Project Slideshow in Photos won’t play song

I have created a slideshow, downloaded a song I want to use, and can select it (the song) but no sound plays when I preview or play the slideshow.


i can hear it play when I select a different song, but I need to figure out how to get this specific song to work.

Worst case, you should be able to play the file in Apple Music, and make a new recording of it using Quick time. I would expect this then to be playable in Photos.

You might want to turn off Atmos in Apple Music preferences before playing/recording it, if you have a device that supports it.
