About AIX Files

An .aix file is an audio file saved in the AIX Audio format, a multi-channel audio format developed by CRI Middleware for use in Sega video games. AIX files typically store multiple ADX audio streams within a single container, allowing developers to play separate channels simultaneously for surround sound or dynamic mixing. This storage method made the format especially helpful for games that required interactive or layered audio, such as background music that changed intensity based on gameplay.

Sega Dreamcast and PlayStation 2 platforms primarily used AIX files since they provided efficient storage and playback of high-quality multi-channel audio. They are often found within game data archives or extracted from game discs by modders and preservationists. Users can open and play .aix files on FileHelper.com by dragging them to this page.

Converting AIX Files

You can convert .aix files to other formats to improve compatibility:

• Converting to MP3: Makes the audio playable on nearly all devices and media players, though it applies additional lossy compression that slightly reduces audio quality compared to the original file.
• Converting to AAC: Provides efficient compression and good sound quality, producing smaller files than MP3 while maintaining compatibility with many modern devices and streaming platforms.
