Audio on failure caption

Using Captivate 8, on a quiz slide, there is a failure caption. When the failure caption appears it should play an audio file.

These are the steps I did: Selected the failure caption. Then clicked the Audio menu and choose Import to > Object.

When I look at Advanced Audio Management, the object audio is listed as it should be. However, when previewing the project, answering the quiz slide incorrectly and hitting the Submit button, the failure caption appears but the audio doesn't play.

Is there some trick to making the audio play when the failure caption appears?

    To the failure caption itself.


    I can confirm that this is an issue in Captivate 8 but not in Captivate 9.

    But it's certainly NOT going to get fixed or patched in Cp8 now that Cp9 is currently available.

    Since no one has replied, I wonder if the problem is just me or there is a bug in Captivate 8. Has anyone else encountered this problem?

    Just tried it (on Captivate 9 because it was open) and the audio played fine. Did you add the audio on the slide itself to the Failure caption?

    Interesting, I tested by adding audio to a failure caption and it worked just fine in Captivate 8.

    I tested using a True/False question. Maybe it makes a difference if it's a different type of question?

    Cheers... Rick


    Mine was a True/False question as well.

    Were you testing with SWF or HTML5 output?
