Troubleshooting Problems Opening VMD Files


Frequent VMD Opening Issues

Virtual Sound Blaster Disappeared

If you attempt to load your VMD file, you experience a message such as "Can't Open VMD Files". When this happens, it is commonly due to Virtual Sound Blaster missing in %%os%%. The OS won't know what to do with your VMD file, so double-clicking to load the file doesn't work.


Tip: If you have another software that you know opens VMD files, you can select it by hitting the "Show Apps" button.


Wrong Version of Virtual Sound Blaster is Installed

In other instances, your Covox Raw Sample file version may not be supported by your version of Virtual Sound Blaster. Visit the Creative Technology Ltd. website to download (or purchase) the latest version of Virtual Sound Blaster. This problem is most common when you have an older version of the software application, and your file was created by a newer version that it cannot recognize.


Tip: Find clues on the correct software version by right-clicking your VMD file and clicking "Properties".


Conclusion: The majority of VMD file opening issues are due to not having the correct Virtual Sound Blaster version installed.


More Causes of Problems Opening VMDs

Errors opening Covox Raw Sample files can still occur even with the latest Virtual Sound Blaster software installed on your computer. If you are continuing to have errors with loading VMD files, other external issues might be to blame. Problems unrelated to software:

  • Invalid VMD file references in the Windows Registry (the "phonebook" of the Windows Operating System)
  • Mistaken removal of the Windows registry VMD description
  • Defective install of a VMD program, such as Virtual Sound Blaster
  • The VMD itself is corrupted
  • Your VMD has adversely impacted by malware
  • Hardware associated with VMD has outdated drivers
  • Your PC doesn’t have enough available resources to open the Covox Raw Sample file
