What is a VOC file?
VOC is a digital compressed audio format with 8 and 16-bit resolution. This format uses the μ-Law and A-Law algorithms to digitize audio. This sound can be recorded in both mono and stereo. VOC files can store, for example, sound samples of instruments or sound effects. This article highlights a guide on how to play a VOC file on your device.
VOC files are used by Creative Labs’ popular SoundBlaster sound cards. Compressing these files helps reduce their size and save storage space.
How to open VOC files
If a situation has arisen in which you cannot open a VOC file on your computer, there may be several reasons. The first and at the same time the most important (the most common) is the lack of a suitable application that supports VOC among those that are installed on your computer.
The easiest way to solve this problem is to find and download the appropriate application. The first part of the task has already been completed – you will find programs to support the VOC file below. Now it is enough to download and install the appropriate application.
This site also defines other possible causes causing the problems with VOC files.
Possible problems with VOC files
The inability to open and work with the VOC file does not mean at all that we do not have the appropriate software installed on our computer. There may be other problems that also block our ability to operate the Creative Labs Sound Format file. Below is a list of possible problems.
- Corruption of a VOC file that is being opened.
- Incorrect links to the VOC file in registry entries.
- Accidental deletion of the description of the VOC extension from the Windows registry
- Incomplete installation of an application that supports the VOC format
- The VOC file which is being opened is infected with undesirable malware.
- There is not enough space on the computer to open the VOC file.
- Drivers of equipment used by the computer to open a VOC file are out of date.
If you are sure that all of the above reasons do not exist in your case (or have already been ruled out), the VOC file should work with your programs without any problems. If the problem with the VOC file has still not been solved, it may be due to the fact that in this case there is another rare problem with the VOC file. In this case, only the help of a specialist remains.
