Hi Sinchu,

Probably not exactly what you're hoping for (which would require some work), but just wanted to share a couple links that you may find helpful:

Here's how you can create a custom toggle button to play and pause a video or an audio track in Storyline. Should give you some ideas. 

And here's Steve's custom mute toggle.

Thanks Peter, yes i have gone through this link before , play pause i did through with help of blank layer but it wont pause the pop up audios. its only pause the base layer. :-( there is so much limitations in Storyline,:-( and about audioits only support in pc, it wont support in iPad, i mean audio mute function. :-(

Hello Issa! Thanks for the additional details. Do you experience the same issue if you test the content in SCORM Cloud or is the issue within your LMS? This thread has a similar conversation that may be able to assist you as well.

I like this method as well.
