Music onto PowerPoint

I am struggling to add music onto a powerpoint! I have followed all steps shown on the internet but I get the error message

“PowerPoint can not insert audio from selected file. Verify the path and file format are correct then try again”

I see that someone has already asked about this but no answer was helpful.

so if someone could help that would be brilliant!

Keynote song from Music stops in the middle of the same slide. Hi. I want to add two songs to my Keynote presentation to play over two different sections of my presentation, which is about 35 slides. Each slide duration is 5 seconds, and set to run automatically. I added the first song untrimmed from Music for the first section, but the songs fades out and stops 2 seconds into the second slide. I tried a different song from Music and it stops at the same spot in the second slide. I work with a copy of the original presentation because I don't want to screw up the original file until I can get the music to work. I have reviewed all of the attached settings and I am playing the songs untrimmed. I'm at a loss as to why this keeps happening. I appreciate all replies. Ventura 13.2.1 Keynote 12.2.1 Bro

Can't play my own downloaded (non-DRM) music in Slideshow Project I've selected photos for a slideshow project and am trying to choose my own music to play during the slideshow. I'm using songs that I copied from a CD and imported into Apple Music, so they're not DRM-protected, and they appear bold which seems to be the indication that they can be used. When I click on them they select properly and a check appears next to each selected song. The drop-down for Music / Theme Songs is set to 'Music'. Yet when I start the slideshow, it only plays the standard Apple theme song rather than my own music. Any help appreciated.

Maybe a question for the Microsoft Product Help Communities.

I would also look in the PowerPoint Help Menu for Add Media or sound or audio.
