PDF with button to play audio doesn't work when PDF is launched from Storyline Resources tab.

Question

I have a slide in my course that instructs the learner to select a PDF from the resources tab. This PDF has a button to call an audio file. When launched from the Resources tab, the audio will not play on mouse down. However, if I open the PDF from File Explorer, the audio works fine.

current browsers (Edge, Chrome, Firefox) cannot play audio in their integrated PDF viewer
this is only possible in standalone PDF viewers (Adobe Acrobat Reader, Foxit Reader ...)
