF-2.1.1e folder/directory

$ export JMFHOME=/opt/JMF-2.1.1e
$ export
CLASSPATH=$JMFHOME/lib/jmf.jar::$JMFHOME/lib/sound.jar:.:${CLASSPATH}
$ export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$JMFHOME/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH}

3. Opened OOo: Tools/Options/Java/Class Path - _browse_ to
/opt/JMF-2.1.1e/lib and click on jmf.jar - click OK.
