Explanation
+ +An auditory access mode indicates that there is content that must be heard to
+ be understood (e.g., audio tracks on their own or as part of a video, or an audiobook).
+ It is expressed in metadata using the auditory value.
You do not have to set the auditory value if the audio does not include
+ information necessary to understand the content (e.g., background noises in an interactive
+ game or mood music).
Auditory content added using EPUB 3's media overlays feature is not considered an auditory + access mode unless the auditory content is the only way to read the entire publication.
+ +For example, a mainstream publisher will typically add a media overlay to the full text of a + novel. In this case, the work would only have a textual access mode. + An accessible content republisher, on the other hand, might publish the same work with only + the chapter headings as text and all the content of the book synchronized to those headings + as audio (to allow users who are blind to move through the audio by heading). In this case, + the work would only have an auditory access mode.
+ +Note that it is not possible for EPUB 2 publications to have an auditory access mode as the format + does not support embedding audio or have an equivalent to EPUB 3's media overlays.
+Examples

+ ONIX Mapping
+ +The auditory value maps to multiple codes in list 81. Some common examples include
+ code 01 for audiobooks,
+ code 28 for video, and
+ code 44 for comics and manga.
