You can easily Insert Images and Video into a slides presentation but if you want to add an AUDIO file, there's an extra step.

You have to use a seperate program to record audio, upload it to the drive, the INSERT --> Audio

For an Internet based program, try: Cloud Audio Recorder

REMEMBER: Change Permissions on the Audio Clip in your DRIVE to anyone can Access it. By mid-August, you can expect Slides to automatically check file permission access in a new update.
