Thank you. Awesome as always. I have a question though, is adding LWAV header and converting with toWAV will remove the unwanted fuzzy sound?

what is .lwav and how can it help remove the fuzzy sound?

ok new version of extractor that deals with block padding. Works with PS2 & PC now.

So now if you want extract PC, you need:

- extract files with names with this tool
- convert them with Ima_decoder
- double the rate with SamplerX2 (if you like)

Or right after extracting convert with Ima_decoder_x2

Hello, can you add a .bat to yout SamplerX2 program, because I want to do this for all files in the directory, not just one by one. Thanks!

I thought you could do it yourself

for %%a in (*.wav) do samplerx2 "%%a"

Yes sorry, seemed pretty easy...

And here's this LWAV which was made by header_XADP script, and basically when you convert this LWAV with towav, there's no fuzzy sound, but if you use vgmstream, there's.

ok. But this file has wrong codec type

Yeah, but you can see the differences between vgmstream and towav for LWAV files

No, because this file is not decoded neither by vgmstream nor towav

Oh, sorry, here's the correct LWAV, test to convert it with towav and vgmstream, you'll see a TINY difference, towav remove a little bit the fuzzy noise.

The difference is not TINY, it's clearly hearable. But this has nothing to do with lwav or its "ability" to remove fuzzy distortions.

The problem is that vgmstream decodes this file wrong (because of some mistake in the code, or wrong codec detection) and towav converts it right.

But why when I'm playing the game on Xbox, there's no fuzzy sound?

id-daemon, posted Wed May 18, 2016 8:42 pm (13501)

Because the sound is filtered somehow, just a slight smoothing filter should work.

Do you know how can I apply this to the file itself?

I don't understand

Open some audio editor, and apply some filter. Click removal, noise removal, or just a simple frequency filter should work.
