Comment 1 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2022-11-21 14:09:31 UTC
Can't reproduce with:

Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: deb7bc82de19ea8e20c767fdf21f9ba4feb5e9f0
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

nor:

Version: 7.4.2.3 / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 382eef1f22670f7f4118c8c2dd222ec7ad009daf
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: de-DE (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded

Downloaded the file from Google Slides, opened it in LO 7.5, clicked the audio element on the first slide and pressed the play button: audio plays. Also plays when presenting.

But I can reproduce in:

Version: 7.5.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: deb7bc82de19ea8e20c767fdf21f9ba4feb5e9f0
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19045; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI: en-GB
Calc: threaded

No audio in editing or presenting modes. Maybe Windows-specific.

We have bug 72792, which could be about PPT when this one can be about PPTX.

Is it possible to get another link to this .pptx? The link says the presentation has been deleted.

Dear Samuel Gu,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
