Does the replay button not work for audio in HTML5. If the audio does not finish playing and you click replay it will start over, but if it finishes playing and you click replay the timeline will start over and the audio does not play.
I found that you need to place the audio file on the timeline at about .75 seconds and have about 1/2 a second of silence at the beginning. Then if you click Replay the audio file will replay.
Thanks for sharing that here, and it's also important to note that the rewind behavior is controlled by the slide's revisiting properties as described here.
I have many slides (slides with interactions only apparently) where the rewind button doesn't work, or replay the sound from a layer. And yes, my slide settings are "resume from initial state". It is the same if I test in HTML or HTML5.
I have attached 2 slides from the course. On the first slide you will see that the audio for the second answer doesn't play after we refresh the screen once or twice, whereas the correct audio will always play. On the second slide you will note that the rewind button replays the audio from the correct layer only.
I have several other glitches like these. Will appreciate any help on this. I need to tell my client if it is a bug or I need to fix it if I did something wrong.
I also found another issue: the correct answer of a fill in the blank screen is "12 Smith Road". I didn't tick the case sensitive box. The correct audio layer will play if I type "12 smith road" but not if we type "12 Smith Road". This is insane! The audio of the slide won't replay if we rewind and we can't type the answer anymore if we rewind (we can if we click next or previous and come back to the screen, which is set to "resume initial state". Help!
For the first and secondslide, when the audio isn't replaying I'd set it to "reset to initial state" so that each time the layer is treating it as if you're viewing it for the first time and then replaying it. Automatically decide leaves it up to Storyline to decide, and it may not always decide what you think it should. :-)
Also it's worth noting the rewind button will work as described here.
In regards to your fill in the blank- I didn't see that one slide included in this example? Do you have another .story file to share?
My slides are all set to "reset to initial state", as you can see in the Storyline file attached. It works fine when we navigate using the next and previous buttons, but the rewind button systematically bugs.
OK, I see! It solved one of the slides, the first, but the other is still not working (see attached). It rewinds the layer, not the slide, so we hear the layer audio instead of the slide audio.

Hi Helena,

Hi Ashley, thank you for your reply.

Hi Helena,
Sorry - I was referring to the slide layers and their revisiting properties.
Hi again
OK, I see! It solved one of the slides, the first, but the other is still not working (see attached). It rewinds the layer, not the slide, so we hear the layer audio instead of the slide audio.
I may have found a way around! If I deselect "pause timeline in base layer" in each layer, it works.
Hi Helene,
Glad you were able to get this working - and yes, if you pause the timeline of the base layer, then only the individual slide layer will restart.
