Cannot hear audio on a presentation created on Powerpoint, but being played on Keynote.

We have a MAC OS X 10.9.3. We have Keynote on our computer. When I download a Powerpoint created by my college professor and play it on Keynote, I cannot hear the audio narration. I have researched this issue on the internet and cannot find a solution. Does anyone have any experience with this?

OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)

This depends on which version of PowerPoint created the file, and whether its a Mac or Windows version.

We deal with twelve different versions of PowerPoint coming in from clients, quite a nightmare.


A work around is to use PowerPoint for Mac (obviously), Open Office or Libra Office to obtain the sound file and copy that into Keynote or to save the file in a newer version of PowerPoint so that it can be opened in Keynote.
