Bug 40780

[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html

The bug still persists in 3.5.0beta2

Joshua O'Leary, this is not reproducible. Please re-open if reproducible in 3.5.2+.

3) What is expected to happen in a new Impress document via the Terminal:

loimpress --nologo

New Impress file -> click the rectangle containing "Click to add text" -> Under Tasks Custom Animation -> button Add... -> Entrance tab highlight Random Effects -> OK button -> right of Property ... button -> Effect tab -> change Sound dropdown apert -> OK button -> Slide Show and it plays the apert sound.

4) What happens instead is no sound is played during the slide show.

Still a problem in 3.5.3:

Still problem in LO 4.2. Very confusing. Please, it's more important than changing UI or something like this. It's core function.

I can confirm it. This problem still persists. It somewhat disqualifies the Linux version compared to the Windows one.

May be duplicate of bug 67544 ??

vulcain@gmx.com: no, the problem with not including the file in the presentation is another issue altogether (but related). This concerns custom animation, and the sound effects do not play at all (let alone get embedded in the slide show). 

I think the whole multimedia system for Libreoffice could be in need of being redone, though this is no small task. (I would help if I knew and had the time to learn C++, I only know C)

I'm not sure I can believe that this is actually true.  Are you saying that there is a bug in LibreOffice which prevents sounds on custom animations, and that this bug has been present for *THREE YEARS*, and is still not fixed, and i

Last comment didn't post correctly:

I'm not sure I can believe that this is actually true.  Are you saying that there is a bug in LibreOffice which prevents sounds on custom animations, and that this bug has been present for *THREE YEARS*, and is still not fixed, and is set to priority *MEDIUM*?  I'm sorry, but that is completely baffling to me.

Playing audio along with individual slide events (not just slide transiitions) is a basic and fundamental feature of slideshow software.  Slideshow software that does not have this feature has not yet reached public beta quality, let alone version 4.1.  You cannot expect people to use Impress over alternatives with this bug in place.

inherited from OOo as per "see also" -- has been around since at least OOo 2.4. 
Certainly doesnt qualify as severity:blocker, see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Fields/Severity

finally, please add _only_ comments to issues on bugzilla that are relevant for triage and keep metadiscussions to the mailing lists (or QA meeting). Thanks.

On Ubuntu 12.04.4 x86_64 i reproduce with:
* LibreOffice 3.5.7.2 Version ID : 350m1(Build:2)
* LibreOffice 4.2.6.1 Build ID: 5fdddf655fba363e34f755715238d0943a44857e
* LibreOffice 4.3.0.2 Build ID: 14ed55896fdfcb93ff437b85c4f3e1923d2b1409 on Ubuntu 12.04


I think this bug is a major or critical bug. A lot of user want to add a son and hear it durng the slideshow

It is absolutely a blocker according to the criteria.  The last item on the list at https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Release_Criteria#Blocker_Bug_Definition is "unusable function".  Custom animation sound effects are currently an unusable function.

Demo file working by selecting a new sound and saving in 4.4

In LO 4.3 and 4.4 following the steps from Comment 5, I was NOT able to reproduce this bug. The slideshow played the sound. When I loaded the demo file and reselected a different sound, the slide played the correct custom animation sound during the slideshow.

Since newer files play sounds just fine, either impress-sound.odp is corrupt or there is an incompatibility with Impress playing sounds from presentations created with older versions. If that's the case, we should open a new report for that separate issue as this report is getting unwieldy.

Still broken in Libreoffice 1:4.2.6.3-0ubuntu1 (Ubuntu 14.04), using both demo files

Sorry I misread, maybe this has been fixed upstream. More people need to test this to confirm it has been fixed in 4.4

Joshua,
Please test this issue on 4.3 or 4.4 and confirm it has been fixed. If it's not, you can reopen the bug.

Still broken in 4.3 (from https://launchpad.net/~libreoffice/+archive/ubuntu/libreoffice-4-3), in Ubuntu 14.04.

Luke, which version of Linux have you tested this in? This bug seems to be Linux-specific

Screenshot of version still with bug

1:4.3.2~rc2-0ubuntu1~trusty2

As per https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=75683#c61 please check if this is a 32-Bit Linux only bug. => NEEDINFO

Björn: it can't be 32-bit only, the recent testing I have done (mentioned earlier) has all been on 64 bit

Couple things on this:

Reopened is only for a bug that has been confirmed, assigned to a developer, developer claims it's FIXED, and after that point someone says "no it's not" - this bug was never FIXED. Reopened wrong status.

Marking as UNCONFIRMED as we have no independent confirmation recently.

Also - this is not a critical bug. Lowering to Major, high. Please don't change it again.

Lastly, if you haven't already done so, please try with a fresh profile: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile

Thanks for your patience.

If I follow the steps from comment 5, sound doesn't play in slideshow either on Linux or Windows.

Opening the file from comment 0, Linux doesn't play the sound, a little click might be heard. Changing the sound doesn't help.
Windows plays it, if I change it to be some other sound.

Setting priority to highest as this is a MAB. This is part of an effort to make the importance of MAB reflected in priority too.

moving bug to mab4.3 list since 4.2.x is END OF LIFE and bug is still reproducible in newer releases
