Captivate 9: Background audio not working when publishing

Hi,

I've been road testing captivate 9 a lot recently... and I am having a lot of problems when publishing.

When I publish a normal, blank project with a background audio file (.mp3 or .wav) it repeats, glitches and sometimes sounds like its overlapping two of the same track on top of each other. Any idea what is causing this? The main slide audio is fine, it is just the background audio!

Thank you!

Hi,

Thanks for reporting the issue. The issue happens when the project is published to .mp4 which has background audio and slide audio. And the slide audio is not present in the first slide.

In this case, can you try this workaround and let us know it resolves the issue.

Add slide audio on the first slide from 0 to 0.5 sec and edit by inserting silence.

Thanks,

Hi everyone,

Thank you both for responding, and Rahinie, you are correct. I am publishing to .mp4 and my first slide has no slide audio.

I tried your fix, and it works!!! Thank you so much for your help!
