Problem with audio playing on Quiz Review

Hi Tim,

This article should help you set it up so that the audio doesn't play while in Review mode - you could follow the same steps to make a second audio track play when you are in Review mode. 

Cool, thanks.

Whoops, just noticed this link goes to Storyline. I'm not using Storyline. The quiz will go in a PowerPoint file by way of Presenter. I don't see these variable controls in Quizmaker.

Hi Tim,

My apologies - it's not something that you could do in Quizmaker (which is why I assumed it was Storyline you were working in). You can always submit a feature request to have that functionality. 

Hi Tim,

Were you able to find a work around for this issue?  I'm having the same thing going on and I haven't seen an update to Quizmaker yet.

Thanks!

Hi Darrin!

This thread is a bit dated and I'm not sure if Tim reached a resolution or if he is still subscribed to this thread.

You are welcome to reach out to him directly via the 'Contact Me' option on his user profile.

I took a look at this functionality and I only see an issue if the audio on the question slide does not complete. Then, it wants to finish during the quiz review. 

Yes, and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a fix for Quizmaker, although you can go into storyline and create a variable to cut off the audio.

Thanks!  I will try contacting Tim through the 'Contact me' option!

Darrin,

For the life of me, I can't remember if or how I resolved the issue. I'm not even sure what I was working on when I encountered the issue. The only quiz I can find from around that time isn't constructed like the one in my original post. We've been using Storyline for more than a year, so I haven't used Studio's Quizmaker for some time.

Tim,

Thanks for responding.  We didn't seem to have this problem in Articulate 9, and we were upgraded before any testing could be done.  Perhaps we should make the move to Storyline as well.....

I'm in SL 360. I was successful in pausing audio during quiz review, but now I want the base layer audio to play again when retrying the quiz - it is not. The audio plays on the correct and incorrect layers when retrying the quiz, and that is OK. I should also mention that I've set the base layer quiz questions to "initial state" so that the correct and incorrect bar at the bottom during review is always set to incorrect. I don't want to show which they got right. I also unchecked "show correct/incorrect answers when reviewing."

Hi Ann!

It sounds like you want the audio to replay on each quiz slide once the user clicks the Retry Quiz button, is that correct?

Would you mind sharing your file so we can see what you have set up so far? 

I had a slightly different problem in that I have some transition animations at beginning of each quiz slide so the original solution was stopping the timeline on the slide before anything had appeared on it.

Here's how I solved it:

I put the audio on a separate layer for each quiz question slide.

On each quiz slide I put a trigger to show the audio layer when the timeline started so the when the user went through the quiz the first time the audio simply played.

On the Results slide I put a trigger to change a variable value (I created/used ReviewMode as per the original article shared above). I changed the value of ReviewMode from 0 to 1 when the timeline started on the review slide.

On each quiz slide I put a trigger after/below the trigger that showed the audio layer that checked the value of the ReviewMode variable and hid the audio layer if the value of ReviewMode was = to 1.

On review the audio does not play.

Best, Steve

Thanks, Steve for sharing that method and solution here! I hope it helps someone else who comes across this discussion. 

Cheers Ashley!
