VO Over Cut Off First Second of Storyline Courses.
Hi Heather,
Thanks for reaching out!
- Could you share more about how you are recording your audio? (Are you recording from a USB Microphone, your computer, etc.)
- You mentioned you haven't published to video yet. Are you experiencing this change in volume if you publish to Review 360? I'd be curious to know what browser you are using.
- What source are you using for your audio output? Is it a bluetooth setup or directly from your computer?
I'd be happy to take a closer at your file. Feel free to share your .story file and audio files with us in this thread or privately in a support case.
I have submitted a support case. Thank you!

Hi Heather,
Thanks for submitting a support case. That was a smart move! I see that my colleague Dexter offered several suggestions for fixing the audio issue. I encourage you to continue troubleshooting with Dexter so that we can find a fix.

Can you share the suggestions Dexter offered so others can benefit from it too? I have the same issue but don't know how to fix it.

Hi Susanne,
Thanks for reaching out! I'm happy to share Dexter's recommendation in the support case. He could not replicate the audio issue but suggested the steps below. If you need additional help, please let us know here or privately in a support case. We'll be happy to assist you.
I'd like to confirm if you're working on your local hard drive and not via USB, network hard drive, or cloud-syncing drives (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc). Working on a network drive, a USB drive, or cloud-syncing drives (Dropbox, OneDrive, Google Drive, etc) can cause erratic behavior due to latency. See the following article for more information and tips.

If you're on your local, please confirm if the issue persists when you're using your machine's speakers instead of earphones.
Also, follow the steps in this article to hopefully fix Storyline's erratic behavior:
