    audio - toggle on/off multiple sounds even when they are not currently playing

      I am wondering if there is a way to stop toggle all sounds even if they are not playing.

       

      What I mean by that is I have several sound files that play one at a time when a slide comes in. I can toggle on/of the current sound but what if I want to toggle all sounds on/off in the compostion even if they are not playing so that when I go to next slide it will be on or off depending what was chosen on the previous slide?

       

      One of the problem would be that I do not want all sounds to be turned back on at the same time but only the current one but I still want to be able to turn off all the sounds if the user decides he does not want to hear sound while at the same time I want the sounds to load automatically on each slide if he has decided to have sound.

       

      Hope this makes sense.

          didn't have the time to test this code yet.

          but it should work.

          Html5 audio can not be accessed by class, it can only be accessed by id.

           

          so i made this code

           

          $( "audio" ).each(function() {

          var a = $(this).attr("id");

          var audioPlayer = document.getElementById(a)

              audioPlayer.pause();

              audioPlayer.currentTime = 0;

          });

           

          this will find the id of the audios and pause them and reset the time to 0

          ( not really a way to officially stop audio )

           

          or you van just mute it with this code

           

          $( "audio" ).each(function() {

          var a = $(this).attr("id");

          var audioPlayer = document.getElementById(a)

              audioPlayer.muted = true;

          });
