The SND file extension is a type of sound file which is commonly used in both Macintosh and Microsoft Windows operating systems. It is associated with the native sound formats supported by operating system’s "Classic" applications such as Soundscape, SoundEdit 16 and a few others. The SND extensions refer to a combination of four different types of audio files.
Formats of SND Files
The list of the supported audio formats are: simple 8-bit, 8-bit µ-Law, A-Law and 16-bit linear PCM waveform data. These files can store digital multimedia objects, typically audio information. An SND file contains sound effects for computer games, music recordings, narration for multimedia presentations etc. and it can also store information regarding looping and certain other dynamic elements related to the sound track. Similar extensions include: .AIF, .WAV, .AU and others.
Conversion of SND Files to Other Formats
To use these audio files in other compatible programs, users must convert them to the supported format using specific software. Such conversion can be done with dedicated tools like ProTools Studio or Syntrillium Software's Cool Edit Pro. Additionally, users may use one of several web-based audio converters to convert SND format files to any popular music/audio format including MP3, AAC, WMA, OGG and many more.

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