Appreciate quick help on this. I'm using the player's next and prev buttons, but if a learner clicks "back" more than once (i.e. going back 2 slides), the narration / audio doesn't play.
Edited to add: Audio sometimes doesn't play when I navigate to the first slide of the lesson by clicking on it from the menu OR clicking back.
This sounds to me very much like network lag rather than a Storyline issue. Does the same thing happen when you are viewing the course when it is stored locally?
Hi Maya, check the player properties on your slides and try changing the When revisiting option to "Reset to Initial State" The default for this setting is "Automatically Decide" which sometimes causes Storyline to decide not to play the audio.
I figured I need to set *all* slides' properties to: Advance by user and reset to initial state, but the default is always this...
Is there a way to set this up as a global setting so that each new slide has default settings as I need them to be? I've been going slide by slide by slide and changing this. And I have a LOT of slides in my course :-)
I asked this question a few months bock. It seems that some may be able to do a blanket settings change from the menu located in the same place as the slide menu, only when you are looking at the story view.
That didnt work for me and I had to click on each slide once in story view then use the slide menu in the bottom right.

THANK YOU!
It was the "reset to initial state" that did the trick!! I am working locally BTW so I figured it was some kind of setting, not a network issue.
You guys are the best!
Thanks for the update Maya and glad Nancy and Terry were able to assist.
Hi again,

Thanks, I will give it a try. Got nothing to lose if it doesn't work.
Here's a feature request for the Articulate gang! Blanket default slide settings for the project/scene :-)
Hi Maya,
You can select more than one slide in story view and adjust the properties for multiple slides there. You can read more about adjusting the slide properties here. And we love feature requests and they're best shared here with our product development team.
