Check out the videos, 0:20 is the best start for comparison.
Sources: lossless WAV image from the old official SoC website (tracks have been patched at start/end with 1C SE OGG/CS WAV sources to eliminate crossfades), Clear Sky bonus disc (WAV), and a handful of OGG files from 1C's Silver Edition Anthology bonus disc (basically stock SoC/CS assets with slightly better quality).
Source (optional): the audio is unedited and taken from a pre-release build 2939 (lower volume and slightly better quality, otherwise identical to MoozE's MP3 and build 2945 OGG).
Artwork: old official SoC website.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Tiny but dedicated following (5 endorsements) — if you're a sound snob, this is for you
- No gameplay changes, just pure audio fidelity — exactly what it says on the tin
- Recent update (June 2025) means it's likely still compatible with current game version
⚠️ Cons
- Only 5 endorsements — barely any community validation, so you're flying blind on quality
- Only covers 'most' tracks — some music will still be original quality, which might be jarring
For audiophiles who notice compression artifacts and want the cleanest possible sound without changing the soundtrack. Skip if you're fine with the default music or want new tracks — this is purely a fidelity upgrade.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Back up your original music files before replacing them, so you can revert if you don't like the new quality.
- Check if the mod requires a specific game version — if you're on an older patch, the sync might be off.
- Since it's an audio mod, make sure your in-game volume settings are balanced — the mod adjusts to match originals, but your system EQ can still affect the experience.
