Baldur's Gate voice .wavs and music

[Zarathustra]

Anyone know what file their? In? Do I need some sort of ripper to listen to
them?

[THOR]

A common complaint and so far no one has an answer.

However, there is a website that has all the NPCs voices available for
download if you want to use them in Custom Sounds for your PCs.

Regretably you CAN NOT use your wave program to hear these files. But if
you import them into your custom Sounds directory you will be able to hear
them when appling the sound to a PC.

Why is this so? If I knew that, I'd be working for BioWare on BG2: The
Spear of Amm (That's my joke title).

You have certain audio compression codec regestered with windows, if you dont
have the right codec for that compression type windows might not like it, bg
will probably have it inbuilt to save problems in game.

to see what compression types you have open control panel > multimedia
properties > advanced tab > audio compression

i have about 10 audio codecs at the moment, you occasionaly get one with a
program. heres my codecs

Microsoft IMA ADPCM CODEC
Microsoft ADPCM CODEC
Microsoft GSM 6.10 Audio CODEC
Microsoft CCITT G.711 A-Law and U-Law CODEC
DSP Group TrueSpeech(TM) Software CODEC *
Lernout & Hauspie CODECs
Microsoft Network Audio CODEC
Creative ADPCM CODEC
Creative Fastspeech 8 and FastSpeech 10 CODEC
Microsoft PCM Converter

*think this is related to a speech synthesizer

I was looking for this for the longest time too, and just found this
the other day on a fallout2 page:

http://www.fragland.net/madcow/files/acm2wav.zip

This little file can convert the .acm music files to .wav format.
It was meant to work with Fallout 2, but it works with BG's files
fine.

(I'd link to the page the file is on and not the file itself, but
the html on that page appears to be broken, at least on IE5.0 and
NN4.5.)
