How to open file with .XSB extension?

Don’t you know what program to use to convert the .XSB file? Do you want to convert a .XSB file into a different format? Below you will find helpful information.

File extension .XSB

Full Name Developer Category
XACT Sound Bank Microsoft Audio Files
.XSB

An XSB file is a sound bank, or.sbnk, file that has been compressed with XACT (Cross-platform Audio Creation Tool) Compression. It is primarily used with the Microsoft Windows gaming platform and Xbox 360 games. The soundbank file contains audio clips and records that enable the game to access sound-related data during the game's runtime. XSB files can be created, viewed, and edited using the XACT program, which is included in Microsoft Visual Studio.

Other Aspects of the XSB File Format

The XSB format was developed by Microsoft and is based on the wave container format, .waf, which can hold data from various audio formats such as PCM wave files (.wav), ADPCM wave files ( adpcm), Adaptive Differential Pulse Code Modulation files ( .aif) or MPEG-3 Layer-3 files ( .mp3). When saved within the XSB container, audio data is compressed to ensure that smaller amounts of data can be transferred quickly in online multiplayer game play. Similar formats are: SB2, SB3, SBK, SFS, PSN.

After installing the required software, the operating system will usually automatically associate an unknown file type (in this case .XSB) 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 .XSB 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 .XSB 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 .XSB 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 .XSB extension. Select a different software from our list and install it on your computer. After the software is installed, repeat inspection openings of a .XSB file. Sometimes you have to repeat the operation several times.

Other instructions

If none of the programs listed by us to work with the .XSB 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 .XSB file, or any other file format. In addition, there is a chance that it will be a free program, and its functionality (concerning the .XSB file) will be extended to the maximum.

It is also good to check

  • if the .XSB file has no errors
  • or if it has been copied (or downloaded by the browser) thoroughly
In such a case it is best to try to download the .XSB file again from the same source on the Internet (or look for another source). If you received the file from another person, ask this person to re-send it. However, if the file was copied from some media, repeat the copying operation.
