Audio for a slide begins on previous slide

I have a couple Captivate 8 projects in which the audio for slide 2 (text to speech voice) begins near the end of slide 1. I have tried possible solutions which didn't work, such as extending the length of slide 1 after the audio ends, and adding a button which forces the user to press the button before the movie advances.  All that happened was the audio for slide 2 still began on slide 1, but after the button was pushed.  This does not happen on subsequent slides, just for slides 1 and  2. Any ideas what might be causing this?

      You created object audio, that has some drawbacks however. You cannot use CC with them. I tried to explain most of it in several articles:

      Can you have a look at this thread: Captivate 9 - Audio Problem

      Oops, I answered in French, but look at the screenshot which I posted: leave a small gap before and after the audio clip to avoid the kind of problem you got.

      Thanks.  I had tried this, but it didn't work.  I ended up attaching the audio to a white highlight box which doesn't appear until about 1 second into the second slide.  I don't know this problem suddenly started, but putting in the highlight box solved the problem. 

      I appreciate your help.
