Extracting Vorbis from FSB Files

So.

I bought a Unity game from Steam which had phenomenal music.
I used a QuickBMS script and extracted several FSB files. In order to play them, I installed the VGMStream plugin onto Foobar2000.
Here’s what happened:

As you can see, half of the files are playable, half of them are not. The unplayable ones come up with this error when attempted to be played:

Then I went on and installed Aezay’s FSB Extractor to identify and hopefully extract the files.
Playable files show up as:

They’re stored in PCM format. Foobar recognises that.
Then here are the unplayable ones:

They’re Vorbis. Which Foobar cannot recognise. Annoying.
I’ve tried so many methods of decoding the FSBs and hopefully extracting a playable file. I’ve used a lot of different programs such as:
FSBExt; Aezay; FSBii; GuessFSB; and a lot more.

And there’s been no luck. Nothing extracts correctly. The closest I got was a .OGG.DAT file, which was apparently recognised as a straight .OGG file, with the right filesize to be believable as the full track, but importing it into Audacity or some other audio editing program, it’s a .5 second static noise.
Woo.

Here’s a link to a playable track: http://www.mediafire.com/download/d51xvbytlcanoxx/sharedassets3%7EHorrorCue2.fsb
Here’s a link to an unplayable track: http://www.mediafire.com/download/eplshpm7me8d6jf/sharedassets4%7EFacehugger_Swarm_Music.fsb
I’d appreciate it if somebody could do some testing to see if they are able to play / convert it.
Thanks to anyone that helps.

That’s probably because these unplayable fsbs contain compressed header-riff/raw. You need something to decode them correctly.
fsb_aud_extr by id-daemon2 shall do it.

Seems logical. Do you have a link to that program?
Edit: Nevermind, I found it.
I’ll report back.

You are an absolute life saver! I’ve been trying to do this for months!
Thank you so much. Reputation is heading your way.

Those file names look like sound effects, by the way.

A lot of them are sound effects because every sound file is included in there.

Woah, you finally did it? Bravo!

T-1000, I had no idea you were so knowledgeable about these things.

Massive thanks to T-1000.

These types of video games sounds are information packets used by FMOD audio software engine. We just need to know how to decode the sound files correctly.

Credits goes to id-daemon2 for this little tool. Really impressive.

Woah, you finally did it? Bravo!

Haha. Yeah, Skelly. You remember last time we were talking about that matter?
I’m thankful to Alpha123 for his guidance, he kindly told me a lot of things and how to edit the raw and exact contents of these files. Very interesting.

It’s a little long-winded as I have to extract and rename all of the files individually but it’s a fantastic tool otherwise.

fsb_aud_extr by id-daemon2

That’s what I used!!

All I can go by is "fsb_aud_extr" but I think there was a dozen different authors and a dozen different builds out there.

But, that’s what I essentially used.

I had found id-deamon2’s tool here:

Forgot to bookmark this forum.
Xenhax had only an older, outdated version for the longest time, but I think id-deamon2 went back to update that thread.

It seems some stick to one forum for most of the time.

Well, I didn’t know you were there. Haha. Very useful place, indeed.
