Hi everyone! I have a problem with the audios, I place them but when exporting they do not appear. I am exporting in EPUB format, the audios are mp3. What can happen? If anyone can help me, thank you.

Presumably this is a FXL ePub not a Reflowable ePub?

Are you previewing the page with audio file in the EPUB interactivity Preview window? If so, click the play button a SECOND time. The latest versions of InDesign introduced a bug that prevents it from playing sounds the first time the preview window is opened.

If you leave the preview window open (don't close it) the preview will play sound files correctly the first time.

 

Also, when exporting: are you on Windows or Mac? What epub reader do you use to preview? On Windows there's really only one good option for interactive media-rich epub files: Thorium. On the Mac the default reader should do a proper job.

Hi @maria21886863sfir I see you don't have an answer yet, sorry about that. I'm not sure it's possible to export audio files embedded into an InDesign document to epub format. I tired it with a file and it won't work. Maybe someone will come along with a workaround.
