Suggestion - not have audio begin automatically - layers
For the layer, you could put a pause timeline trigger on your feedback master. Feedback masters control layers. Make sure you set your layer properties to allow seeking - Yes, and to pause the timeline of the base layer so that audio doesn't overlap. Then learners can just press the play button on the player for both the base layer and the layer. Sample attached with a pause timeline on the parent slide in the slide master and the parent slide in the feedback master.
Hi Elizabeth -
I am probably missing something obvious but can't get it to work.
The project file has 2 slides. Everything is the same, except 2 different Feedback Master Slides.
The first one, the one I am trying to make work,
The second, is your original just for reference.
On the first slide when you go to the layer and hit the play button, it just continues the audio from the base layer.
The second slide correctly plays the new layer audio.
Any help you, (or others) can give would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you
Suzanne
Make sure on any layers on the slide, that you adjust the layer properties to pause the timeline of the base layer. Usually if base layer audio continues playing, that's the problem, and it looks like on slide 1 in your attachment, you don't have that box checked for the layer property:

OK, I think I found the solution. I deleted what I originally wrote, since it was incorrect.
It looks like all I needed to do was go into Slide Layer Properties and put a check mark before "Pause timeline of base layer".
This not only pauses the audio from the main slide when you go to the layer, but allows the new "play" button to appear that can resume the timeline for the layer.
Thanks
