What is a .G722 file?
A .G722 file is a type of audio file that uses a special method to store sound, known as the G.722 codec. This method is good at making sure that the sound, especially when people are talking, is clear and of high quality. It does this while keeping the file sizes relatively small, which is very useful for sending these sounds over the internet. The G.722 codec is designed to work well with sounds up to 7 kHz, which covers most of the range of human speech, and it can adjust how much data it uses (between 48, 56, and 64 kbit/s) depending on the need.
These .G722 files were often used in systems that let people talk to each other over the internet, like in some office phone systems or in software that helps computers talk to each other using voice (VoIP applications). Some examples of these applications are Asterisk and Incredible PBX. However, as technology has advanced, newer ways of saving these types of audio files have been developed, and they are now more commonly used than the G.722 codec.
If you have a .G722 file that you want to listen to or work with, there are specific programs that can open it. One such program is FFmpeg, which is a very powerful tool that can handle a wide variety of audio and video formats, including .G722 files. Another option is File Viewer Plus, which you can download from the Microsoft store. This program is designed to open and work with many different types of files, making it a handy tool to have. Both of these programs can help you play or convert .G722 files into other formats that might be more compatible with other devices or software you're using.
