Problems with the audio

Aug 24, 2020

Hi everyone,

I'm a new Storyline user and I'm building en e-learning project and I have a problem with the audio. I tried to put an audio in a button that when someone clik on it it makes the audio on but the audio is playing automatically by itself... I don't understand why... 

Thank you for your answer.

Hi, Mel.

The audio plays automatically because it starts playing whenever it appears on the timeline.

Here's one way to do what you want:

  • Add a layer to the slide.
    • Put the audio on the layer. 
    • Set the Layer Properties to "Reset to initial state" when revisiting.
    • Add a trigger to the layer that hides the layer when its timeline ends.
    • If you the want the user to be able to temporarily pause and then restart the audio, add buttons for that on the layer. 
  • For your "Play Audio" button on the base, use a trigger that shows the layer with the audio. 
    • This will show the layer and, thus, start its timeline, which will play the audio.
