Cannot read ogg files [The Force Unleashed 2]

Post by amgb »

Hello,

Strangely, I didn't need to use QuickBMS to find the audio files of The Force Unleashed 2 games (I guess). However, there is always something that goes wrong, there are a lot of ogg files but even foobar can't read them.

Here is in attachment a sample of the ogg files. Does anyone know how to read them ?

Your samples all play fine for me in Foobar - try updating vgmstream maybe, that sometimes works!

@amgb: Change extension for those files from ogg to wem, this way they should be playable in latest foobar version. Apparently latest foobar + latest vgmstream combination (or just foobar itself) has issues with proper recognition of some files if they're already associated with different program, it's not even possible to add those ogg files to playlist as-is, foobar simply ignores them (it's possible to add them in 1.6.8 and below).

When installing vgstream from this link (what I did before), I still get the error message while the latest version is installed. However, converting them to wem seems to work. I'll try to convert all the files I need.

Thanks, once again !
