Layer Audio Stops Playing
I have a slide with one base layer and six other layers. Each slide has an audio track. When one selects the trigger to play the audio on one of the six other layers. The audio starts playing and then stops (about one quarter of the way through the track). What am I doing wrong? (slide 1.1 in the file)
Between Luciana's fixes and one other's suggestions, it works. Thanks for your response, though!

Sorry, I wrote "Each slide has an audio track." I meant "each LAYER."
Hi JanetGuastav914,
Thanks for reaching out! I took a look at your file and experienced the same behavior. Here is what I noticed:
1. When looking at the triggers panel in each layer, you will want to disable the Pause timeline and Resume Timeline triggers.
2. Then, in the Slide Layer Properties window, you will want to enable the Pause timeline of base layer settings option.
3. Finally, you'll want to modify the Show layer trigger when the variable changes.
I've adjusted the settings in the file for the first layer to get you started. The updated file is attached.
I’ll open this discussion up to our fabulous community so that others who have worked on a similar design in Storyline can share what worked best for them!

Hi, Luciana! Thank you so much for the guidance. I had tried removing the pause triggers, but it still wasn't working. You found the additional problems, and I greatly appreciate it!
