Audio files won't play in Storyline 360

I am experiencing the same issue with a couple of different projects.  Audio won't play while in development mode.  I can record, directly in to Storyline but cannot hear what was recorded.  

Hi Elena,

This discussion is a bit older, and it doesn't appear we heard any more details from Anne. 

Could you share more about: 

- what version and update of Storyline you're using? You can check by going to the "Help" Tab -> "About Articulate Storyline."

- did you test out any of the suggestions Matthew already made? 

- are you only having audio issues with audio recorded in Storyline? What about any audio added from an MP3?

- have you checked that you're following along with the best practices outlined here to prevent any odd behavior ultimately leading to corruption? 

Let me know when you're able to share the details above, and we'll be here for continued troubleshooting! 

Thanks for getting back to me,

I'm using Storyline 360 v.3.26.1861.0. I am unable to review any .mp3 or .wav files regardless if I record in storyline or import from files.

I can hear the audio without a problem directly from the media library and tried to import from there, still doesn't work. I've also tried to uninstall and reinstall Articulate 360 and Storyline a couple of times.

This issue has been causing significant delays due to the time it is taking to synch audio - I have to use the 'best guess' approach.

Thanks,
Elena

Thanks for those details, Elena. That sounds really frustrating. I see that you had a case open with Richard on my team. I've asked our support team to have another look so we can continue working with you!

I found the issue, the setting on my audio mixer was muted for storyline. I’m all set now. Thanks!
