How to open SSND file?

The main problem with Synclavier Sound Format is that the SSND file is incorrectly associated with programs. Thus, when you open SSND, 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 SSND 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 SynclavierX

In this case, you should first verify that the SynclavierX application is installed on the computer. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name SynclavierX in it. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Later in this article you will find a list of programs that can open SSND files.

Programs to open SSND file

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

Step 2. Create association of SynclavierX with SSND files

If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the SSND file still does not use the SynclavierX program, it means no 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 set the program to handle this type. If there is no software on the list, simply select "Browse" and manually select the directory where the application is installed. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SynclavierX application as the default for handling the SSND file.

Step 3. Update SynclavierX to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the SynclavierX program, it is possible that Synclavier Sound Format requires a newer version of the program.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the SSND 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 SSND file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the SSND file. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the SSND file that we want to open. However, remember that not every infected SSND file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the SSND file. 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. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair SSND file corruption.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted SSND 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. It is best to move SSND 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 you have to wait for the session to the file SSND to close. However, some background programs may block the SSND file while scanning. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
