How to open WVC file?

The main problem with WavPack Correction Format is that the WVC file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file WVC 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 WVC 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 WavPack

In this case, you should first verify that the WavPack application is installed on the computer. This can be achieved by typing WavPack into the operating system search engine. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file WVC with WavPack. Below is a list of programs that support the file WVC.

Step 2. Create association of WavPack with WVC files

If, despite the installed application, the WVC file does not start in the WavPack application, you must create a file association. The association can be created using the drop-down list available by right-clicking on the file and selecting Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. However, it is important to check the "Always use the selected program ..." box, this will allow you to permanently associate the WVC file with the WavPack application.

Step 3. Update WavPack to the latest version

The fault may also lie with the WavPack program, it is possible that WavPack Correction Format requires a newer version of the program. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the David Bryant page and install.

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

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:

The WVC file may be unusually small compared to the original file. This suggests truncating the WVC file contents when downloading or copying. The only repair option is to download the file again.
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. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file WVC or the program directory. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover WVC files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the WVC file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
The file may be corrupted in a number of ways. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular WVC file corruption. The easiest way is to restore the file from a backup, if there is one, or contact WavPack
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted WVC files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some of the system directories are excluded from modification. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. Copying the WVC file to another location will fix the problem.
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. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the WVC file for a certain period of time. If nothing helps, please reset the device.
