Conditional Audio Playback

If your B_Audio field always looks like described above (having a [sound:*.*] followed by <br> followed by [sound:*.*]) then you could probably use js to achieve your goal. Something in the lines of the following would work:

<script>
	// use multiline string
	var audio_field = `
	{{B_Audio}};
	`
	// count how many <br> there are. Also see: https://stackoverflow.com/a/4009768
	var count = (audio_field.match(/<br>/g) || []).length;
	
	// if there is more than one count, then there must be a synonym
	if (count > 1) {
		console.log("play ding");
		
		var audio = new Audio('_ding.mp3')
		audio.play();
	}
</script>
