I had this happen today with Connect ver. 7. Here's how I solved the problem:
Yep; it was time consuming, but better than losing hours of recording with several people!

Granted, when faced with the possibility of having to reimport all your audio can be a total pain, there's another way to approach this that can be much, much easier.
Here's how:
Open the Import Audio dialog box using Presenter's menu in PowerPoint. Select your first slide listed in the panel and then click on the BROWSE button. Once you find the audio files that you'll use for your course, all you have to do is select them all! As soon as you click "okay" or "open", the net result will be that your files will all appear in the Import Audio dialog box in sequential order.
Okay, so it'll work, but let's talk about a couple of caveats, shall we?
First, it should be obvious that the naming convention of your audio files is EXTREMELY important. For most projects, the naming convention that I use looks like this:
clientName_projectName_slide#_.wav or put another way: rc_devPlan_slide31.wav
It doesn't matter if you use 01.wav, 02.wav, 03.wav or slide01.wav, slide02.wav, ect. Just be consistent!
Second, if you have question slides peppered throughout your deck, you may not want (or need) audio for question slides. So how do you import multiple audio files for slides that are scattered in a deck?
Easy: just select the starting slide that you want to import audio and select the audio you need for that set....then select the next slide (in a series of slides) that you need to import audio for, and select as many wav or mp3 files you need to import in the next batch.
To help make this a bit easier, I just recorded a screencast that outlines the process, and you can see the video at

Rob, thanks for the worksound -- it saved me some anguish. However, it was time-consuming and very annoying.
I'm trying to create several hour-long recorded presentations and I find that Presenter deletes my audio files quite frequently, and for no apparent reason. If anyone from Adobe is reading this, I'd like to know if this problem is being addressed. I'm currenlty using a free trial version of Presenter and it's a great product -- in theory. If the reality of using it matched the advertised capabilities, I'd be buying several copies and recommending it to my colleagues. As it currently stands, I'm advising people to stay well away from it!

I was experiencing this problem. Turned out I was not enabling the Macros in the PPT. Hope this helps someone.
