Making Sounds From Halo "Playable"

Moron66213 · Post by **Moron66213** » Fri Apr 16, 2004 5:06 pm

I was wondering if there is a way to make the sounds you export from halo (such as the pistol firing noise) into playable .wav files. I can get the .ogg files to work because I have an ogg converter, but when I export and ADPCM .wav files, I can never get them to play, because I get an error. Is there a way I can change this?

yeah i know... ADPCM .wav format.

a codec is a kind of decoder.

kinda like divx for .avi video.

Meh. Use hmt 2. You can extract sounds, rename to mp3 or w/e and play it in windows media player. Although with 3.0 Mono screwed up as it seems as it doesn't work on rename..

I do have HMT 2. You can find it from site to site. Anyway, I did extract the sound using HMT 2, it just won't play. Try it, there is a program in HMT 2 that you use to convert regular wave files into ones that can be used in halo. Unfortunanly, once you convert them, you can't listen to the converted one because your computer wont play it for some reason. Not the right type i guess. Anyway, when you extract a sound, it is still in that unplayable format. I just want to know how I can get it to play!

yea, I know that too, also the bit about a codec. what I was saying is that it should play under 90% of applications that play sound.

What do you mean by this. Simply renaming it to an mp3 doesnt work, and my converter wont convert it into an mp3.

there funny thing is, the ADPCM codec first came from the Xbox, halo Xbox uses it too.

1 Download and extract xb_adpcm_codec. Open up the folder

2 Right click "XBADPCMinst.inf", then click install.

3 When installation is complete:

-Go to your Device Manager
-Double click "Audio Codecs"
-Go to the Properties tab
-Double click "Xbox ADPCM Audio CODEC"
-Be sure "Use this audio codec" is enabled
-Change codec priority to 1

this should install the codec and then u should be able to hear sound when u play those .wav.
