Audio

FreeMote supports extract/repack audio files in sound_archive type PSB with FreeMote.Plugins official plugins.

However, it relies on some external tools, and FreeMote releases don't include them by default. If you want to extract the specific audio, read this wiki carefully and find the tool you need by yourself, and put it into a Tools folder alongside the FreeMote tools. Your FreeMote directory should then look like this:

FreeMote
│  FreeMote.LICENSE.txt
│  FreeMoteViewer.exe
│  ...
│
├─lib
│      FreeMote.dll
│      ...
│
├─Plugins
│      FreeMote.YourCustomPlugin.dll
│      ...
│
└─Tools
        at9tool.exe
        xWMAEncode.exe
        vagconv2.exe

Currently, only audio with single channel is supported. I haven't received any PSB sample with multiple channels audio. If you met one, please send it to me for research.

Legends:

Notes: You can set AT9 encode bitrate using "At9BitRate": 60 in resx.json Context. By default FreeMote is using 96, which is the best quality for single channel audio. However some games is using 60 for a smaller size.
