Hello, everyone! I recently got into digging through the files of an old, but gold Xbox Arcade Game: Hexic HD. After exporting the files, I wanted to look through the audio, as it was really the main event for me. To my surprise, I didn't get .wav or .xma files at least, but .flv files that I can't open with any audio player for the life of me.
I uploaded all 29 sounds files here.
Here is a picture of the header, I don't know what else to do, Wavepad, VLC, EkszBox-ABX, towav.exe, none of them will open them or convert them.
Weird .flv files, can't convert/listen to them (Hexic HD)

0x165 is the codec for XMA which can be converted with ffmpeg.
So remove the first 0x19 bytes of the FLV header, dump the remaining data as .wav and then: ffmpeg -i input.wav output.wav
Now you can play output.wav with any player.
*edit* fixed syntax

Unrecognized option "o". Sorry, I never Hex Edited ever before... I don't know which are the first 0x19 bytes either...

Hexic HD Sounds
Here you go
Transcoded into PCM WAV from XMA using vgmstream.
I have also included the original XMA streams just in case anyone else wants them.

My mistake on the -o option, don't know how it went there...

I have a similar request / problem, but with .flv files that wont play from UNO, they were embedded in / contained in a .swf file which I decompiled and the .flv audio clips are not playable, if anyone could help me make them playable / convert them that would be great! I have attached a zip with all the files in.
