How to open VOX file?

An often recurring problem with Dialogic Voice Audio Format is that VOX is not associated with the correct program file. This causes the file VOX to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. This can be quickly resolved by following the instructions below.

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the VOX 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 Adobe Audition

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

Step 2. Create association of Adobe Audition with VOX files

If, despite the installed application, the VOX file does not start in the Adobe Audition 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 displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the VOX file with the Adobe Audition program.

Step 3. Update Adobe Audition to the latest version

If, despite the association of the Adobe Audition program with the Dialogic Voice Audio Format file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the Adobe Systems Incorporated page and install.

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

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

Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. This is most often caused by a problem while downloading the VOX 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 VOX file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected VOX files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
Older version of VOX 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 VOX file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact Dialogic
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted VOX files cannot be played on other computers than the one on which they were encrypted, they must be decrypted before using on another device.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move VOX to a different directory.
This problem only occurs with more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes it is necessary to wait a while before referencing the VOX 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.
