.snt files aren't played through Windows Media Player, you open them with a Text Editor, like Notepad++. The .ogg files are what you should be playing through an external player, such as Windows Media Player (if Windows Media Player supports .ogg files). If not, then something like VideoLan or VLC player will play them for you.

If you can't see the ".snt" filename, then, assuming you're on a Windows, learn how to show your file extensions using the steps here: https://www.howtohaven.com/system/show-f...orer.shtml

If your files have become damaged, a Steam File Integrity Check if your game is on Steam, or a reinstall should fix it. However, the issue you've outlined just sounds like you have just made Windows Media Player open .snt files, which don't affect them in any way.

Perhaps you just chose the "Target program" for .snt files? This doesn't change anything about the file, just how you want to open it.
Right-click the file and choose "Open with", then pick "Choose another application" and when you've found the right one, remember to tick "Always use this application".

I recommend Notepad++or Geany. If you have none of those, just use Notepad.

Trying is the first step to success.

The issue is that you've set a default program, like Flawless says, to the .snt extension.
In addition, you also have "Known extensions hidden", which is a setting in Windows Explorer. To enable extensions (which I recommend) click on the View tab, then check the box for "File name extensions".

Once that is done, to reset the default program, again, as Flawless says, right click one of them and choose "Open with > choose another app" which will give you a window where you can pick an app. If Notepad is not in the list, click "choose another app on this PC".

Ignore the .png extension in the image. Yours should say .snt.
If you have Notepad++, I recommend it instead.
