The animation toolbar provides you with a quick and easy way to record and navigate the animation.
By default, the animation toolbar appears in the lower part of the workspace and contains animation
tools as well as a slider called the time slider. The time slider determines which frame is currently
shown in the viewports.
You can also access the animation toolbar’s commands from the Animation
menu.

Play Sound
If this option is enabled, any sound tracks are played when you play the animation.
When you enable Play Sound, the All Frames option is disabled automatically

Frames, the sound will not be played when you play the animation.
Keyframe Selection
Here you can select which objects will receive keys when you record. A menu will appear containing
various options as well as the names of all the Selection objects in the scene. If you choose one of the
Selection objects, then keys will be recorded for all the objects that the Selection object represents.

Keys will be recorded for the active objects (i.e. the objects that are selected
in the Object manager or viewport).
