How to open AUD file?

An often recurring problem with Video Game Compressed Audio Format is that AUD is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file AUD to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the AUD 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 NICE Media Player

The first step is to check if the computer has the NICE Media Player program installed. This can be achieved by typing NICE Media Player into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file AUD.

Step 2. Create association of NICE Media Player with AUD files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the AUD file still does not use the NICE Media Player program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. 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 AUD file with the NICE Media Player program.

Step 3. Update NICE Media Player to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the NICE Media Player program, it is possible that Video Game Compressed Audio Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the NICE Systems website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AUD 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 affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to AUD 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 AUD file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected AUD file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the AUD file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular AUD file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted AUD 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move AUD to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the AUD file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the AUD file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
