High Quality Audio Replacer Mod - KnightKiller

[Neoyoshi]

Thanks to KnightKiller we have a audio replacer for pretty much everything except the last 2 cutscenes in the game. There is a optional audio file for the last two cutscenes.

Please go thank KnightKiller for their work.

Nice. Much thanks to the modding community for bringing MGS 2 and 3 to acceptable standards.

Reminder that this just reworks the cutscenes and codec calls though. Everything else is still screwed (the alert sound effect in MGS3 is the worst offender)

I notice something interesting. If you leave a music playing in windows media player then launch MGS3 for example, the sound of the game's start screen will swallow the music and crush down its volume. Something truly disgusting is happening with the audio output in this collection.

The game takes over the audio device? Is it using something like WASAPI Exclusive?

Because according to someone that datamined the game, the audio isn't actually compressed. The audio channel Konami uses is making it sound that way
