CVU to SOU conversion is the process of transforming audio files stored in the CVU format into the SOU format so they can be played, edited, or distributed on systems that require SOU. This conversion remaps CVU's codec containers, metadata tags, and channel layout into SOU's compressed or lossless options while preserving sampling rate and bit depth where possible.
