Audio - toggle on/off multiple sounds even when they are not currently playing

Question

I am wondering if there is a way to stop toggle all sounds even if they are not playing.
What I mean by that is I have several sound files that play one at a time when a slide comes in. I can toggle on/of the current sound but what if I want to toggle all sounds on/off in the compostion even if they are not playing so that when I go to next slide it will be on or off depending what was chosen on the previous slide?
One of the problem would be that I do not want all sounds to be turned back on at the same time but only the current one but I still want to be able to turn off all the sounds if the user decides he does not want to hear sound while at the same time I want the sounds to load automatically on each slide if he has decided to have sound.
Hope this makes sense.

Answer 1

didn't have the time to test this code yet.
but it should work.
Html5 audio can not be accessed by class, it can only be accessed by id.
so i made this code
$( "audio" ).each(function() {
var a = $(this).attr("id");
var audioPlayer = document.getElementById(a)
    audioPlayer.pause();
    audioPlayer.currentTime = 0;
this will find the id of the audios and pause them and reset the time to 0
( not really a way to officially stop audio )
or you van just mute it with this code
$( "audio" ).each(function() {
var a = $(this).attr("id");
var audioPlayer = document.getElementById(a)
    audioPlayer.muted = true;
