Programs to open ARIA file
Remember to download programs supporting ARIA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Plogue chipsounds with ARIA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the ARIA file to open in the Plogue chipsounds application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the 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. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Plogue chipsounds application as the default for handling the ARIA file.
Step 3. Update Plogue chipsounds to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Plogue chipsounds program with the Chipsounds Audio Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ARIA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:
The ARIA file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ARIA files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ARIA file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected ARIA file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the ARIA files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ARIA files.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ARIA files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move ARIA to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. In this case, the ARIA file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file ARIA to close. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
