Hi Luke,
I can't reproduce it in

Version: 6.2.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: 21b0bd63a41bda1153bb6173ec23ecdd13353999
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: ca-ES (ca_ES.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

Could you please try to reproduce it with a master build from http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/master/ ?
You can install it alongside the standard version.
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the master build

Another sample PPT (made with 26.2)

I can still reproduce this, when the PPT is saved in 26.2, and then opened in PowerPoint (2013).

My steps are:
- in a new presentation in Impress, add a shape,
- add animation to the shape,
- under Options, add sound,
- save as PPT, close, and open and play in PowerPoint.

To reproduce, perform these steps from scratch, don't rely on the attached sample, which just shows current state in 26.2.

Note that when reopened and played in Impress, the sound plays (not in 26.2 on Windows, because of bug 169697, but in 25.8 it does). No sound in PowerPoint, though.
