Adjust the size of the audio block play button?
I'm just adding my two cents' to this discussion. I've had the same feedback from my clients. I currently have to put a large heading in the block above (AUDIO (click the arrow ► below to play) but it's not an ideal solution. I agree that users with vision problems and/or low technical skills may find it challenging to find the play button. I hope this will become a feature we can change soon!
Cat - my workaround was to create a Storyline "player" for my audio files which I then embedded into the course (see image below).
The build is simple - the play button area has a hotspot over it which plays the audio track when clicked. It also shows a new layer (a duplicate of the base but with a pause button instead of a play button). When that layer's hotspot is clicked, it pauses the audio and hides that layer so the base layer/play button appears. You can toggle between play/pause like any audio player.
Here's a screenshot of the player in line with other content. The client was very happy with it.
I hope this helps others!

Logan - thank you! That's an even better workaround than what I have! I think I'll do that instead!
Nice! Be sure to set your Storyline project size to something smaller to avoid it being too large! For reference, I set mine to 400 wide x 100 tall and that was a nice fit to match the Rise blocks.
Good point about the project size. Going to play on Storyline now (sure beats editing content which is what I'm working on now :-D).
