Binary Domain has a sick soundtrack and although some people have ripped it via a capture card from their xbox/ps3 sitting idle in the game as the music plays I wanted the original HQ tracks so I experimented and found a method to get them out.

Tools needed
    CRI Packed File Maker
    HCA2WAV
    SFIV Audio Manager


There are some other tools which also work like the cpk quickbms script but these I found do the job well and have more functionality.

Steps
Step1.

Go to directory
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Binary Domain\sound\

or if you have a different version of the game (non-steam china copy) go to the root\sound\ folder

here are the audio streams for the game.

I'm going to be going through on how to extract the music so what we want to look at is

stream.cpk

Open up CRI Packed File Maker

http://puu.sh/3ga3l.png

Click here and load the stream.cpk, once it has loaded and the listbox populated you will see all the audio streams.

Locate one of the bgm_ files in this tutorial case I'm using
bgm_vs_spider.cpk
and extract it!


http://puu.sh/3ga7A.png

You will get a .aax file output

bgm_vs_spider_fin_wav.aax


Fire up SFIV Audio Manager

http://puu.sh/3ga9M.png

Extract the .aax pack to a new folder

Now using HCA2WAV


you can convert it to a wav file.

NOTE SFIV's extractor for binarydomain's ADX files don't work so we use HCA2WAV


HCA2WAV.exe bgm_vs_spider_wav.001.adx DUMPSONG.wav pause


Once it has been converted I use audacity to merge all the files
-start
-loop
-end

and then save it out as song.wav

Thats it, this concept can be applied to the sound files like speech dialogue as well just some of the files need to be converted from AIX2 to ADX using
aix2adx.exe


Thanks for reading hope this is helpful I guess,

Can this guide be updated? Maybe add some images since the links are busted? I've tried this guide but couldn't make things work. I have an aax file but i can't convert it to wav. It would be more helpful if we could have an updated guide to work with.

K. Constantine Yea it does, you can extract CS_VOICE.cpk out from the stream.cpk (there are more tho, like CS_VOICE_J.cpk and so on).

The link to the tool pack is busted.

Can you reupload and additionally, can this extract voice lines?
