Need a way to control multiple audios on a screen with a signle play/pause button

Thanks for the input. I tried this option but it didn't work.

Are these audios playing simultaneously or in sequence?

Use the Play button to play the first audio, then add an action to the first audio, to the effect of Ondoneplaying play audio2, then on audio 2 do the same to play audio 3 and so on.

Use one audio button and one audio object. Then when you need to change the audio that is playing, use Change Contents with the target as the audio object and replace the audio that is playing. If you need more help, contact me directly at the email below.

On each click, you should do two things:

1) stop all audios that could be playing

2) play the required item-specific audio

The easiest way to do it (assuming you have 10 items):

1) On each item, add 10 actions "On click -> Stop audio1", "On click -> Stop audio2" and so on

2) On each item, add 1 action "On click -> Play audioX" (where X is the required audio)

A bit more efficient way to do it:

1) Put all ten "stop audio" action into an action group

2) On each item, add 1 action "On click -> Run action group" and 1 action "On click -> Play audioX".

I'm sitting with a similar problem. I've got multiple audio descriptions on one page. When you click on the items there is a audio description that starts playing.

So if you click on one of the other audio actions before all audio stopped. I end up with multiple audios playing simultaneously.

Is there a way of adding a second action or something? Here is a screenshot of the page;

Thanks, I see this solution and the mechanics behind it!

Thanks for the advise and offer!! Awesome forum!!

This works fine if you are viewing the module on a computer, but what about mobile devices? We have found the variable trigger on audio doesn't appear to work. Any insight?

Have you tried the 'Change content' solution Ben suggests on mobile ? That should work.

If all other options fail on your mobile devices, you could script/code your audioplayer yourself.

This sample i added quite a while ago uses Buzz as an external audioLibrary. You can do quite a lot with it and its for sure completely compatible with mobile devices.
