Audio doesn't play through to the end of the timeline

Jun 24, 2014

I'm working on a course that has some slides with long audio files with multiple timeline events (graphics & text fading in and out) on several slides.

With some of the slides, it works perfectly when I preview the slide. When I preview the scene everything is good until the last few seconds of the slide, then the audio cuts off and it jumps to the next slide.

I've never had this before - any idea what could be causing it and how to fix it?

Hi Claudia,

Without seeing your slides it's just a guess - but are the slides set to automatically advance or advance by user? If they're set to automatically advance (either within the slide properties or on the triggers set to jump to next slide when the timeline of an element ends) it could be advancing before the audio finishes playing. You may want to look at extending the overall slide timeline length to allow for a few extra seconds of "dead" air which would let the audio finish playing.
