I have downloaded a Powerpoint template from the internet.

When I play the slides, a piece of audio plays automatically everytime a new slide comes on. I am struggling to find the option to edit this. I am not sure whether I want to edit this background audio or remove it altogether.

Can anybody help me find these options please? I am not pressing a button for the audio to play, it is automatic.

Delete a music clip or another sound in PowerPoint

To delete a music clip or another sound in PowerPoint, do the following:

  • Locate the slide that contains the sound that you want to delete.

  • In Normal view, click the sound icon Audio clip icon or CD icon Icon, and then press Delete.

To re-add an audio clip, see Add or delete audio in your PowerPoint presentation.

The link above explains how you can edit existing audio including transitions that happen when you change slides.

  • This is the issue, there is no audio clip icon to delete. It is a blank side, but when you play it it plays a sound, as if the audio is embedded in the slide somehow. – al_sweets Dec 21 '17 at 21:54
  • @al_sweets Did you try the instructions in the quoted link? https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Add-or-delete-audio-in-your-PowerPoint-presentation-c3b2a9fd-2547-41d9-9182-3dfaa58f1316 – DavidPostill Dec 22 '17 at 06:05
  • The sound might be included as part of a transition, in which case there won't be an icon. Go to the slide that plays the sound, click the Transitions tab and check to see if anything's listed next to "Sound:" in the Timing group. – Steve Rindsberg Dec 23 '17 at 17:36
