Play / Record Sound
Play and record sound files used to accompany slides.  Sound files serve as an accompaniment or background to the show slides. They can be music, voice or any kind of wave file supported by the native sound card.  If the sound card has recording capability then speech or music can be recorded to use in shows.

Note: A sound card and supporting hardware must be installed for the sound feature to work.
