Adjust the size of the audio block play button?
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).
This workaround fails if the user is on their mobile device. Then when they click it, it pops out as its own individual thing with an 'X' you have to click to exit the view and continue the course. Do you have any workarounds for mobile users?
