Remember to download programs supporting MSV files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Sony Digital Voice Player with MSV files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the MSV file still does not use the Sony Digital Voice Player program, it means no association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. 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. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the MSV file with the Sony Digital Voice Player program.
Step 3. Update Sony Digital Voice Player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the Sony Digital Voice Player program, it is possible that Memory Stick Voice Format requires a newer version of the program.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the MSV 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:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the MSV file contents when downloading or copying. 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. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the MSV file that we want to open. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover MSV files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the MSV 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 this. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular MSV file corruption.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted MSV 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 of the system directories are excluded from modification. These directories are write-protected to them and it's very hard to fix this problem. It is best to move MSV to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the MSV file again. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the MSV file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
