📋 About This Mod
The audio modding tool (wwiseutil) is a tool for manipulating Wwise SoundBank files (`.bnk` or `.nbnk`) and File Packages (`.pck` or `.npck`). These are the files that MH:W uses to package audio into the game. The tool currently support the following features with both a GUI or command line tool:
-
[]Unpacking: An input SoundBank or File Package can be unpacked, writing all of the embedded `.wem` files to a directory. ww2ogg can then be used to convert the `.wem` files to a playable Ogg Vorbis format.
[
]Replacing: The `.wem` files within a source can be replaced. All metadata stored within the file will be updated to support the replacement `.wem`s. Replacement `.wem` files are allowed to be larger or smaller than the original embedded `wem`.[]Loop Editing: Currently, loop editing of basic sound effects is supported. Support for different looping mechanisms will be supported in the future. Loop editing is currently only supported in the GUI.
I have some instructions available here that walks you through how to use the tool to modify the game's music/audio, which I'll be updating over time.
If you'd like to find a labelled list of what assets map to what in-game audio, you can find a link to that here. Thanks to elliotbw and Asterisk for creating and moderating that list.
If you encounter a bug with the tool, or have any tool-specific requests, feel free to file a bug here and I'll take a look. If you'd like to follow progress/releases on the tool or contribute to it, you can find the GitHub page for the project here:

I plan to add the following features to the tool soon:
-
[]More complex loop editing that handles the different types of loops that the game uses.
[]An audio-player in the tool.
[]Ability to import/export directly from mp3s.
- The ability to edit/view SonudBank hierarchy objects outside of simple wems.
Feel free to post this tool elsewhere, but please give credit to hpxro7 and link to the tool's GitHub page above :). Happy modding!

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community trust with 580 endorsements and over 15k downloads.
- Flexible for both casual users (GUI) and power users (command-line).
- Covers all audio types—music, SFX, and voices—in one tool.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not support newer game updates or DLC.
- No explicit mention of compatibility with Iceborne or post-launch content.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter game files, as audio edits may overlap.
For Monster Hunter: World players who want to customize their audio experience, whether swapping in favorite tracks or replacing annoying voice lines. Also great for modders who need a reliable extraction tool for audio assets. Skip if you're not interested in audio modding or play on console.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use the GUI for simple tasks like extracting a single sound effect; the command-line is better for batch processing.
- Back up your original audio files before modifying, so you can revert if something goes wrong.
- Check if the tool requires the game to be updated to a specific version; older tools may break with newer patches.
