Audio on States - is there a way to stop it

A simple way to control multiple audio clips is to put each one on its own layer. When a trigger shows one layer, the default setting in Slide Layer Properties is to hide other layers. That "turns off" the audio on the hidden layer.

But, is there a way to do it with the states?   If I have to rewrite the whole slide I will but would much rather just add something to what's already there if it is possible. 

Thank you -

Try creating a T/F variable called togAudioPauseAll.

Then create an Execute JavaScript trigger and inserting the following code:

const audioList = document.querySelectorAll("audio");

for (let i = 0; i < audioList.length; i++) { audioList[i].pause(); }

Set this trigger to fire when togAudioPauseAll changes.

Whenever the user clicks a new box/button/whatever, use an Adjust Variable trigger to toggle togAudioPauseAll.

This should stop all playing audio on the slide. Doing this before playing another audio clip lets you kill whatever audio is playing before the new one starts. It avoids having to create a bunch of individual triggers.

I ran into this recently when creating a training, and the way I got the audio to stop was to do a trigger to "Stop Media" when "User Clicks" and that seemed to resolve it pretty simply.
