SOLVED: I can record directly into PTE audio but I have to unplug my USB microphone to hear play back. (Blue Yeti mike if that matters) Is there a setting to recognise the playback?

I have just completed my first AV project, but got stuck with controlling the sound of an inserted video clip. I couldn't seem to find a way to fade and control the level of the clip to match it into the other parts of the slideshow. Can anyone point me in the right direction for achieving this please.

I have a nine minute PTE that runs fine as .exe file. When I try to publish as .mp4, the encoding meter stops at 99.9% and "remaining time" stops at 3 or 4 seconds, and the elapsed time keeps going until I give up (several tries). When I terminate PTE program, I can find the attempted .mp4 file, but it is very reluctant to play, even with several different video players that I normally use. If I get the troubled .mp4 to play, the sound is not complete. The presentation contains audio tracks added as .mp3 files, and the sound tracks of the videos that are slides in the PTE project. The mp3 tracks play properly, but the video tracks are not heard at all. It seems that the video sound may be what is causing the PTE video encoding to fail? Additional background: I had first made this PTE presentation in 2011. I was very glad to find my 2011 template, which allowed me today to make very minor edits on a coupld of still images, and I ran the PTE converter on the videos. All of which resulted in a very smooth running .exe, but will not produce the .mp4 file I need to share with the world. I think there has been similar problems posted in the past, but I can not find any in searching this forum today. This project is more urgent than most for me and I quick solution would be so appreciated!

Not much of a user of the forum, though a very intensive user of PTE nowadays, I hope I'm in the right area! I find the facility which links a sound file to a slide very helpful when things get complex, as they are doing with me now. Without it things would soon go hopelessly out of synch! I'd like to suggest (I think I've mentioned it before) a simple change to the number (light blue on a white square) which appears on the sound file when it's linked to a slide. Could it please be in a more conspicuous colour (I would suggest white out of red as a good visible combination.) In parallel with this, could I suggest a warning message when you remove a slide from the timeline, to flag up that there's one or more sound files linked to it. I have often lost bits of my soundtracks because I failed to notice that the sound had disappeared along with the picture!

I have a sound problem and don't know how to solve it. Only recently I purchased PTE version 9.0.8. I created a wonderful slideshow with it and put music (mp3-files) in it. When I publish it to exe all works fine (till the end of the slideshow). But when I publish it to mp4 (and AVI), the sound works fine in the beginning but after about 10 minutes or so the sound totally stops suddenly but de slideshow goes on (till the end). For your information: I have created a slideshow with 1142 slides and with a duration of about 77 minutes. I publish it with a quality of 1920x1080 pixel and on highest quality and standard quality. I already tried a lot of different ways to publish it but the problem keeps existing. Does anyone at this forum knows a solution?
