I have some great news to share. We just released another update for Storyline 360. In Update 74, we've included important fixes and new features.

Thanks for checking in, Elizabeth! While there isn't a feature for adding audio over multiple slides, we do realize it's a popular request! If we add this feature to Storyline in the future, we'll be sure to share the news with you.

Hi Alyssa Gomez, I spent the last couple of days + overtime working on this problem. The issue is that most of the javascripts/html solutions suggested here works beautifully on the PC and Android but not on the iPhone. According to https://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/wa-ioshtml5/ the iOS allows only a single audio at a time. And the volume cannot be controled from Javascript. In my testing I can get Javascript initiated from a lightbox but not inside an active slide with other audio activities :(. This seems like a problem with Apple ... not something that Articulate can fix easily. At any rate ... I got the best result by (1) using short looping audio in all slides (2) Using sox (Ubuntu) to normalize all *.wav and *.mp3 audios and ffmpeg (+sox) to normalize all audios in mp4 files. (3) Then use so to to generate a normalized - 18dB versions for the background sound.
