iabigred Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 I am a fairly new user and I have created three or four slideshow using *.wav files for background music. In my current project I want to use a song that has a long lead in. I installed WavePad and edited my file. When I went back to my exe project my sound doesn't work. I can read the directory and attach the files that I want, but when I run- nothing. If I click on Show Music Duration, it is 0:00, yet I can play the file in windows media player or WavePad.What does pic to exe use for a sound editor? Could this setting have been overridden? I tried reinstlling pictoexe but no change.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopehigh Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 What type of file have you brought back into PTE after editing in Wavepad? It may not be recognised by PTE. Have you converted back to MP3? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iabigred Posted December 13, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 The original file that I used in pictoexe was a .wav file. The edited file has the same .wav extension.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hopehigh Posted December 13, 2004 Report Share Posted December 13, 2004 might just be worth converting the wav to an mp3 and importing back into pte. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iabigred Posted December 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 I found it.I tried playing a slideshow that a firend had burned to a CD that I had played before and it didn't have sound either.Some how my Default audio device got turned off.I am on Windows XP. I went into the Control Panel, Sounds,Speech and Audio Device and started looking at setting. At some point I noticed that Default Audio Device was None. I tried several thinks and found that if I went into the Change Sound Scheme and the Audio Tab and changed the drop down from Moden #1 Line Playback to SoundMax Digital Audio, I then had a default audio device. I tried the CD slideshow and it worked so I tried the new slide show and it also worked.I sure don't remember changing that setting but somehow I must have.ThanksTom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Igor Posted December 15, 2004 Report Share Posted December 15, 2004 PicturesToExe has own engine for playing of WAV files. Because of this, it can't supports all different codecs of WAV format. Please use PCM 16-bit Stereo, 44,1 KHz format for WAV files (i.e. 100% CD quality).Or it better to convert WAV file into MP3. In this case your slide-show will be more smaller.
