Audio missing if previous slide self advances

Has anyone run into this when publishing to review?

Slide 1 is a Title page, doesn't have audio, id set to self advance after 3 seconds.

Slide 2 images and animation start but no audio.

Slide 3 has a video which plays with audio.

If I navigate back from slide 3 to 2, the audio starts on slide 2.

If I remove the auto advance from slide 1, the audio starts on slide 2. 

In preview mode the audio works regardless.

  • This is expected behaviour the first slide of the course needs to be user instigated e.g. they press a button, this is the purpose of the play button if you have audio on the first slide.

    Not an Articulate limitation but one of modern browsers that you need to instigate media on a website.

     

    The fix is to either add media to the first slide and the play button will appear or to add a button for the user to press.
