The Type column in Explorer is determined by inspecting the file extension not the contents of the file. It is easy for SONAR to export a file with .5 as the extension by added the extension when naming the file. For example, if I use
test.5 as the file name in the export dialog an audio file called test.5 will be created. It will show a type of
5 File but will be the format specified in the export dialog.
