Audio will not play in Chrome

Hi there, Matney!

Thanks for the opportunity to test your file!

I used Storyline 360 Update 42 to publish the content to Review 360. I'm having trouble recreating any issues with the audio there and in Rise 360.

• Here's the Review 360 URL | The Rise 360 Share link | The content housed in SCORM Cloud

To make sure we head down the right path, could you help me with these details?

• Which Storyline 360 update are you using?
• Which version of Chrome are you using? I used Chrome 84 in my test.
• How does the sound work in my published links?

I am also having this issue: my audio file is not playing without click in chrome browser.

I've updated Articulate and Storyline. I have downloaded Articlate Updated and checked all files. I have the updated version of Chrome. Please help. 

This is the audio file that I am incorporating into a Rise course. 

The user has to initiate the audio so they must click a button for the audio to play, using an automatic transition will cause problems.

Katie,

Sorry for my delayed response.  I was using Chrome version 84.0.4147.105 and Storyline version 3.41.22509.0. I went ahead and updated my Storyline 360 to version 3.42 and am still experiencing the audio problem. There was no audio when I used Chrome and your Review 360 link.  When I open it in Firefox, I am able to get audio.

I have found a few more articles about this and I think Phil is correct. I probably need to add a button for the user to initiate the audio and not an automatic slide transition.  I was hoping to find a workaround to this, but it looks like Chrome does not like the automatic audio transitions.

Thanks,

Matney
