Stop automatic start of audio fragments in a presentation (Libreoffice Impress)

Environment: Libreoffice version 7.6.2.1 on Windows11 PC.

I’m making a presentation.
I place multiple audio fragments on a slide.
When I open the relevant slide in the presentation, all audio fragments are played simultaneously. I want an audio fragment to only start after I have clicked on the fragment with the mouse.
How do I achieve that?

If you want to start an audio yourself, you have to proceed differently.
For example, place a drawing object (circle) on the slide.
Select the object and choose Animation in the sidebar (Ctrl+F5).
There click on Add and at Category on “Various Effects” and select “Start”.
At “Start” select “On click”.
At Direction click the button on the right.
In the Effect Options dialog, select “Other sound…” (scroll down) for Sound.
In the file browser, select the audio and click Open.
Click OK.
Start the presentation.
