Overview

VOC is the filename extension for the Creative Voice file format. It was developed by Creative Labs for storing digital uncompressed PCM audio data for playback on their Sound Blaster boards. Though VOC was initially limited to unsigned 8-bit PCM and ADPCM data, it has been expanded to handle 16-bit formats and a-law and u-law compressed formats with the power of sound cards increased.
