Listening to Voiceovers files in the Soundvoices file

Recommended Posts

Within the Soundvoices file there a lots of wav audio files that are the audio files and voice overs for nearly all NPC's in the game like Vrook, Kreia, Dol Gren etc but there is no way to actually listen to them (At least for me). When I do the file goes for 0 seconds and I get an error message every time I try to listen to them (Same goes for K1 but i'm more interested in TSL). I tried to force my way to list to one using a third party software but I ended up listening to a loud static sound.

 

The reason why I want to listen to them is to see if there are still any cut lines that may prove useful whether they were for cut things like the GenoHaradan or the Holocron Sidequest or whatever.

 

So what I am asking for is there a way to actually listen to the wav files.

The files are basically MP3s with a fake WAV header. If you trim off the first 58 bytes and save it as an MP3, that should fix the issue. WinAmp seems to just ignore the header and play them regardless if you just rename them to MP3.

 

I think the music may be a little different, at least in TSL's case. Perhaps someone like Fair Strides could look at these and come up with a program to automate the process:

I use Media Player Classic to play them. Works for both StreamVoice and StreamMusic folders.

 

IIRC, WinAmp also can play them.
