How do I loop one audio clip throughout an entire project (slide, scenes, etc) in Storyline? I want the audio to loop through the entire presentation without pausing or restarting after a user clicks a button or moves to a new slide or scene. I just want the audio to continuously loop.
Unfortunately, there's no option for a continuous playlist at this time. I'd encourage you to use the feature request link Justin provided to add your input. Thanks!
a kludge is to create a Flash animation with the audio file so that it loops and place that on each slide. Not perfect but a work around if you want looping audio. It worked for me.
We don't actually support the modification of published output, but if this is a task you wish to take on - the least I could do is show you how to get to the file :)
I used to just get browsers as well, but you have to click for 'more' (Choose another app) to reach Notepad.
The option Omar provided is absolutely the way to go if you are trying to loop something on a single slide. But if you are wanting to loop audio throughout the entire course (i.e., background music) like Oswaldo was originally asking about, then you'll need to edit the published output. Pankaj brings up a relevant point, though - you'll have to make this script edit every time you publish or update, and manually reinsert the audio file in the published content folder.
I am developing a course for a client and she asks me to sound a LOOP throughout the course, except for the first slide and it is an intro and has its own sound and the last slide has its own sound ... now, the file. what he gave me is a 7-second mp3 and he wants the whole course to be repeated ... and that within the course there is a button to pause / play music since it is independent from the voice of a narrator that sounds on each slide.

Hi Oswaldo. That isn't currently possible. You might want to submit a feature request for that.
Can you just play the same audio clip over more than one slide - no looping required? I can't find a tutorial for that.

Thanks for sharing Michael.
Oswaldo, if you're comfortable editing story.html, then there is a solution. Use Notepad to add the following javascript code:
<audio src="background.mp3" preload="auto" autoplay loop>
</audio>
Replace background.mp3 with the name of your audio file. Finally, place the audio file within published file package.
Thanks for popping in to share Travis!

Thanks Omar for popping in to share a solution that was able to assist you.
Hello,
I published using Web and when I go to "open with" the only 2 options are Chrome or Explorer. What am I missing?
Hey Rhonda,

I do not have a "more" option. Just chrome and explorer.
Hi Rhonda, adding the script in published output is not recommended as you have to do it everytime you publish the content.
try using option provided by Omar

Hi Rhonda - Sounds like a computer setting, perhaps your IT team can assist with that.
Looks like Pankaj has shared an alternative solution to assist as well :)

I tried this in 360 and unfortunately it didn't work.
