VOC File Format

Creative Sound Blaster VOC category

VOC is the Sound Blaster native audio format — the sound of every DOS game from the late 80s and early 90s.

Typical use: Convert VOC retro-game audio to WAV or MP3.

About the VOC format

VOC is the Creative Sound Blaster format — if a DOS game made a sound between 1989 and 1994, it was probably a VOC: 8-bit samples at exotic sample rates, with loop points, silence blocks and hardware-specific appendices that made each card sing differently.

ffmpeg decodes the standard sample blocks and converts VOC to WAV or MP3 — the cheapest time machine for retro-game audio.
