Error opening file for writing clownfish

Clownfish Voice Changer is an application and language translator for many communication apps, video games, as a voice assistant, or voice chat. It is an installation package for changing the sound of your voice. Clownfish uses a microphone or any other audio capture device to change your voice using Steam, Skype, Hangouts,  Discord, etc.

There are many features, such as real-time translation in dozens of different languages and support for voice changes.

Clownfish is one of the most important voice exchange applications on the Internet.

Despite its popularity, clownfish sometimes causes errors. An error will occur if Clownfish is not compatible with Skype. In other cases, clownfish will not function completely on your computer.

For example, there are various reasons for this technical problem.

For example, the version of Skype is incompatible, or the microphones are not synchronized. We already mentioned many ways to solve this problem.

How To Fix Clownfish Voice Changer



1. Check the version of Skype

Microsoft officially answered this question, claiming that computers without SSE2 commands are not compatible with the latest version of Skype.

If Skype is not completely compatible with your device, various features will not be activated.

SSE2 (Streaming SIMD Extensions 2) is one of the first Intel SIMD (single data multiplexed data) instruction sets with Pentium 4+.

Currently, SSE2 is almost universally applicable to the computer market. If you are using an older processor, you need to check the version of Skype installed on your computer.

Microsoft has officially announced that the new Skype app does not properly support Clownfish.

• Launch the Skype app installed on your computer. When the application opens, click on the profile photo in the upper left corner of the window.
• A new window is displayed. Select “About this version” from the list of options now.
• Below are the details of the available versions will be presented. If you have an older computer, we recommend that you download version 7.5. We hope that you will be able to use Clownfish correctly after the release.

2. Set the microphone on clown fish

Clownfish uses a microphone to identify the sound of your voice. The application then changes it by adjusting the custom pitch, or tone.

Clownfish works fine if the microphone is not properly installed or the wrong driver is installed if the mic is installed after the clownfish voice changer app is opened.

Note: You also need to check if the microphone is working. Before making this decision, make sure to use a recording test or a Skype Echo test. These fixes will not work if the microphone is not working properly or is not damaged.

• Open the Clownfish app on your computer using the taskbar in the lower right corner. Also, right click on the icon and select “Settings.”
• Here you can see all available units to change your list. Choose to work properly and click Install. After attaching the microphone, restart your computer to see if the current issue has been resolved.

Note: If you have already installed the device on Clownfish instead of the Install button, the Remove button will be available. Remove the device and reinstall it.

3. Update The Clownfish Version

Clownfish works hard to keep up with all the apps it offers (Discord, Skype, etc.). Frequent updates are still required to fix errors and incompatibilities.

You may be using the latest version of the communication application (such as Skype or Discord), but you have a previous version of Clownfish installed.

4.Install The Application in The Default folder

If Clownfish is still enabled, you can install the application in the default folder. By default, when installing the application on your computer.

It will refer to the original installation location provided by the installer. Many of you have not installed it on a standard block. Instead, select a unit other than D or E.

• Click Windows + R, enter “appwiz.cpl” in the dialog and press Enter. Find Clownfish in the list of apps, right click and select Uninstall.
• After cancellation, please visit the official website and download the latest version.
• Run the installer now. If the installation path option is displayed, do not change the installation path. Click on Next. This is an example of installing on a 64-bit system. The location of 32-bit systems is slightly different.
• After installation, restart your computer to see if the current issue has been resolved.

Note: If the problem persists, you should compete with antivirus.

Clownfish Sound Player Not Working

If you have a problem with clownfish music player not working or if the clownfish voice changer is not working for you, check out the video below to find out how to fix it. 

In this case, it can not be used under optimal conditions.

We recommend that you visit Clownfish’s official website, download the latest version and install accordingly. After installation, restart your computer to see if the current issue has been resolved.

Note: You can also start the computer in safe mode to see if the external application conflicts with Clownfish.

If Clownfish is operating in safe mode (as expected), this means that the problem is caused by a third party application. You can then filter the application by opening and typing each iteration.

If you find an that may be interfering with Clownfish, delete it from your operating system and restart your computer.

How To Use ClownFish Voice Changer For Discord



Clownfish, как любая программа, иногда работает со сбоями либо вызывает неполадки в функционировании компьютера, в частности, звуковой подсистемы ПК. Разберёмся с самыми распространёнными проблемами, с которыми сталкиваются пользователи программой «Рыба-клоун».

Напоминаем, что скачать Clownfish можно на нашем сайте по прямой ссылке.

Микрофон отказывается функционировать

Иногда после Clownfish не работает микрофон. Обычно устройство записи звука во время установки либо удаления программы не затрагивается. Если голос не передаётся в определённом приложении, например, Дискорд, зайдите в его настройки и убедитесь, что выбрано верное устройство звукозаписи. Возможно, параметры приложения сбились, и вместо физического в нём нужно выбрать виртуальный микрофон. После запуска Clownfish запрашивает доступ к Скайпу. Если программе доверяете, разрешите ей вмешиваться в функционирование Skype.

Если проблема не решится, удалите звуковой драйвер, перезагрузите компьютер и установите его заново.

Второе решение описано в следующем подразделе – в настройках программы нужно указать нужный вам микрофон.

Программа не искажает голос, что делать?

Иногда Clownfish Voice Changer не меняет голос.

Проблема решается несколькими способами.

1. Закройте Скайп или иное приложение, где хотите изменить голос, завершите работу Clownfish.
2. Зайдите в каталог со Skype и переименуйте файл RtmCodecs.dll.
3. Запустите программу и проигнорируйте сообщение об ошибке.
4. После закройте Скайп, переименуйте файл обратно. Ошибка должна исчезнуть.

Второй способ – использование предыдущей версии Skype – удалите текущую, инсталлируйте предпоследнюю версию программы и проверьте, работает ли функция изменения звука – позвоните Sound Test Service.

Далее: убедитесь, что в настройках «Рыбы-клоуна» выбрано нужное устройство: кликните по иконке приложения в трее, выберите «Конфигурация», далее – «Microphone», затем – отметьте флажком нужный микрофон.

Убедитесь, что функция изменения голоса включена: кликните правой клавишей по иконке Clownfish Voice Changer, выберите в выпадающем списке опцию «Установить смену голоса» (название может отличаться), если опция не активирована. Также через контекстное меню включите работу приложения.

Удаление программы

Рассмотрим, как удалить Clownfish полностью с установленными дополнительными эффектами и пользовательскими настройками. Лучше всего это делать через приложение-деинсталлятор, например, Revo Uninstaller либо его аналоги. Стандартный инструмент «Приложения и возможности» запускает только интегрированный деинсталлятор, от оставшихся мусорных файлов и записей в реестре, касающихся Clownfish, он не избавит.

1. Запустите Revo Uninstaller.
2. Рекомендуется завершить работу Clownfish и всех связанных программ, хотя делать это не обязательно.
3. Отыщите приложение в списке установленных в операционной системе, кликните по нему, затем – щёлкните по кнопке «Удалить».

• Запустится интегрированный деинсталлятор – кликните в его окне «Uninstall», затем – закройте окно с поздравлением об успешном завершении операции.

• Вернитесь к Revo Uninstaller – кликните «Поиск», чтобы отыскать оставшиеся после работы приложения ключи реестра.

• Кликните «Выделить всё», затем – «Удалить».

При наличии оставшихся файлов также кликните «Выделить всё» и избавьтесь от них через Revo Uninstaller.

Как настроить интерфейс программы?

Как такового пользовательского интерфейса в Clownfish нет. Главная рабочая область приложения – контекстное меню, выпадающее вследствие правого щелчка по пиктограмме приложения в трее. Для перевода интерфейса на другой язык щёлкните по программе, перейдите в раздел «Язык интерфейса» и выберите подходящий.

Второе, что можно изменить, это тема оформления или шкурка. Через правый клик вызовите подменю «Конфигурация», в выпадающем списке «Color Theme» выберите цветовую схему.

Увидеть изменения сможете, например, в окне музыкального проигрывателя, модуле «Ассистент голоса» и прочих второстепенных элементах интерфейса.
