The FAW file extension, also known as FDA (Dawn of War Audio File), is an audio file used in the Dawn of War gaming series for both personal computer and the Xbox platforms. The FDA files store audio samples and are typically required in order to play the game. Various sound clips, such as background music, character voices, and sound effects are stored as a series of samples within the FDA file. In addition to the FAW extension, other sound extensions in the game include .bnk, .lip, .rsd, and .wem.
Details and Specifications
The FDA files typically have a large file size due to the large amount of audio data that they store per file. The FDA format has many parameters that can be adjusted with certain software like Visual C++ 6.0 or other compilers. It supports 16-bit mono PCM samples as well as OGG compression and can reproduce sounds with up to 48 kHz frequency. Additionally, the audio file can be stored with an additional header providing information about duration, fade-in / fade-out sections, pitch variations, control loops, and others.
Similar File Extensions
Other file formats similar to FAW that use sound data include .aif, .flac, .mp3, .wav, and .ogg. These are all commonly known audio formats which are recognizable by most media players.
Programs for WINDOWS system
After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .FDA) with the new application. If this does not happen, we can help the system a bit by selecting the software for it, which it should always use to open files with the .FDA extension.
When choosing the software we can select the system to use this software every time.
Remember!
Using it for the first time it is good to check whether the .FDA file opened in the application can be read by us and opens in a way that allows us to use it. If everything is in order, select this option the next time you open a file with the .FDA extension. However, if the file has not opened correctly, we have to look for a different software, with which we can open files with the .FDA extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .FDA file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .FDA file has not meet your expectations, you can try searching other websites. But remember to avoid downloading programs "that can open any file". These applications not only have very limited functionality, but may also expose you to expense tens of dollars when purchasing a license.
In the vast majority of cases you will find the program dedicated to support the .FDA file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .FDA file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .FDA file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
