I can play the sound file when clicking on the "notes" page where sound file is display then clicking on arrow to make it "go".  But when running slides, no sound...?

Can you try with a newer LibreOffice version? You’ve specified you’re using 3.5.4, which is an old, unsupported version.

Is this bug still valid / reproducible with the latest LO release?

Please also try resetting your user profile and let us know if that helps: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile

Should this be still reproducible for you with the latest LO release please set this bug back to UNCONFIRMED. Should this issue be solved set it to WORKSFORME.

Setting to NEEDINFO until more detail is provided.

I can confirm this bug on Linux with LO 4.2.6.

When I add a .wav audio file to Impress, it freezes for a pair of minutes and takes very long time to reproduce the audio.

In 4.2.0.4 and 5.2.0.4, I get "format not supported" when trying to insert a .wav file.
(tried with https://download.samplelib.com/wav/sample-3s.wav)

In 6.0.0.3 and 24.2.4.2, it works for me in both edit and presentation modes.

Version: 24.2.4.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community

Testing on Ubuntu 22.04.

Can someone who was affected by this (Linda, Teo or Buovjaga) please test again in 24.2?

Comment 9 sounds like enough data to close as WFM. I don't have Ubuntu installed anywhere at the moment. If original reporter and testers can still repro, they can set back to NEW.
