Audio Extraction failed "failed due to unsupported compression..." #4

Hi, i got a hold of the Wii version of Skylanders Spyro's Adventure and used it in conjunction with your tool, opening .arc files but it seems to fail extracting the audio files saying : "failed due to unsupported compression..."

The files seem to be in the .wav.hz.wav.enc format

Yeah on ssa wii, the audio is stored in the FSB4 format with Nintendo's own DSP encoding (also called GCADPCM) I used a tool called fsbext to extract this into a format called genh, I then used vgmstream (download the test.zip file from the releases tab) to convert this into something usable

Yes, it's a process, but hey that's video game modding for ya

Ah thank you so much, i was starting to loose my mind. I've been tirelessly trying to get a hold of the Audio Sequences which are used for the final Kaos Battle in Skylanders Spyro's Adventure.

I still have a slight issue though, dunno if you can help me with that. I've found all of the audio used for each Phase during the battle but 1 which is quite important for me.

The first phase i found however sounds more like this however:
