Audio is not Syncing with Slideshow Play

I have audio files tied to each slide in my project. I have transitions of objects based on the timing of the audio. While this works fine in the edit mode, anytime I preview or publish the project, the audio plays at the beginning of each slide (like it should), but the play of the slides doesn't start (it just pauses at the beginning). 

How can I sync the timeline AND audio together in preview and publish mode?

Ah ok. Here it is.

I don't see any pause in this part of the timeline. Check the On Enter event of that slide, please? If it is 'No action', that is fine.

It is a good practice to delay the start of the audio timeline a little bit (0,2secs) so that it can load totally on runtime.

Which Preview method is causing the issue?

Can you please post a screenshot of the timeline? I suspect you are pausing the timeline too early. Read more about that:

The problem is definitely around pausing the presentation, but I am not sure where/why this is happening. I created a video that displays the problem.

Please, insert a screenshot of the COMPLETE timeline. That video is showing only a small part of the timeline, I need to see all objects.
