Background Audio Cool Trick

I tried the same thing but it didnt work. Please let us know if there is a browser or version issue. Of if you can give us working storyline published output. I tried the attachments given in the post. but its not working for me. Please help!!  

The JavaScript solution still works for me (unless you need this to work on smart phone).

See example file in Rise with StoryLine Block, code and instructions:

Hey Owen,

Thanks for the instructions (and I love that you created it as a walk-thru using Rise)!

I actually worked with Math Notermans (from Sweden!) to get it working.  And using his steps, I created my own "How To" document which I'm attaching here for anyone who needs it.  I haven't compared it to your steps yet to see if they're the same, but my course is up and running! :-) WOOT!

Oh - and mine is published to an LMS and it DOES work on a mobile device! 

Great documentation. The added steps in your pdf are showing how to use a web object as a sort of StoryLine Asset Briefcase. This is a trick I've used many times and find incredibly useful.
I actually learned about it in this thread over 4 years ago! LOL

Owen,

Thanks for taking a look at this. I GREATLY appreciate it.

It plays fine for me in both I.E. and Edge bit not in Chrome. I would need to see your source .story file to trouble shoot this.

Hello

I am developing a course for a client and she asks me to sound a LOOP throughout the course, except for the first slide and it is an intro and has its own sound and the last slide has its own sound ... now, the file. what he gave me is a 7-second mp3 and he wants the whole course to be repeated ... and that within the course there is a button to pause / play music since it is independent from the voice of a narrator that sounds on each slide.

Hi Guys, thank you for the clear instructions. 
Unfortunately, for me, it works only on Microsoft Edge, but my learners use mostly chrome and there the audio file doesn't work.
Any suggestion?

Thank you!

When you say "it doesn't work", could you be more specific? There are multiple solutions in this thread so it would be helpful to know which one you tried. Also, which version of I.E. are your learners most likely using? Additionally, which version of StoryLine are you using?  Did you try the instructions here: https://rise.articulate.com/share/HO9-VvSOZZdjXn5Ga0-a-BFDcYZQYcbr ?

Are you trying to replicate this exact sample? There is a LOT of custom work modifying the player. If this is one of the client's samples, the best place to start would be with the .story file and the published output. Chances are, there is a custom CSS document or post publish customizations made to the generated css documents.

Owen,

Thanks for responding. I tried the instructions in this post with no luck. The end user is using Edge for the browser and I am using Storyline 360.

Can you share your .story file here for me to take a look under the hood?

Here you go sir

It might be the firewall here but that zip looks empty.

I get zero bytes as well, Owen.

Owen and Leslie,

Let me try this again...

That is the published content. I need to see the StoryLine file. It should end with the file extension ".story"

Here it is sir

I added that file to the thread

I think I misunderstood your request. I don't see JavaScript being executed at all in your file. I'm not the expert at manually adding the code outlined in this thread (and I'm not a fan of it either... lol) so I couldn't really say what is going wrong in your post publishing production. If you want to try the JavaScript method, let me know. If you are using it and I'm just not seeing it, point me to where it is located in your file.

Owen,

Here is the .story file for my project using the Java Script method. Please take a look. Thank you sir.

Owen,

Sorry I didn't reply to your direct question. Here is the .story file with the Java Script method.

Thanks for this great tip!

I did have to add it to the index_lms.html in order for the audio to play in our LMS. The story.html wasn't working.
