Check the folder with the same name as your AFS file then find the WVA files inside there.

Not yet. First extract the WVA files with the extraction script I've posted on the first reply with QuickBMS.
Then you can convert/reconvert back the audio with XboxADPCM. Pay attention to the filenames though, as it must be the same as the default ones or at least defined (If using other than default) in the ini file generated by the extraction script.

After you've done, then run the builder script by pointing it to the generated ini file.

MP3? The resulting format was WAV. Don't convert the results of the audio extraction it to mp3 again.
Just WAV is enough.

The audio was using Xbox ADPCM codec, so you'll need a media player that supports it (IIRC Foobar has the support for it. Better yet, install vgmstream plugin for full support) or install a audio codec.
