How to increase the volume of sound files inserted in PowerPoint

Page 1

While converting PowerPoint presentations into Impatica files, a common problem that a lot of professors have faced is a degradation in the volume of the sound files associated with each slide. To counter this problem, we recommend that, to begin with, while recording the sound, you should raise the bar for your microphone settings. If however, this is insufficient, then you must raise the volume of each and every sound file manually.

There are various software programs which will allow you to do this, many of which are available for free download over the internet. For information and documentation on which program is best for your particular needs please contact us at advancedonline@jhu.edu or (410)516-6496.  Also, feel free to contact us if you already have a suitable audio editor but need assistance in manually adjusting the volume of your sound files. Since the specifics of this process are largely situation specific, we will deal such requests on a case by case basis.
