Make sure the soundtrack is a WAV file. It is the only format that can be embedded into powerpoint.

* In PowerPoint 2003, follow these steps:
1. Go to the first slide, and select Insert -> Movies and Sounds -> Sound from File to insert the sound.

2. After you click OK, you can see a message pop up asking how you want the sound to start in slide shows. Click Automatically.

3. Select Slide Show ->Custom Animation to enter the Custom Animation pane. Your soundtrack is listed below in the pane.

4.In the drop-down list of the sound, choose Effect Options. Then the Play Sound interface appears. In the Effect tab, click the radio button beside Stop Playing With XXX slides to enter the total number of slides.

5.Next, check the settings in the Timing tab. To play automatically, you can set to Start With Previous with a 0-second delay. Click OK to exit the dialog box.

6.Then go to Sound Settings tab, change the sound volume as you like. You can also tick to hide sound icon during slideshow if you don’t want it appear.
Now you can play the soundtrack from the very beginning to the end of your slideshow.

* In PowerPoint 2007, do as follows:
1. On the slide, click Insert to pick the Sound drop-down list on the very right below the tab. Select Sound from File in the list and choose the specified sound track from your hard drive.

2. Click OK and a message prompts, saying “How do you want the sound to start in the slide show?”. Click Automatically.

3. Now click the sound icon to sight the Options tab. Click on the tab, and set Play across slides for Play Sound.

At the moment, it is time for you to play the entire slide show while enjoying this pleasant sound score.

* Open a PowerPoint file
* On the Insert menu, top to Movies and Sounds, and then click Sound from File.
* Click the music or sound file you want to insert and then click OK.

·Tips: Permanently place the music/audio file in the same folder as your PowerPoint presentation. If you later go the PowerPoint presentation to another computer, copy the music/audio file too. Maintenance your music/sound file in the same folder as your presentation ensures the link will still work. But, you should permanently test the music/audio file on a new machine just to be certain. Re-insert the music/audio file, if necessary.

* With you click OK, you’ are promoted with a message asking how you want the music/audio file to start in the slide show. Choose Automatically.
