Background audio problems

Help! I have installed background audio on numerous slides in my presentation and today when I come back to the project, the audio is there but the checkboxes to control looping or removing background audio in the properties box are not active or working (they are just greyed out like there is not background audio at all). The background is there (i am listening to it) and on the slides I selected yesterday, i just cannot remove it from any of them or add it to any that were not selected yesterday. What would cause this??

Any ideas??

My deadline looms....

Background audio is set up in a different place to audio on individual slides.

Go to Audio > Edit > Background to edit the background audio.

For individual slides, just double click the audio track on that slide.

Thanks for the response,

Yes I know that the background audio is edited (for purposes of volume etc) under audio>edit>background. However this interface allows you to edit (or record to etc) the entire project. Once that is done, in order to eliminate the background track from a particular slide (not lower it because of narration or anything, as that is under the interface you mention, but instead to have it not play at all for a particular slide), you have to click the “remove background audio” check box in the audio section of the property inspector.

This check box can be found right under the “loop audio” checkbox which is not for background audio, but for object oriented or particular slide oriented audio. If you have audio on only one object or the slide itself, the loop option will become active but the background will not. If you install a background audio file however, then the remove background box becomes active. I have actually done that operation several times, so that was why I was so shocked when suddenly it wouldn’t work.

In any event, I again thank you for your thoughts. Any further notions?

I have a voice recording but there is so much noise I can't hear the voice's. Is there a way to get rid of everything but the voice's?
