About VOC Files

A .voc file is an audio file saved in the Creative Labs Voice (VOC) format, an early digital audio format developed for Sound Blaster sound cards. VOC files store sampled sound data and may include metadata blocks that define playback parameters such as sample rate, bit depth, and looping information. Game developers relied on the format to deliver sound effects, speech clips, and short music segments on systems with limited storage and processing power.

VOC files were widely used in the late 1980s and 1990s in MS-DOS games, educational software, and early multimedia programs that supported Sound Blaster hardware. Today, VOC files are most commonly encountered by retro gaming enthusiasts, archivists, and developers working with classic PC software.

Converting VOC Files

You can convert .voc files to several other formats to improve compatibility:

• Converting to MP3: Creates a widely supported audio file that is easy to share and play on most devices, although it compresses the original VOC audio, reducing fidelity.
• Converting to AAC: Encodes the audio using an efficient lossy compression method that typically delivers better sound quality than MP3 at similar bitrates, resulting in smaller files that are widely supported by modern devices, media players, and streaming services.
