Hi HoneyTurner,
Thanks for reaching out! Sorry to hear you've run into this snag. Happy to help!
I can't replicate this behavior on my end. Here's a quick Peek where I walk you through my experience attempting the overlap of audio using the Layer Properties that you shared.
- Just to clarify, does this happen on all slides or just one specific slide?
- Do you experience this behavior if you try and recreate this in a new .story file?
It would be helpful to see your .story file. Feel free to share in this thread or privately in a support case.
Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi Luciana,
Thanks for your video presentation. I saw almost right away something that made your sample different than my working files. Most of mine use a video as the base and layer on extra components. So, I made a test file that shows the impact of having a video on each layer vs using text to speech. And it confirmed, it plays audio from the base layer only if it's from a video.

Hello HoneyTurner,
Thanks for sharing a copy of your project file.
To prevent the base layer audio from playing when you preview the layer timeline, you can enable this option in the Slide Layer Properties so that the base layer is paused when the slide layer is previewed.
Let me know if this works for you!

Thanks JoseTansengco,
I can't get your pic to zoom, so I hope I understood correctly.
If I am on slide 1.2 or 1.3 and set Brian's Slide Layer Properties to have "Pause timeline of base layer" checked, it's still playing both Brian and Danielle when I hit the play button on Brian's timeline.
