How to open YADPCM file?
An often recurring problem with Raw Yamaha 4-bit ADPCM Format is that YADPCM is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open YADPCM, 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 YADPCM 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 Awave Studio
The first step is to check if the computer has the Awave Studio program installed. This can be achieved by typing Awave Studio into the operating system search engine. 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 YADPCM files.
Programs to open YADPCM file
Remember to download programs supporting YADPCM files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of Awave Studio with YADPCM files
If the application is or has been freshly installed, but the YADPCM file still does not use the Awave Studio program, it means no association. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. 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. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the YADPCM file with the Awave Studio program.
Step 3. Update Awave Studio to the latest version
If, however, after binding Awave Studio with Raw Yamaha 4-bit ADPCM Format there were still problems, you should update the program to the latest version. In this case, use the FMJ-Software website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the YADPCM file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. The most common file problems are:
The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. Usually this applies to YADPCM 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 quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. However, it is important to scan the entire system, not only the file YADPCM or the program directory. Sometimes virus-infected YADPCM files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
This can happen especially when the program is dynamically developed and the structure of the YADPCM files changes over time. 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. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular YADPCM file corruption. The easiest way to restore the file is from a backup or by contacting N/A, but this one can be expensive. Not all damage can be reversed.
When reading, a message appears that the file was encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted YADPCM 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. 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 YADPCM file to another location.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Just close unnecessary programs. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. Antivirus programs or a backup being made may lock the file for a while without the user's knowledge. If this does not work either, restart the device.
