We are missing something I think. It appears that audio should play on the base layer and continue playing when other layers are triggered to display, but ours stops playing. We are using a shape on the timeline to display a new layer based on when timeline starts on the shape. We need the base audio, which is narration, to continue playing to the end of the slide.
click the gear icon on your layer. That will open a dialog box with options of how that layer interacts with the base layer. Sounds like you have the base layer paused when said layer is displayed.
Thanks Bruce! We didn't have the pause base layer checked, but what we did have was the "Hide objects on base layer" turned on. This was apparently "hiding" the audio! Thanks for the response. It led us to investigate a little more and find the culprit setting.
I have a similar issue. I created a button with a variable to show a CC (closed caption or transcript) layer when the user clicks on the icon on the base layer (the button is on top of the icon). The audio and images on a second layer - titled "Welcome", not the base layer, stops playing when the CC button is clicked and the CC layer appears. This also happens when I click any of the buttons that I created when the "Welcome" layer is playing.
I am still learning new tricks in Storyline and this may be an easy fix. Any suggestions?

Hi,
This should all work fine - have you got the Base Layer set to continue? (see below)
