I have a presentation concerning human hearing that involves playing many
short .wav files.
After playing 5 or 6 sounds, PowerPoint fails to respond when clicking on
the loudspeaker icon. If I try to play the wav files while editing the
presentation, I get the message:
'All wave devices that can play files in the current format are in use.
Wait until a wave device is free, and then try again'
Later (much later) the sound can be played, suggesting that the message is
telling the truth. Unfortunately the delay is too slow to allow the lecture
to continue.
Is there anything I can do?
I have restarted my computer and can confirm that the same effect is seen
when PowerPoint is the only application.
