If your cards have auto-playing audio, then the javascript auto-advance will cut off currently playing audio when the timer finishes.

You’d need to turn off audio auto-play in the deck options and instead implement audio auto-play in javascript so that the auto-advance javascript would have access to the audio playing state and be able to wait for audio playing to end before advancing.

The code in this post could be a helpful starting point: [Is it possible to load audio dynamically with JavaScript? - #10 by srghma](https://forums.ankiweb.net/t/is-it-possible-to-load-audio-dynamically-with-javascript/13011/10)
