Windows 10: MS Powerpoint messes up audio length added to slides

Microsoft buggy applications can be extremely frustrating to use at times.I am trying to put together a presentation that will have automatically advancing slides along with a different sound track with 10 seconds each.There are 57 slides, so I had to manually insert 57 pre-trimmed to 10 seconds audio tracks to each one of the 57 slides. That took me a really long time to do, counting on incompetent Microsoft's ability to create software that actually works, which is a tall order.I am fuming after Powerpoint messed up all the slides. Despite I trimmed each audio track to 10 seconds outside of

PowerPoint: adding an audio background to a screen recording slide.

I would like to add various screen recording slides to my powerpoint presentation.

I would like to add background music to the screen recording slide.

I would like to add different music to each screen recording slide.

I would like the screen recording to begin automatically when the slide opens.

I would like the screen recording slide to automatically advance to the next slide when the screen recording ends.

I would like the music to stop when the screen recording ends.

It would be nice if the music would fade out at the end of the screen recording instead of stopping abruptly.

I have created my screen recording slides and they begin automatically.

The only way I found to advance to the next slide was to use the transitions slide and select advance slide after a certain period of time.

I was able to insert an audio clip and get it to start when the screen recording begins playing, but, it does not stop when the screen recording ends and the slide advances to the next slide. The music keeps playing.

I selected 'play in the background'.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Jan

Loop PowerPoint - Skip First Slide

Sending narrated PowerPoint as email attachment. First slide explains that Slide Show should be viewed on a desktop or laptop, with audio on. How can I set up Slide Show to NOT show 1st slide again, but go to 2nd slide when looping?

Thank you,
