Hi
you can mute the volume
Using the Audio Tools
Articulate Storyline has some quick-access tools for previewing audio, adjusting volume, launching the built-in audio editor, switching to a different audio file, and exporting audio clips. Click the audio icon at the lower left corner of the slide or click the audio track in the timeline to reveal the Audio Tools—Options tab on the ribbon.Previewing Audio
Click Preview to hear the selected audio track. Click it again to stop the audio playback.Tip: Another way to preview an audio track is to double-click the audio icon at the lower left corner of the slide. Single-click it to stop the audio playback.
Adjusting Volume
Click Audio Volume to change the relative volume of your audio track, then choose one of the following levels:Low: Lowers the volume to 50% of the original.
Medium: Sets the volume at 100%, meaning there's no change to the original volume. This is the default option.
High: Raises the volume to 150% of the original.
Mute: Silences the selected audio track.Thank you Wendy for your answer,

Hi Wendy,
This is still not a solution of the pyxi pyx's question.
Actually he wanted to add a mute/unmute button in a syncing frames/course.
@pyxi pyx, If i am wrong kindly correct me. Thanks.
I am also looking for a trigger to Mute and UnMute volume in Storyine 360. Mostly posts are showing to play and stop/pause media file that is not better idea.
Lizzie over here https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/javascript-to-mute-audio?page=4 posted the solution. Make sure you visit the thread and thank her. Here's the code:
var appState = require("helpers/appState");appState.onToggleVolume();//mute
Hi Nadeem and Abhishek,
There isn't a trigger to access the player buttons for the volume control. I know some folks have looked at using Javascript to access those items - so I'd have to leave that in the hands of the community.
Hi,
This is not working when open the new tab.(if i mute the audio than open the new tab in this case audio is not unmute)
Please suggest
Hi Reena,
Here is an example with the code posted by Michael.
Hope that helps.
Thank you but this is not working when open a new browser tab
Each browser tab is its own document. Therefore, the code you apply in one will not carry to another one. If you are opening a new tab, you would need to run the code in the new tab. There is not a way for JavaScript to affect your universal browser settings.
We have created a new course with audio throughout but some of our learners want the option to disable the audio - any ideas on a solution for a course wide mute?
