Hello Ruth,
Thanks for reaching out!
The best way to control when an audio file with play is through the use of a combination of triggers and variables. You can add a True/False variable to your course with a default value of false that your audio file will reference, and then use triggers to adjust this variable to prevent the audio file from playing by changing the variable's value to True. All this is done using the 'Play media' trigger.
I've included a sample project file so you can get a better idea of how this can be applied to an actual Storyline 360 course.
Let me know if you have any questions!
