Audio stop

Question

I'm trying to create a keynote slide with multiple audio files.  I have successfully used builds to get the clips to start and stop as I desire.  However, I want to have two audio files available that I may not need during my presentation but may depending on audience questions.  Is there a way to have these two audio files on the presenter page and NOT have automatic start so I could use a  mouse/click (not build function) to activate if needed?  What I'm finding is that if I don't specifically list them in the build list they play automatically.
Thanks!

Here is a possible way to cheat:
Create a clone of the slide with all builds except the needed audio clip turned off and create a hyper link to the slide - you can jump to this slide when needed to activate the sound but the image on screen stays the same (don't use any transitions that call attention to the change) - create a hyperlink on the clone to return you to the original slide (or a silent duplicate) to allow you to move on. For the second audio, do the same with a different set of hyperlinks. Only you will know that you've moved to another slide.
The thing to remember about hyperlinks is that they need an object that you can click on to hold the link. This can be a shape with no fill or borders placed somewhere you can easily find on your slide. If you don't click on the object but click elsewhere, the slide just transitions normally.
Make sure that the cloned slides are part of the original file so that you can link to the slide by number. If hyperlinking to another file, the link can only be made to the first slide in the stack.
Good Luck.
