How to open DMU file?
The main problem with DigitalMugician Audio is that the DMU file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open DMU, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the DMU 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 Amiga Forever
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that Amiga Forever is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name Amiga Forever into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below you will find a list of applications that support DMU files.
Programs to open DMU file
Remember to download programs supporting DMU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Amiga Forever with DMU files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the DMU file still does not use the Amiga Forever program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. 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 Amiga Forever application as the default for handling the DMU file.
Step 3. Update Amiga Forever to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Amiga Forever program, it is possible that DigitalMugician Audio requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Cloanto IT srl website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the DMU file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The DMU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to DMU 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. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file DMU or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected DMU files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the DMU file. 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. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular DMU 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 indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted DMU 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. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move DMU to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the DMU file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the DMU file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
