Patrick,
Downloaded and quick tested. I have SOUND!!! 
I played several of the sample Gallery sounds and they worked fine. Are there other things I can do to test??

PowerPoint presentations with sound spring to mind; these are always finicky in OOo (and hard to find free samples to test)....

I tested sounds from the gallery as well as selecting the Slide Show -> Slide Transition menu in a presentation and turning on sound in the transition.
Also, after playing a sound in the gallery, I opened an MPEG file in the Neo media player and played that to test pausing, volume changing, and changing of the start point.
Note that looping is disabled (I couldn't get my QuickTime code to do looping) and that you should also be able to hear the sound in a movie file.

I tried it with a 5 year old Powerpoint presentation. The slides were slow to load, but the sounds were implemented, and they seemed to be the right sounds! 
It's great to have sound: not that I use it much personally in office suite stuff, but for presentations in particular, it's great.

Yes, I can confirm that, Patrick. I have tried it with .mov, .avi and .mpeg files, and I can get the sound fine in each of those.

Just sound, no video, right? That's what I think I'm reading here, and that's what I'm getting from assorted .mov and .avi files I have
Even just sound is an awful lot better than the 2.0 X11 builds could do last I tried; they wouldn't play most sound files (not to mention sound tracks in media files) that I had lying around (and yes, I had installed the media player stuff that it was un-documented that you had to use to play sound and media in OOo 2).... 
Bravo Patrick!

Yes, just sound is what I'm getting, Smokey. I get a speaker symbol on screen, and a few player keys [play, pause, volume etc] on the menu at the bottom of the screen. I haven't ever checked OpenOffice.org to see what that gives.

In OOo X11, most people will see an image of a question mark. All the sound controls will be there, but they will not play sound. However, if you have Java 1.5 installed and have the Java Media framework installed (its not available for Java 1.4.x), you will get sound support in OOo X11.

I understand sound is available with a slide show. I may be missing something, but how do you turn it on? thanks.  |
