How to open WOV file?

The most common problem when using Cakewalk SONAR Cache Clip is that a specific WOV is not associated with the program. Thus, when you open WOV, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the WOV 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 SONAR

The first step is to check if the computer has the SONAR program installed. This can be achieved by typing SONAR into the operating system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file WOV.

Programs to open WOV file

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

Step 2. Create association of SONAR with WOV files

However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the WOV file to open in the SONAR application, but you can set it manually. 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 select the desired program. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WOV file with the SONAR application.

Step 3. Update SONAR to the latest version

If, despite the association of the SONAR program with the Cakewalk SONAR Cache Clip file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. This can be done using the application (if it provides such options) or from the Cakewalk, Inc. website and install the latest version.

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

The problem may also be with the file itself if the above steps don't work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The WOV file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WOV file contents when downloading or copying. Downloading the file again should fix the problem.
The operating system may be infected with a computer virus. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our WOV file. However, remember that not every infected WOV file can be recovered, so it is important to take care of regular backups.
Older version of WOV file may not always be supported by the latest software version. 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.
There can be many reasons for the failure. Depending on the type of file, it is necessary to repair it accordingly. Some programs offer the ability to automatically repair WOV file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Cakewalk, Inc. help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted file WOV 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. It is best to move WOV to a different directory.
This can happen on a file that does not support multiple access. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the WOV file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
