Lectora 21 - Text to Speech Changing the Closed Captioning Display/ Controller Size

I am wondering how you adjust the size of the Closed Captioning box for text-to-speech audio.
When I select AUDIO POSITION & SIZE the Width is set at 300, Height is set at 114. However it greyed out and I can not change it.
Additionally, I am unable to manually change the actual image.
It is stuck at the size you see below. This is actually an improvement from a few weeks ago when it was half the size you see now.
ps - I apologize if I am not using the terms correctly. Still learning the lingo.

Honestly, you don't want to use the built in closed captioning feature for audio for this reason.
You're better off creating a text box in the location of the page you want your captions to occur and then set text based on your own syncing.

Like @clammers I was hoping for a way to have the text sync with the audio for accessibility compliance. I will read through the thread provided more carefully. thanks again.

The solution @andrew-robertson provided is the best option I know of currently in Lectora (I agree using the built-in closed-captioning for audio is unusable); however, it's a lot of ground to lay. From an accessibility standpoint, you would also want to keep the playbar visible, but that would muck with the synched events.
