Sonarc is a lossless audio codec, and associated software. It was developed by an organization named "Speech Compression", and Richard P. Sprague.
There are three file formats associated with it:
- .WV: A WAV file that uses Sonarc compression.
- .VC: A format used when Sonarc compresses VOC format.
- .SNC: A format used when Sonarc compresses raw PCM data.

[edit] Identification
WV is a kind of WAV file. ASCII "fmt " usually appears at offset 12, and if so, bytes (hex) 21 00 at offset 20 distinguish WV from other kinds of WAV.
VC files start with ASCII "Sonarc-squeezed VOC", then byte 0x1a.
SNC files apparently start with ASCII "Sonarc-squeezed PCM file.", then byte 0x1a.

VC:
- [2] → *.VC
