    Downloaded the fsb extractor so I make the resulting files playable. Which are encoded in ADPCM and in a wave container.

    What do you mean as "not playable"? :confused:

    I extracted both PA_Music.fsb and PA_SFX.fsb and all wav files are playable without any problem. Not sure if audio player I using available for Windows, but those WAVs also playable in VLC for example.

    So most likely you just need to download proper audio player.

    ADPCM, the audio format of Doom.
    Took me ages to find a reliable way to extract ADPCM from .fsb and convert them in a way the music could be correctly played.
    I'm not on my personal computer right now, so can't remember what i used to do so, but i'll check this evening an update my post.

    I don't know why i can't edit my post...
    Well, i remembered how i made to extract music from the .fsb, then convert the ADPCM to something else :
    MusicPlayerEx.
    Was easy to use and the result files were completly functionnal.
    Then i used Audacity to rework the files a little and convert them to .aac.
