Audio clips come in so many file types: MP3, WMA, or WAV files are just the common types that you can insert in PowerPoint slides. These audio files automatically embed into your presentation. Even then, it is a good practice to keep your audio files in the same folder in which you save your presentation even before you insert them.
As far as possible, work with a presentation that’s saved at least once. Also, do explore our PowerPoint Friendly Audio Formats page to understand which common and exotic audio file types you can insert in your PowerPoint slides.
