Audio over multiple slides in Storyline
I know that in Articulate Storyline you have to break up your audio by slide. I have some music I'd like to play over multiple slides. When I break up the music by slide though there seems to be a half second delay between slides which makes the music sound choppy, Is there any fix for this? I welcome any and all ideas
Hi everyone!
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.
One of the new features we've included is:
- Create immersive experiences with continuous background audio that sets the tone and keeps learners engaged.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You'll find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let me know if you have questions!

Quick question, however I am afraid I know the answer. Have there been any product updates on this feature that do not include needing Articulate Presenter or needing to know JS & HTML? This discussion has been going on for over 3 years. Captivate could do this as a standard feature in 2011 (Cap 5), PowerPoint (2007 et al.) can do this.
Any updates?
Hi Brian,
There isn't a change to this behavior in Storyline, so you'd still need to use the Javascript methods or look to using Studio'13 and the Presenter playlist feature.

Aanything new on this topic? I am looking to add audio across all of my slides.
Thanks!

One way I dealt with this was to use layers to have multiple "slides" all on one slide. It definitely can get tricky and requires the use of way more triggers, but it did the trick.
Here's a point-and-click exploration I created that gives you an idea. I only used three actual slides, with a looping audio file for each:
Thanks for popping in to share your findings as well Wade :)

I just had the same issue and I realized background sound will break when moving to the next slide. Hope Articulate team considers that for future improvement in updates.
Hi Roland,
You may want to take a look at this forum discussion with a really great trick on adding Background audio within Storyline.
