Troubleshoot AWB Files


Common AWB Opening Problems

Missing Apple QuickTime Player

If you attempt to load your AWB file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open AWB Files". Customarily, this means that Apple QuickTime Player is not installed on %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your AWB file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: When another AWB application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.


Outdated Apple QuickTime Player

In other instances, your AMR-WB Audio File file version may not be supported by your version of Apple QuickTime Player. If you've got the wrong version of Apple QuickTime Player installed, you'll need to install the correct version. This issue mainly occurs when your AMR-WB Audio File file was created by a newer version of Apple QuickTime Player than you have on your PC.


Tip: Right-clicking on your AWB, then clicking "Properties" (Windows) or "Get Info" (Mac), can provide clues about your file version.


Ultimately, most of the difficulties opening AWB files are due to having the wrong version of Apple QuickTime Player installed.


Associated Difficulties Loading AWB Files

Assuming you have the right Apple QuickTime Player version installed, other problems can prevent you from opening AWB files. Other AWB opening errors can be created by other system problems inside of %%os%%. Other contributing causes:

  • AWB file references in the Windows Registry are broken
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry AWB description
  • Incomplete or bad installation of a software application associated with the AWB format
  • AWB file corruption
  • The AWB is infected with a virus
  • Hardware related to AWBs has device driver corruption
  • Your computer does not have the adequate system resources to open the AMR-WB Audio File format
