Troubleshoot DTS Files
Issues Opening DTS Files
CyberLink PowerDVD Not Present
You encounter an error message such as "%%os%% Can't Open DTS Files" when trying to open your DTS. Generally, this is experienced in %%os%% because CyberLink PowerDVD isn't installed on your PC. You won't be able to double-click to open your DTS because your OS doesn't know what to do with it.
Tip: When another DTS application is installed, you can choose to open it by selecting "Show Apps" and using that program.
Obsolete Version of CyberLink PowerDVD
In some cases, you might have a newer (or older) version of a DTS Encoded Audio File file that is unsupported by your installed application version. Installing the latest version of CyberLink PowerDVD from CyberLink is recommended. Most of the time your DTS Encoded Audio File file was created by a newer CyberLink PowerDVD than what you have installed.
Tip: Investigate your DTS file by right-clicking and selecting "Properties" to find clues on what version you need.
Conclusion: The majority of DTS file opening issues are due to not having the correct CyberLink PowerDVD version installed.
Other Causes of DTS File Opening Problems

- File references in the Windows Registry for DTS are wrong
- Unintentional removal of the description of the DTS file inside the Windows Registry
- CyberLink PowerDVD or another DTS application experienced a flawed installation
- DTS file corruption
- The DTS is infected with a virus
- Device drivers of the hardware associated with your DTS file are corrupt or out-of-date
