How to open FEV file?

The main problem with FMOD Audio Events Format is that the FEV file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open FEV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the FEV 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 FMOD Designer

An often overlooked issue is to make sure that FMOD Designer is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name FMOD Designer into the system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file FEV with FMOD Designer. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open FEV files.

Step 2. Create association of FMOD Designer with FEV files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the FEV file to open in the FMOD Designer application, but you can set it manually. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The window will show, among other things, the type of the file and the information by which the program is used to launch the file. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the FEV file with the FMOD Designer program.

Step 3. Update FMOD Designer to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the FMOD Designer program, it is possible that FMOD Audio Events Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Firelight Technologies Pty, Ltd. website and install the latest version.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the FEV file

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. File problems can be divided into the following:

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the FEV file. The only repair option is to download the file again.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the FEV file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover FEV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of FEV 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.
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 FEV files. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Firelight Technologies
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted file FEV 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.
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 FEV file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Just close unnecessary programs. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file FEV to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the FEV file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
