= SndPlayer Plug-In Assets =
The primary sound asset, [[#Generic RWAC Wave Content|Generic RWAC Wave Content]], is a container for EA SndPlayer Plug-In Assets. The parsing of these assets has been difficult in the past but has become much easier due to multiple leaks of EA tools, the most pertinent being a 2008 version of '''sx''' (EA Sound Exchange) which can be downloaded [https://cdnmega.discordapp.comnz/attachmentsfile/810315459831398420/852793592610816030/sx.exe1FUxwYzC#h0jArYIIRlR1vIeS4CbuWy4pELWmh5-4VPffmZJgO0w here].
 
Sound Exchange is a command-line tool. Opening a command prompt window and dragging and dropping the executable should list the full path to it. This path will be referred to simply as <code>sx</code> from now on. Pressing enter should output basic information, and adding <code>-h</code> after a space should output a full help menu.
Line 48:
With the edit complete, the file should be added to <code>SOUND/STREAMS/STREAMHEADERS.BUNDLE</code>, replacing the existing header if there was one. The SNS should go in <code>SOUND/STREAMS</code>, replacing the existing stream if there was one.
 
To find an existing header, search the [[Bundle (original)#Overview|Bundle debug data]] in ''Burnout Paradise Remastered'' for the file name. If it exists, the given resource ID is that of the resource that needs to be replaced. Depending on the toolset, it may be byteswapped (e.g., 01020304 becomes 04030201).

=== Other types ===
[[Nicotine Map|Nicotine]] assets are present in the final game but have not been researched, so their purpose is unknown. The same is true of [[Snapshot Data]]. [[Generic RWAC Reverb IR Content]] is present in [[Burnout 5 (2007-02-22 build)]] under <code>SOUND/IR.BUNDLE</code>. [[Voice Hierarchy]] and its [[Voicecollection Hierarchy Collection|collections]]variant are both unused in Burnout, though the former is present in [[Black 2 (2007-02-0813 build)]]. [[Snr]] and [[Interpreter Data]] are sound-related but entirely unused.
