Raw-audio is a headerless PCM sound file: nothing but the digital samples themselves, with no metadata, no compression, and no marker identifying where the audio begins. A WAV file is essentially the same data with a short descriptive header attached. Raw-audio appears most often as the output of audio hardware, DSP pipelines, and telephony systems, and as the intermediate stage between processing steps.
Import it into Audacity using File → Import → Raw Data. You will be asked for the encoding, byte order, channel count, and sample rate, since the file itself does not record them.
Common defaults are 16-bit signed PCM at 44,100 Hz or 48,000 Hz; telephony recordings are frequently 8-bit at 8,000 Hz. FFmpeg and SoX can play and convert raw-audio from the command line once you supply the same parameters. Save the result as WAV or MP3 so the settings travel with the file from then on. You can also convert the file with our RAW to MP3 tool.

Matroska (MKV) is a free, open-source, container standard that can hold an unlimited amount of audiovisual and multimedia files in a single file format. Since it is open source, a user can customize it with open-source software. The name derives from “Matryoshka” dolls, which is a famous type of Russian handicraft that consists of a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size nested one inside another.
The best way to open an MKV file is to use VLC media player. This media player is compatible with all operating systems and platforms. This is important because MKV is not an industry standard, which means that other media players might not support it.
Additionally, MKV does not use codecs to compress file size, which means the file can be quite large. Therefore, another option for opening an MKV file is to download the appropriate codecs that are compatible with the selected media player. To accomplish this, download the Combined Community Codec Pack (CCCP) from a trusted site, such as Ninite.
