Step 4. Check for the following problems with the AVASTSOUNDS 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 AVASTSOUNDS files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
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. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file AVASTSOUNDS or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected AVASTSOUNDS 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 AVASTSOUNDS files changes over time. 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.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged AVASTSOUNDS files. You can restore the file from a backup or use AVAST Software help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted AVASTSOUNDS 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.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. If possible, you can try to move the AVASTSOUNDS file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. In this case, the AVASTSOUNDS file is blocked by the first application to open it. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the AVASTSOUNDS file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
