Storyline Audio at Start

Instead of inserting the audio, create a trigger that plays the audio from file.

Thanks. Would that trigger have to be on every slide though?

It would have to be on every slide you wanted to have that interaction.  If you had this type of interaction on every slide, you could make it easier by copying and pasting the trigger, and then just change the specifics in the trigger window.

It would be less effort to just include volume controls and instruct the users to turn the volume all the way down if they don't want it on.  The effort involved in adjusting the triggers on every slide seems like overkill when it is so simple to turn the volume down if desired.

The only possible issue I could see with instructing the learner to turn the volume down, and I have no idea if this applies here, is that it limits the use of all sounds, not just the narration. I would say that if you are not using any other sounds, Josh's solution is the simplest.

Just realized I made a rather large assumption that your audio refers to narration.

Not sure if it would work or not (too early on a Saturday morning here...) but you could try a Trigger on every slide that just says "Stop Media > Sound 1 > When > Timeline starts on this slide".   and have a button that plays it if they click.

That is assuming that you have not renamed the sound files.

Might even be able to put it onto the Slide Master.

Hope that helps.

Hi Yvonne! Looks like you are getting a lot of assistance here, just let us know if any of these suggestions work for you and if you need anything further.

Thanks. I really only want the audio for accessible reasons; it is not really needed at all. So going to go with triggers if they want it.

Well thanks for the update Yvonne Glad you were able to get some assistance here.
