How to open DIG file?
The main problem with Digilink Audio Format is that the DIG file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file DIG to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DIG 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 Sound Forge Pro
The first step is to check if the computer has the Sound Forge Pro program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name Sound Forge Pro in it. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open DIG files.
Programs to open DIG file
Remember to download programs supporting DIG files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sound Forge Pro with DIG files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DIG file still does not use the Sound Forge Pro program, it means no association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the Sound Forge Pro application as the default for handling the DIG file.
Step 3. Update Sound Forge Pro to the latest version
If, despite the association of the Sound Forge Pro program with the Digilink 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 DIG file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. File problems can be divided into the following:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the DIG file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DIG or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover DIG files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of DIG file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DIG file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DIG 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. Copying the DIG file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DIG file again. However, some background programs may block the DIG file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
