Support sound/audio

What is it with Adobe's hatred of sound? They keep coming out with apps that make it easier to assemble web sites yet ALWAYS exclude sound. There are a lot of creative projects I'd like to work on with Adobe but they require sound files. From a web site where you click and drag loops to mix the audio live, to a kid's virtual zoo where you click on an animal to hear the sound it makes, to a site made for visually-impared people who have to navigate by sound, to a site about how orchestras work where you can "conduct" based on how you move the mouse around the various instruments, and just basic music snippets visitors can click on to hear samples. But I can't do any of these because Adobe has this intense, all-consuming vitriolic hatred of audio. Every time they come out with a new web app they leave out everything to do with sound, and when I ask about this Adobe just stares at me in befuddled confusion as if I was insane for even thinking it was worth mentioning in the first place.

Why, Adobe? Why exclude sound from web apps? Why completely ignore ears as if they were never there? What is your problem with audio?

    Thank you so much! Would love to have a sound reacting to different triggers!

  • Carlos commented  ·   ·  Report

    Unable to record prototype preview with sound

  • EssZett commented  ·   ·  Report

    finaly working,
    BUT very restricive: only as addition to tap trigger, not the other way around and not for other triggers.
    In preview not as well.

    audio playback not available after update of today, voice output is. Should I wait or is it a bug ?

  • ghowarth commented  ·   ·  Report

    I would like this too. I work on a myriad of non mobile phone / web projects i.e. the UI for actual physical products with screens and buttons. Often these products have audio / alarms or startup tones. It would be amazing if Adobe could support audio so I can do proper user studies. There is more to Experience Design than tapping a screen.

    I've been using Adobe XD for designing game interactions. This feature would be very useful for my purposes.

  • Leo Lagdameo commented  ·   ·  Report

    Yes please add, this will be a wonderful feature. Please add before other prototyping app does.

  • Jim Rand commented  ·   ·  Report

    Especially given the explosion in voice and audio. Small box for a big company!

  • Jaz commented  ·   ·  Report

    This just needs to happen. period.

  • MSialer commented  ·   ·  Report

    How come this hasnt arrived yet, we need to be able to insert mp3files and of course, when the HOVER for the buttons?!

  • Robert Parry commented  ·   ·  Report

    Was loving the thought of using XD to prototype a new app until I found out it's not possible to include audio files! How ridiculous. Come on Adobe. If nothing else, think of the revenue - you're losing clients daily!!

    voice narration, generation of mp3 files. I don't want voice commands, I want to present information as narration, whereby user taps image and hears the info. The AI voices exist, but I can't add them to my site because the system doesn't generate mp3 files.

    Well, I was designing a musical ear training app and found, to my dismay, that I cannot add audio. What? Project halted.

  • Erik Rivero commented  ·   ·  Report

    Come on guys! 3 years and we still want this

  • Samuel Mccown commented  ·   ·  Report

    This was a deal-breaker for a project. Had to switch to another tool. Must be fixed for XD to be the go-to prototyper.

    最近XDを使い始めました。
    プロトタイプを作り、とてもいい動きをします。

    しかしいくら調べてもＢＧＭを流したりＳＥを入れたりする方法が見つかりません。
    そしてたどりついたこのページ。
    サウンドを再生する機能は、すぐにでも導入していただきたいです。

    ゲームのプロトタイプを作ってますが、音声は視覚と同じくらい大事です。
    お願いします。

    【Translate to English】
    I started using XD.
    Make a prototype and make a very good move.

    However, no matter how much you investigate, you can't find a way to run BGM or put SE.
    And this page that arrived.
    We would like you to introduce the function to play sound as soon as possible.

    I'm making a prototype for the game, but the sound is as important as visual.
    Please.

    MP3 file support would be a great feature if added. It could create much more interactive prototypes when paired with MP4 files or on its own.
