A legacy recorder or audio application may save recordings as ADV, while an editor or playback system may require WAV. Converting the recording makes it usable in software that accepts standard WAV audio.

What the ADV format is

ADV is not a single widely standardized audio format, so the extension alone may not identify the file’s encoding or the program that created it. It is most likely to be encountered as an application- or device-specific audio file; check the recorder or software that produced it for its export options and format details.

What the WAV format is

WAV is a widely supported audio container, commonly used for uncompressed PCM audio. It is suitable for editing, playback, and interchange, but uncompressed WAV files are generally larger than compressed audio files.

How to convert ADV to WAV

Online on 101convert.com

Open the ADV-to-WAV converter page on 101convert.com and upload the ADV file. Multiple files can be added for batch conversion.
Choose WAV as the output format and start the conversion.
Download the converted WAV file or files. The page shows the per-file size limit.

Offline with desktop software

Audacity is free and available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Install its FFmpeg library if needed, then try File → Import → Audio and select the ADV file. If Audacity can decode it, use File → Export Audio and choose WAV; select 16-bit PCM for broad compatibility.

FFmpeg is a free command-line option for Windows, macOS, and Linux, provided the installed build recognizes the ADV file’s underlying format. Run ffmpeg -i input.adv -c:a pcm_s16le output.wav. If FFmpeg reports an unsupported or unrecognized input, use the software or device that created the file to export it; changing the extension to .wav does not convert the audio.

Quality and compatibility

WAV export does not restore detail lost in a compressed ADV recording. Converting to 16-bit PCM may also change the source’s bit depth, but it produces a broadly compatible WAV; retain the original ADV as a source copy.
