The MKA file extension is associated with the Matroska multimedia container format. It is an open source, cross-platform, container format designed for storing audio and video data as well as interactivity components such as menus, subtitles, and chapter points. The Matroska file format ( MKA) stores data in a flexible and extensible format, allowing users to easily modify or expand on files created by existing Matroska applications.
Format Details
The MKA audio file stores audio streams compressed with a variety of codecs, including GNU AAC, Microsoft AC-3, MPEG-1 Layer 3 (MP3), Free Lossless Audio Codec (FLAC), Vorbis, TTA, ATRAC3plus/RealAudio lossy/lossless audio format, and many others. Currently, Matroska audio files can contain up to 8 independent audio streams and associated metadata elements stored in an efficient manner that makes searches relatively fast. Since MKA is part of the Matroska Media Container format, it can easily be opened with most media players including VLC media player, MPC-HC, Divx player, Kodi, and others.Similar File Extensions
Other common Matroska file extensions include MKV, MKS, MK3D, LEY, and DIVX. Each of these file formats is part of the larger Matroska container format and can contain audio, video, and other multimedia content compressed in a variety of codecs. Additionally, these multimedia formats often have associated subtitle files stored as separate extensions that are sometimes included with the audio or video file being played.Programs for WINDOWS system

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .MKA) 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 .MKA 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 .MKA 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 .MKA 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 .MKA extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .MKA file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.
Other instructions
If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .MKA 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 .MKA file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .MKA file) will be extended to the maximum.
It is also good to check
- if the .MKA file has no errors
- or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
