Hi there Robert P Nunez,

 

Looks like you are skipping a step or two when trying to open the file, so it cannot be opened.

 

Sonic Visualiser requires an audio file to be loaded before you can open the FLAC file. That is why before trying to open it you should load any kind of audio file. You can do that easily via the first menu item – File and choosing the load audio option. 

 

Once you have the audio file loaded you will be able to open the FLAC file too.

 

Just in case, you should also check the permissions on the folder /media/vault/docs/phd/data/rabbits/cough/audio/ and files placed inside.

 

Best regards,

Drake Vivian
