Remember to download programs supporting LPCM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of Windows Movie Maker with LPCM files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the LPCM file still does not use the Windows Movie Maker program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Changes can be made using the "Change" button. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the LPCM file with the Windows Movie Maker application.

Step 3. Update Windows Movie Maker to the latest version

If, however, after binding Windows Movie Maker with Movie Maker Audio Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Microsoft Corporation page and install.

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

If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to LPCM files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
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. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the LPCM file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected LPCM 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 LPCM files changes over time. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for the failure. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged LPCM files. You can restore the file from a backup or use help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file LPCM 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the LPCM file to another location will fix the problem.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the LPCM file is blocked by the first application to open it. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the LPCM file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
