How to open AGM file?

The most common problem when using DTS Multi-channel Pro Packer Format is that a specific AGM is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open AGM, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AGM file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install DTS Pro Series Surround Encoder

The first step is to check if the computer has the DTS Pro Series Surround Encoder program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name DTS Pro Series Surround Encoder in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open AGM files.

Step 2. Create association of DTS Pro Series Surround Encoder with AGM files

If, despite the installed application, the AGM file does not start in the DTS Pro Series Surround Encoder application, you must create a file association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the AGM file with the DTS Pro Series Surround Encoder program.

Step 3. Update DTS Pro Series Surround Encoder to the latest version

If, however, after binding DTS Pro Series Surround Encoder with DTS Multi-channel Pro Packer Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AGM file

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The AGM file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the AGM file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our AGM file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover AGM files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AGM file. Help should be sought from the software developer, as they usually recommend using free file converters or installing an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair AGM file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AGM files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the AGM file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the AGM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
