Hello, can you add a .bat to yout SamplerX2 program, because I want to do this for all files in the directory, not just one by one. Thanks!

And here's this LWAV which was made by header_XADP script, and basically when you convert this LWAV with towav, there's no fuzzy sound, but if you use vgmstream, there's.

Yeah, but you can see the differences between vgmstream and towav for LWAV files

No, because this file is not decoded neither by vgmstream nor towav

Oh, sorry, here's the correct LWAV, test to convert it with towav and vgmstream, you'll see a TINY difference, towav remove a little bit the fuzzy noise.

The difference is not TINY, it's clearly hearable. But this has nothing to do with lwav or its "ability" to remove fuzzy distortions.

The problem is that vgmstream decodes this file wrong (because of some mistake in the code, or wrong codec detection) and towav converts it right.

But why when I'm playing the game on Xbox, there's no fuzzy sound?

Because the sound is filtered somehow, just a slight smoothing filter should work.

Do you know how can I apply this to the file itself?

Open some audio editor, and apply some filter. Click removal, noise removal, or just a simple frequency filter should work.
