The UB file is supported on 3 operating systems. Depending on your operating system, you may need different software to handle the UB files. Below is a summary of the number of programs that support and open the UB file on each system platform.
What is UB file?
The UB file has been categorized as Audio Files. Audio Files consists of 771 similar files. Unsigned Byte Audio Format is most often found on 3 operating systems. The file will work on Linux, Mac OS, Windows systems, unfortunately not on others. It is recommended to use SoX to handle this file. This is a program created by The SoX Team. There are also 5 alternative programs to handle the UB file. QuickTime Player, Awave Studio will apply when it is not possible to use SoX.
How to open UB file?
The main problem with Unsigned Byte Audio Format is that the UB file is incorrectly associated with programs. This is manifested by the fact that UB files open in unusual applications or do not have an assigned program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the UB 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 SoX
In this case, you should first verify that the SoX application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing SoX into the operating system search engine. If it is not, installation may solve the problem, as most applications create file associations during installation. Below is a list of programs that support the file UB.
Programs to open UB file
Remember to download programs supporting UB files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of SoX with UB files
If, despite the installed application, the UB file does not start in the SoX application, you must create a file 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 set the program to handle this type. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the SoX application as the default for handling the UB file.
Step 3. Update SoX to the latest version
If, however, after binding SoX with Unsigned Byte 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 The SoX Team page and install.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the UB file
The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. The most common file problems are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This suggests truncating the UB 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. Perform a virus scan using available and up-to-date anti-virus software. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file UB or the program directory. However, remember that not every infected UB 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 UB file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular UB file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use N/A help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file UB 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. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. If possible, you can try to move the UB file to another location.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. In this case, the UB file is blocked by the first application to open it. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the UB file while scanning. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
