Audio in Storyline 2 on an iPad
Feb 29, 2016

So, I remember when I used to use Storyline 1 and I had to make my first course to be viewed on an iPad. On each slide, I had multiple audio files, each taking up their own layer. It worked fine in the Flash output, but audio didn't work at all when viewing the HTML5 output on an iPad.
Since then, I've been combining audio files so that each slide only has one audio file.
I recently did a test doing the same thing with Storyline 2. I put multiple audio files onto one slide and published. Low and behold, it seems to be working fine now on an iPad.
Has anyone else noticed this? Was this something that was purposely fixed? Has anyone had any issues with doing this that I may not be aware of?
Thanks!

Hi Bob,
Storyline 2 included a number of updates and changes to how things were handled in HTML5 - so it's entirely possibly that what you were dealing with before is fixed. Did you have a case started with our Support team or a forum thread where you previously reached out for the SL1 issue? I'd be happy to take a look at that and determine if what you mentioned previously is resolved now in Storyline 2.
I never started a case for it. At the time, I just noticed that it didn't work, so I combined all the audio into one.
I may just have to go ahead and build one of our courses using separate audio files and see if I run into any unforeseen issues afterwards.
Thanks though.
No problem Bob - and if you want we're always happy to take a look at the .story file either here in the forums or by connect with our support team here.
