you don't need two trigger

initialize and play audio

if(document.getElementById('bgSong') === null){
  var audioFileName = "Jeopardy 3 Minute music Mixdown JHenry.mp3";
  var audioVolume = 0.05;

  var audioNode = document.createElement("audio");
  audioNode.id     = "bgSong";
  audioNode.type   = "audio/mp3";
  audioNode.src    = "story_content/audio_files/" + audioFileName;
  audioNode.volume = audioVolume;
  audioNode.loop   = false;
  audioNode.autoplay = true;
  document.body.appendChild(audioNode);

  var audio = document.getElementById('bgSong');
  audio.play();
}

i have reorganized the script a bit - so it should be more readable

stop audio

if(document.getElementById('bgSong') !== null){
   var audio = document.getElementById('bgSong');
   audio.pause();
   audio.currentTime = 0;
}

pause audio

if(document.getElementById('bgSong') !== null){
   var audio = document.getElementById('bgSong');
   audio.pause();
}

play audio

if(document.getElementById('bgSong') !== null){
   var audio = document.getElementById('bgSong');
   audio.play();
}
