Different file extensions work with different programs, and it can be difficult to figure out which program opens which files. Here are a few programs that usually work with WVE files:

  • Component of a DIVX Movie Conversion
  • Psion Series 3a/3c/3mx Waveform Sound File

You can download one of these programs from the software developer’s website.

2. Look at the file type.

The file type can sometimes tell you which program might open the file. If you have WVE files, they are most likely types of Audio Files. A program that works with Audio Files should open WVE files.

Don’t know the file type? You can find it by right-clicking the file and selecting “Properties” or “More Info.” The file type will be listed under “Type of File” or “Kind”.

3. Check with the software developer.

Try contacting the developer of one of the programs mentioned above. They can help you figure out why your WVE file won’t open. Some of the most common developers are listed below.
