HCA

HCA is a compressed audio format from CRI Middleware commonly found in games and interactive applications. Some HCA files may use project-specific settings or protection that ordinary converters cannot process.

WAV

WAV is a widely supported audio container often used for uncompressed PCM audio. It is common in recording, editing, production, broadcast, and applications that prefer straightforward, high-fidelity audio.

Bring a game sound into an audio editor
