Sound issue with Conversation interaction in Engage
Dec 12, 2017
Hello all,
I am building an online course using Powerpoint, Presenter 360, and Engage Interaction.
One of the interactions I am using with Engage Interaction is the Conversation interaction.
However, we have noticed an issue with overlapping audio using the conversation interaction - this occurs if the student presses Next to reach the next part of the conversation before it's done playing the current part..... the original audio continues playing, on top of the new audio, rather than simply skipping ahead to the new audio outright, which is what happens with all other Engage interactions in the course.
Is there an easy way to fix this?
Thanks!
James

Hi there James,
I appreciate you bringing this to our attention--I don't see that this has been reported yet! I created a quick test file in Engage 360, and sure enough, the audio overlaps if the user clicks the next button too quickly in the HTML5 output. The Flash output seems to be working normally.
I'm going to share this with my team so we can start looking at a solution. I'll keep you posted on any updates I receive.
Thanks again for letting us know what's going on, and I'm really sorry if it's causing you headaches.
Thanks Alyssa, would appreciate that. Happy holidays.
I am experiencing the same problem that James reported. Is there is a solution?
Regards,
Kevin
Hi Kevin,
It looks like this is still an open issue for Engage 360 interactions. Is that the version you're using?
Hi Kevin,
Sorry to hear that you've run into the same issue.
I do not have a solution to share at this time.
I wanted to share some information on how we define bugs and how we tackle them when they occur.
If you could share your Articulate Package, that would be helpful as we continue to test.
Hi, I am experiencing the same problem. It's been two years since reported by James. Is there is a solution now?
Hi Joanne!
Thanks for checking in! We are still investigating this bug where the conversation interaction overlaps in Engage 360. This bug has not made it onto our roadmap yet as we are prioritizing other features and fixes. We'll let you know when this bug is targeted for a fix!
We still want to help you with your project! Is it possible for you to share your Engage Interaction with us privately? If so, here's a secure upload link. We'll take a look to investigate a workaround!
Hi Lauren, I've sign a NDA so I can't send you the file. Thank you anyway. Please inform me if there is a fix to the bug.
