Hi Ana,

it looks like you can't really disable the controls.
a solution could be to set autoplay, remove the controls, show another icon/image on the page (else the respondent might wonder that she/he gets an empty page and add an auto-forward function on the question that clicks the next button after the audio file will have ended.

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
setTimeout(function () {jQuery('#NextButton').click();},4000);
});

note that the time (bold) is in miliseconds.
Best regards
Rudi

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/44055#Comment_44055It worked! Thank you so much Rudi. However, now the audio is being played twice at the same time, it sounds like an echo. Do you know why this could be happening?
This is my current html code

And I used your JS code as well.

Hi
this might be due to the preview mode and mobile version. maybe you publish the survey and test the anonymous link.

Best regards

Rudi

Rudi I am hoping you can help me with a similar issue. I want participants to have play/pause controls, but I want to disable download/playback rate adjustment.
I was able to do this for most users with controlslist="nodownload noplaybackrate" but I am having trouble with the playback rate option persisting on iPhones. Do you have any idea what could be causing this?
Here is my code:
