Step 2. Create association of VLC media player with TTA files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TTA file to open in the VLC media player application, but you can set it manually. 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. 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 TTA file with the VLC media player program.
Step 3. Update VLC media player to the latest version
The fault may also lie with the VLC media player program, it is possible that True Audio Format requires a newer version of the program. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the VideoLAN Project Team website and install the latest version.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TTA file
Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. File problems can be divided into the following:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to TTA 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 most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file TTA or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TTA files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
Older version of TTA 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. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TTA file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact True Audio Software
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file TTA 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 TTA 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. Closing other programs should help. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the TTA file again. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If the problem persists, restart the machine.
