How to open ESU file?
An often recurring problem with LokSound Electronic Sound Format is that ESU is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open ESU, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ESU 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 LokSound
The first step is to check if the computer has the LokSound program installed. To do this, enter the name LokSound into the system search engine. 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 ESU files.
Programs to open ESU file
Remember to download programs supporting ESU files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of LokSound with ESU files
If, despite the installed application, the ESU file does not start in the LokSound application, you must create a file 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. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the ESU file with the LokSound application.
Step 3. Update LokSound to the latest version
If, however, after binding LokSound with LokSound Electronic Sound Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the Electronic Solutions Ulm GmbH & Co. KG website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ESU file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
The ESU file may be unusually small compared to the original file. Usually this applies to ESU files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Some antivirus vendors also provide free online scanners. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file ESU or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected ESU 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 ESU 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular ESU file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Electronic Solutions Ulm GmbH & Co. KG
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file ESU except for the special designation, works normally, but only on the device where it was encrypted, before transferring it to another machine, decryption is required.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the ESU file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the ESU file for a certain period of time. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
