I've produced a course in storyline (v1) and have been asked if there's a way the user can disable the audio if they dont want it (throughout the entire course, on videos aswell, etc...).
is it possible to display a button at the beginning of a course that when clicked would so such a thing? or would it be a case of adding a variable (eg. SoundOn=true/false) which gets set when the button is clicked and then add a trigger on each page to deal with the audio? (this wouldn't work for the video though i guess)
There are a few options for globally adjusting audio within the player. However, I find it's easiest to allow folks direct control using one of the built in methods:
The volume slider (when shown) in the bottom navigation bar applies to the entire course.
The volume selector within Windows or Mac will set the volume for the entire system.
The volume knob on many headphone sets and speakers will also provide direct control over volume.
Going another route, there's a Flash widget in the forums that will mute audio for you. This is a use at your own risk item and might have unforeseen consequences. In that same thread there are some suggestions for muting in HTML5.
It looks like Steve has you covered here - and I just wanted to provide a link to information about the player and how you can enable the volume button.

Hi Ashley,

Thanks for the help.
